EA coding

New comment
 

Hi All,

I was hoping out there someone might be able to help me. I am trying to write an EA. it is a simple hammer and stars strategy. I tried to get ChatGPT to write it but nothing that app does helps or is successful.

The logic is simple. Buy when hammer is .333 must be a bull candle. Opposite for short. would like a ema filter that in can change at the input.

Can anyone help me i would be greatly appreciated.

 
You should post a job into the freelance section, I think no one will build an EA from scratch to you for free, neither ChatGPT, as you already seen :)

I tried to get ChatGPT

Can anyone help me i would be greatly appreciated.

  1. Stop using ChatGPT/Copilot.
              Help needed to debug and fix an AI EA - Trading Systems - MQL5 programming forum #2 (2023)

    ChatGPT (the worst), “Bots Builder”, “EA builder”, “EA Builder Pro”, EATree, “Etasoft forex generator”, “Forex Strategy Builder”, ForexEAdvisor (aka. ForexEAdvisor STRATEGY BUILDER, and Online Forex Expert Advisor Generator), ForexRobotAcademy.com, forexsb, “FX EA Builder”, fxDreema, Forex Generator, FxPro, “LP-MOBI”, Molanis, “Octa-FX Meta Editor”, Strategy Builder FX, “Strategy Quant”, “Visual Trader Studio”, “MQL5 Wizard”, etc., are all the same. You will get something quick, but then you will spend a much longer time trying to get it right, than if you learned the language up front, and then just wrote it.

    Since you haven't learned MQL4/5, therefor there is no common language for us to communicate. If we tell you what you need, you can't code it. If we give you the code, you don't know how to integrate it into yours.

    We are willing to HELP you when you post your attempt (using Code button) and state the nature of your problem, but we are not going to debug your hundreds of lines of code. You are essentially going to be on your own.

    ChatGPT
    1. Even it says do not use it for coding. * 
    2. Mixing MT4 and MT5 code together.
    3. Creating multiple OnCalculate/OnTick functions.
    4. OnCalculate returning a double.
    5. Filling buffers with zero in OnInit (they have no size yet). Setting buffer elements to zero but not setting Empty Value to correspond.
    6. Calling undefined functions.
    7. Calling MT4 functions in MT5 code.
    8. Sometimes, not using strict (MT4 code).
    9. Code that will not compile.
    10. Creating code outside of functions. * 
    11. Creating incomplete code. * 
    12. Initialization of Global variables with non-constants. * 
    13. Assigning a MT5 handle to a double or missing the buffer and bar indexes in a MT4 call. * 
    14. Useing MT4 Trade Functions without first selecting an order. * 
    15. Uses NULL in OrderSend. * 
    bot builder Creating two OnInit() functions. * 
    EA builder
    1. Counting up while closing multiple orders.
    2. Not useing time in new bar detection.
    3. Not adjusting for 4/5 digit brokers, TP/SL and slippage. * 
    4. Not checking return codes.
    EATree Uses objects on chart to save values — not persistent storage (files or GV+Flush.) No recovery (crash/power failure.)
    ForexEAdvisor
    1. Non-updateing global variables.
    2. Compilation errors.
    3. Not checking return codes.
    4. Not reporting errors.
    FX EA Builder
    1. Not checking return codes.
    2. Loosing open tickets on terminal restart. No recovery (crash/power failure.)
    3. Not adjusting stops for the spread. * 
    4. Using OrdersTotal directly.
    5. Using the old event handlers.

  2. Help you with what? You haven't stated a problem, you stated a want. Show us your attempt (using the CODE button) and state the nature of your difficulty.
         How To Ask Questions The Smart Way. (2004)
              Prune pointless queries.

    You have only four choices:

    1. Search for it (CodeBase or Market). Do you expect us to do your research for you?

    2. Try asking at:

    3. MT4: Learn to code it.
      MT5: Begin learning to code it.

      If you don't learn MQL4/5, there is no common language for us to communicate. If we tell you what you need, you can't code it. If we give you the code, you don't know how to integrate it into your code.

    4. Or pay (Freelance) someone to code it. Top of every page is the link Freelance.
                Hiring to write script - General - MQL5 programming forum (2019)

    We're not going to code it for you (although it could happen if you are lucky or the problem is interesting.) We are willing to help you when you post your attempt (using CODE button) and state the nature of your problem.

Hi Peter, there is no way ChatGpt will code for you, not MQL at least. You need to learn to do it yourself. Be part of the forum, you will learn a lot here from us, and browse MQL5, you will find plenty of help here. Do not use Ai to code, its a very bad choice. The only way to express your true potential is by learning MQL.
