the main single tree works fine, like I said. It's the little tree off to the side that isn't executing the 'close trades'. it's putting the comments on chart but not closing trades.

I just want it to close every open trade once those criteria are met

@jstap Thanks, I already posted the shared link 2 posts above

@l-andorrà all of the yellow circled 'close trades' are working, just not he red one

I've seen it on tradingview - do you have the MQ4/ MQ5 version?

yes, there's another condition tree with the entries and exits

Yeah you're right, not working for me either! Sorry, i'm sure someone else will have the answer!

I figured it out, thanks so much!

I even tried this to see if it was a problem with my variables, but even this didn't work!

Sorry guys, me again. Feel like i'm being an idiot here

This block WILL NOT EXECUTE. It puts the comments on chart just fine so it is running "every tick", but it won't close the trades. Even with no condition, even if I just put "once per tick > close" it's not closing any trades. Any ideas? thanks!

you can't use the * in a constant. You need it to just be a number and then put the * in the block that's using it

incredible! thanks so much!

Ok I literally only just realised you can click on the nubmers and change them! that's a game changer! does position on the page matter too?

how do you manually change the numbers on the blocks? that would make things much easier. Also does it usually execute the blocks/trees higher to the "top" of the page first?

@Alisorouri surely this is simpler? https://fxdreema.com/shared/666BtKrce

I mean obviously he will need to add blocks depending on how many trades he wants open etc, but this is essentially the signal

also firms will all have different rules as to whether they allow EAs, grid, hedging, martingale, whether you can trade around news, whether you can hold trades overnight, etc. Remember, prop firms are essentially running a casino/ ponzi scheme where the money they pay the successful comes from the unsuccessful, so it is within their interests to make it as difficult as possible and make as many little tricky rules as possible to catch you out. so make sure you read all the fine print!

probably not really the forum for that sort of question - but generally absolute drawdown is better because it allows you to essentially build a 'buffer'. Also the different firms will say how their max daily loss is calculated (max drawdown from peak equity/ starting day balance/ starting day equity etc). Generally balance-based drawdown is more favourable than equity-based drawdown unless you're using a trailing stop.

Hi friends, i'm trying to accomplish something that I believe to be fairly straightforward, and yet I can't figure it out. I tried doing it with flags and now variables:

how do you affect the order? is it the position on the page? or the block numbers?
