Found a useful indicator for fxdreema users, called Buffers explorer.
We can see buffers for chosen indicator, in separate subwindow.

I find it very useful, thought to share.

@mustafa-12345 In the trail stop... it says Trail what? Right now it is set on Take profit. If you want to trail stops, set it on - trail stop loss.

@hectorelnasi The only way to know, is to make a forward test, on demo, for a week, or more. If it does many trades, you can see what is happening even in one day or two. But even if it fails, the important thing is you discovered some good principle which you can use.
Also.... although this is my approach and could be wrong here... if this result is from MM, try to get some positive result only from the strategy itself, with fixed amount. Then, If that works in forward test, adding some MM will only skyrocket your profits. But for building the EA, I don't use MM, to see if the entry exit strategy works. Again, this my approach, and I could be wrong here, as MM plays a very important role, and some rely more on that, and maybe works for them.

Yes, that's weird... Particularly because it is a default indicator (not custom). Maybe you should reinstall Mt4, or restart computer. Also, try something with another indicator, see if that works, and if it does, it means the indicator is broken for some reason. That's why I suggested reinstall Mt4.
Otherwise the condition seems ok. Should work.

@pranj hello, try with candle id 1 in the conditions block > more settings.

@advvj Also check the journal tab, maybe you can find a clue.

@zackry I see you asked something about the buttons.... You could put the draw buttons - on init, Then "set to default" state - on tick. So when you click it, it doesn't remain pushed.
Check out this project I made some time ago. It had an incomplete shared version, but I changed it, so this is good simulator.

There is an indicator here, ma with atr, and some explanation.

No, because then Mt4 is shut down also. You need access to a VPS where Mt4 is running continuously.

@roar Very Helpful hint. Didn't thought of that. Thank you.

@zackry Happened to me also. Check every input area, and hit backspace many times, to be sure you erased every "unknown symbol". Then enter your numbers clean. Even if you don't see the "unknown symbol", it's there. Be sure to erase it. You probably accidentally touched the keyboard before entering numbers.

@spuzy Thanks Great to know the steps, and when want to do one, will look into the details of coding. Thanks.

@ptejerina Thank you, really great indicator. Much needed. THANKS!!!

How can this be done? Does the mt4 wizard help?
Also, ... the indicators have to be MT4 default, or it can be done with custom indicators as well.
Indicator on indicator is very requested, so any help would be great.

@robertk I'm also using market profile with manual trading, and a few months ago, I found this project.
https://fxdreema.com/forum/topic/5734/big-challenge-for-me-at-least-count-candles-crossed-by-a-horizontal-line
Wow, for months I thought this project was emptied of the original blocks. I looked now with greater attention, and the main part of the project is on the "On chart" event tab.
Wow this is great! Glad I tried to help :), I helped myself also So look on the On chart tab.

@fxdreema Few days passed, restarted computer also, now it works fine. I found the shared version modified... but rebuilt it. Now it works fine. Everything functions properly. I am very happy for this project, it is my first project with on init, on trade, on tick combined. Learning And it's very useful for training. If people want to add more buttons, and more closing options, more buys, sells, etc, that could be done easily following same steps basically.
This FxDeema is a very useful EA builder, and is really Unique in how it's built, really amazing. You are one great example, of how one man can bring benefit to the whole planet. One project made out of passion. You are an inspiration. Thank you for doing this.
Then the chain reaction... WOW

@dgrl No, my EA's do not behave differently... technically. I was just simpatico with the US30, and FRA40...

@dgrl I am also trading indices... My favorites, because spreads are small and there are no swap costs. And, yes, for me too, I have better results on indices. There seems to be not so much of a noise, like on EUR/USD. Technically speaking, the EA's work the same on both, but results are better because of characteristics of market.

@laneciar Here some screen shots with possible ways to go about it... I haven't tried, depends on your indicator, and where you want to TP. Configure specifically. Anyone with other suggestions, or if I am wrong about these, please correct and give your perspective. Thanks.

First example is with two sets of buy sell, where one is with Trailing stop loss, the other with TP at price level from indicator buffer. Different Groups!!!
In the picture is SL at price level, with TP at 100% from SL , meaning same distance on profit from open price as the SL. This could be 200% etc.
But you could do SL at some pips, and TP at some level, based on indicator.

Second example is for loop with condition on indicator or how you want it. But in this case, I guess you will have to have more than 0.01 lot size, as 0.01 is minimum at most brokers, and currencies. It depends, I guess.

Third Example is with on trade event, not on tick.. and with Groups!!! also.

Hope this helps, and if there are other suggestions please help, this is good to know for everybody. Thanks.

So I just got some feedback, and it seems the Simulator works fine for other people.

EDIT: I see it works for me also, but don't know why - I have to click the close button many many times, very fast.
