input parameters
trade size calculation:
the ea allows for three types of trade size calculations:
fixed lot size.
balance percentage (percentage of account balance used to calculate lot size).
equity percentage (percentage of account equity used to calculate lot size).
inputs like fixedlotsize , tradesizepercent , and magicnumber configure the lot size and uniquely identify trades.
indicator settings:
the ea uses a variety of indicators for generating buy and sell signals:
moving average (ma) with configurable period.
relative strength index (rsi) with configurable overbought/oversold levels.
macd with adjustable ema and signal line settings.
bollinger bands with adjustable periods and deviation settings.
stochastic oscillator with configurable %k, %d, and slowing parameters.
each indicator can be toggled on or off using input parameters like usema , usersi , etc. signal detection
isbuysignal(): this function checks if all buy conditions are met based on the chosen indicators. for example:
ma condition: checks if the shorter-term ma is above the longer-term ma.
rsi condition: looks for the rsi being below 50 (relaxed from the oversold level of 30).
macd condition: compares the macd line and signal line.
bollinger bands condition: checks if the price is below the lower band.
stochastic condition: looks for %k and %d values below 50 (relaxed from 20).
issellsignal(): similar to isbuysignal() , but reversed for selling conditions, such as checking for:
ma short < ma long,
rsi > 50 (relaxed from overbought at 70),
macd line < signal line,
price above the upper bollinger band, etc. trade execution
when the buy or sell conditions are met, the ea places a trade with calculated stop loss (sl) and take profit (tp) based on multipliers ( sl_multiplier , tp_multiplier ).
the lot size is calculated using the calculatelotsize() function, which adjusts based on the selected tradesizetype .
orders are executed using the ordersend() function, with error handling to check for issues in placing trades.
