Ok. I will. Thank you once more.

Why "1" for two candles... you even say the word "two". I think that while I was making this block I was thinking that 1 candle rise should be the difference between MA[0] and MA[1]. Technically we compare 2 MA values here, who belong to 2 different candles, but when you draw the line between them, the line itself has width of 1 candle. This is the yellow difference in levels in the picture below:

So I guess we are thinking differently - you think about how many points are connected, I think about the number of lines. Both ways are in the same time right and wrong 🙂

@hadees said in Trailing Pending Orders problem:

@line try something like this http://icecream.me/a07d25c66ef7e305d092079ad6fe45a5

Thanks for the input, I will try this out.

the plan is when a candle breaks a resistance I want my EA to buy or sell

@vish Thank you

@wessel Well, obviously my system was just too bad to work with real data.

If you want to reliably use OHLC testing (for faster backtesting), design your system in a way it doesn't use very tight stops or fast intra-bar changes. Best practise is to put "once per bar" on top of your project.

The easiest way is to define a variable that increases by 1 when a new candle opens if there is a trade running.

int BarCounter = 0

Once per bar - If trade -> BarCounter = BarCounter+1

You have to reset that variable when there is no trade. My suggestion is to reset it when a new trade opens.

This is just an example

hello...you can try with YouTube like i did.

Are they objects created on chart? Then you may use blocks under "Loop of Chart Objects" to read values

here is the indicator0_1553682477224_Exit Indicator.ex4

Thanks a lot guys. Your response was really useful.

I actually understood the period of candles option in this block incorrectly, I can see my mistake now, thanks a lot for the answers, problem solved 🙂

@fxDreema Thanks for clarifying 🙂
