Not sure this is a bug, buy buy/sell arrows don't work

[l'andorrà]

This is weird. Can someone please confirm that blu and red arrows showing open/close trade prices are fully functional in MQ5? I created an EA for MT5 and none of them are visible on any trade! I'm using the standard buy/sell position blocks and I can confirm both colours are selected in theuir respective blocks.

Am I the only one?

@l-andorrà ... Where is the indicator?

[l'andorrà]

@alphaomega I'm not using any indicator. I'm talking about the red and blue arrows indicating the exact price at which a tre is open and closed. They are not plotted on the chart!!! But maybe the weirdest thing is that they do appear when backtesting!!!

Am I the only one experiencing this?

[AlphaOmega]

@l-andorrà Are you talking about these little arrows?

[l'andorrà]

@alphaomega Yes, can you see them on a demo account? I see them when backtesting but not on a demo account. And you?

[AlphaOmega]

@l-andorrà... sorry brother I never use a demo account .. wont know... Sorry...... There is a setting in tools maybe you did not tick it? Are you using a VPS? It is showing in my real account.

[l'andorrà]

@alphaomega No, I'm not using a VPS and all arrow setting are offered by default. And I didn't modify them. This is really weird.

@l-andorrà Am I the only one experiencing this?

[AlphaOmega]

@l-andorrà why is this so important?... What difference does it make to your ea performance? I am just being curious.

[l'andorrà]

@alphaomega It is important because I'm finding bug after bug in MQ5. Please look at my other 2 threads in this bug forum. Something serious is happenning to MQ5 in fxDReema.

[AlphaOmega]

@l-andorrà Yes! I get you concerning the bugs and agree with you... the bugs was not there before?. I thought you were building something with that blue and red little arrows, that's why I was asking why it so important .. lol

@l-andorrà
i think the mq5 code behind the blocks buy and sell must be changed. Buy code must be put to sell block and sell code to buy block. I solved the problem by switching the blocks and changing the text of the block. It iss working now on MT5.
Ok my buy block is red and my sell block is green, but it doesn't matters. I'm happy it`s working now. Tryed some days and nights... but finally it's working

I have found that in backtest, that trade will not fully appear until the next trade has opened. Not sure where the bug would be

@greenplanet I hope the admin can read this. Thank you.

After some days and nights of testing, i have to correct my last post.
I think the problem was the "one tick" option i choosed. Together with some turn off and turn on blocks i got an opposite signal. The code is correct of the blocks. I have to appologies I was wrong.
Today I copied my setup to "on init" and it seems to work correctly.

@greenplanet Good to know. Thanks for sharing.
