Perfect, thank you.

About synchronization: I was wondering if there's the possibility of a mismatch between candle in the graph or candle in backtesting and candle calculation by the EA (due to different clock time or other reasons...) I say this because I saw strange things in my backtest...

Your request it's similar to my topic ("once per bar, working on open or close of a candle").
You can't set a pending order in the high of the current bar on a specific time, because you don't know the current high price, the price could rise again. it's also impossible to backtest a similar EA...the high price is that when the candle is completed. Conversely it's possible to set a pending order at the high of the previous candle (candle ID:1).
I suggest you to use "once per bar"...waiting to the confirmation in my topic...

So if i understand in this simple case:

Once per bar (first block) --> condition ---> do something

If condition is met in the second "zero of a candle" my EA "do something" in the open price of a candle
In case of condition met in the second 20 of a bar my EA "do nothing" because "once per bar" passes only 1 time in the beginning of candle
Right ?

What about synchronization of candles in real and in backtesting ?

You can setup a Formula: Open price x 0,05. Be careful to set up correctly pips or digits.

Hi,
I'm working at a new EA in a short time frames (m5-m10), I put "once per bar" at the top of my flow, because I need to pass only at the beginning of a candle (EA should work only on open price, at the second 00 of a minute and on the rest of time do nothing) There are obviously other conditions below "once per bar" block.
The question is: If conditions below "once per bar" are met after the second "zero" of a candle, does the EA pass when the condition are met or not ?
I need to work only at the beginning (or on the end) of a candle and do nothing on the rest of the time because open and close price are well known and they are good for backtesting.
For the moment i have results in the MT5 backtesting that don't match at all in a real situation. My theory is: if i write a flow that works only in O-C (open or close prices) a simulation in OHLC should be perfect (apart slippage). I don't know if there's a real synchronization of candle in backtesting.
Thanks.

Thanks!
Some good example of blocks that I didn't know well (modify variables and loop break)

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a rule but I'm not confident what i'm doing
I need to check losses in the last 24 hours and pass the next block only if losses are less than a balance % value
I know, probably it is needed "For each closed Position", "check age" blocks, but how to connect ?
I was thinking that "for each position" loads a number of closed positions, but actually it would be requested to load only the necessary positions for age...the number of positions is not well know...

Thanks,

Maurizio.

Here the correct flow to pass n times using also once per bar block

No pending orders-->once per bar--->pass n times--->buy pending order
If no positions is running--->reset counter

Set the correct counter ID!

If you put pass n times before once per bar it doesn't work.

I hope it'll be helpful.

Right!
I written a quite complicated 45 blocks expert advisor, it's nice and it works well, I thought that the counter and the relative reset block was the most simple in my flow but it isn't for me
Me too I think that there's all necessary, but for the moment i can't connect blocks in the right way.
I tried to simplified in my post because the rest of the flow is not important.
However in the real would be:

No pending orders-->pass 3 times-->once per bar-->buy pending order

If no positions is running-->reset counter

It seems it doesn't work in MT5 but I will try again in the next day and I'll report here.

You are in continuous development on request! thank you.

I tried the new block but it seems in mt5 doesn't work properly, or maybe is not what i was thinking.
All the three examples generate 3 buy operations in the same candle...

Also the new "once per bar" block generates 3 operations in the same candle.

About the last one (once per bar with n max to pass) how to reset the "n" Max times to pass ?

What I needed was:

If there's a position running, buy only once per candle and maximum 3 times in absolute.
When there's no positions start again the program (reset "n" max times to pass)

Thank you,

Maurizio.
