The easiest way to make an Algorithmic Trading Robot

in forex •  8 years ago 

The forex market is one of the most dynamic markets on the planet. Unfortuatelly 95% of the traders loose their money. This is mainly because they don't have good tested trading strategy.

On the other hand having a strategy, means that you have clear rules about every market situation. And when the rules are clear this trading system can be automated. There are many advantages for the automated systems like - 24 hours trading, reaction speed,monitoring huge numbers of financial instruments in different timeframes, the ability to backtest the system and many others.

Automating a trading system is difficult because it requires program skills which most of the traders don't have. With this Expert Advisor builder such skills are no longer needed.

In our big experience creating automated trading systems, we have found that usually simple things work. With every rule you add , you optimize your results in the past, but this will give you worst results in the future.So our advice is - keep things simple.

Now lets create simple trading system for example.To begin we need four basic things :

When to open long position?
When to close long position?
When to open short position?
When to close short position?

Lets say we have this basic strategy:

We open long position when Rsi (Relative Strength Index) crosses 30.
We open short position when Rsi (Relative Strength Index) crosses 70.
We don't have exit rules , we have 50 points of StopLoss and 50 points of Takeprofit.

Now we need to open the first tab Open Buy and we choose this :
Open Buy Order

This basically means this if the pre previous value of RSI is less than 30 and previous bar is closed with value for RSI over 30 , we have our open long condition.

The same we do for sell:
Open Sell Order

We skip Close buy and Close Sell and go directly to Settings tab.

We set StopLoss 50 points and TakeProfit 50 points. We want advanced MM so we check that option. Now we go to the last tab and press the Generate button. Now all we need is to copy the code and paste it in the MQL Editor, compile it and start using it.
