Need a hand coding an MA cross EA

It's very rare for two different MAs to have the exact same value. So you check relative MA movement.

Need a hand coding an MA cross EA

What the EA sees are a set of numbers. How do you translate a visual pattern to a set of numbers?

Need a hand coding an MA cross EA

1) They almost never have the same value. To detect a cross, you look for the previous bar to have the fast value above the slow value, and the current bar the fast value below the slow value (for short entries). 2) There are existing examples out ...

Need a hand coding an MA cross EA

Don't give the programmer the settings. E.G. if you use a 50/100 MA crossover, don't tell them it's 50 /100. Just tell them to use a fast and slow MA.

Looking for EA (MQL4) programmer

Amazon EC2 has a free tier. That should be sufficient to get you started.

Publishing the Technical Analysis

There should be a reference to hPIpe in the experts tab. What value is it? Most of the 'hanging' problems are issues with the scripts not being able to see the named pipe.

That's largely the reason why I'm trying to do this at the MT4 broker level. The opportunities are still large enough to work for us, but too small to be profitable for the HFT funds.

Yes. The current problem is getting the trade out to the brokers in time. Current reaction time is ~10ms. Got to get it down.

By executing two trades properly, we can hold them open indefinitely--pending margin requirements. That's the largest advantage over trying to figure out whether a broker is leading, or lagging the market. Keep those ideas coming. The beauty of FF ...

My Own Broker Arbitrage

As universal as Java is, I took one class on it, and was miserable. Maybe Java is an acquired taste, I don't know. I'm working on rewriting my arb scripts so they can work on one pair only. Named pipes clearly don't scale well enough in this ...

How can I change this from a polling infrastructure to an interrupt infrastructure?

My Own Broker Arbitrage

I only recently saw the thread, and the 'revised' EA that goes with it. Presumably, the concept is simple enough: place a pending order for a sell at 0.0000 every 28 seconds, deleting the previous order as need be. It's just a matter of adding that ...
