I don't have your indicator. If this indicator creates objects, these objects can look very different, they can be arrows, lines, circles... and text. Each object has unique name. Text objects may show any text, but they also have their unique names. You can see object's names when you go to Objects List (Ctrl+B) in MetaTrader. Depending on the names of the objects (sometimes they are the same every time, sometimes they are different) you can select those objects and get information out of them.

Of course, the best is if the indicator is giving you information via its buffers. Only work with objects if there is nothing for you in the buffers

You can use "Once per bar" somewhere: https://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-once-per-bar
Or other block from this category

I understand that you have problems with the block But I'm also trying to explain how this particular block now works. I believe that we are thinking about different things when we say "winning side"

If you want any new Buy trade to be opened only above the latest Buy trade, there is a way to do this as well, with different blocks. Something like this: https://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-loop-add- ... me-on-loss

What error messages do you see in the logs in MetaTrader?

How do people still find that desktop version, this is very strange to me

If you can't select blocks from the list and put them on the empty field, then something wrong happened with the current project. If you can't make new one, then you can go somewhere in fxDreema/Data/ and do something with the files. All projects are stored in files, but there are also few text files with information such as the last loaded project. File extensions are not important, all files are text files.

The type of the pending orders is determined automatically, this is from the very beginning. I personally never knew what is limit and what is stop, for me pending orders are few types - buy above, buy below, sell above, sell below. So, the block will put the order at the requested price and the type will be whatever the type should be at that price - stop or limit.

SL is also very direct. If Part3 contains value of some price level that is correct (on the right side of the open price), then there is no reason for this SL level to not be applied. But error appears, then I guess that something is not calculated correctly. The chance for a bug in the block is much smaller

People often put shared versions of their projects here in the forum. I personally don't make EAs, especially complex ones. After years of programming everything in my head tells me "make it simple, make it simple". I have seen projects with more than 1000 blocks, but to be honest, I think that this is overkill. I can only recommend to make your projects as simple as possible

Again, I believe that we understand the word "winning side" differently.

Back then, people wanted to check if there are orders around the current price. If the current price is let's say 100, are there orders around that price - either above or below the price? This is the question, are there orders nearby? Not only above or only below, but nearby, above OR below the current price.

And I added this option for flexibility. Each order has some invisible range around its OpenPrice and if the current price falls into this range, then the trade is too close and the block won't pass. The option only allows to shift the range a little bit. But again, that range is few pips around OpenPrice, few pips above the OpenPrice or few pips below the OpenPrice. That range is NOT from 0 to few pips above the OpenPrice. It's also not from few pips below the OpenPrice to infinity.

If you have one Buy trade at 100 and the current price is 50, then this trade is not nearby 50, because 100 is far far away. The trade is somewhere above in the skies, but not nearby 50. Also, there can be Buy trade at 25, which is still far away from 50.

This is the way I made this block, what can I do now Maybe there can be another set of options to choose between Above and Below/Only Above/Only Below, but my initial idea of the block was as I explained. It just happens that multiple trades are created when working with the winning side.

Yes, candle 1 is the one on the left side of the current candle, the previous candle.

This block works with values from multiple candles, so 10 means that the values from 10 candles will be checked. Not only candle 1 and candle 11. If I'm not wrong, values from candles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 will be checked.

Exception of few candles... Yes, this is if you want to allow the rules to fail for few candles

You have some conflict with the break even point, which sets SL to 25 pips right after the trade is created

Pending orders turn into running trades on the server. This message "Too short SL requested" is on the EA side, this message comes from the EA when it tries to open new trade/order or change stops. I don't believe that a pending order is opened correctly and then when that order turns into trade, such error message appears. Most probably the SL is not correct when trying to send the pending order

No, no, without MQL4\Experts

jeansoleil, indicators communicate with EAs via their output buffers. Check if this indicator has such buffers and check their values with "Trace" block

Also set this: http://prntscr.com/cl6q5o

Sorry, I was on vacation

I added Scale fix and Scale fix One on One. I wonder if I also need to add those maximum and minimum values... do you need them as well?

For the "more than 10 pips" part, look at the "Adjust" field. You can use something like "+0.0010" or even "+10pips" in it. Better look at the description of Condition.

To get any candle's value go to "Candle" in Condition. You will see that you can get a candle by it's relative "Candle ID" or by it's time

Look in the "Objects List" for object's names

There must be inputs from those that come after checking the checkboxes? Because there are no Constants defined. I don't know what happened, but I recommend to use Constants (Inputs) instead of these checkboxes

Those parameters that come from the checkboxes can't be renamed. That's why... https://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-constants

But what is not working - there are no trades at all, too many trades...? Error messages?
