Strategy Trader: Custom Indicators and EA's

[Jason Rogers]

This thread contains a library of custom indicators and EA's available for FXCM's Strategy Trader platform. In order to use a specific indicator or EA, you will first need to download and unzip the file attached that specific post. Second, you will need to import the .FXD file into the Strategy Trader platform. The file can be imported into the platform using the Strategy Language Editor. There are multiple ways you can access the Strategy Language Editor (instructions below):

Accessing the Strategy Trader editor to import EA's and indicators.

1. Strategy Language Editor desktop icon.
A Strategy Language Editor icon is automatically added to your desktop whenever you install Strategy Trader.

2. Strategy Trader file menu:
Can be found by clicking on File at the top left of the Strategy Trader platform.

3. Strategy Trader main menu icon:
Can be found at the top of the Strategy Trader platform in the row of menu buttons:

Once the Strategy Language Editor opens, goto the top left of the window and click on File > Import.


I have also attached the Coding Language Help Document for Strategy Trader to this post. The document should be useful if you plan to modify the indicator/ea to your own liking or create a new indicator/ea.

Economic Calendar Indicator

The economic calendar indicator will post economic news announcements directly onto the chart along with the actual figure released. The indicator will display any economic events relevant to the currency pair displayed in the chart. For example if you are viewing USD/JPY, it will display economic releases relevant to the US and Japan. The indicator pulls data from the DailyFX economic calendar.

Ichimoku EA

This strategy trades off the Tenkan/Kijun Crossover from the Ichimoku indicator. A new position is opened when there is a crossover, and the lot size is dependent on signal strength. For example, if a short signal occurs below the cloud (Kumo), then the strategy opens 2 lots since this is considered a strong signal. If a short signal occurs above the cloud (Kumo), then the strategy only opens 1 lot since this is considered a weak signal.

This EA is coded compliments of DailyFX+ Course Instructor James Stanley.

Keltner Channel Strategy EA

This strategy uses Keltner Channels for buying and selling. If

Buying logic
An entry order to buy at the high price of the current bar will be generated if the current bar crosses the upper band.

Selling Logic
An entry order to sell at the low price of the current bar will be generated if the current bar crosses the lower band.

Here's a list of the inputs you will be able to modify when adding the EA:

Keltner Channel Indicator
Length = 20
Numatrs = 1.5 -> this value is multiplied by the average true range of the current bar to determine the distance from the upper and lower bands to the midline.

Other inputs / default values
Limit = 0

Use SSL = False
Port = 25
Trailing Stop = 0
Email Alert = False
