Hello,

I am searching for an easy way to close all trades on Friday evening before market close.
I am struggling with the time filters and atm I do not find an easy way to achieve this.

Maybe I am blind right now, but can you please tell me an easy way to do this ?

Thanks
Andy

Great, I got it to work with the buffers...still would be interesting how to achieve it without them and instead using the colors

cheers
Andy

ok I think I get it. Did some successful tests on trend channel indicators

As I keep experimenting with different indicators, I now have a new issue. Attached is an indicator having 3 buffers and in general changing color from "DeepSkyBlue" to "PaleVioletRed"

I exported buffer values to an excel file. I could possibly work with the buffer values, but the indicator logic in this case looks strange to me. Not sure how it uses that buffers for the trend change.

I simply like to open a buy if color is "DeepSkyblue" and close it if it changes to "PurpleVioletRed" and add a sell order.

what would I have to do to grab the color and color changes directly from the charts ? As its no objects in this case...

Thanks for any help

or e.g. what happens if I choose the trendline name and select property "Price Level 1" or something else...thats just my missing part

ok, I seem to get some values here. One thing is not clear for me.

Lets say I choose object by name, and enter the name of the trendline.
What does "Property" now exactly mean ? If I choose trendline, I get the values, if I choose "color" I do not get values.

I dont get the logic for what property means here. Can you clarify please ?

lol

btw. Obj names are

"LowLine" color used "Red"
"MidLine" color used "White"
"UppLine" color used "SkyBlue"

Hi,

I am using a custom indicator drawing a trend channel on the chart. The indicator has no buffers. So I would like to get values from the trendlines where I have the object name of.

The indicator is attached. It draws 3 lines.
An upper one, middle one and a low one...

I am aware that there are other indicators like that using buffers, but I came across this problem for me several times, where I had the need to get values from lines on the chart or arrows. Would be great to get an example from you on how to use the lines from the indicator attached to generate buys/sells.

Cheers

ok I will try this and post the results here

Hello,

is there any way to make sure an order / pending order gets executed ? I saw on a non ECN Account a pending order was passed but not traded as a requote was received.

Any possibility to have the EA try again if a requote occurs ? Thanks

Hi there,

sorry for the late reply.
I did test the strategy you created and thats exactly what I meant. So the function works as expected.

And yes you are right, that strategy is not final
Found some good settings while optimizing in backtester, but the strategy needs some more logic to get better...have to think about that

Thanks again for your help, cheers

Hello,

I have now let it run on a Demo for 1 day.

It looks like everything is working, including closing logic IF there is only 1 trade open. I saw it closed 3 trades perfectly with 100 in profit, but there was just that single trade open.

I saw it closed this night a basket of 8 trades, but this time in sum with a profit of 500 and not 100.
So what I see in backtests is the same, sometimes it closes with the 500, sometimes with a minus, sometimes with a completely different plus. The closing logic seems to fail when more than 1 trade is open.

I used the ex4 from your example provided for this test. Do you have any idea what is happening here ? I have no errors in the log at all.

Regards
andy

thanks!

It still does not seem to work in a backtest as it should. Its not closing right.
But as this could be backtest related, let me check that on a Demo when markets come back online.

I will post results tomorrow.

Cheers
Andy

Thanks for the reply

Attached a new project file
I tried the condition block with "trades in loop" and without, it seems not to work with closing the trades at 100 Profit. Can you please have a look ?

For the formula part, I am not sure I understand. In the backtest it looks like it is multiplying with 2 correctly, but just not closing the trades correctly.

Cheers

Hello site admin,

first of all, gratulations to your amazing software. I tried all the other EA creators before finding yours and fxdreema is the only one providing the flexibility needed to create EAs.
Just bought it.

I have a problem completing a project. Attached the project file for review if you can help me.

What the bot should do:

1. Open 1 pending buy and 1 sell. Defined lets say 20 pips away from price.
2. Now the bot is a price follower. If price triggers a pending, the other pending is deleted and 2 new ones are created both again 20 pips away from that point then.
3. A multiplicator formula is used here, so every pending order is multiplicated by 2 in volume size. (somehow I am not able to use values like 1.5, or 1,5....seems to work only with a full number)
4. Now it has a trades loop to check all open trades for a profit defined in account currency. In the project file its set to 100
5. If this is reached, it should close ALL trades, and start again from the scratch.

It seems to work until the point where it should close trades if profit ammount is reached, this does not work in the backtests I tried. I did not try this yet on a normal demo account though.

Can you give me a hint please why this is not working the way it should ? Might this be a backtesting issue or is my logic defined wrong ? Thanks in advance

Andy
