Newbie - HA Candles and Stochastic questions

[mrmac2you]

Hi, just joined today and am really liking your product. I'm just wondering about a few things that I cannot find in the help section.
I'm not a coder so apologies if I get the terminology wrong..

1. When using HA candles, is there a way to add a condition that defines that upon a new candle opening, a condition is met if there is no shadow (wick)?

2. When using Stochastic, is there a condition that is met if the Stoch crosses under the 20% line and the D crosses the K? I think I have the 20% line added in my conditions but I am also looking for the D/K cross please?

3. How do I test the EA - I've watched a few videos on YouTube but not seeing how to actually test the EA before adding to my MT4 or maybe I should ask, is there a way to parse the EA whilst I am still building it?
   Thank you

Found a reply in a previous post about the Stochastic cross.
I've seen a few comments about the HA shadow / wick but not seen a solution yet so if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.
Thank you

@mrmac2you Hi mrmac2you and welcome to the forums. On your questions.

1. When a new candle is open no wicks are present, just the first tick defining that new candle. Do you mean maybe the previous candles?

2. There is no way to test the EA in fxDreema itself. You need to download the EA and then install it into your MT4 platform.

I hope it helps.

@l-andorrà Thank you very much, I appreciate you getting back to me.
I think I managed to get my queries all worked out.

I wonder if I could ask a question about the trailing stop and regular stops please?
This is my EA https://fxdreema.com/shared/YjugqN8de and it triggers the trades exactly as I want but the SL is hit almost straight away so wondered how I set the TSL or SL please?
Also using MT4, does FXDreema calculate in micropips / pipettes?

[l'andorrà]

@mrmac2you I guess your SL distance is extremely short. This is why it is hit so quickly. Try a higher distance. On the other hans, AFAIK fxDreema doesn't calculate micorpips.

Thank you @l-andorrà

Hallo,
unfortunately I didnt found a section for stupid newbie questions. I want try it here.
After the first little test "strategies " I made with fxdreema software the EAs doesnt make a trade. The smilie is on but the EA want not to trade after his conditions.
Is this a problem only for the test version or can it be another problem?
Thanks in forward for your help.
