Hi everyone. Today I was wandering, is it possible to normalize ID's without getting deleted all blocks with custom ID's? (by custom I mean characters)

I assume it is a bug since it does not appear like it was supposed to happen this way (on purpose) because setting a block with an ID other than a number separates it from the rest making it specially useful when we want to call it later with "run blocks". The only workaround I found was to stop using characters for block ID's and to make a map for where I do have blocks that are called and where are the blocks that call them, ant then of course sitting down, grab a cup of tea and start remapping each of those.

@tradeforexpips this is an example where only one trade is made once a condition is made and then another condition (in this case when the time filter ends) makes possible for the sistem to work again (for another trade to be made if the conditions are met).

@miro1360 yes, I'm aware that when using more than one EA on an account it is needed to give a different name to the constant "tempFileName" like varSave2.txt instead of varsave1.txt (or any other name). It is still important to leave that point clarified for anyone who tries this, so thaks again! :simple_smile:

@Jennifer sure,

Here the MA trailing is set to close on the 20 periods SMA in H1 (having opened at 50 SMA). The measures I explained before were needed because otherwise I would have a trade in break even but the moving average trailing would set it backwards when said MA had not yet reached the price of the stop loss. With these measures it only moves in the direction of profit (as any trailing SL).

@miro1360 I tested it and it works well (at least haven't found any bug so far and tested it with different types of variables). This effectively adds more value to variables as they can now be relied upon to store (and manipulate) more vital information.

@Jennifer it sound for what you say that your indicator throws value 0 at the start of every candle (if you try to moidify a SL with value 0 it just deletes the SL). You can confirm if it is the case by using a comments block in output & communication section to show every tick the output of the indicator and if that's the case (or you can just go for it anyways) you will need to add a filter to check if the value is greater than the SL in case of long trade or lower than SL in case of short trade and always positive (to rule out 0 value and thus deleting the SL).

EDIT:
This is an example of a custom trailing stop loss where I had to apply such filters for it to work (although you will still need to add the "SL > 0" condition)

@timmyhanke If you use Tickdatasuite yo can backtest with historical spread data inside MT4 (actually it's the only kind of backtest that I would rely on).

@Jennifer What I use is the timefilter block. You need to set the filter in advance but there are plenty of places where to check the scedule of news that affects one currency pair.

@miro1360 you re a genius! I work with EAs that depend greatly on variables and you don't know how many times I had a blackout hampering the workings of said EA. I had been thinking in a workaround to this but this is THE solution. Many thanks!

@engrled I got this . check for this link: fxDreema(3)(slightlychanged)

Just set the constants "Price1shift_days" to "3", "Price2shift_days" to "1" and "Price3shift_days" to "2". I recommend keeping these inputs as constants so it's easier to change on the go.

This is the channel your EA is drawing without any changes. It looks color filled because it's set on the background but it seems to work fine. Again, check what prices you are setting to the channel (I'm not familiarized as to which one is price 1, 2 or 3)

Now this is the same channel drawn by your EA, with the only change made to draw it not on the background and selectable.

Another one just with more zoom

Just check the prices.

Thaks! It works well. I would not have thought in picking the value from there (objects on the chart/attributes set 2 (text)) and feeding that value into the variable. You really got the hang of this!

Hello everyone, I would like to know how to use the edit field object ("draw edit field" block) since I tried using a constant and also a variable but could not affect the value of the constant or the variable so, basically I don't know how to get the input of the edit field to use it. Any idea?

Edit: you'll have to place an EA for each account though

@engrled but when I check it on more zoom (in a lower timeframe) it shows it is actually a channel, it's just the prices are in the wrong order. I'll check the right order fro the price 1, 2 and 3

@engrled This is what draws in my screen (the green line that projects, not the indicator)

That draw block won't work unless you connect something else, like a pass block (single blocks that are not chained to anything don't run in Fxdreema)

Yes, I like to check the trgger line too (in large timeframes). Well, you will have to make several condition blocks to check:

1. candle 0's candle close > candle 1's candle close
2. candle 1 bullish (you can either use the "bull candle" block under various signals or just check for candle 1's open price < candle 1's close price)
3. candle 2 bullish (same as above)
   4)candle 1's candle low > EMA 8 (in case you use constants is period 8 n' method 1)
   5)candle 2's candle low > EMA 8
