Indicator push notification as trade signal?

Post by jptwardy »

I have an indicator, really a dashboard, that displays 18 forex pairs. It generates a push notification when the conditions are met for any/each pair. Is it possible to pass these notifications into an expert advisor to automate the trading? Thanks

Yes, that is possible but you are looking at it the wrong way. Look at the code in the indicator and in particular the condition(s) under which these notifications are generated. Then copy the code of these conditions into an EA and add the OrderSend code. This is a much better approach. You will also have to add the trade management code.

In addition to what Rene posted, try one of my shell EA codes at viewtopic.php?p=803#p803.

The likes of Rene, Thomas and myself are always happy to help someone trying to help themselves, so post here if you get stuck so that others can learn along with you.

I still suffer from OCCD. Good thing, really.

Anyone here feeling generous? My paypal account is always in the market for a tiny donation. pianodoodler@hotmail.com is the account.

An addendum to my previous post. I am nowhere near the class of Rene and Thomas as a coder. Those guys are genius's.

I merely hack out trading EA's for fun. The other two find this activity boring and leave it to me.
