Data Structures: IndicatorData, TickData, Trades, MessagesToMT4, MessagesFromMT4

Task: Run algorunner tr log sim strategy

• Collect data for ticks OHLC Consider the time element for the data points
• Collect data for indicators
• Impl strategy, searching for favouring opportunities
• Calculate Trade parameters for trades: lot size, SL, TP
• Monitor positions and Close if targets are reached.
• Create records of trades over time.

Do we have the data elements be in terms of time? Important consideration, given that each struct is meant to represent a certain scope of time. And this would also be the layout on any DB. o

Defining the structure of the project: Data Structures

1. Tick Data: OHLC data for tick
2. Rates Data: bid and ask prices
3. Indicator Data: data for indicator/indicators..
4. zmq Connection Data: Ports, and port types /// account balance / /// active trades /// trade margins /// test indicator /// find trading trend /// subscribe to symbol /// place trade

Project focuses on calculating parameters for trades I would enter over time. SHOULD WORK ON BOTH LINUX AND WINDOWS

1. User provides a currency pair(string)
2. Program to fetch data on the currency pair to calculate(requires connecting to a platform, whichever that may be)
3. Program calculates basic parameter values for a feasible trade to enter for the currency ie. current price point, pips to a TP, pips to an SL,
4. Provide the calculated value to the user on the terminal

1. Include altering the values to be used during the calculation, percentage risk to use, lot size to use

1. GUI

Calculation of Lot Sizes Calculatoin of Stop Losses and Take Profits

To work on both UNIX and Windows Systems

Create new trades on whichever platform that is ultimately going to be connected to the calculator

Notifications on Price Hits? Reporting on trades? Capture data from external sources ie. price values? News events?

[] Proper note taking on Obsidian, so ideas can be linked.

1. Determine the aspects to connect to? Do we have a Windows server running the MT5 application? Options for setting up the server.
2. Configure the design architecture for the program Based on functionality- Calculator, Incoming data(from user) Outgoing data(from user) Form of display: tui, gui, Incoming data(fetched from external sources) Outgoing data(fetched from external sources)
