i think i find answer
is it true?
string time = 00:00;
?
Thanks

@amri19rosz You need to disciminate first between buys and sells and then trail the stop loss from the buys and at the same time trail the take profit from the sells (or viceversa)

@Dieter If you go to project options you will find it as an imput parameter (sort of) 0_1505496952159_magicnumber.jpg

I can understand you, since I also have very big problems with the Magic + the groups .... horror! 😥

@timmyhanke
thanks a lot timmy

when it repaints, it is not very good for EA because you dont know when signal is confirmed, it can be 1 candle, it can be 4 candle 😄

Nevermind. Figured out the problem; account balance was too small for the trade sizes the EA needed to place. Instead it put on whatever it could with the margin left.

Cheers Everybody.

Hi,
can you check "Phone Notification" pls?
There is the same problem... (01.01.1970).
Thanks a lot

both of them returns 01.01.1970

Yes, I would advise to translate the comission to pips and add it always as an offset. With a (maximum) leverage of 500 to 1, 7 dollars per lot would mean roughly an offset of 7 ticks but with different leverage it will change so you'll have to do the math.

MetaTrader somehow knows the data from other timeframes. I don't know how acurate is this, but in general you can get the indicator value from M1 and H1 for example. You can also do that for different Symbol, but in MT4 you cannot backtest multiple symbols, this is some limitation of the Tester.

Well, there is no easy way to get the previous running or closed trade. Normally you can use either "For each Trade" or "For each Closed Trade" (with the "Not more than..." parameter set to 1) and as you can see these blocks are separate. But I don't remember someone asking me to find the latest running-or-closed trade, so I think it should be possible to do what you want to do in alternative, or probably better way. What do you want to do?

In this case I'm not exactly sure how the crossover works when you have Bid on one side and value on the other. Those are 2 values. For the "Bid" price, I extended it a little bit, so it collects and keeps Bid prices from few candles in the past, but now I'm not 100% sure that this functionality is working, I didn't checked it for months. But how do you imagine this crossover?

I have another blocks, those 2 blocks on the bottom of the Conditions for Indicators category. Those are more suited for when the price shoud cross something.

Otherwise sometimes I use "Candle Close" instead of Bid. The idea is that when crossover is used in Condition, then 2 values are used - from the current candle and from the previous candle. This make two Candle Close values. The current Close value is normally the Bid price (if the candle is 0) and the previous value is just a past Bid price.

If you never set the Group number in any block, then the magic number of each trade or order is the value of the input parameter called MagicStart. There are also ways to get the magic number of a trade, with "For each Trade" and then find the Magic Number the pink (in loop) option in Condition block.

I guess that the lower picture shows the inputs of some custom indicator. Those colors are set in the code of that indicator, but they are something different than objects... I mean, nothing about the "Object..." functions. Yes, the output is probably some line, some arrows, but MetaTrader has it's own way of printing those objects on the chart. But if you try to find them in the list of object, you will find nothing.

You want to "connect" particular pending order with horizontal line? What if you put 2 or more lines? I don't understand why you want to remove the whole order when the lines moves... removing something when moving something else is not very logical in my opinion 🙂

You are asking for strategy tester? 🙂 Who will do that and why 🙂

Unfortunately this is true. Indicators are slowing the process and also EAs generated with an EA builder are normally bulk and heavy. But you know, it also depends on the logic itself. To make things faster, try to Not run some blocks all the time if this is not necesarry. This depends on the strategy of course. For example you can put "Once per bar" somewhere where you don't really need something to work on every tick and the result will be the same if it runs once per bar.

EAs are slow on backtesting, because certain functions are running again and again, millions of times. There are many ticks to be backtested, and that's why everything is slow as a whole. But if you imagine that you only have 1 tick, then everything is ultra fast.

What line?

Thank you so much. so many times of looking and kept missing it!
