Help with set "Current Market"
-
Okay, after digging here and there on many threads before about this block i started to understand how to use it. I did build my EA and completely backtest it on single pair and it runs.
But, this EA is intended to run on many pairs even only attached to one chart. I have written on the input menu all the symbols that i want this EA to run. But, after a week of testing, no trade are taken at all.
The condition for my strategy based on Gap and Go, which only trade if a symbol is gapping up or down more than 4%. Even last week is a hot week on stock market, but this EA didn't open any trade (Ps. I only use this EA to trade on stock market).Could someone please correct me if i was using the block in the wrong position or something that made the EA didn't work as i expect.
Here's the project https://fxdreema.com/shared/k61SHjmteRegards,

Try to make a simple version of the EA with least no of blocks so that it will be easier to isolate the issue. Also, it will be much easier for anyone to have a look at your project as it wouldn't take much time to understand the project.

@everjn17 Can you please confir all those 'MarketlistX' constants are of a string type? Otherwise, they will not work.

@everjn17 sometimes going through the error log of mt4 can help a lot

Hi' Yes, it's string type and if i tried to put a symbol that not on the marketwatch it will give a feedback saying "This symbol XXX aren't in the marketwatch so it'll be removed from process"

@zackry That's the problem, there are nothing related to the EA shown in the Journal tab except a notification when it's successfully loaded to the chart.

@everjn17 i am not sure , but i never looked for the errors in the journal tab , so maybe try the expert tab : because i always find errors in the expert tab :
maybe both experts and journal show the error logs , but i never cared much about it , because in most cases fxDreema prints a message in the experts tab which is very useful to understand whats going on inside the EA itselfsecondly you might wanna simplify your project, and use the comment block after each significant block to see where exactly is the execution messing up , once you pick up the block which is causing the issue then you will be able to resolve the issue easily
but more importantly , simplify the project to the bare minimum blocks so we can understand your project otherwise its gonna be tough to help you out....i would suggest create a new project and only use the blocks related to your problem in this new project and get rid of all other blocks like "Formula TP" "Formula SL" "TP" "SL" Trailing etc.....and then shhare the new project here so e can understand better , once the problem is solved then you can use the solution into your main project

@zackry Sadly, there's no clue same as Journal tab. On my Expert tabs it only prints when the EA initialized and EA settings.
Okay i did simplify the project before and try just to print some log message, it did print that tho, but only on the current chart symbol.
I'll re-run the EA with only Log Message output but i need live data from US market first. So maybe gonna give some update on monday. -
Okay @Zackry, i did try to just print a Log Message that contains the market symbol under once per bar block and i can confirm the block is working. It prints each symbol that i listed on the marketlist input.
So, the problem right now is maybe something on my project not on the block or how i use the block -
@everjn17 I recommend you to 'dissect' your EA in smaller parts and test them separatedly. It's a long and frustrating process, but required to find the origin of the problem.
-
@everjn17 I agree with @l-andorrà use fewer blocks , and with each block use a comment block so you can know on which block the EA is stopping the execution
