Here we will consider the signals, based on Dark Cloud Cover/Piercing Line reversal candlestick pattern, confirmed by Stochastic indicator. The module of trade signals is based on the class, it's simple example of its use for creation of trade signals with candlestick patterns.
Dark Cloud Cover and Piercing Line reversal candlestick patterns are used to generate trade signals. The Dark Cloud Cover pattern is a bearish candlestick reversal that occurs at the end of uptrend. The Piercing Line pattern is a bullish candlestick reversal that occurs at the end of downtrend.
The trading signals to open long or short position must be confirmed by Stochastic indicator. The signal %D line must be greater/lower then corresponding critical level (30 or 70).
The closing of opened position depends on the values of %D indicator. It can be done in 2 cases: if %D line has reached the opposite critical level (80 for long position and 20 for short position), or if the reverse signal isn't confirmed (when %D line reaches the following levels: 20 for long position and 80 for short position).
To create an Expert Advisor using MQL5 Wizard, you need to download the necessary files and save them to the client_terminal_data folder. Then, launch the MQL5 Wizard and specify the name of the Expert Advisor. After that, select the modules of trade signals used and add the Signals based on Dark Cloud Cover/Piercing Line confirmed by Stochastic module of trading signals.
You can select any trailing properties and money management properties. By pressing the Finish button, you will get the code of the generated Expert Advisor.
The default input parameters of the generated Expert Advisor must be replaced. The Signal_ThresholdOpen/Signal_ThresholdClose input parameters allow to specify threshold levels for open and close of positions.
The Expert Advisor, generated by MQL5 Wizard open and close position using the votes from the modules of trade signals. The vote of the main module is also used, but its LongCondition() and ShortCondition() methods always return 0.
The values of Signal_StopLevel and Signal_TakeLevel input parameters is set to 0, it means that closing of the positions will be done only when closing conditions will be true.
Let's consider backtesting of the Expert Advisor on historical data. The best set of input parameters can be found using the strategy tester of MetaTrader 5 client terminal.
