Hi to all who read this,
I am currently developing an ea that trades using zigzags and fibonacci retracement and extension levels pulled from the zigzags it also uses candle stick patterns it does all this by itself without additional indicators and draws the info on chart (optional). Although I borrowed some code from indicators as I am already slow enough at coding in mql4 or any language comes to that including my primary englich there is always a glitch. I can set the time frame for the zigzags and the candle stick patterns externally this all works great no matter what time frame the chart is on! contrary to what I read somewhere. I have also put together some various codes for pivot points and s-r levels
but in a separate ea, but not to trade! this is why I have named the thread ea or indicator maybe I should be making it a script however it will hopefully do what I want either way which is, (and maybe some of you have done this) ...
"I am fed up of using all the hours and powers of my four cores to optimize and still not get the same results on different periods of time" so with one run through time, collect data into multi-dimensional arrays of how close to the various pivots the price came, or if it broke and how far, did it still bounce, did it cross by more than 10 pips, how far did it go, and also collect the date stamps for every stage etc etc etc the main problem
I have is how to lay out the array, so I can pull back the data and put it into a spread sheet for easy analysis I was thinking of saying within 10 pips is stage 1 within 4 pips stage 2 one pip either side is touched, 4 pips past possible break 10 pips should be confirmed and 20 - 25 pips either side confirms the outcome. Any sensible comments advice suggestions or previous experience appreciated questions also welcome as my explaining may not be adequate. I know this may be easier done in c++ or visual but after spending so long trying to work with mql4 I can't just do whats easiest the harder way if you know what I mean. I have spent so many painfull hours getting to where I am now and this is the first time I have spoke on any forum of what I am doing with this ea but I feel I need a little help from one or two of you experienced guys out there and may even have put some ideas up for grabs for some people?? Thanks for reading. I will mention I am intrigued with eurusdd's threat titled "the ultimate truth" but to much to take on board all at once must continue proving or disproving my ea.one more thing I tried filewritearray in a previous ea and it produced a file but the data was no readable lots of unusual symbols/charators yet when I used the Print() function the arrays contained the correct data, I have not tried getlasterror() yet. Has anyone had this problem? I will have to get the data out somehow when I know how best to lay it all out!
