Hi,

late reply from me - issue is solved.
Used a global Variable in your loop blocks to set the name.

But good to know I was not too blind to find it

Hi,

I have an indicator generating Rectangles with Variable names (date and time in name changes).
I currently use the prefix check function as this is always the same to loop through the objects and find some specific ones.

As some problems come up with this, I like to save an object name, after I found it with the prefix check to a Variable. Is this easily possible with fxdreema functions ?

greetings

Right, forgot to change to object description

thanks

Hi there,

I have a question regarding text labels on a chart. I have an indicator showing things like "rising trend" or "falling trend" as a text label on the chart.

I like to compare in a condition block if text in that label equals "rising trend"
I tried using objects in the condition block but I do not seem to find a text label object that I could put to == text.

I could do it as you show here
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2498&p=6205&hilit=text+label#p6205

But I do not find that option in the condition block anymore. Is there another way to do it ?

Thanks

Hi there,

I made a custom indicator (modified from the original version).
Its an S&R Indi (the one you know from the past maybe), that draws this zones.

Now I modified the indi to adapt ZigZag Parameters, that are responsible for drawing the zones. This indi has about 12 more parameters defined in its code as external variables.

I imported this indi successfully into fxdreema. The indi itself also compiles fine and behaves as it should with the new parameters. Now if I put that Indi into a condition block and try to compile, I receive a compile error when doing the ex4, which tells me "Wrong parameters count"

Please see here

Thats the error at the condition block where the indi is initialized with all its parameters. Now, I googled but cant find it out. Why do the new parameters lead to an issue in compiling ?

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Andy

Hi there,

gread addition with the indicators, hope I can now test some things I was not able to do so in the past.

I like to play around with the color function to be able to read colors from, lets say, a Heiken Ashi indicator showing red and blue candles.
As I never found an HA indi with buffers to read the direction from, I like to add the color that is also displayed on the chart.

Now I am unsure how to do this with the inputs and outputs. Just read an article about MT4 datatypes but I dont know how to apply this to an indicator.

Well, if its not asked to much, might you do an example with the Indicator attached, telling how to modify this one to be able to read out the color ?
No need to write long explanations, a simple example would be enough to find out how it works, so it shouldnt be too much of work for you

Btw. Thanks for solving that last issue with BE and Trail together, this works perfect now

Cheers

Theras2000, I guess that one attached works as you like to have it ?

Just one sell example....different ways to achieve this, so this example just uses variables for go or "not go" and stops if a trade encounters SL until RSI gets below 50

See the "On Trade" Events

I guess this should work, test it ^^

Ok this is really strange. I cannot find the error atm.

But I know what is causing the error. If I do the example with with Lot Size 2 it goes wrong, closing the full 2 lots instead of 50%

If I do the same with 1 Lot, it works perfect as we want it.

Let me write you a pm...

Thanks for the normalize IDs hint, great one ^^

I am just testing this on Demos with a colleague. We are actually confused atm, so give me some more time to test, we are not sure whats going on so I report here later

Hi there,

I seem to have an issue with close partly volume in a loop

Please take a look at this screen, this is how close partly is done in this EA

http://prntscr.com/20pdrc

Now this seems to work in Backtest. On a Demo Account its closing wrong.
http://prntscr.com/20pdyz

This was 2 Lots initial size. Its closing 2x 1 Lot instead of just 1x 1 Lot (the Constant has 50 entered so it should close 50% of the volume)
Is there anything possible why this works fine in Backtest but not on a Demo / Live Account ?

Cheers
Andy

I think I understand what you mean. Well maybe not completely, but I get it overall

Would be great if you could find some way to fix this in future revisions. My current EAs are using calculations based on Risk Reward factors only. So I always use % of SL size for everything (Like TP, distance for entries, start of be or trailing, trailing size, partial close at %of SL etc....)

Let me know if you need screens on this, I send you then by pm

Hello,

I wonder if there is a bug using trailing and Break Even Conditions both together on trades.

Example:
The EA has a trade running, it starts BE at 100% of SL and Trailing at 200% of SL

Now I noticed once the BE starts if a trade reaches 100% SL of Profit, it modifies the trade correctly and sets it BE. The fact it sets this trade BE leads to the trailing Stop kicking in immediately after the BE was set. I tried to reconstruct it in several ways and it looks to me that once a trade is modified via BE, trailing always kicks in immediately after that modify. Even if the trailing target to start is not reached.

Like if the BE marks the trade in some way so the trailing block thinks it can start now. Could this be the way ?

Cheers

see screenshot

Just as a comparison, if thats not printing, I dont know it ^^

On another EA I can see its calculating SL and TP sizes wrong now. Ohoh

OK I see. actually the EA has not set any specific pair so I do not think the error is related to this. I think (if I remember correct) I had a Zero divide in the past when some input variable or some formula lead to a not-OK calculation or so....

But as I have 440 Blocks in this EA its not that easy to find out
Is there anything I can do to enhance logging on where that Zero Divide occurs ?
I guess not because its fully compiled at that point...

About the filesize:
Ah ok, that sound reasonable

fyi, EA uses 1 imported custom indicator. But I see in the first candles the indi works and stops after the zero divide

Hmm one more strange thing.

Just did an export mq4 and ex4 of an ea. After testing (a working version, no changes) in MT4 it works afew seconds and then I receive a Zero Divide in the journal of MT4, stopping the EA.

Also, somehow I can see a different file size when exporting the EX4 from FXdreema and by compiling in Metaeditor.

If done in Metaeditor, file size is 180 KB, compiling by FXDreema results in 210KB.
Anyway, both ex4 files return the zero divide in logs.

As it is compiling OK I am unsure what I can do to find out about the error ?
Can you help me?

oh, you already got it fixed. Thought this would take you longer to do

Just tested it and it looks all ok now again, great work

Another information, looks like every block contains only Account Information on the left and right side, no matter its a formula, condition block or something else
