Market Name Suffix Handling

Market Name Suffix Handling

There are standard market names which are commonly used for currency pairs, likeEURUSD, GBPUSD, USDCHF, USDJPY etc. Many broker offers these standard marketnames on their MT4 platform, however some brokers may add some prefix or suffix tothe market names resulting in broker specific names like EURUSDecn, EURUSD.m ormEURUSD etc. As a convenience, the EA makes an attempt to discover the broker specificprefix and suffix and use those automatically while scanning the listed market names.This makes the configuration of the EA portable between brokers, less cluttered andvisually clean.

When the EA is configured with markets other than FOREX pairs, or a mix of FOREX andand non-FOREX markets with various prefix or suffex values then this feature may notwork. In this case turn this feature off and enter the full market names including theprefix/suffix as seen in the MT4 Market Watch window.

Market NameSuffix Handling

Description

Automatic: SuffixDiscovered By EA

The EA identifies the broker specific market nameprefix and suffix values therefore only the standardFOREX market names - without the broker specificprefix and suffix - should be entered into the EAparameter Market Names.

15

Market NameSuffix Handling

Description

Manual: Enter As Part OfMarket Name

In case of variable prefix or suffix values are usedby the broker across the market names, or non-FOREX markets are used for the EA, the automaticdiscovery may not succeed. With this manual modeenter the full market names including the prefix/suffix as seen in the MT4 Market Watch window tothe EA parameter Market Names.

Example:

1.Scanning only FOREX markets, i.e. currency pairs: select Automatic: SuffixDiscovered By EA

2.Scanning non-FOREX markets, i.e. GOLD, GER30, US30: select Manual: Enter As PartOf Market Name

Note: For more details and examples refer to the EA parameter Market Names.

Market Names

Market Names

List of currency pairs or other market names to scan for RSI trendline cross. Use thespace character to separate the market names in the list.

In typical cases, when the EA is used to scan a number of FOREX pairs, all of the marketnames could have the same broker specific prefix and suffix. For this typical case the EAoffers an automatic prefix and suffix discovery, hence the market names can be enteredwithout the prefix and suffix, e.g. EURUSD GBPUSD USDCHF etc.

For other cases, where the EA is used to scan a mix of non-FOREX and FOREX marketswith varying prefix/suffix values, the suffix handling can be turned to manual, and themarket names are entered as exactly seen in the Market Watch window of the MT4terminal.

Example:

This table provides example configurations for the typical and the other uses casesdescribed above. The prefix/suffix discovery feature is configured by the Market NameSuffix Handling parameter, and the corresponding list of market names is entered in tothe Market Names parameter.

The table assumes a broker which offers FOREX markets with the suffix ecn at the end ofthe market names. Also this broker would have other non-FOREX markets with no suffixin their names: GOLD, GER30 and US30.
