To further elaborate on the connector issue, the Formula to Condition connector that is missing in the screenshot was there until I moved the No Trade is running block which is connected to the No Pending Order exists block. This now also looks like it's not connected.

Also, I can't scroll to the right for projects that have blocks on the right of the screen.

And still some weird stuff going on with the connectors http://prntscr.com/83piec I'm using Chrome and have tried on two different machines on two different networks and the same issues exist.

It happened this time when I added new blocks, connected them and then moved one of the blocks.

Another issue. Area's have not carried over, i.e. they have disappeared on old projects.

Hi,

Condition > "Crosses Above" seems to have switched with Condition > "Is Above"

I also think this may be the case with some of the other attributes.

Also, connectors are breaking all over the place and moving blocks has issues as well as deleting them, i.e. they don't delete first time.

Also, where have the history/undo options gone?

No worries, I worked it out using Mod Variables and Values in the end... taxing on the brain!!

Hi again, I can't seem to get over this hurdle.

It may help if you view the project first: just check out the one called "Candy EA v1.1" and the Area called "Buy Trade Entry - Different Patterns".

Here's what I'm trying to do:

• Enter a buy trade after the following has happened:

1. within the last X (PatternsBarsBack) bars X (NumberOfPatterns) number of candlestick patterns have been formed (I'm currently working with 3 patterns but will add several more when I have sorted this out)

At the moment I'm trying to count the patterns within the last X bars and then when the count number matches the Constant Input "NumberOfPatterns" it places a buy trade.

Is this enough information for you to check to see where I'm going wrong? I've tried Counter, Formula and Modify Varialbes blocks and keep going round in circles.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks, I'll take this new approach and see if it fits what I'm trying to do.

Hi,

Is there an easy way to add multiple formula results together easily, e.g. 1 + 1 + 1 + 1?

Currently the only way I can think to do this is to do the first formula and they carry the result over to the second and so on. But this doesn't really work with what I'm trying to do.

The project you reviewed is not the one I was refering to, the one I'm referring to is called "MTM Trendline EA".

Ideally not wanting Timeframes to be an input parameter, but if that's the only way I can do it then yes.

Will have a look at the other comments you make and see if I understand what you're saying. Cheer!

I see what you mean.

From what I can see, my notification is picking up the PERIOD_CURRENT which returns zero.

There are not other options within FXdreema to change the Timeframe option to choose a period number, e.g. PERIOD_M1. Is there another way to do it?

Hi,

I'm trying to send the Timeframe information through (e.g. M5 or H1 etc...) in an "Alert Message" and it's coming through as "0" regardless of the Timeframe I place the EA on. I'm selecting Market Properties > Timeframe in the Data Row.

Is there a bug with this option, or is there something different I should be doing?

Many thanks! The moving average insight helped. I managed to solve it!

MA set to Candle High, Period 1, Cross Width 1. This validates it must have crossed under at some point and at least 1 candle wasn't touching the MA.

Sure thing, here you go:

Thanks,

Ironically the system I'm using is using ZigZag as the backbone, so thanks for putting that one in.

Maybe there is another way you know of (that doesn't require a highest low indicator) that can solve the problem I have. Here's the problem:

• I want to be able to check that the price has gone below a MA, formed at least 1 candle below the MA (the candle cannot touch the MA)
• Then place a buy trade on the next candle that goes above the moving average (that is not touching the MA)

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers

So, there is no function? I need to find an indicator somewhere that will do this and add as a custom indicator?

Just checking I understand what you're saying

Hi,

I'm using the Market Properties > Highest Point (Candles Period) but really need to check the highest Candle Low of a Candles Period, e.g. the highest candle low of the range 0-10 is above an indicator. I'd also like to do it for the reverse as well, i.e. the Lowest High (Candles Period).

Does this already exist?

Cheers

Thanks, these changes fixed it!

Thanks.

Where can I change the MagicStart number? I can't see it in any of the boxes?

Will also try and update the EA using your suggestions to see if that helps.

Cheers

I have a rule set to delete the last remaining pending order when the previous order hits take profit.

When I back test this it works fine, but when I run the EA on live or demo accounts the 2nd pending order does not delete. There is no information about why it's not working in the Journal either.

I have tried two ways:

• Check for previous trade closed in profit
• Check for previous trade that hit Take Profit

Here's an example of both methods:

Any help much appreciated!
