"For each closed position" block doesn't loop trades as specified

[Lerumo]

Hi all. The abovesaid block - which I understand is meant to work as a loop - only performs the required action once and then stops altogether i.e. I want it to place "sell pending orders in grid" every two buy positions closed; and "buy pending orders in grid" every two sell positions closed. What changes should I make? See below a snap and the link. Thanks

Do you mean waiting for the last two sell trades to be closed and then a new buy grid to be programmed? That 'once per positions' block doesn't help. You should use a boolean variable instead controlling that grid happened and then waiting for two more sells to be closed to allow the new grid.

[Lerumo]

Yes, that's precisely what I mean. I tried it first without the 'once per positions' block, but this caused it to uncontrollably place unwanted grids with every tick. How do I go about using the boolean variable as you suggest (haven't used it before)?

Would this work?

You need a no position/order block on top, so this restricts new trades opening

[Lerumo]

With the 'no position' or 'no position/order' blocks on top, it doesn't place the new grids at all (unless the boolean settings are incorrect?). I have also tried restricting the 'no position/order' blocks to 'sells' in the case of buy grids, and 'buys' in the case of the sell grids. See link (https://fxdreema.com/shared/KEtKkOe4b) and snaps below

This will only work if there's no existing trade, if there is you will need to use groups or another way to restrict trade.

See edits to above reply - any further comments/observations? Also, I notice that it doesn't work on the "On trade" tab - how can I get it to work here, since this is not based on ticks?

Hello @ambrogio - do you have any insights/thoughts on the above issue?

[ambrogio]

i think .... create a variable eg.: countbuy, then in "on trade" section > trade closed buy > modify variable countbuy +1
then in "on tick" put a condition countbuy==2 > no sell pending order > sell pending order

[ambrogio]

Reset variable

[Lerumo]

Is this correct? - https://fxdreema.com/shared/2uffZWHX

[ambrogio]

not a constant, a variable. But only now i see you want like a loop. This way should work

[Lerumo]

@ambrogio Thanks a lot - I also tried another way (pic below, in the "on trade" tab) and both work! Keep well

@Lerumo you're welcome!
