| Post subject: | Searching for an EA that does this |
Hello I've been hunting the web for about a week now and have not been able to find the Empty4 EA described. If you know of one that can do the job, please let me know. Thanks. The EA that I seek has the ability to: send an at market buy when the bid gets to the price I specify for example: I decide I want to buy only when bid price gets to 1.2910. So I specify this in the EA, and when the bid price gets to 1.2910, it detects it, triggering an at market buy order (ie. 1.2910 + current spread) That's it! Do you know of an EA that can do it??? Please let me know. I also do not want to use a buy-stop because it requires me to specify an ask price, which does not work with my strategy. |

So, is price above or below 1.2910 in your scenario above? |

Bruce, it is always below when using this EA eg, when i load the EA, and specifiy the bid price (1.2910) at which the EA triggers an at market buy, the current bid price is below 1.2910 |

Try these - they are the ones I use in my live trading. Drag the relevant one onto a chart and await the next tick. The dashed blue line will appear and you can then drag that to exactly where you want it. The ea will wait until the Bid reaches the line and send the trade.  |

Hi Steve I couldnt get this EA to trigger orders. The line after the first tick that you refererred to, didnt appear on the chart. So I tried manually keying the bid price at which a buy was to be triggered, but it didnt trigger. Also, the trade long message that appears on the chart (red arrow) doesnt correlate with the price i keyed into the EA. Any ideas? thanks for the help Peter . |

Nope. Sorry. Works perfectly for me every time, and on my live trading account so I am not mucking around. Cheers |
