I want check that my closed position was closed manualy . And it dosn't work.
But I have new idea. I must add a condition to ea closing. Condition will be true when EA closes but False when I close manually.

@casebefx Can't reproduce. Maybe a browser specific or caching issue. Have you tried with browser in private mode? Are you connected through a proxy server?

I think that these problems are related. I am glad that the problem will be solved.

Best regards

Adding new EA I must attache mql4 file.

I don't know why people prefer to connect blocks like this. The idea of these "Bucket" blocks is to:

Select some group of trades. Because the term "Group" is used somewhere else, I decided to use the word "Bucket". After you have those trades selected, get some value out of them - their profit, count, whatever.

And the idea is that 2) **must **happen after 1). But for some reason if there are blocks that must run in certain order, people don't connect them in any order. Insted, probably because it looks more pretty, they connect blocks in this parallel fashion. When blocks are connected like this, then their numbers matter and this is the problem.

I don't want to turn the value from EMPTY_VALUE to 0 only because of this example. As I said, there is a reason why I use EMPTY_VALUE. What I can do is to turn EMPTY_VALUE to the minimum lot size in the functions that calculate lot sized. Because 0 is nothing, but EMPTY_VALUE also represents nothingness, although it's value is a huge positive number 🙂

And by the way, my first name is the same as yours, but I'm from Bulgaria. For that stupid reason, I will give you an extra month now 😆

@01Xolani Can you please open a new thread for your question?

Run Blocks works similarly than those drag-and-drop connections; if you have vertically connected blocks, say id1 -> id2 -> id3, just type id1 in the Run Blocks. The flow will then continue to the normally connected blocks below.

Otherwise here are some examples of how to calculate sum of profits in multiple filtered trades: https://fxdreema.com/shared/78kNK7MQb
In the example on the left I reset the variable (SumofProfits) in block 1 before the block starts, see the additional panel for controlling variables. Then the profit of the current trade is added to the variable in block 2.
But I like when things takes less space, so in the right example everything happens in block 4... well... at least you should know what OrderProfit(), OrderCommission() and OrderSwap() means in MQL4.
V1 means the name of the variable. The real name can be used instead, but V1 will be renamed to what is the real name.

When "For each trade" does it's job it goes to it's yellow output, so this is the exit after calculations where you can use that variable to compare it with something else.

Use string. This char is new for MT4 now, but it's one of these various numeric formats. I don't know what they are thinking, there are more than 10 numeric data types in this "programming language". I never experienced too much of RAM usage with any EA, as a thing those EAs are really small and lightweight, so what's the point... I don't know.

But anyway, in fxDreema there are some input options, what I can suggest is to define this as a Constant, look on the right side Constants (Inputs). Select "text" there.
But why you will want to define currency? If it is multicurrency strategy I understand, but if it uses only 1, then it is already defined - the default currency is that on the chart. In other words, when you add EA to EURJPY chart, that EA knows that currency and it will use it as a default.

The word "position" is mostly used for MT5, in MT4 those are not really positions. What position is - this is when you mix all trades into only 1 for the given market (symbol). A position is always 1 per symbol.

But be sure that you understand how these pink blocks work, because many people find them confusing, I think they are not too complex and they are much flexible. So read the description of "For each Trade". This EA works even without block 3, but I always recommend this block to be there.

I think it's better to use pending orders. And those groups... use them in case you have strategy with limited number of groups of trades, when each of these groups is designed to do different things, different logic, like if you have multiple EAs at the same time. If each trade has to follow the same logic as the previous one, then don't use groups, then command each trade the same way as the previous... similar to what I have on the right side where blocks 5, 6 and 7 are.
