How the current EA works:

The EA opens up buy and sell bets at the change of slope of the MACD line (Blue line). If slope turns from negative to positive it will open up a buy bet and if slope changes from positive to negative it will open up sell bet. There is a function called “shifting index” which allows a user specified “X” number of bars to wait after signal held true to open the order. There are fields for “buy number” and “sell number” to specify the maximum number of buy and sell bets that can be opened at a given time. There are several other closing rules including TP/SL, close on equity percent etc. 

The modifications made to the EA shall not affect the current function of the EA if set to false. The following modifications are additional conditions/filters for opening and closing orders.  


Changes required for MACD Slope EA

1)	Type -close condition: Change “close on reverse signal” to close on reverse signal after “x” user specified number of bars. If set to 2 bars, and opposite signal (slope change) only holds for 1 bar, the bet will stay open and other bets will still open according to conditions met by EA. 0 means immediately close on first appearance of opposite signal (slope change)
2)	Type- Open Condition: Open up buy bets only after buy signal crossing (blue line above red line) and sell bets only after sell signal crossing (blue line below red line). This is an additional filter to tell EA when to trigger buy and when to trigger sell. The EA will work exactly the same except it will distinguish between when to buy and when to sell according to these rules. True or false option. If False, EA will work as it currently does. If True, the filter will only open up buy and sell bets according to rules described. Name: BuySell Condition
3)	Type- Open Condition: Open up buy bet at buy signal crossing (Blue line above red line), and open up sell bet at sell crossing (Blue line below red line) after user input “X” bars held true. True or false option with user input number of bars. 0 means immediately on first appearance of crossing. 1 means wait 1 bar and if condition is still true, open bet. If false, EA will work as it currently does. If True the EA will open up first bet according to user input number of bars, and open up additional bets according to the current function of EA.
