Hi guys,
So I'm a resident doctor who's gotten hooked on trading, 2years so far and dare I say it's profitable.
So cus of my schedule I decided to learn how to code my own EA.
Here goes..
My plans quite simple, basically 5 and 10 MA cross-over.
I've successfully defined all my parameters and how it should go.
But the problem I keep getting errors in is opening and closing buy and sell orders and lot sizes.
What I want is simply to buy when 5 crosses above 10,then close when 5 crosses below 10 and open a sell order immediately, just 1 order at a time.
And for the lot sizes, I want it to automatically calculate my lot size to always take one fifth of my free margin so I wouldn't get stuck on a fixed lot size as my balance grows.
I'd really appreciate whomever can guide me through this process.. Thanks in anticipation, all ideas are welcome.

Even if you have half-baked knowledge of programming you should be able to create an algorithm for yourself using python for MT4. It’s fairly easy to use. I thought of myself as technologically-challenged before I created 2 EAs for daytrading stocks and forex on charles schwab and fxview. Although I use RSI for trend trading and manually sit in front of my system but at times I make use of eas to trade and send me alerts. To be honest if I could do it anybody can :)

It's a fairly simple strategy. But please understand that some of the programmers need to get paid for doing this project.
Trading is a marathon, not a sprint.
