Automate your trading with any custom indicator
Would you like to automate your trading using a custom indicator of your choice? This EA trades using almost any custom indicator. It offers fully customizable settings, flexible position management, customizable trading sessions and weekdays, an inverse mode and a martingale mode.
All the robot needs from you are two inputs:
- The filename of the indicator to trade
- The signal buffer or the buy/sell buffers to call
That's it! The signal buffer or the buy/sell buffers should be provided by the developer of the indicator.
- Easy to use and supervise
- Customizable break-even, SL, TP and trailing-stop
- Customizable indicator parameters via serialized input
- Trades can be closed on opposite signals
- Filter trading by sessions and weekdays
- Trading can be NFA/FIFO Compliant
- Works for ECN/Non-ECN brokers
- Works for 2-3-4-5 digit symbols
- Implements a martingale mode
- Built-in money management
- Inverse mode available
The EA implements four different money management modes:
- Trade manual lotsize: The EA will trade a fixed lotsize on each trade
- Auto-calculation of lotsizes: The EA will risk % of the account on each trade
- Martingale: The EA will double the lotsize after a losing trade
When using this robot, make sure to type the indicator filename of the indicator that you wish to trade, as it exists in the mql4/indicators folder inside the data folder. Do not type the human name. For example, to trade using the "PZ Multi TDI Indicator" you should type "PZ_MultiTDI" instead of "PZ Multi TDI". To find the indicator filename, just load the indicator to the chart and use the indicator name that appears in the settings dialogue.
This EA can trade using all of our free or premium indicators using the signal buffer provided below. However, it can also trade indicators made by other developers: all you need is to know or ask for the buffers to call.
