I have looked at the example for "Buy-Sell-Buy-Sell on opposite conditions" and understand it, however I would like to do something similar but with the option to Close a trade on other conditions prior to the reversal/new trade.

So I would need to check for any trade that's running.

This is my first attempt but it does not work properly.

Can you help me to understand?

Many Thanks

In block 26 it's checked for Buys and Sells. In block 27 you have SL and TP. The sell side does not match the buy side

Thanks fxD,

I had corrected that but since have learned a little more and got it working by keeping Buy Sell sides different under their own 'Once Per Bar'.

I am still a little confused over the Events. The onTick event I am using has the 'Once Per Bar' blocks in them. When does that Block action? On the Close of Bar or Open of next. In other words if I want to use the (most recent) Closed Bar for a Condition will that always be Candle 1 ?

I'm sure it wont be long before I upgrade.

Many Thanks

on Tick = blocks run on every tick.

Once per bar under on Tick = passes once when a new bar is created, on the first tick of the new bar. I tried to explain the problems with the "On Close of Bar" problems here - https://fxdreema.com/help/-/working%20w ... e%20closes

At any time, you can get the value of any candle - open, high, low or close... or even highest and lowest values within some period

Thanks again, I am learning a lot just trying things and testing them.

You mention I can get candle values at any time. How do I do this? Do I have to count back the candles to the one I want or can I just save a price to a variable?

Cheers

Yes. There is this setting called Candle ID. 0 is the current candle, 1 is the previous and so on. Also, candles can be selected by time. You can see that property "Find Candle by". But when possible, find candles by ID.

[saintalan]

Thanks, sometimes it would be easier just to save a price, say CLOSE, I assume I can save that to a variable?

Thanks again

You can save everything in variable, but candles data is available immetiately after the EA is loaded, it's just there and there, it's like fruits in a tree
