Ichimoku system
-
Hello,
I have designed a pretty standard ichimoku system:
Block 1. No trade/orders exist.
Block 2. Price above cloud (Senkou A).
Block 3. Chikou above price (I'm not sure that if you write in "complete candle" it will take the candle that the Chikou is on top off or it will take the latest candle, any ideas?).
Block 4. Tenkan is above Kinjun.
Block 5. Buy now.
Block 6. Candle close is below Kinjun.
Block 7. Close.
I just can't make it buy... Please HELP!!
I can't share the system atm because I tried different things and shared it too many times, so can't until tomorrow.
Thank you very much.
Regards,Daniel

I can see it anyway. I think the problem is in the left side of block 6 where actually now you compare total size (something that results in value like10, 15, 20) with indicator value. Select Candle Close on the left, this will give you the current Bid price.
There is another problem after thiose Buy and Sell. Read about it here: http://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-wrong-closing-rule
To check if any block passes, place "Draw Arrow" after it and you will see arrows where it passes or no arrows at all if something is not correct inside or above this block.
To check indicators or any other numeric values, use "Indicator tester" block like this: http://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-indicator-tester -
Before I say anything else: this program is amazing man. Really good work!.
Thank you VERY much for your help. I have one last problem with my Chinkou indicator. The chinkou is created 26 periods behind the current price (it is the current price 26 periods behind basically), so if I say "open trade when: chinkou > close candle" it will never open a trade, as it is always = to actual price. How can I do it so that it takes into account the candle that is 26 periods behind? It's something to do with the ID isn't it?
Thank you very very much once again.
Regards,Daniel

This is maybe the only indicator that draws something in the "future". Normally you want to get some value from the current candle or from older candle knowing the candle ID. 0 is the current candle, 1 is the previous one and so on. To get something from the future try negative value for Candle ID, something like -26

Tried that just after i wrote it haha, but ain't working. Thank you very much for your interest. Wasn't expecting so much help at all haha. Don't know if you've ever used this system, but really what you should do is open the trade when chinkou line is above the price range at that point, so it isn't really that it should be above the price at that point, but the whole price range.
I've attached a picture so you see what I mean. The price is ranging between the two red lines I've drawn and I would like it to buy when the purple line (Chinkou) goes over that (as you can see, the purple line is working in the past). Of course that is pretty hard to do I "thinks", so not sure how to go around that. I've tested everything else and if works. It's just this part of the system that is pretty damn hard.
Thanks again.

Aaah this line comes from the past, so candle ID should be at least 26. When I'm looking at this particular indicator I'm like
For the other thing, maybe "Indicator moves within limits" block? I remember that we had a discussion about this block in the past with somebody, you can search for it in the forum. -

That's funny hahaha.I'm now trying the really easy way, but still not working... What the hell am I doing wrong???? Please help!!!
Block 1. No trade/order exists.
Block 2. Candle close > Span line B
Block 3. Candle close > Span line A
Block 4. Buy (just buy 0.1)Block 5. If open trade.
Block 6. Candle close < Span line A
Block 7. Close tradesAny idea why something so simple wont work? It buys and sells at each candle that is created.
Thank you very much!

In above posts it was not buying, now it's buying... what is the exact problem now?
-
It buys and closes at each candle basically
-
Is the problem that trades are closed too early, maybe because the conditions connected before "Close trades" are happen to be all true in a time when "Close trades" must not be executed?
-
Notice that indicators are moving in the current candle, and what to say about Candle Close. it's not impossible to have Close>Indicator at certain time and few seconds later to be Close<Indicator... and Close>Indicator again... and Close<Indicator again and again.

You want to do something like this? http://fxdreema.com/shared/83jLbqm8c
Well, I used MAs here, but the idea is to buy-sell-buy-sell when conditions reverse (in this case when MAs cross). -
That's perfect! Thank you very much. But why is close trades before the buy or sell??
Btw, I have never seen an admin replying so quickly. Thank you very much for the interest.

If you think that this is quickly... I'm not forcing myself to answer as soon as possible lately, I can delay it for hours, but also I don't like to have too many pending questions.
That close trades block will pass anyway, even if there is nothing closed. It's there to clear the Sell before going to Buy and clear the Buy before going to Sell. It's because something should close those trades, they have no SL and no TP. Well, this is the example I give, this is the general example of buy-sell-buy-sell on reverse situations, if you know what I mean.
