Steve Cartwright Trader Camel CCI MACD - expert pour MetaTrader 5

Author of the idea — John Smith, author of the MQL5 code — barabashkakvn. 

The EA uses two Moving Averages, one MACD and one CCI. OnTradeTransaction is used to receive position opening time.

All indicator values are used from the bar with index 1.

//--- Indicator Setup     CAMELHIGHP1=iMAGet(handle_iMA_PRICE_HIGH,1);    CAMELLOWP1=iMAGet(handle_iMA_PRICE_LOW,1); //    MACDSP1=iMACDGet(SIGNAL_LINE,1);    MACDSP2=iMACDGet(SIGNAL_LINE,2); //    MACDHP1=iMACDGet(MAIN_LINE,1);    MACDHP2=iMACDGet(MAIN_LINE,2); //    CCIP1=iCCIGet(1); 

The appropriate control is performed: whether a position has already been opened on the current bar, so there is no need to check all positions (because other Expert Advisors can be running on the same trading account).

Position opening time is controlled in OnTradeTransaction. If position closure was recorded, the open time will be reset:
