@fxDreema Thanks for explaining! I now see that I had interpreted the add volume wrong and that it won't lead to what I am trying to do here

@roar thanks very much for your explanation, that actually helped a lot. I am still not getting the results I want, but now I do think it's achievable, so I'm back to the drawing board with this. Thanks again!

Thank you @jstap !

Thank you, I will try that out! @Dore

Hi everyone,

I am trying to get the following to work:

When a button on the chart is pressed, it should change color. When it is not pressed, it should have it's original color.
At this moment, when I press the button, nothing happens to the colour at all and I am still stuck at part one of what I want it to do, namely change colour when it is pressed.

In this example I have no "pass" button connected to the on chart blocks, but i found that the results were the same.
I spent time browsing through the tutorials, but obviously I am missing something.

Other things I tried were:
I tried creating a block with "mouse clicked on object" but then I run into the problem that the conditions that you can put under there
[object on the chart] - only has button state pressed/depressed and not either/or pressed.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for reading!

omg L'andorra, I have been wracking my brain as to why it wouldn't work and now it does! Thank you so so much!

Hello fxdreema fans,

I am trying to create an expert that will set my take profit for me after I initiate a buy or a sell. Way back (>2 years ago) I created some bots with fxdreema that worked, but they all had a buy now or a sell now block in it. And this time I want to manually decide when I buy or sell and have the expert set tp for me.

Can someone let me know what I am doing wrong? Even just pointing me in the right direction would help a lot.
The expert loads fine in MT4 but then does nothing. Allow live trading is enabled on my demo account.

Also, the comment block is not important so that can be ignored.

Thanks for reading!

Hi there!

Thanks again for your thoughts

What I want is this:

pending order triggers -> pending order takes profit -> pending order with the same settings is created.

I have about 12 pending orders with different entry prices and take profits per trade. The entry prices and take profits will always have the same price offset and will depend on the entry of the buy or sell order.

This loop should last untill a (parent) buy or sell order with a specific take profit (10 pips) is closed by take profit.

I was trying to work around the add volume only being available for trades, but I am now also learning to code MQL4 so I am hopefull that if this is not achievable in fxdreema I will eventually be able to code it myself, although that will probably take a lot of time before I am there

Happy Saturday!

bumping this one...anyone have an example for me how to use the "for each pending order loop" like fxdreema here described? Pulling my hair out here trying to understand how this block works to create a cycle.

@fxDreema I am having trouble getting the loop to work, would you be able to elaborate with making a short example of what you wrote above? I am not asking you to make it for me, just a short example to get me on the way.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks I will try to do that!

The pending order "cycle" I am trying to create is a series of 12 pending orders (each with a different tp/sl). When one of the orders takes profit, it should be put back into the pending order list. Right now, I was thinking of giving each p/o an individual group number, and then have the EA check per group number if it t/p. When that value is true, there would be a new block of 12 p/o's with the same values (different group numbers again) with the t/p check, and so on and so on and so on. Downside is the maximum amount of cycles = the amount of pending order blocks created. Perhaps I could get it to work with the loop you suggested.
