@tipsywisdom Good catch Stupid error on my part I'll correct & see if that changes anything I have been through so many different changes to get this to work. The BE & TS work but I could relocate to a better location

This should be super simple. Nothing fancy Just a simple MA cross. 95% of all the fxdreema projects that I have done have been for MT4 This is one of my first projects for MT5.
What am I doing wrong? Why does this not work? I would prefer to use MT5 But It almost looks like a fxdreema has some issues with MT5?. Is anyone else having strange issues with fxdreema & MT5 projects

Here is a screen shot of the MT5 chart over the MT4 chart. The MT5 chart has an indicator that draws white arrows at the MA crosses So my ea should enter a trade & draw a line & an arrow at the same time

I am trying to do a VERY basic MA cross on MT5. I did some testing overnight. This algo works randomly It sees some of the MA crosses & misses some. Stops seeing the crosses for a long period & then it starts seeing them again. To try & sort out why it does not work I made 2 identical EA's one for MT5 & 1 for MT4 . I ran both for several hours earlier today. The MT4 version works as it should. The MT5 version is random it misses some crosses. Indicated a cross where there is none. At one point it indicated the cross 5 bars early I do not think that I am good enough to program something that can see into the future! It almost looks like it gets worse the longer it runs?
This is the MT 4 version that works as it should https://fxdreema.com/shared/VPuUx2F9d

ah yes, candle size is in pips!!. he needs to use a price level. Can he use candle 0 candle high? Do we know what the candle 0 high is before it closes? I have had a bunch of problems when using candle 0 & I get very confused. I now use market properties which is the current price & that seems to work better for me

What I want is to turn $100 in to $ 1,000,000 in the next month. My problem is that this EA does not do this

I am not an expert but I do not think that you can use candle 0 in the way that you are doing? Example block #4 Candle 0 " Candle total size" candle 0 is the current candle The total size cannot be calculated until the candle is closed. Then it becomes candle 1. Similar thing with block #5 How can the candle 0 open cross above a MA? I think that you have to use "market properties"

I had the same issue. I contacted my broker & they confirmed that with them the market is closed from 23:58 to 00:04 I was trading the daily bar with the trades happening at the start of the new bar so the market closed error was valid Opened a demo with another broker they do not close the market & The EA now runs OK
Some brokers close the market & some do not. A problem with trading at the start of the new day is that the spread can get bigger. So I will try & modify my ea to trade a few minutes before or after the close of the daily bar

Here is a project that I did that uses buttons. I do not change the color but I change the text. ea on /ea off
But this should work

I contacted my broker They confirmed that on their server The market is closed from 23:58 to 00:04. So that explains the market closed error. Now as TipsyWisdom mentioned I will have to try & program my EA not to trade during that time. Ideally, I would like to take the trades a short time before the end of the candle to avoid the potential larger spreads Let's say somewhere between 23:30 to 23:45. This should be fun!!

Update: I downloaded & installed MT5 from a different broker. Now when I run my EA I do not get the market closed error? I am familiar with FxDreema but new to MT5 & the strategy tester. I wonder if it is something that I am doing wrong. One of the reasons for switching to MT5 was that the strategy tester should be better than what is available on MT4?
I will try & contact the broker support to see if they can help

I am building my first MT5 ea. I have done quite a few for MT4 & I am familiar with fxdreema. When testing using the strategy tester I get random results. Sometimes it takes the trades correctly & other times I get the Market closed (10018) error. I see that other users have had the same issue, without a reported solution Here is a link to my project.

Thanks

@trader-philipps I want all the logic to run as often as possible But I only want the Buy now to open 1 trade. That is why I put the once per block at the end. Is that OK?

Yes I am using pass blocks as switches controlled by chart pushbuttons. I am going to try & eliminate as many as possible

I am not really looking for a detailed review. What I want are more general program building guidelines. I must be doing something basic wrong. You might look at my program & see some obvious programming "do not do like this " things. Why when I start to build a more complex program do parts that worked (before that I did not change), now they do not work?
Things like I use a Pass block & turn it on/off to control parts of the program. Is that OK
Is the way I use buttons OK

Both of these do the same thing. Is one better than the other?

I realize that my question is vague & difficult to answer
Thanks for taking the time to look at my post

Not sure what you mean " doesn't load my indicator on the EA" also I would move the once per bar to just before the BUY & SELL blocks

start using your indicator on something very simple use just 1 condition to make sure that it is being read correctly by FXD

I have been using fxdreema for 4 or 5 weeks. I am very impressed It allows me to put my ideas into an algo very easily.
I have started with a simple concept & have continually improved & added features to the basic structure
I see my algo trading as a semi-auto. Allow the algo to run but be able to have manual control over certain functions
Yesterday I was trying to add max loss protection. If the max loss goes over a certain # of pips or a max # of consecutive losing trades turn off the trade opening part, but allow auto-close of existing positions to happen.
I start from an algo revision that has been tested & works. I add the max loss logic & start a test on a demo account. The max loss works OK but is not perfect & needs some refinement. I turn the EA Off via my chart control button BUT it continues to take trades. Before I did the max loss changes the ON/OFF control worked, now it does not. I check all the logic & the on/off should work. I did not touch this part of the program
So as I add to the program & make it more complex I must be doing something wrong & causing some fxdreema issues?

I must be doing something wrong! any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks & sorry for the long post

The strange thing is that I use variables in other projects & they work OK & on some projects the do not
I sent an email to support but have not had a reply

I deleted the formula block & started from the beginning & tried to write the var2 I get the same problem

I tried writing the variable instead of the right click & I still have the same problem it goes back to var1. I do not see how I can do my project without using variables
