@OntradingX Thanks again.

I'm not using any Variables:

@OntradingX Thanks, appreciate the support but I'm still struggling.

Copying the code & instructions above I get this error:

Also, is the last parameter Datatype ENUM_CALENDAR_EVENT_IMPORTANCE ?

Thanks

@OntradingX What adjusts are required? Could you send a screenshot?

@morteza-alishahi Is it working for you?

Has anybody been able to get this to work?

Hi all,

Thanks for sharing the great work @QuantEngineer

Should this work as a simple test?

It's not working for me currently as trades are still taken 2 minutes before and after economic calendar events.

Any advice?

Re: My backtest EA stops due to "Market closed" message in the Journal tab

Hi All,

Regarding the post mentioned above on the "Market Closed" issue...

I love fxDreema but this is the ONE REAL ISSUE that I have come across and can't find a way around. @fxDreema

I have tried the ideas that have been mentioned on the few posts on this matter but nothing works for me.

It is logical to expect that you are asking the EA to trade when the market is closed, and so the error occurs. But I don't think this is the case. Third party EAs do not show the same error within the same trading periods.

Does anyone know of a solution that works for this issue?

Thanks,

Dre

That's great - thank you!

Hi guys,

Is it possible to create a condition that calculates the amount of account equity drawdown within the current day?

Use example:

If the account equity drops below -$100 for the current day, stop trading

Thanks

@l-andorrà Ahh - perfect! Thank you mate!

Hi all,

Is it possible to calculate the distance between the different Bollinger Band levels and use the result as part of a condition?

Example:

Only open a trade if the Upper band is more than 5 pips away from the Lower band

Thanks,

Dre

@jstap Thanks a lot! Your method worked for me - cheers!

Hi all,

I am trying to use the "Relative to Start Time" option in the Time Filter but it doesn't seem to be working, unless I'm doing something wrong!

I imagine this (screenshot) should target from 23:00 - 01:00 (server time), which would be great but it's not working with this option (which I need to use as opposed to the "absolute" options, which work).

Any ideas? Thanks

@ambrogio Thank you very much - I will give it a try!

A 'negative Swap' is when you pay rather than receive interest between the two currencies of the pair that you are holding. That's my understanding.

I mean that I would like the EA to check if the Swap at rollover of a potential entry will be negative. If so, don't open it (as the Swap fee will affect the potential Risk/Reward of the trade, if scalping, for example)

Thanks.

I found this code but I'm not sure if it's useful or how I could implement it to do the above:

SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(),SYMBOL_SWAP_LONG)

Is this of any use for what I want to do?

I guess I want EA to read the Swap rate and then if it's negative, then do something

Is anyone aware of how we can best do this in fxDreema (i.e. Custom MQL Code, etc)?

Happy New Year All!

What is the simplest way for me to apply the following condition in fxDreema?:

If the Swap of an instrument is negative, do not open the trade

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

PLEASE DELETE (SORRY)

@roar Oh I see what you mean! I definitely wouldn't have been able to get it working without your help (very tricky!). It works! Thanks very much mate.

Hi @roar,

Thank you for your help. I don't think it works just yet but I can see your intention and I think it must be very close to working!

Please see my test project where I have made some small changes, and let me know if you have any ideas.

I think the issue might be with the variable in some way (unfortunately I'm not competent with variables).

To be more specific, I would like the trade/s to be closed once a candle closes below the Low of the candle with the Fractal Down.

Any help would be much appreciated (TIA),

Dre
