What do you mean? could you send a little example?

Im building a sequence to let the trade run during high volatility and catch the move. The idea is worst case scenario every time there is 5 more pips starting from 80 pips (85, 90, 95, etc) and price retraces 5 pips, a % of the trade would be closed. Say the trade goes to 80 pips and then back to 75, it would close a %, if on the other hand there is a fast move and profit (pips) jumps from 80 pips to 110 and then retraces to 105, all the % that would have been closed at 75, 80, 85, 90, 95 and 100 would be closed at 105.
This structure is already built, but is very long and impractial. I would like to know if anybody has any ideas or solutions since I want to build this from 80 pips to 280 and then that structure 3 times more for different groups of trades, something that would be astronomical. I imagine there must be a more elegant way to build it but I havent been able to come up with it yet.

I hope I made myself clear, please ask anything thats unclear.
Would appreciate a lot some help.

@tipsywisdom I solved it this way: https://fxdreema.com/shared/QdgMaj4sd

@TipsyWisdom
Thank you for taking the time to answer.
I tried what you said "1" and also this "2" But it still doesnt work. 50% of the trade is still being closed as soon as is opened.

The EA trades when there is high volatility, so its important for it to count the trades every tick or as soon as they are closed. In order to do that is vital that it is counted On Trade, since I want to backtest the bot without it taking 60 hours a time.

Im having 2 problems, the first one is the one already described, the structure is as simple as 2 blocks. The 2nd one is that I want to take partial profits, what happens is that as soon as the trade is opened, 50% of it is closed. It doesnt wait to reach the "pips away from open price" amount.

I appreciate your help!

Allegedly they work exactly the same, the thing is that when using On Tick it consumes a lot of resources, for example when backtesting usually 1 year takes 2 hours and a half, now is running 13 hours already and its on the 4th month, so we could assume it will take around 60 hours for the same backtest.

Hi there, I built the same structure in On Tick and On Trade and when using On Trade the counters do not work correctly, some trades are not being counted, I cant seem to find the reason.
I would appreciate your help!
Thanks in advance

Im backtesting an algo and I want to be able to see it working with the strategy tester visualization on mt5. The problem Im encountering is that from the moment a trade is opened, the graph jumps directly to the moment the trade was closed. I want to be able to see what happens in between. Does anybody have the same problem? Any solutions? Is it related to my algo or the mt5 configurations?

Thanks in advance

Hi @jstap
Thank you very much for your answer, I tried these 2 structures, only the one on the right worked.
Im not sure if Im making any mistake on the one on the left, nevertheless its working.

Thank you again!

I created a new thread haha. Issue is actually not resolved.

Im using this structure to count the number of:
Opened trades
Closed trades
Closed on TP
Closed on SL

Sadly, the number of trades closed on TP and SL are not being properly counted when translated to mq5. It is working correctly on mt4.
"Check loss" and "Check profit" give the same issue.

Is there a solution for this? Or how can I work around it?

I would appreciate your help a lot.

@l-andorrà
Nevermind, I figured it out.
Thank you for you interest nevertheless

@l-andorrà
Sure, here it is.

Thank you for your help!
Btw, I also tried to use "check how it was closed" and had a similar problem.

Sure, here it is.

Hi people.

Im having a lot of trouble with the "check loss" and "check profit". Im backtesting the EA and on the first day, counting is correct. Every day at a certain time Im resetting the variables but for some strange reason on day 2 first trade is a win over the threshold, it is not counted, 2nd trade is a loss over the threshold, it is not counted, 3rd trade is a win over the threshold and is counted as a loss.
Im completly lost on what is going on. I would appreciate your help a lot.
