Re: Creating EA to buy when price crosses below Bollinger Band

Hi, I am posting this question here as the earlier post that did not have a solution was 4 years ago and I wasn't sure if that would be picked up by users if I posted there. Apologies for my ignorance.

I am trying to build a simple strategy on 5 minutes. When current price crosses below lower bollinger band, then it must take one long position and after that when the current price crosses above middle bollinger band then it must close that long.

The strategy works fine but the only issue is that it doesn't take a long every time the current price crosses below bollinger band. I'd say 5 out of 10 times it does exactly how I have explained above, but the other 5 times, it doesn't I. E. the current price crosses below the band, yet it doesn't take a trade and also at times when it must close the trade, it doesn't. I am talking about live market here and not backtesting.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks

@rahim-1 awesome man. works great. thanks!!

@roar I don't have any manual trades open. I just have a few trades open from this EA (lets call it EA1)and I have a few trades open from another EA (lets call it EA2) on US30. I only want to close trades that are opened by EA1 when the above condition is met

@jsauter86 sorry i dont understand. I want profit as the sum of money from all open trades from the EA1 in US30. I have another EA2 running on US30 on another tab of MT4. I don't want trades from EA2 to be considered when evaluating the sum of profit.

Thanks. Here is the link

?? Anything anyone can help??

Hi @l-andorrà , please see link

Hi all, Do you know why my trade is not closing in actual, but in simulation it works perfectly. I deployed it on US30. I had to manually close out 2 trades when I saw that my trades were sitting on a total $28, when infact as per algo, they should have closed 2 hours ago when total reached $20. Just to be sure, I ran simulation on the same period and in simulation, algo did close those two trades exactly at the candle when total turned $20. I confirm there is not SL/TP in "Buy now" block. Please ask if you need any clarification or I have not elaborated to the extent I should have. Thanks in advance.

@biztet thanks. I tried a few variations and for me, high price works the best. Thanks for taking out time to advise.

Hi @biztet thankyou! Could you please advise what applied price should I use in Bollinger band lower band indicator, if I want to trigger a "long" trade the moment current price crosses below the lower band. There are 5-6 types of applied price available in the drop down menu and it's very confusing. Thanks

Hi @l-andorrà , could you please reply when you get a chance. Thankyou.

Hi members, I have greatly benefitted from fxdreema algo builder in the last 1 year, not only in terms of making side money but also the way I have learnt to think about candle execution, whatever chart or instrument that might be. So thankyou very much!
Question: When candle high (ID=0)>high price of upper band of bollinger band, algo doesnt trigger a short trade, even though it works fine in simulation. Note, long is triggered as expected in live trade, but it doesnt close, probably because long will only close after short trade triggers as per block sequence. Its a very basic algo, screenshot attached below but understanding how algos work for candle id=0 will pave the way for greater discoveries, hopefully!

Thanks @eks and @l-andorrà

@eks thanks. Any recommendations of server and cloud provider. Thanks

@behold if you have another buffer then apply that. Logic will be new buffer <=0. Should work. I think problem is that your green buffer is ID=0, and based on my experience, id 0 isn't read correctly read by that block. Let me know how you go.

Hi guys, first of all apologies if I am not able to be clear on my requirement but Ill still try below:

1. I want to download MT4 and deploy fxdreema EAs, on a remote desktop
2. After point 1, I want read/write access to the above remote desktop from around the world. Meaning, for example,I want to be able to login to this remote desktop, from, lets say, an internet cafe in London and then undeploy an EA I previously deployed from my home PC, by login into the remote desktop. Note, that I don't want an option wherein I have to first download MT4 on an unknown computer in an internet cafe before I login to a remote server from within MT4 to access my MT4 session because I wont have the flexibility to download MT4 on random computers.

I want to know what are my best options - I am unable to get my head around so much varied information on internet. VPS, remote desktop, remote desktop app, etc. etc.

Hope it makes sense and please ask if you have any questions.
Best regards

@l-andorrà thanks heaps. Thats all for now. Happy trading. Regards

@upstatecashew hi mate, sorry I didn't follow you. Are you saying you run your trades on virtual server? What's redundancy?
Regards

@trader-philipps hi mate that is very helpful, thanks heaps.
Question:

1. when I reopen my MT4, is there anywhere I can check what algos are deployed I. E. Active or inactive (yet to become active)?
2. Is the virtual server provided within MT4 anygood, if I want the algos to always be active?
   Thanks in advance

Hi, I have deployed two algo's on Crude Oil in two separate windows in MT4.
One is a "short trade" algo on D1 and another one is a "long trade" algo on H4.
My "short trade" algo is currently active and the "long trade" algo is not yet active (waiting for conditions to meet before it kicks in).
I am afraid, my algos might de-activate the moment I close my MT4 (or close the the two Crude Oil tabs i.e. D1 and H4) and switch off my laptop. Is that true?

1. If yes, how do I make sure my algos dont activate?
2. If no, how would I know that the active one is still active and the sleeping one is waiting to be activated, once I re-open MT4? I cant seem to find any menu option in MT4 to check which algos are deployed.

Can you please help.
Regards
