    I have sort of the opposite problem you have. I know programming, but don't know the market. What's an EA?
     
  3. JSystemTrader is an open source Java ATS for IB.

    Go to http://code.google.com/p/jsystemtrader/ and download the code.

    After you unzip the code all the indicators are in the JSystemTrader/source/com/jsystemtrader/indicator folder.

    The are EMA, HMA, SMA AND WMA among the many indicators available.

    Jeb9999,

    Thank you very much for the link and information

    It looks like I still need to have some programming know-how and I have absolutely zero-zilch

    Is there any program you know of that will allow me to create an EA just based on moving averages?

    Essentially, I just want to create an EA where I enter a trade when the 10SMA touches the 20SMA and then take 60 pips in profit

    Cheers!! :)
     
  5. For what platform/broker you want to create it?
