The beta version of the FX Strategy Wizard is available.
You can download the release here.

FX Strategy Wizard is intended for those who do not have knowledge of programming but are willing to create their own strategies and signal indicators to work on platforms supported by FXCM.

Please find step-by-step instructions on how to create a simple strategy by using FX Strategy Wizard in this article.

hi,
I am attempting to create a strategy in FX Strategy Wizard using the Renko3.lua indicator.
However the indicator Renko3 does not showup in the list of indicators.

I have already imported the Renko3 indicator both in my FXCM Trading Station Platform and the SDK folders.

I am seeing that the Heiken Ashi indicator also does not show up.

Can you please assist with this?

Thanks
Satej

Hi satejchaudhary,

We have checked the Renko3 indicator downloaded from here: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2360&p=8183&hilit=Renko3#p7984

and copied it in the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Candleworks\FXTS2\indicators\Custom\

Everything is working fine:

But you should pay attention that there is a filer in FX Startegy Wizard: if you choose timeframe = tick or in the datasource tab choose DataType = tick, then the indicators that are using bars for calculations (as a source) won't be shown in the Startegy Wizard indicators list.

Renko 3 indicator uses bars which means that you should choose bar as a timeframe and DataType.

Check the same thing for the Heiken Ashi indicator.

Best regards,

Yes. That was it. I had checked "allow ticks" in the Strategy Wizard Data Source, because of which Renko3 did not show up in the indicators list.

It works now.

Thanks!

The wizard is a great tool,. However, it can't do looping eg, r=r+1. If a rewrite variable function is added into the activation page, that would be great and looping is made possible.

I would like to ask if it's possible to have a manual or examples of files in .fxswproj (for example a simple strategy of MACD) that help to use it.
Thanks very much.

Hi GeorgeR,

I have tried to generate the strategy like it is described in the article. If you know how the strategy works, you can generate other strategy.
Please find the .fxswproj file of the MA_Advisor strategy attached.

Under "Step 2.5. Indicators", one has the option to specify the "data source type" as close, high, open etc. Isn't there an option that I can chose to get the current price of the bar?

Thanks for a reply!

Bar has no current value.
contains at least four components (open, close, high, low ...)
