Investigate quarters theory by trading round-number support and resistance on the Eurodollar hourly chart, using buy/sell limits, cost averaging, and trailing stops to capture profits.
Create a basic mql5 expert advisor template, declare general parameters (id, symbol, time frame, slippage), and customize the chart on load using on initialization and on tick logic.
Set the calculation interval for the Ontick function by using a new bar check driven by alt_num_pass to run code only when a new bar appears, improving efficiency.
Create objects of the CTrade, CPositionInfo, and related info classes by importing the trade.mk file; then initialize to set the magic number and deviation in points for all trades.
Compute the position size from account balance and risk inputs using a balance-based lot size per trade. Round and clamp the lot within symbol limits with a lot size function.
Enter trades as buy and sell limit pending orders at support and resistance. Prepare trade comments and delete old pending orders before cost averaging to enter new trades.
Implement trailing stop loss functions for pi trades and sell trades by setting trade management inputs, converting pips to points, and updating stop losses as price moves.
Create two functions to trail take profit for all positions and sell trades, using a for loop to adjust take profit from average price and buy points, with error handling.
Test the quotas theory expert advisor on the euro-dollar 1-hour chart from 2019 to 2024 with visual mode, two pending orders: buy limit and sell limit, and a $3,000 account.
Apply goddess theory to identify key price zones that act as natural support and resistance, empowering your manual and automated trading projects in MQL5 via the Quotas theorem.
One of the most fundamental concepts that traders use to analyze and predict market movements is the Quarters Theory. The Quarters theory was publicized by Illian Yotov in his book, the Quarters theory, a revolutionary way to trade. This theory revolves around the idea that markets tend to move in quarters, breaking into distinct price zones that traders use to identify key points of support, resistance, and overall market direction. By understanding the Quarters Theory and how these price zones form, traders can develop more informed strategies and improve their chances of success in the currency markets.
In this course, our aim is to build an expert advisor based on the Quarters Theory in MQL5. We will start by creating a Quarters Theory indicator, helping you learn how to identify these key price zones using programming tools. I'll walk you through the logic of the code, ensuring you understand each step of the process.
In our strategy, we’ll focus on trade management techniques that help minimize risk. Unlike methods that rely on increasing lot sizes exponentially, such as Martingale, our system will use a linear approach to gradually adjust position sizes. This allows for faster exits while still managing risk in a controlled way through multi-level entries at different price zones.
If you're still familiarizing yourself with MQL5, don't worry. As long as you understand the basics, this course is perfect for you. I'll patiently guide you through every step, ensuring you grasp the concepts behind each line of code. By the end of this course, you'll have gained the skills necessary to code similar trading models based on the Quarters Theory and will better appreciate how understanding market zones can help shape your own trading strategies.
