On trade not working correctly

Hi there, I built the same structure in On Tick and On Trade and when using On Trade the counters do not work correctly, some trades are not being counted, I cant seem to find the reason.
I would appreciate your help!
Thanks in advance -
@criptofuture I would just use it where it works then. If it isn't working on 1 section, programmatically or logically it must not be meant for that area.
Perhaps there are specific coded style blocks that work only in that section?

Allegedly they work exactly the same, the thing is that when using On Tick it consumes a lot of resources, for example when backtesting usually 1 year takes 2 hours and a half, now is running 13 hours already and its on the 4th month, so we could assume it will take around 60 hours for the same backtest.

simplest solution, run everything ontick, under a Once Per Bar, under a "Set Current Timeframe" block. Now you have full bar control.

Some months ago I rewrote the code that was responsible for the filtering on those Trade events, and I'm confident that I did a good job, but bugs are always possible. If there is a bug, I would like to fix it, but it's kinda big project. If you think there is a bug, could you make another projec that only contains the blocks needed to show the bug? It should contain maximum 3-4 blocks.

Im having 2 problems, the first one is the one already described, the structure is as simple as 2 blocks. The 2nd one is that I want to take partial profits, what happens is that as soon as the trade is opened, 50% of it is closed. It doesnt wait to reach the "pips away from open price" amount.I appreciate your help!

solution to 1 is probably just do what I suggested. forget doing it OnTrade. Leave it OnTick, and put it under a If Position block. Now you've circumvented the resources argument of that. And for lessening the resources further, you can put it under a once per minute block.
As for the pips problem, the answer is the few MM away from what you selected.

Thank you for taking the time to answer.
I tried what you said "1" and also this "2" But it still doesnt work. 50% of the trade is still being closed as soon as is opened.

The EA trades when there is high volatility, so its important for it to count the trades every tick or as soon as they are closed. In order to do that is vital that it is counted On Trade, since I want to backtest the bot without it taking 60 hours a time. -

Perhaps try not doing it in the "custom (in pips)" and just use the one called Pips?
As for the group numbers, can you troubleshoot and try to do it without group numbers? Just get it to try to count all trades first and see if there is issues. I have always had problems with groups. Too much logic for me to think about because once you introduce groups, you must handle that entirely separate from everything else. It no longer even falls into the "all trades" category.

@tipsywisdom I solved it this way: https://fxdreema.com/shared/QdgMaj4sd
