Always try to stay away from working with variables (temporary memory). EAs are made to open/modify/close trades and orders, and those trades and orders exist in the database of MetaTrader on the PC and on the server with all their values - SL, TP, OpenPrice, ClosePrice and so on... It's better to work only with those values and stay away from temporary local values that would be deleted forever in case of EA restart.

I don't know what you are doing, but in MQL4/MQL5 you can't define function within another function, all functions are on the same level

Outputs are not defined there. Outputs are defined here with ~next~ and ~inext~ http://i.prntscr.com/925dfd57926e46abb2 ... a47a1e.png

Check if this indicator is giving you some values with "Trace". Arrow indicators normally work for Candle ID > 0, but it depends.

"Indicator is visible" works similar to "Condition" with Indicator > 0. Put some "No trade" above, otherwise you will see many trades when the indicator finally starts to work

Check profit (unrealized) -> Close trades

Again, each of these blocks does it's job and don't care about the other, I mean they are not "connected". But if you are using the same filter settings - group, market and so on - the Close trades block will close those same trades that were checked in Check profit (unrealized)

I can see in the code that the indicator is called using only one integer parameter, which is 1 everywhere. There is very little chance for something to go wrong with indicator with only one parameter Maybe the error comes from the indicator?

Oh Hell No!

Why was I perfecting my sweet NodeJS server/framework/platform 1 whole year

Long time ago there was a tool to make candlestick patterns, but then I removed it. There are some blocks like Bulls in a row and Bears in a row, also Single candle template (for 1 candle only). I think that for such patterns there are indicators, I remember seeing such indicators before. In general, it's better to do such calculations with candles with indicators.

I don't even know what EX4s and Lopez are

Look at the right side, on the bottom. Hit "New" and write some function. Then you should be able to use this function in the blocks... if everything works in the Studio, because I don't know many people who use it and bugs are expected

Bucket blocks only create lists of trades. Then these lists can be read and different values can be obtained. Here is the example: https://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-bucket-trades

Blocks such as "Close profitable trades" does not care about the lists that Bucket blocks created. These blue blocks are just doing their job and they are self-sufficient.

"string" parameters

What do you want to do with these arrays? Because working with arrays in MT4/MT5 is not very pleasant. You can try to write some custom functions in the Studio and use them instead. I also use many functions for all these blocks, with many static parameters inside them.

Screenshot or something?

I don't have your indicator. What are the values in both cases, what is different between them?

Yes, the idea is that this block can work normally (trailing SL when profiting) and like in mirror (trailing TP when losing).

You also have "Opposite stop mode" in "More settings". By Opposite stop I mean TP if the block trails SL and SL if the block trails TP. But this option is optional and will not prevent SL from trailing. The chance is that you will push TP further and further and never reach it

Anyway, there is a way to make fancy things with these blocks: https://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-loop-trailing-stop Here I show basic version of normal trailing stop, but I guess that you can turn the things around

O, H, L and C values from every visible bar, and even from bars in different timeframes are already available: http://prntscr.com/d1xb54

Candle ID = 0 => this means the current bar. The previous bar is when Candle ID = 1

You are the first one I know who realized to use Value instead of Terminal Variables People are still confused with these Terminal Variables, but what can I do... they are actually called Global Variables in MT4, which is even more misleading

I don't understand indicators very well. What I know is that their output buffers are arrays, and the indicator itself is a program that fills those arrays. Yes, indicators can also draw objects on the chart, EAs also can, but these objects are not linked with the output buffers. Once I tried to make some indicator and it was not that hard, but I don't feel competent enough to tell you exactly what to do

Custom blocks are functions. Whatever code you write, it will be put into a function. This function does not have real input arguments and should not have. The input parameters from the block are hard-coded into the function, at the top, this happens automatically while generating the EA.

What you have is a function. Instead of custom block, you can try to put this into a function. While you are in the Studio, look at the right side on the bottom. Then click New and paste this code. Then you should be able to use this function in the blocks... but by name, like in MQL
