It would be great if we could utilise parts of EAs that we have built and import them into other projects. For example, you may have a particular approach to managing trades that you want to incorporate into different Expert Advisors. It would be good if you could import all of the blocks and variables easily from a repository of templated sections. Even better if this could be a community repository where users could upload sections for use by other traders.

Has anyone got an example of how this is actually applied? If you have a collection of blocks leading to a buy/sell block, do you just put this one at the top?

I always get tied up and confused when trying to calculate TP or SL based on calculation of price or pips. I never know whether I should be using price or pips in the calculation blocks.

Say for example I want to set my TP as 50% of the distance between two points on a chart. I calculate the difference between the two points as a price fraction (eg. 0.0015). How do I then calculate the TP based off this? I also want to make sure that it works with Yen pairs as well, so don't want to multiple by 10,000.

Nevermind, figured it out with the For Each Closed Trade block. I just had an error with a Numerical vs pips calculation.

Hi. I want to create a new pending order x pips away from where the last trade hit its take profit. I have tried using "On Trade" with a "Trade closed" block, however it doesn't seem to read it. I have also tried creating a For Each Closed Trade block, but again, it doesn't seem to register. Is there an easy way to do this?

Hello

I have imported an indicator, but not 100% sure I have done it correctly. The EA I built with it doesn't act exactly as I expect it to, so I suspect I have got something wrong. The variables are as follows:

The first two I think are int variables (based on the '123 on the far left), however they are in a drop down box. Does the first item represent 0 or 1 when converted to integers?

Do I need to do anything special with these variables in the ennum section, or can i just enter them as variables, (noting I'm not planning to change any of these).

Any help is appreciated.

@roar The issue is not so much as the usefulness of the news filter in creating a profitable strategy, it is more about being able to actually trade the strategy with a prop firm where you can really add scale to your trading.

I don't care about news events either in my algo trading (different story when I'm manually trading futures). Most of my EAs are designed to trade with small positions that aren't severely impacted by volatility generated by scheduled news events.

I will have a look at it. On first glance, one thing you might consider is a number of bars that the RSI test is valid for before you get your MA cross for entry.

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here. I only want to enter a subsequent trade if it is losing by a certain amount, however it just enters hundreds of trades right on the original trade price.

Yes, however I was thinking more about plug and play modules or components that you could quickly add to any project you are working on.
