indeed EA is a task and its work helps traders to trade when the trader is unavailable, so in my opinion, a good EA is EA which is made from the trading techniques of the trader itself

I also agree to your opinion sir, besides that if EA is made based on its own manual trading it will be easier if there is trouble

Hi All
As a thank you to this forum, I decided to code an EA on a relatively successful trading system I personally use.
True thanks to Admin and CrazyProg for helping with the ever so annoying coding questions.
This EA used 3 MA's, but instead of just entering a trade when all the MA's are in the right direction, we wait for a retracement , ( it sends fewer signals this way, but your stops etc can be tighter now).
You can adjust the MA price and methods, so a suggestion is to run optimizer to get the right values for each pair.
A few more things:
You can hide your SL and TP from your broker, in which case the EA will not only close the orders when the prices are reached, but it will draw lines on your chart so you can see where your levels are.
Also you can choose trading times, (very basic, as I am not that skilled in coding yet to include days and minutes etc), it will only open trades between the times specified if set to "true", it will not open new trades outside the times, but it will still manage open trades if SL and TP are hidden from the broker.

Please enjoy, and any feedback will be appreciated.
thank you EA sir, I will try it, can it be used on a demo account first?

I suggest you try it on a demo first.

Hi,
I have optimized this EA for a bunch of pairs and it's working pretty well. Let's see if it passes the "two-week" test in profits. 
Coding and building the EA is the first step, but calibrating, optimizing and refining the results takes some effort as well. 
Good luck!
Johnny

It's very true
Let me know if you need any alterations.
