New to FxDreema need help hope you have time for many questions

[Deadllee]

Hi All,

I'm ultra new to trading robots and what not and not very experienced with coding I'm loving this site and what it has to offer but need to get my head around things and rules and how it all works I can read the instructions a million times it still not 100% clear to me. I'll get there I hope with your help hopefully one day I'll be able to help out others.

The current EA I'm trying to build is

Buy every candle that closes above below conations and Sell when the opposite is true

Check Daily for Price to close Above "X" EMA
Check 4h "X" EMA above "X" EMA
and Current (1h) to check above "X" EMA
Buy now ATR *1.5 with TP $150

Buys seam to work fine but it just doesn't make any short trades.

Any insights ?

Cheers
Deadllee

@deadllee Ok. Let's move step by step. Blocks 3 and 8 are wrongly set. You are comparing pips on the left with a price level on the right. The block simply can't solve that calculation correctly because you are comparing pears with apples.

According to your initial description what you want is (for a buy) that yesterday daily candle's close is 8 pips ABOVE 8 EMA. Is that correct?

If this makes any sense i hope it dose

so i want to check that the daily is in a up trend

8EMA on the Daily
on the 4h i want to make sure that is also pointing up
then on the 1h i want to go long on every bull candle till the EMAS swap direction

do i need to put a no trade at the start of each block?

@deadllee Before moving forward, some more detailed info would be appreciated. We human tradesrs see clearly when a trend is upward, but the EA need precise and concrete instructions to execute. We should define first when something is 'up trend' and 'pointing up'.

What about the following:

1. Something is uptrend when in daily when candle ID 1 is bullish and its close is above 8EMA.
2. Something is pointing up when its value for candle ID 1 is higher than for candle ID 2.

What do you think?

That makes a lot of sense I'll add them to the conditions. like the EA seamed to run the long block fine but it never made any shorts. even though the conditions were complete opposite
