Need some advise on converting my Heiken Ashi strategy into an mt4 EA

[salemtrading5]

Hi all, I developed a tradingview strategy that uses the heinken ashi candle patterns for entry with a vwap trend filter. The strategy can be 50% win ratio and profitable. I would like to convert it into an mt4 ea so that i can properly backtest it. 

Please does anyone have any advise. I\ve used chat GPT but its inconclusive. 

Some questions i have: Would i need to search for an existing mt4 Heineken ashi candle indicator and vwap indicator in order for the conversion to be possible.

Don't use chatGPT if you are beginner you won't be able to correct its errors - imho.

Instead search for Heiken Ashi EA - there are plenty!

Then search for "add indicator to EA" or read this article: https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/10329.

Hi

If you don’t know how to code in mq4 it would be best to hire some freelancer who will code this for you according to your specification. If you want to try it by yourself – please write your code and parts where you have some problems and we can try to give you some hints and tips what to do.

Heiken Ashi is available in the mt4 platform, as for the other indicator you would probably need the mt4 version or write it by yourself (or include in the code of your final indicator). There might be some free versions available online – check the forum. But you cannot use the tradingview version directly in mt4.

Best Regards

Here is a Template you can use for the heiken ashi.

    bool bearishTrend = haClose < haOpen;

    // Entry and exit conditions
    if (bullishTrend)
    {
        // Place buy order
        int ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, LotSize, Ask, 3, 0, 0, "Buy order", 0, 0, Green);
        if (ticket > 0)
        {
            Print("Buy order placed successfully. Ticket: ", ticket);
        }
        else
        {
            Print("Error placing buy order. Error code: ", GetLastError());
        }
    }
    else if (bearishTrend)
    {
        // Place sell order
        int ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_SELL, LotSize, Bid, 3, 0, 0, "Sell order", 0, 0, Red);
        if (ticket > 0)
        {
            Print("Sell order placed successfully. Ticket: ", ticket);
        }
        else
        {
            Print("Error placing sell order. Error code: ", GetLastError());
        }
    }
}

It uses the bearish and bullish trend of the heiken ashi when it starts with the swap of color candles. No one will code a complete expert for you here, unless you go to freelance or people who codes for free, but they will want your strategy. i have set the example above so you can work from it. Once you come back and you have shown effort in trying, we will consider helping you further.
