New version 8.00 is available.
In this version, I tried to take into account the wishes of the user. Each of you can also take part in the improvement of this advisor.
In the default settings, the adviser opens trades when the extremum point is broken standard indicator Zigzag.
When the upper point of the zigzag extremum is broken, it opens a buy deal, and when the lower point of the zigzag extremum is broken, it opens a sell deal.
In addition to the standard ZigZag indicator, which is available in the terminal, it is possible to use Point Zig Zag indicator .
Variables.
- Spread (maximum allowed) - the maximum allowable spread for trading.
- MaxNumber Trades - the maximum allowable number of transactions.
- startHOUR, startMINUTE, stopHOUR, stopMINUTE - time to open "Start" orders.
- The magic number Advisor identification number.
- This is used to start - choose a strategy for the adviser from the proposed one:
5.1 (#5)i_ZigZag - standard indicator zigzag, available in the terminal. The EA opens trades when the extremum point is broken standard indicator Zigzag.
5.2 (#6) i_PointZigZag - author's custom indicator. Requires terminal installation. To test the adviser, it is enough to install the demo version of the indicator. The description of the strategy can be found in the description of the "Point ZigZag" indicator ( post#5 ).
5.3 (#7) i_PointZigZag - author's custom indicator. Requires terminal installation. To test the adviser, it is enough to install the demo version of the indicator. The description of the strategy can be found in the description of the "Point ZigZag" indicator ( post#6 ). An important condition for this strategy to work is setting HighPoints (for Start ) should be more customization Points (for start ) .
5.4 (#70)_Canal - start trading on the breakdown of the reversal levels of the "Point Zig Zag" indicator (it requires installation in the terminal ). If the market reverses and the price breaks through the opposite reversal level of the Point Zig Zag indicator, a Channel is created. The description of the strategy can be found in the description of the indicator " Point ZigZag" (post#).
5.5 (#77)_Canal - start of trading, when EA is turned on, two orders are opened (buy and sell), subsequently a Channel is created according to the reversal levels of the "Point Zig Zag" indicator ( t requires installation in the terminal ) .Attention!
