@nicholasweber86 said in My EA won't open any trades..:
I'm building my 2nd EA to test a hair brained idea strategy out and I'm hitting a brick wall.
https://fxdreema.com/shared/tVVMI6ssc
I've tried everything I could think of.. But it's just not opening any trades when I back test.
Any helpful comments are greatly appreciated!
attention, the fractal indicator does not work on the candle ID1, but on candle ID2 instead. You should change this value
@Aibek Please type rsi vs envelopes and check....there is one like your screenshot above. It's not a matter of being smart or not, you u have not mentioned at all you already searched on codebase
@facto it seems that the error is clear : you don't have an indicator with that name in dreema's "my indicators" list. Writing the exact name of the indicator is also crucial.
@OntradingX Clear. From the error I saw from the screenshot I understood that the EA doesn't place pending orders. But at this point if you see the pending orders on the chart and also in the list in the MT5/MT4 toolbox it means that the EA has done its job, then it is definitely a problem on the broker side.

that's what it was! 
@fx_boy when the cross happens > set flag true
then in another path > check flag true> add your condition
@clubdio this indicator shows when the CCI is above/below 0 value for each timeframe selected. I think is more simple place 4 condition block in a row, once for each time frame. Much more simple for the same result without indicator.
@Davide4658 by clicking the ex4 button you can see if there are any errors around. It seem to be to fix this constant, please check inside
@aakash-waghule all TradingView tools are written in the proprietary PineScript language. You have to convert this code to mql4/5 hiring a programmer I assume.
@1stusFx also you can compile the mq4 in metaeditor, and it shows you in wich part of code there is the error (line and column) and from it you can find the block where the error is.
@vijithtr click on .mq4 button to download the file in the "expert" MT4 folder. To be sure there are no errors in your project, click on .ex4 button also, maybe you get some error messages.
you are right, it is one of the small problems never solved here for the MT5 platform. For years now I have been downloading both files from the fxdreema page (mq5 and ex5), then refresh MT5
it happens when you have many negative trades and many positive trades at the same time, when a total profit is reached they are added up
@sktsec is like trailing in pips, but in money
Here an example: when profti reach 100$ the trail secure to you 50$ , at 110$ go to 60$ and so on
If you try in the tester you can see a numeric value of it on chart
@Mehran91 dividing by 100 the total size and put the condition for body size
in no trade buy, put group#1 , since you want open a buy #group1 , the condition block is right.
Only i don't like pending orders below a buy or sell block. Make a different tree "if trade buy" =>no trade/orders sell => sell pending order
