I'm wondering how I can get the ClosePostionBar ID of and trade. I have This code that gets the the OpenOrderBar ID but i've tried my best to re-write it to grab me the ClosePositionBar ID. I've been able to get the ID but it doesn't count after each bar like the Orderbar ID does using IBarshift.

@roar Thank you

How do I modify a stop on tick for a specific group number?
There is no group number filter in modify stops block

hm maybe I can use time.

There can be candles in between as well as immediately to the left or right. Another way to say it would be “trade 1s order bar ID is more than trade 2s setup bar ID”. But could be Infinite amount of bars in between.

Is there a way I can check if a specific candle ID is to the right or left of another candle ID. For my situation I want to only enter the next trade if the setup bar is to the right of the previous trades order bar. I have the values for both just not sure how I can check the position relative to one another left or right. Thanks

@SpecialFX Go to Tools, History center, and then download the timeframe your wanting to test. (GBPSGD, H1)
pretty much you need to download the data.

@l-andorrà thanks do you know how I would go about using the new variable in a block to tell if its been crossed?

@trader-philipps After a few days and coming back I got the stop to recalculate the way I wanted, thank you.
I have a few problems

1. Trades are exiting all at once and this doesn't give some of the newer trades time to mature.
2. Trades are taking the same trigger level multiply times
   
3. Sometimes trades trigger delayed and miss the initial breakout only to come back down and trigger a few
   candles later. Or miss the move completely missing an opportunity.

I don't know if groups will help me individualize each trade but you could say each close condition is different if more than one trade is in the same direction.

using the daily for testing

How would I go about giving each trade a group number and make sure they don't all close at once?

Ok I fixed. it Looped back to find bear candle ID and made sure the close was above 50 MA

So i'm running into this problem

If you look at the first trade its reading the setup correctly (even though Conditions aren't met) But once it crosses the
MAs then it thinks conditions are met and enters the trade. setup is working right if you compare to the last 2 trades

@trader-philipps thanks, going to try this out.

@trader-philipps By looping back to the most relevant bear candle to be broken out over storing that candles information and using its low as my SL.
Ah so when you first told me I could re-calculate the SL I did try to get the bear candles ID/Info and
re-calculate the stop once I hit a certain % of profit but I think I must have failed somewhere getting its
data and re-calculating its SL. Which I think is what you are showing me now.

@trader-philipps Yea profit in money was the only way to I could change it up easily.
I'm not sure I could have re-calculated the initial SL based on a take profit because my
take profit is the first bear candle to close after ive got 300 in profit. But with my knowledge
level I don't think my brain could muster up what that would look like xD but this is fun
and im sure ill get there.

So I was able to get this to work

@trader-philipps thank you, i'll do what I can.

You the real MVP

@trader-philipps Ah yes. So do you think once i've changed my stop to break even I could loop back to find the bear candles data, get its original stop and modify it from there once im up a certain %? or no because i've already moved it to break even? if not I may take a more conventional way of doing this

@trader-philipps I'm thinking something like this may work. Basically I have a money management plan of only risking $100 per trade no matter the size of the bear candle it bases the trade off of. And with this info I can first do the normal break even stop. Then after I can check my unrealized profit to see if im 300% in Profit. Then go ahead and modify the stop again to say lock in 2:1.

So from the last time you helped me I removed the targetlevel variable and any take profits for now. But for some reason its taking the position off at a 2:1. I've gone through but couldn't find why its doing this. i'm going to have different exit conditions for my take profit in the future. My questions are how I could get the EA to stop taking profit at 2:1 and if my logic for trailing stops looks ok?
