Stop Loss blocking

[kiwi789]

Hello friends.

My setup is to be able to stop several trades if there are a number of trades (2 pieces) that have a Stop Loss that is greater than a specified value (400 pips).

I have an EA which changes S.L. according to a system when several trades are made.

In this setup, the "Buy now" blocks have ID: gr1, gr2, gr3, gr4 and gr5. (so they don't get a new number when you run "Normalize IDs")

The block "Check trades count" writes: "This block calculates the number of trades matching the filter settings"
As a filter I use the block: "check stop-loss" (> 400 pips)

"Check trades count" reacts to number of trades (>= 2), whether "check stop-loss" is connected or not, and it works.
I have also tried with: "check stop-loss / Function value".
It does not work.

Can anyone see what is wrong and how to fix the problem.

How can I share my EA. It doesn't seem to work with the link that was created.

Not sure I fully understand. Are you trying to control come trades created by another bot to open then some more with this one?

I try to explain it simply.

Everything takes place in the same EA.
If all the ongoing trades have Stop Loss < 400 pips, then it must make more trades.
If there are 2 (or more) traders who have S.L. > 400 pips, then it must NOT make any more trades.

@kiwi789 Ok. Just let me confirm I get it with some examples.

1. If there is one only trade no matter where the SL is, there will be more trades.
2. If there are 2 open trades and BOTH SL distances are beyond 400 pips, no more trades are open. However, if one of them has a SL shorter that 400 pips, more trades are open.

Is that correct?

Hi I'andorra.

Sorry for not replying sooner, but I've been away from it for a bit.

I think it is correctly understood, but I have added some changes (YOU CANNOT WRITE IN COLOR, SO MY CHANGES ARE WRITTEN IN CAPITAL LETTERS) that I think make it more accurate.
(My main language is Danish, not English, so perhaps these are redundant corrections)

1. If there is one only trade no matter where the SL is, there will be more trades.
2. If there are 2 OR MORE open trades and 2 SL distances are beyond 400 pips, MUST IT NOT OPEN MORE TRADES. However, if ONLY one of them has a SL shorter that 400 pips, MUST more trades open.

Still I don't understand why it doesn't block further trades. Maybe you can see what's wrong with the setup.

Your current configuration is not counting the trades correctly. You should use a specific variable counting how many trades are having a SL right now with those distances. That would make it far easier.

I would think that the "check stop-loss" block should count how many trades meet the requirements (S.L. > 400) It doesn't seem to work.
Would you like to explain in a little more detail what you think I should do.
Maybe with a block example.
