Open trade on previous candle close doesn't work

[mojcika]

Hi everyone

can please someone help me with my EA..?
The idea of the ea is to first look at the first M15 candle at new york open time and opening a trade when on M5 the first candle closes above (buy) or below (sell). If I see it right on my test the trades don't open directly on the M5 close candle... or is it because of spread? I'm not sure if anywhere is set that there is spread in the test... I just want it to open the trade directly when the M5 candle closes above or below the first NY open M15 candle...

Hey, this is the last version;
https://fxdreema.com/shared/qvnJSU4wb

but it doesn't work like it should.. I'm still not sure why it doesnt open directly where the m5 candle closes - I don't know if the spread is considered or what...

Then.. sometimes the ea it doesn't open the trades when it should, sometimes it opens more trades one after another although it should only one per day (when one sell/buy opens it should be the only one for the day) - but when I put in the =once per day= block, then it messes everything up and the trades close right away after opening...

and also the horizontal lines won't disappear after one day is done..
i don't know how to change all this, I tried different things but it didn't work.

Why do you need those lines to be drawn? They are not used later. On the other hand, the pass blocks is unnecessary. You can remove it. Then you need to remove block 8 from its cirrent position. You need to use it immediately below both condition blocks. Otherwise they will not be correctly executed.

Hi,
thanks for your answer. The lines I would really need to have because it's easier on backtesting to look at proper executing and also when live trading.. The lines are for M15 candle..when executing I'm on M5, so it's just really convenient...

The block 8 I put in after I saw that multiple trades where executed sometimes. When during the trading time the first M5 breaks through and opens a sell for example, I don't want the ea to open another sell after the first trade closes (not during one day) - it can open the oposite trade if conditions are met, but not in the same direction... (I want to put in the EMA also, but wanted to do it step by step...

Yeah about the pass block I was not sure and also wanted to add some conditions later so I think there would be something needed at the beginning...

Is the condition ok - "when candle M5 closes.." or should I use something else? When I look at the trades I see that the trades are not opened directly at the same price as the close of the candle.. (I know of course that in real there will be spread and slippage but I thought on the tester it should be exactly at the close?

Thank you... some other idea why it's not working properly?

You connected the sell trades to the yellow output dot of the 'once a day' block. It should be connected to the orange one, like the buys.
