Hello, I use EAs with a martingale money managment where there is no hard SL set. To fulfill requirements of certain funded trader programs, I need to have a Hard SL set on each trade of the basket (i.e. a separate EA which just closes all trades when specific DD is reached will not be enough). Can this be done with FX Dreema, and maybe there is some solution available here?

Example: Max loss USD 2000

-1 lot bought at 1.12

Separate FX Dreema EA (or available EA Trade Manager) should set hard SL on the trade corresponding to USD 2000 loss if triggered

-2 lots bought at 1.11

Separate EA trade manager should reset all SL on all trades which corresponds to overall USD 2000 loss if triggered

This should exist I hope and I would be glad if you can point me towards the right apporach with FX Dreema or existing solution you might know? In my experience it is quite common that many EAs calculate hidden SLs but do not set hard SL, so I would be glad if there is a solution to this issue.

Great, thanks! Still testing but this has solved the issue I think.

Ok, thanks, I had to create a new block for each candle, which was a lot of work but seems to achieve what I wanted.

But I have a new problem:
As the algo reads through 28 FX pairs, I put at the top of each block the "Set Current Market for Next Blocks" block, with a constant consisting of all FX pairs (so I dont have to attach to 28 pairs x2 (as I look at 30M and 1H). What happens now is that if it finds a signal on 1 pair, it will place a trade for this pair. But because I have the "No trade/order" block at the end of each block, it will not place orders for a 2nd, 3rd etc. pair if a new signal is found? How can I restrict the "No trade/order" block to apply only to 1 pair and one direction (i.e. there should be only 1 sell in EUR/USD and 1 buy in EUR/USD, and the same for anyother pair, just not 2x or more a buy or sell in any pair).

Thanks!

Hello guys, I am trying to achieve the following.
I have an indicator which indicates when a double top or double bottom forms (not repainting). When this happens, I want to wait for a pullback to the middle of the structure (see screenshot point 1), to place a pending order (i.e. for double top, place a sell stop at the signal line, see point 2 in screenshot).
The custom indicator is correctly imported as I use it successfully for another system. I tried to do this project, but no orders are placed and no order triggered: https://fxdreema.com/shared/Df2d9HnDd

My approach:

1. First group of blocks: When the red candle forms (uniquely identified by value 12 and value 14 of the custom indicator being visible), I store the 4 relevant points in 4 variables via formula and modify variables blocks (entry point at red signal line, SL at upper line, TP (= 1:1 RR), pullback trigger line which is in the middle between the SL line and the signal line).
2. The second group of blocks checks at every tick if the price exceeds the pullback trigger line. In case this happens, a pending order is set with the parameters calculated in the first block.

Do you have any idea why the current logic / blocks don't yield the expected results?

Example:

Thank you. Yes, this worked. I noticed also something weird as I couldn't make it work first (no trades in the Strategy Tester). As I purchased the indicator in MQL5 shop it was stored under Market. Only once I removed it and placed it in the general folder, the algo worked as expected.

Anyway thanks a lot!

Hi, I get the following compilation error due to importing a custom indicator with some errors I guess. Can you help?((
This is the project:

This is the error:

This is the original indicator in MT4:

This is how I imported it:

Hi, I am getting the below errors when compiling, looks like the issue is how to import the Sound File of the custom indicator? How should it be done (couldn't find a reference)?

Hi, I get the below list of compilation errors. I do not have many blocks in this project and I really don't have a clue where these come from? Any ideas?

Thanks a lot for your inputs

Thanks, I added screenshot and comments in this thread (https://fxdreema.com/forum/topic/10484/issue-with-reading-indicator-arrows-indicator-visible/2) . But the problem is I believe not the mapping of the buffers, but how to catch repainting candles correctly (I tried the box "On additional candles to be visible" to 4 as thats the delay I believe, but I can't make it work (i.e. still only the arrows appearing on candle ID = 0 trigger trades, the others don't.

Hi, yes thanks there is some repainting actually, I think after some observation that it could be 3-4 candles later. So I added to the box "On additional candles to be visible" the number 4, but it still doesnt help, still no trades triggered except the ones appearing on candle ID = 0. Is there anything else I could try?
If not I will have to stick to the signals I can capture and add some MM and trailing stops.

Thanks if you have any ideas how to capture the repainting candles (even with some delay these would add value when combined with MM I believe).

Hi, there please let me know if you find a solution. I have a similar problem here where I cant read all signals (buffer values) provided by my indicator:
https://fxdreema.com/forum/topic/10484/issue-with-reading-indicator-arrows-indicator-visible/3

I looked at the backtest of your indicator briefly and only visually and even though it repaints I think it can be very interesting with a trend filter and some good MM, but I didnt look at doing an EA out of it yet. I will follow this thread but the issue is similar I think.

Thanks a lot for the tip. The trace function is helpful. However, in this case I still don't understand the issue.
I copy below the screenshot from the Strategy Tester. Out of the 3 highlighted blue arrows (with corresponding buffer "3rd vul" showing a number), only 1 trade is taken. Same for the red arrows that follow. On average only 1/3 - 1/2 of signals trigger a trade. I don't see any repainting in the backtest, what else could cause this?

Hi there,
I struggle with reading the arrows of a custom indicator to trigger trades.
The indicator will print an arrow on the current candle (index 0), but it can be at any time (i.e. lets say it is a 1m candle and it prints after 27 seconds and then it stay, no repainting). I use the Indicator Visible specifying candle 0, but no trade is triggered. I am pretty sure the buffer values are correctly assigned, so maybe something with the logic is wrong.

Thanks anyone if you have some suggestions:

Thanks so much

Thanks a lot CPBonzo. Works perfectly now.

Hi there,
Could somebody have a look at my Donchian Channel system. I am testing it in the Strategy Tester but it is not even generating trades? Not sure why. I imported an external DC indicator, if there is a function embedded in fxDreema (indicator, or just highest highs of last x candles), thanks for letting me know!

Thanks for the input. Very helpful. I restructured the project and it works now.

Solution: https://fxdreema.com/shared/b4VvEZ81d

Dear friends,
I use a custom indicator (ADR crossing) to enter long and short trades. I want the EA to enter buy when a blue arrow appears (i.e. short when red arrow appears). However, my first attempts failed as the EA I created does not trigger any buys or sells when arrows appear.

Question: For such a case, do I use Indicator Visible or Indicator Appears. I tried both and didnt work for me in both cases, so maybe the issue is another one.

Thanks for any feedback. It's quite powerful function as I have many interesting indicators so would be great for me to master this. Thanks for your help!

Picture of the indicator:

Correct, it worked out somehow today. Thanks again.

Thanks a lot, your comment on point 1) was crucial. I missed it.
I still left +10 here as it is for BTC trading (i.e. 10 points) only and my broker takes Pips in this case as 0.10 (too small for BTC). Or I could put +1000pips. But it"s noted for my futures projects.

This is the new version and it works really well I think: https://fxdreema.com/shared/fRzMQWi7
