Correcto.

@drayzen yes i forgot about m1. I saw the share from miro.thank you.......

@josecortesllobat ok, si bueno era por aprovechar todo el trabajo ya realizado con alphadvisor.
resulta que ahora lo han cambiado a pago y fue una jugada

@fxdreema

The thing is that there are ticks... there are no deals, but as I understand MT5 considers a "tick" as anything that changes the bid/ask spread or the last deal in the market. So in circuit breakers we see changes in bid/ask, but without any deals, just by placement and cancellations of orders on the order book.... so it's quite different from Forex, where brokers make their own bid/ask spread and decide when it's time to change it.

The mess gets really ugly on the CFDs, that trade through the broker's own bid/ask, but are arbitraged by the broker's market markers on the centralised markets. So when there is a circuit breaker on the exchange where, let's say Apple stocks are traded, the Apple CFDs will get REAAAAALY ugly...

Anyways, thanks for the help.

There is no block to change this value, because the value is an input parameter and in my opinion it is not supposed to be modified in the EA. Actually if you try this trick in MQL5 you will get an error message.

In the EA, in all trading blocks you can find this Group parameter. If you want to somehow have 2 or more strategies in the same EA, you can try do it with this parameter.

Pending orders are sent to the broker and the broker is responsible to trigger them and turn them into running orders. In the time between PENDING ORDER and START BUY the EA doesn't even need to work. If you are asking why your orders are not triggered in the next candle after PENDING ORDER... I don't know really. Does this happen with manually created pending orders?

I know for sure that there was a bug that caused these big numbers and few months ago I fixed it... or at least I believe so. But who knows, maybe there is another bug or I didn't fully fixed it.

Otherwise block numbers doesn't matter much. If you want to use the number of particular block in let's say "Turn ON blocks", then mu suggestion is to give that block a custom number that is not a number. Yes, block numbers can contain letters, so you can have block numbers such as a or b or MyBlock1 or something that means something in the strategy, but better don't use fancy symbols. I think I have a report that in some situation empty space causes a problem, so use _ instead of empty space for now.

But why using variables for that. The idea of this Group number is to have 2 or more different strategies in the same EA and normally these values are written in the blocks directly, because you know which block is for which strategy.

Block names doesn't matter. At some point I plan to rename the word "position" with "trade" for MT5.

Your MT5 account should be opened with this checked:
0_1528204153847_03f0bb20-ac08-4797-9ca1-43de3b9070fe-image.png

... otherwise it is working in Netting mode, which means that you can only have 1 position per symbol. This is something that can explain immediately closed trades, because if you Buy and then Sell the same lot size, the result is that the initial Buy position is closed.

If your MT5 account is in Hedge mode, then the problem could be because of some bug that I am not aware of. In this case I want to investigate the problem, so if you have some relatively simple example that shows the problem, give it to me 🙂

This is a problem that I don't know how to fully solve 🙂

I can help you best:
based on experience: it is lossable strategy 😄

Hi @miro1360 I have no idea why it worked but your suggestion of putting all formula blocks one after another seems to have worked. Thanks for your help.

I'll try. Thanks.

Thank you very much for your reply. I really appreciate it as there's not a lot of help on here.

Your suggestion makes sense. I'll give it a go and see if I can get it to work.

@fxdreema Aha Thanks alot

@josecortesllobat Yes it's okay.Thank you......

So, the EA would try to open the requested lot size, but I made it in a way to open the closest possible lot size instead of giving error messages. So I guess that for your broker the minimum lot size is 0.1, the EA detected that and opened 0.1 lots.

Do you actually have the .ex4 file? The only reasons for the "Start" button to not work that I know is that the file is broken or missing. Can MetaTrader read the file is my question

I decided to rewrite the function that creates and removes the virtual stops. I tried few variants and I can't decide which is the best one. The one that is the best logically and allows for less possible problems is unfortunately very slow when backtesting. So I think I will use this variant, but when testing the EA will turn off Virtual Stops and will work with normal stops instead. This is actually the case now when optimizing, because the Tester doesn't work with objects (horizontal lines...) when optimizing.

So, if you backtest the strategy, will you get the Buy trade at that place again?
