Buy/Sell on bar close

[brainios]

First of all hello!

I have been testing a few of my EA's and all seem to have the same issues where the EA trades when the block hasn't closed yet.

On a 5 minute chart that means that 1 block can cause 2 lines (MA's or whatever) to cross numerous times causing false signals yet when the block closes the lines haven't crossed.

Now I used the old FXDreema and I recall you could set the EA to "on block close" but I haven't been able to find anything related to the newer versions (which by the way look very great.)

Any solution to this problem?

By "block" I think you mean "bar" or "candle". Here is about the "on candle close" problem https://fxdreema.com/help/-/working%20w ... e%20closes

Short answer: use "Once per bar". Here is about this block: https://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-once-per-bar

Thanks for the explanation I see now what I did wrong there and decided to test everything on a live demo which gave much better results.

However I tried to do a simple test and the EA is going long perfectly however it does not write the arrow for short.

It is a simple cross to test it and learn the whole system better. It is writing the buy order arrow perfectly however it never shows or registers the arrow (price tag) for short. (No matter how obvious and clear the crossing is)

Edit: I tested more and now it doesn't register a buy cross either, this is on a live demo test. It is completely random right now whether it goes off or not.

Red arrows placed by me, no where did it do anything yet in the corner it says

Golden star is a correct move (don't care about profit, this is a test) Red arrows show where it didn't do anything which were both buy/long.

EURUSD:

Golden star shows correct long, missing short, correct long, missing short, missing long, correct short (it pulled back but the cross was there so the last arrow should have been a star.)

And this is just with a simple 6/22 EMA cross.

When "Once per bar" is at the top, those conditions are checked only once in the first tick of the new bar
