Thread: Wanted gap trading EA

  1. #1
    HI,

    I need something easy but specific as I really do have the knowledge to do so:

    I would like a specialist or an indior that does this:
    I would like mt4 to create for me an excel file where I'll loe:
    all of the openings (just friday-sundays)
    price closed on friday
    price open on sunday
    if the gap opened up I would like the highest price prior to the price went back into the near on friday and the opposite if the it gapped down
    the number of hours it took for the gap to close and when did it shut.

    I will provide you an illuion:
    inside this file


    I will need those values:


    september 12 2008 closed at 1.4215
    september 15 available at 1.4341
    large (before the gap closed) 1.4481 on september 15th at 6:23AM GST
    gap closed september 15th at 1h29 PM GST

    for those who have a query pleas fell free to reply.
    Thank you

    There aren't any openings or only a couple of pips. Use oanda the gaps will be filled by them

    Also resizing your chart would be quite softly.

    Hi,
    This sounds like a missing thread, but I'll give it a try anyhow.

    I'm looking for an EA that will allow me to input various parametersSL, TP, TS etc.) and rear test them. There was an EA put out from KirkaFund however I couldn't get it to work and neither could most other folks (just another dead thread!)

    Failing this, is there a bit of SW that will allow me to construct my own egy and rear test it?

    Many thanks,



    Mike

    I wonder why the odd 20% of the time the Sunday gap belongs from the wrong direction? Hmmmmm.... Are the Big Boys simply playing with us?

    Hi Cobra,

    Ahh, there is still some life from the beast! :--RRB- I thought this thread was because of the knackers yard!

    I too discovered that EA and attempted it, but it never did anything; kept telling me the gap was too small. Maybe there should have been something else with it, like an indior or some thing? Sundays, can it recognise? Does it get the time from the chart?

    Tried analyzing it - no outcomes. I hope the author would drop by the forum.

    Do you gap trade Sunday/Monday?

    I did use another EA I discovered (possibly here) called Gap Trader from Goshur, and that seemed to work except it ignores my input of 0.1 lots and does it's own thing with 0.36 lots LOL! That EA test gave me8K profit in 10 months, but I might be overoptimising it. I'm only starting out with optimisation and do not really understand it entirely.

    Cheers,

    Mike

    Yes Mike I trade openings but manually, I am from the generation that still makes musik using a guitar in the hands.

    If you like you may email me and I've someone of my coder Team to look at it doesn't accept your order.

    Together with the one I submitted we can not function as it is ex4.

    I also discovered that EA and attempted it, but it never did anything; kept telling me that the difference was too small. There ought to have been something else with it, like an indior or something? Sundays how can it recognise? Does this get the time from the chart?

    Do you gap commerce Sunday/Monday?

    I did use a second EA I discovered (possibly here) called Gap Trader...

    Hi Cobra,
    I mean to just trade manually too, simply use the EA for optimising SL, TP, TS etc.. A system I tried on a week Sunday open and the week earlier, using GBPUSD EURUSD, was to exchange in reverse direction to gap, in the open of first pub of the week, using SL 100 TP 40. Resulted in 2 wins in fourteen days. Checking back for 11 weeks, revealed that GU EU'd -400 pips drawdown using 800 pip wins, net result 400 pips that, @ 1 lot $4000 and @ 2 lots = $8000 etc., etc.. That would pay my weekly shopping bill!

    Because I did these tests, I wondered how I could eliminate those nasty 100 pip drawdowns and I found that of the drawdowns went against the trend (indeed, all the wins almost always went together with the trend - that wins that went against the trend only had a 50-80 pip retracement, resulting in TP, before continuing on the trend), which brings us back to 'how can one predict the trend?' ! Hmmmm....

    Anyhow, just for today, I want to find an EA that is going to do the following:-

    1) discover close of last bar of Friday commerce

    two) detect direction of gap (occasionally 0.1 pips - 60 pips) when Sunday evening commerce starts again. This may not be possible on egy testing. Perhaps the EA could have an integrated calendar to synchronise with test dates?

    3) place a trade in reverse direction to gap direction i.e. if gaps up, place SELL commerce vice versa.

    4) should be able to utilize MT4 egy tester and discover every Friday/Sunday gap for the time frame chosen, in which ever timeframe I select (analysing visual results isn't possible on just a daily chart as it often does not reveal whether it strike the TP before or after SL.)

    5) factor SL, TP, TS, - all values in pips.

    You can build a non-trading feature to it (won't exchange current day) as it's just necessary for optimisation.

    I have attached two EAs for you to look at.


    BTW, I'd want to know how you exchange the Friday-Sunday gap?

    Many thanks for your kind offer to try and assist me with my issue.


    Regards,


    Mike

    PS Back testing GBPUSD and only trading with the trend, let me easily increase the TP out of 40 to 100. The only times I dropped was when I wrongly identified the trend! Today, all we need is an EA to spot the trend and we're filthy rich LOL !! If you snap your fingers, I'll wake up....
