Volatility Scalper (EA)

This strategy uses the volatility indicator to place trades based on increases in short term volatility. The strategy compares the volatility indicator to a moving average to define periods of increased volatility. When the volatility reading crosses the volatilities moving average, volatility is defined as up and a trade is placed.

When volatility is up, an entry to buy is placed at the upper price channel, and an entry to short is placed at the lower price channel. If volatility is not above the moving average, then no entries are made.

This strategy was created by James Stanley of the DailyFX.com course department.

BB Bandwidth Oscillator Average (Indicator)

Here's an interesting indicator created by James Stanley of DailyFX. The oscillator measures the difference between the upper and lower bollinger bands. A moving average of the same length as the bollinger band is also plotted over the oscillator.

If the oscillator is greater than the moving average, it indicates the trend is accelerating.

If the oscillator is less than the moving average, it indicates the trend is decelerating.

Simple Trend Trader (EA)

This strategy is a simple trend trader that uses RSI and MACD.

The strategy uses RSI as a trend filter with a 50/50 cutoff. RSI > 50 only long trades will be opened, RSI < 50 only short trades will be opened.

The trigger is MACD, I was using 21,55, and 9 as the default settings. If bullish MACD cross takes place while RSI > 50, long position will be opened. If Bearish MACD cross takes place while RSI < 50, short position will be opened.

Risk is managed via Stop, Profit Target, Breakeven Stop, and a Trailing Stop. All are in Dollars - not number of pips.

All of the inputs can be modified through the input options menu when setting the strategy.

Ichimoku Strategy (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 James Stanley at FXCM.

Coding Language Help Document

One of the biggest requests for Strategy Trader has been for better coding documentation. The coding help document was recently revised (and greatly improved) so I thought this would be a beneficial document to upload before posting any indicators or strategies.
