Closing trade when candle closes below MA not when it ...

[fiftybillion]

Hi, I am having trouble with closing a trade when candle closes below certain MA. The problem is that the EA closes the position when the price CROSSES the MA and not on the close. If the price keeps on trending I lose out on the trade but I want it to make it so that it closes the trade ONLY when the candle CLOSES below the MA. How can I do this?

This is only for Long trades.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you so much for this!
Cheers,

Ken

I was able to do filter out by using time filter for this.

I will keep experimenting.

Thanks

I added onceperbar filter to allow the EA to only check it at the opening of a new candle but sometimes when the opening candle is below the MA it is closes it self.

Please take a look at picture.

The position was opened at A and the EA should hold the position until the candle closes below the MA which is C but somehow the EA closes the position at B where the opening of the candle was below the MA.

The exist program is written like this.
if trade is running ---> once per bar ---->condition(when the candle is below MA) ----->close each profitable trade.

What can I do so the EA don't exit at such location. Thanks

ok, i got it to work using another block called every n seconds but I am always looking for better ways of doing things.

The problem is that when block 1 is executed it leads to creating a new trade because of the Buy now block at the end, but then block is executed, which is now true, and it reaches block 18 (Once per bar). But this "Once per bar" is second one and it works independently from the other one, and as a result in one shot you reach to blocks 2 and 5. I'm not sure if there can be situation where both conditions can be true... but anyways. You can use one "Once per bar", maybe on the top, and remove 18,19,20 and 21. Then connect the yellow output of 1 to 5. I didn't tested that and I'm not 100% sure that it's working, but It sounds better to me.

Hi, thank you for your advice.

I modified the block but unfortunately it did not work

I want to mention that I prefer to answer small questions rather than building whole projects...
So... to see what is going on, I use "Draw arrow" block - connect it after some block and you will se where is this block passing (many arrows will be drawn).
I created block "Logic points tester" for that reason actually, so it can be used as well. I only found myself using "Draw arrow", but it's a personal preference.
To see values in realtime - "Levels tester..." block is good.

By the way I meant connection 1 to 5, not 23 to 5 Now what you have is... maybe the same as before with less blocks.
