I missed to answer to this...

I don't know. The current prices are part of a straight line. I basically decided what to be the lowest price and what to be the highest price, and then I got the rest from the line that connects both. The longer the period, the cheaper the price (for each 1 month). Now look what would be the prices for 1 week and 1 day: http://prntscr.com/cpi4sk I think they are relatively expensive. I also don't understand why so many people prefer the currently most-expensive price anyway ($19 for 1 month)
Also, to be honest, almost from the beginning I was thinking about rising the prices, but they are still low (in my opinion)

That is why I don't like MT5. I fixed this error over and over again, there are so many checks in the code right now, but it still appears
I was able to get it, I will check it tomorrow.

jeansoleil, what you are asking for happens like this by default. Only if you change the Magic input parameter or set the blocks to work with manual trades, only then the EA could work with other trades

When you have 1 here - http://prntscr.com/cphvzh - the block turns into something like "Load only the newest trade"

Block 24 is not needed for block 23. This blue block is like multiple pink blocks, it has the loop inside and doesn't need to be run in other loops.

Normally indicators are used to calculate and draw things. The EA uses indicators data and decides when and how to trade. There are probably many different types of S and R indicators

But your TrailStopLoss shows the value of 0.80739 and SL is obviously set at this price. Only if the value of the variable changes, only then SL would change. The idea of this option is to control SL from outside the block, but to use the block because of its one-direction function, to keep SL moving only upwards and never downwards.

About the labels - they should be text, just write whatever you want there. The variable must be below, in Value1, Value2 or whatever. Now you have empty text there.

"Check profit (period of time)" works with server time, because Open and Close times of the trades are also based on these times

Candle Close > 200 EMA - this is easy, just use Condition block. For the 4 candles fall... try "Indicator fall" block

I think I have no control over this

+15pips is not a valid for "double" type variable (constant or whatever) at all. "double" variables - the values can be ONLY numeric values with floating point, such as 1.2345 or 2882.38387.

The value can be something like 0.0015 and then in "Adjust" you can put +ConstantName
The problem is that 0.0015 is a fixed number. Someone would recommend to write +toPips(ConstantName) and it will work, but this function is a custom function made by me, and at some point I may decide to change it or remove it

The second output in most blocks means "the opposite situation of the first output". For "Once per bar", the first output runs 1 time per bar. So when is the second output active? It is active for all the other ticks in the candle after the first one

What to do: Connect block 2 after the orange output of block 1

Here is how it works:

Here I dynamically change the level to be 100 pips below Candle Open. You can see where SL is changed and its exact prices. Note that those prices goes only in one direction

The value for Trailing Stop can be dynamic, but SL moves only in one direction, it doesn't work backwards. If let's say for some reason SL is higher than what is set in the Trailing Stop block, this SL will not be moved downwards, it will stay at it's level. In other words, if SL is too short, it is not touched.

I surrender with this question

The only block that does iterate through candles and comparing indicator values is "Indicator moves within limits", but this block does not output anything. The other way to get some information is via "More options" when you are using custom indicators, because only for custom indicators there are more options in "More options" The other way is to use "Loop (pass N times)", but because this block is too basic and there is no break mechanism, I would not use it for this case.

What else... you can set some Variable and remember the price when the crossover happens, but when the EA is restarted, this information will be lost. And this information works only in forward direction.

I think the best would be to have some custom indicator that outputs the information you need. Unfortunately fxDreema cannot build indicators

Try the block named "Check profit (period of time)"

For this particular example I can see that Virtual Stops are enabled, which means that you have horizontal lines instead of hard stops. By default this option is not enabled.

People who use fxDreema would report to me so many errors if their EAs suddenly starts producing errors. So, for many processes, if something is not quite right, it will still work somehow. For example, whatever value you put for lot size - too small or too big - the EA will calculate the nearest possible value and will take it instead.

I have no idea, you are the first one to say such thing. I personally only use the optimization rarely, when I play with some idea, and usually with max. 2-3 parameters at a time. Other people complain that optimization process is too slow, but I never heard something about input restrictions. Maybe there is something, I don't know, but you should have some error message if something is wrong

You know... I should say that pink blocks and blue blocks are not to be mixed, but if you look at the examples...

https://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-loop-how-it-works
https://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-loop-trailing-stop
... I think it becomes obvious.

I don't see any trade-making block, so I suppose that you want to work with manually created trades. Guess what, by default no EA should work with manually created trades and that's why something called Magic Number exists. Which is something I don't want to explain here, so just set this at 0 and don't forget that this EA is meant to work with manualy created trades: http://prntscr.com/cojbbb

If you want to make the Trailing stop to only work beyond some profit, look at its "Trailing Start" options.

The problem is that the default button is more like a switch, so I added small custom code to "depress" is automatically. As a result, now it looks like rectangle with text

For .mq4/.mq5 files you need MetaEditor. I believe that when you start MetaTrader, it finds all .mq* files without .ex* and compiles them automatically.
fxDreema outputs .mq* or .ex* files. If you choose to output .ex* file, it is compiled on the server. If you are using the desktop version... I think it uses embedded compiler, which is kinda old now.

Yes, I use the word "Group" from the beginning. When you use this parameter, then behind each Group number there is a different Magic Number. Basically this "Group" parameter allows you to control trades with multiple Magic Numbers. It's something like multiple EAs in 1 EA
