EA not taking trades
-
I built this test EA, and for some reason it is not taking trades. I have read through the forums and watched the videos, but for the life of me cannot understand what is wrong. This is the logic: It should open a trade if the condition exists and no other trades are open. Now, lets say a BUY trade is open. If it meets the conditions for a sell trade, it should close the Buy trade and open a Sell trade. Same for the opposite. Also, I want to include the indicator arrows, but not every time because it will draw consecutive buys and sells. I want them to only draw one buy arrow. The next arrow should be a sell. I did read at this link Arrow Variable that it is possible to use a variable to only allow the arrow to draw if it is the first one, but don't understant the variable part. Link to Project

It doesn't work because you are mixing the opening conditions with the closing conditions in the same block tree. You need to separate them completely. Your opening tree should end with a buy/sell now block at the bottom. No more blocks below.
Then your closing tree should be headed by a 'For each trade' block and ended by a 'close trades' at the bottom. No more blocks below.

Thank you for the input. I will make the modifications when I get time.
