Where are my Pivot lines?
-
I don't know what I'm getting wrong, but I cant have my pivot lines drawn as requested. I want the Pivot lines drawn based on the last H4 candle, at 00:00. This is what I've done so far https://fxdreema.com/shared/ZnIbQmwge. Kindly help!
-
Well, I backtested this EA and I see those lines - 6 pink and 1 green line in the middle, and they change their position from time to time
-
You're absolutely right! I've figured that out. However, I've tried my best to use these pivot lines for trades. These pivot lines were not recognised or picked by the EA!; the "Sell now" command just triggers with the open price, contrary to what was set in the EA, and SL and TP are also not recognised as instructed. Is there something I'm getting wrong? Please take a look https://fxdreema.com/shared/0XV7QfZnd. A kind help will very much be appreciated.

There is a problem in block 24. Remember, NEVER use == to compare price values. Ask and Bid prices jump and skip values all the time. Use anything else, but not ==
-
I don't know what I've done or what I'm doing wrong! I've changed the == sign as instructed to x>; still the trades just trigger without recognizing the set conditions, nor SL and TP values. I've even changed to ask the EA to pick the lines as "Object on the chart", but trades just trigger on initiation. If I were right in making the EA calculate and draw these pivot lines visibly on the chart, I can't figure out why the EA cannot use the same lines for trades! https://fxdreema.com/shared/AzEdLnuJc.

I have no idea what this project is supposed to do. I see multiple Formula blocks, and they are all inactive, because they are not connected to anything. Are they supposed to be used? If we look in their properties - total mess. The same Variable used for different kind of parameters. There is no idea in this, you tried something just like that, only with empty hope that something would work.
The same I can see in those "Draw Line" blocks. Let's take block 17 for example. Variable named "PIVOT" is used in it... for Pivot Point Mode and for Candle ID. Why? Those parameters are totally different.
Block 24. You work under "on Tick" if this block becomes true, it will probably stay true for a while, for multiple ticks. The result would be multiple trades.
I think you have wrong idea for how to use fxDreema
What can I say about this... -
I'm so sorry for the mess. Please pardon my ignorance; believe me, I"m trying so hard, I'll get there! About what the EA is intended to do, this EA is supposed to define pivot, S1, S2, S3, R1, R2, and R3 lines based on the last H4 candle of EURUSD, and draw same lines on the chart. This was what I tried to do with the formula blocks (I don't know if I got them). When price reaches (touches) R1, the EA is supposed to SELL with TP at Pivot line and SL at R2, all Pivot, R1 and R2 having been previously defined by the EA. That's simple. I have tried to modify the formula blocks to see if i get better results; unfortunately same results of multiple trades. https://fxdreema.com/shared/BepaUKQ8. Thank you for your help so far!

But all those Formula blocks are inactive, it's like they are not there at all. (Now I got the idea to make such blocks transparent)
There is already option to get pivot point values, somewhere in Condition -> Market properties. If not, some custom indicator can be used and you will even see the values on the chart, which is always good, more control.
-
Thank you! I saw the "Market properties - Pivot points" but the Mode is only one "H+L+C/3". I thought this only calculates Pivot point. If I specify other values like S1, R1,..... there is only one Mode "H+L+C/3" to choose. Do I take it that these other values of S and R are automatically calculated, even when Mode "H+L+C/3" is selected? If not, how do I specify the formula (2 x Pivot) - High, for example, for S1 value?, and another formula for other R and S values?
-
Only one mode, are you sure? http://prntscr.com/d64j0s
-
OK, I've seen the others. But the other options DO NOT specify my calculations for the S and R lines. I'm sorry, I don't mean to bother; kindly tell me how to specify other calculations of pivots, or how the pivot lines could be "seen" and selected for trade triggers, Stop loss and Take profit. For example, I would want to start a Sell trade when the price TOUCHES R1 from below; TP is Pivot price while SL is R2.

This option in Condition block was added by me, I made some custom function to calculate these values. I told you, normally people use custom indicators. But I was asked multiple times for Pivot lines, so I added this option. This option is NOT an indicator. When you select say "H+L+C/3", then you get "H+L+C/3". This is (High+Low+Close)/3. No lines are printed, nothing like this. Only the value is calculated and if you do this for example on the right side in "Condition", then the right side of "Condition" equals to "H+L+C/3". You can still use something else in the left side of the same "Condition", or in other block.
