Been ‘playing’ with trading for too many years. Decided to try and automate my approach as keep going off the rails by changing approaches and not being systematic.

High and low of previous day time rangeposted in Questions & Answers
I what to capture the high and low of a start range from the previous day although cannot make this work. I don’t want to do this with candles but server time start and end - e.g. 01:00-08:59 of the previous day, using server time. Could anyone assist with this as I am stumped? Thanks!

RE: Candle pattern logic EA questionposted in Questions & Answers
Great - good advice!
I am pretty pleased I can develop a reasonable strategy in fxdreema in a couple of weeks.
I am going to see if I can get the much refined version of this done within the week. -
RE: why is backtesting slow?posted in Questions & Answers
I have just see this comment about MT4/MT5 @l-andorrà
Are there any specific limitations with MT5 as that is what I am using? -
RE: Candle pattern logic EA questionposted in Questions & Answers
Thanks - I recreated the whole EA and now it functions. I think I was not recording the variable correctly and that was the root cause.
Next is to make it profitable!
I still think this might be overly complicated still, although this is what I have tried to group it up as -is this a better layout?:

RE: Very basic variable questionposted in Questions & Answers
Thanks for the suggestion. I am still learning the best way to run through the logic..
Out of interest, in terms of the does the logic in fxdreema; would it wait in this logic tree until an orange condition applies, or does it exit on the first yellow, and then restart on the next tick? -
RE: Very basic variable questionposted in Questions & Answers
I have realised that I should be incrementing variables with the white / orange / yellow boxes:

Very basic variable questionposted in Questions & Answers
I have a problem were I cannot increment a variable.
I want to count each bear candle and when I count 2, enter a sell. This is just to get the logic to work and I realise that it only counts 1 and then seems to stop. Could someone
guide me on where my logic is wrong?

RE: Candle pattern logic EA questionposted in Questions & Answers
Thanks for that! I have moved it and that hasn't remedied it, although I have not used the on time tab before so good to know that is the right place for it.
The core issue seems to be the bull / bear / bear logic. I have stripped this out and when I run this on 5 months worth of data (Pepperstone, Every tick based on real ticks) I only get 9 trades which is wrong.
What this should be doing is looking for a 3 candle pattern of Candle 3 (Bull), Candle 2 (Bear), Candle 1 (Bear) and then trigger the trade.
Would it be possible for you to test this and see if you equally get very few trades?

Candle pattern logic EA questionposted in Questions & Answers
Hi- I am working up this EA and am struggling to get the sell logic working properly. Once I have resolved
I would look to replicate it to the buy side.
The basic logic is:- take note of the Asian high and low (I know this is not the full Asian range, although I read that fxdreema has an issue with going past 00:00 to the previous day, so wanted to cap it there for initial testing)
- wait for price to cross the high
- wait for a 3 candle pattern - bull / bear / bear
- optionally - check that all three candles are still above the Asian high
If all this is correct, trigger a sell.
I am sure I have something wrong in the logic as this is not triggering any sell trades. Previously (and I didn't keep a copy...!) I had this working and it looked promising. I don't have a backup and cannot see what I am doing wrong, except I am sure it is an issue with how I am working through the logic. Any help would be appreciated:
