@sulyayub Your shared link isn't showing, there is a few ways you can do this, if it's a line you can make the ea react on contact but depending on how the line is drawn changes how you would do this. The way I would do is at 15:00 save the price level into a variable, then use a condition with something like at 16:00 current price is above the price in the saved variable, then your buy/sell

Do you mean that crossing is supposed to happen any time from 16:00 to 17:00 or maybe that it happens exactly at 16:00?

@jstap Hi, thanks for replying. So all im trying to do is, as soon as the 1600 candle open, if it breaks below the 15:00 candle low first then i would like a sell to take place. If the 1600 opens and breaks the high first of the 1500 candle then id like a buy to take place.

@l-andorrà no sir, what i mean is when the 1600 candle opens, which either way it goes first up or down, if it goes down to break the low of the 1500 including wick then id like to sell. if the candle goes up and breaks the high of the 1500 including wick then id like a buy to take place. https://fxdreema.com/shared/Nyk73RUbc

@sulyayub In HERE see how to do this. Candle 0 is current, candle 1 is one before and so on.

hi @jstap thanks for doing that. Now its only buying not selling at all. the robot is coming in with 100% with no losses on the back test from 2021 March till present. For some odd reason its not selling its just buying. Anyways I deleted the sell option and will try to set up another robot just for selling. I used the same EA settings you created for me, it works in buys but not in sell, would you know why? thanks for all your help dude

@sulyayub Your welcome, try this link probably because the trees were sharing the no trade block, I also put 2 bool conditions in so, you can turn on/off either in EA inputs.

[sulyayub]

thanks dude, your very helpful. its still not working, im gona mess around with it a bit more if there is no luck i might just give the EA robot idea up lol

@jstap I never use that orange 'condition' block. Just by typing 'BUY' what is it supposed to do exactly?

[jstap]

@l-andorrà It basically just does an if statement, if bool input (constant or variable) BUY = true then pass, if false don't pass. Is just like using a standard condition block but only having to use one word.

@sulyayub Ok if you still struggle, put the updated project on here and I'll take a look.
