  Hi im looking for some help to put a automated code together

  BUY ORDER

  If EMA 10/25 is BELOW Dounchain Channel Middle THEN place BUY order when candle stick hits Dounchain Channel DOWN. Close order when NEXT candle Stick hits EMA 10

  SELL ORDER

  If EMA 10/25 is ABOVE Dounchain Channel Middle THEN place SELL order when candle stick hits Dounchain Channel UP. Close order when NEXT candle stick hits EMA 10

  Here is the code for your Donchian automatic trading strategy:

  DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False donchianperiod = 20 // indis hh = highest[donchianperiod](high) ll = lowest[donchianperiod](low) mid = (hh+ll)/2 ema10 = exponentialaverage[10] ema25 = exponentialaverage[25] // trading if ema10>mid and ema25>mid then buy 1 contract at hh stop endif if ema10<mid and ema25<mid then sellshort 1 contract at ll stop endif // exit trigger if longonmarket then sell at ema10 stop endif if shortonmarket then exitshort at ema10 stop endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27

  DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False   donchianperiod = 20   // indis hh = highest[donchianperiod](high) ll = lowest[donchianperiod](low) mid = (hh+ll)/2 ema10 = exponentialaverage[10] ema25 = exponentialaverage[25]   // trading if ema10>mid and ema25>mid then buy 1 contract at hh stop endif   if ema10<mid and ema25<mid then sellshort 1 contract at ll stop endif   // exit trigger if longonmarket then sell at ema10 stop endif if shortonmarket then exitshort at ema10 stop endif

  You did not tell what would be the Donchian channel period, so I made it as a variable you can change (default is 20 periods).

  I’m looking for similar help. Is it possible to share code so I can OPEN a short position if price crosses Upper Donchian Channel THEN close order when it crosses Donchian Lower Channel (only one order open at any one time)? I can use this when there is a strong downward trend  -thanks.
