Any update on this? I know this is years ago. For some reason % of equity isnt working for me either.

Anyone know how to make a vertical line only at currently candle and it moves when new candle is created?

I need it for MT5

Hello, this may be simple but I don't know how to solve it. When in a trade, and the trade meets certain conditions for my indicator, I want to modify my stop and set it to X amount of pips below/above whatever the current price is. (example: 10 pips)

I have the indicator part correct, I just don't know exactly how to set stop loss to X amount of pips below current price.

By the way for my broker, 10 pips is a value of 100.

@tec-nacks Because that would limit their customer base severely. No prop firm will actually do this. If i had to put a number on it, 5% or less of successful traders use an EA to trade for them.

That's 5% of the top 1% of traders that actually are profitable since 99% of traders fail.

Update: I solved it. Under "Time Filter" block, you can change the field to 'Component" and it gives the hours - minutes - seconds options.

Is there a simple way of opening a trade before a candle closes? For example:

Open a trade 5 seconds before the opening candle for London session.

I could've sworn there was a time filter that had hour/minute/seconds but I guess not.

I could probably use that if there was, or maybe I'm not seeing it.

Update: Works Now

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I dont think so. Can anyone else confirm that the hours filter is or isnt working for MT5 EAs?

@l-andorrà Yes sir. Thanks

Update 2: It works using the structure posted in the first update.

Update: Could I do something like (FOR EACH POSITION) > (CHECK AGE: OLDER THAN X MINUTES) > (ONCE PER POS/ORDER) > (TURN ON BLOCK) ?

Hey so I have a simple question.

I made an EA that requires me to manually enter a trade and the EA manages the trade after that.

When I open a position, I want the EA to wait until candle 0 becomes candle 1 before turning on specific blocks.

So in summary, trade is opened on candle 0, EA waits until candle 0 becomes candle 1 before performing a specific action (example: turn on block 1)

How can I achieve this?

@Abade69 I appreciate that info. Thank you sir

@sktsec very good point and definitely something to consider. Thank you!

@Abade69 It's funny because I tried that but I guess I didn't set it up properly before. It does work actually. Thanks for mentioning it again.

@sktsec thank you sir!

@Abade69 dude thank you so much! I'll let you know how it goes.

@Abade69 MT5. Thank you

@Abade69 Sounds like i need some cutom variables.

Any idea of blocks / values I can use to get started?
