Help with my Project Logic: EA doesn't activate any trades on mt5 backtest
-
Hey Everyone, I am just getting started with FXdreema and I put my EA in MT5. Forgive me if this is a simple fix, but I can't seem to find the answer for it.
I made a quick project and tried to backtest it in MT5, but when I did, it did not trigger any trades to open. So I wonder what is wrong my logic. See the image below. I have everything inside of "on timer" because I wanted it to enter a trade on eur/usd and gbp/usd at exactly 2:59:59 AM EST on days that are a weekday. You can see both of those time filters below. The rest are things that should trigger after the trade has started, but the issue is that it wont even enter trades so it has to be the time filters.
I've seen other people share their flow chart and you can actually see all the variables, can someone tell me how I can do that? That way I can get help the fastest. Thank you in advance to anybodies help, I really appreciate it.

Pink blocks should be in a separate tree, in another tree put if trade - breakeven, put a no trade above your buy block to prevent multiple pointless trades
-
where is the if trade variable? I searched for it but dont see it.
-
It's if position on MT5
-
Ok I added the changes. Do you think this will work?
-
this on the "ON TIMER" event by the way
-
Possibly, add a shared link to look at, I rarely use anything on the timer event, I would run it on tick to backtest with first.
-
Here you go
-
Looks like it should work, what is it doing?
-
I tried it on both "On Tiimer" and "ON Tick" and theyre not working. I try to test them in mt5 and it does the simulation but it doesnt execute any trades. Maybe download it and try it for yourself cause I have no idea.
Maybe this will help you figure it out? This is the settings I'm using for the backtest in mt5

Try remove the If Position Block. This block seems tricky. Use the false output of No Trade if you really need this function
-
@Pocro i checked your project and returned some error like these
and i can say there are some issues when we put more than one symbol inside blocks
you can leave empty that field, or use "set current market for next block"
Furthermore it should be reported to the administrator -
It will probably work if you use quotation marks "EURUSD","GBPUSD"
-
already tried jstap, i don't know why. Also putting a constant string with more symbols doesn't work
-
@sktsec So your saying for this whole right branch of actions, I should replace "if position" with "no trade" set to false?
-
@ambrogio your saying to leave "symbol" empty? How would It know the pairs I want to trade. And by Admin you mean the dev of fxdreema?
-
Hey Everyone, I added what you all said except the quotations around the symbols as @jstap said. But I am using "no trade: false" variable now and just testing it only one symbol, eurusd. I tested it on mt5 and it seems to now execute trades, so that's good. Problem is now the bot is immediately entering a new trade as soon as it his the previous trades SL. How do I set it up so it just does one trade a day?
Additonally, was the whole issue just that I had two pairs in the symbol field? You should be able to do two at once right? is that just a bug with fxdreema or I am missing the logic? For now I am just going to play around with one pair if it works, but I do want to get to the bottom of that issue.
Also just some general qs about MT5: You can only backtest one pair at a time correct? And you can only have one EA per chart? If so, I guess I could build two versions of this EA, one for each chart. Hopefully someone can tell me the easiest setup for all these questions to be addressed.
Here is the updated share link, download it and test it to let me know
