I've managed to sort it. Used a condition block instead of a flags block. Im guessing the flags block just checks flags that are set by a set block.

It's annoying. When accessing deals and writing to csv I only seem to get DEAL_ENTRY_OUT deals when using the custom mql block in onTrade(). When I manually put the code into ontradeTransaction() it works fine. This is after making sure I use HistorySelect first.

FYI that code was generated by chatGPT.

Thanks @jstap . I have managed to get it to work by manually adding some code to the OnTradeTransaction() event function after fxdreema has generated its code. Is there a way of specifying the OnTradeTransaction function from fxdreema?/ I thought maybe it would be possible using a custom function but I'm not familiar with that part of fxdreema yet.

Thanks for the help everyone. I'm using the custom mql code block as I can code a little. I'm trying to output all deals (ENTRY_IN and ENTRY_OUT) and eventually I will be logging the indicator values at time of entry and exit.

At the moment it is only logging DEAL_ENTRY_OUT deals. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? The code is a follows and under On trade.

//===========================================

// static variable to track last logged deal
static ulong last_logged_deal = 0;

// get total number of deals
int total_deals = HistoryDealsTotal();

    return;

// get the latest deal ticket
ulong deal_ticket = HistoryDealGetTicket(total_deals - 1);
if(deal_ticket == 0)
    return;

// avoid logging the same deal twice
if(deal_ticket == last_logged_deal)
    return;

last_logged_deal = deal_ticket;

// select the deal
if(!HistoryDealSelect(deal_ticket))
    return;

Great, I’ll look into it. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to create a csv file in OnInit() and not having much luck. It's a basic as it gets atm but it doesn't seem to be generating the code in the mq5 file. Any ideas?

I've managed to sort it. Used a condition block instead of a flags block. Im guessing the flags block just checks flags that are set by a set block.

@jstap Hmm, OK. I set up a constant called use_regime as an input variable. I intended for the user to be able to set either true or false before running the EA. I'm guessing I haven't done that correctly? I selected the constant in the logic block, what am I doing wrong?

Hi everyone,

Newbie to fxdreema here. Getting to grips with the blocks etc and trying to build and replicate some existing strategies I have coded myself.

I was trying to implement a custom indicator and in doing so used a logic block. Very simple test....if true then use custom indicator and buy, if false sell.

When I run it it sells all the time regardless of how the flag is set. What am I doing wrong?

Fantastic, thankyou
