While you have an arrow, it's the same as it is a line, the value of the buffer at that time is the price where the arrow is. But arrows appear only here and there. What is going on in the other candles where there are no arrows? For these candles the value that the indicator gives you is EMPTY_VALUE, which is a predefined constant and contains the maximum integer value (2147483647). It's some huge value, that's all. MT4 knows how to react on this value. Some indicators may use 0 instead.

So, there are some blocks in a special category for indicators. But also Condition can do the job. In Condition, if one of the sides equals to EMPTY_VALUE, the block does not pass at all. So you can do this condition [Indicator > 0] and the block will only pass when there is an arrow. This is also what the "Indicator is visible" block does.

"Indicator appear" is also interesting, check it's description. Also in Condition, a crossover with some value like 1000 detects something - imagine that for the previous candle the indicator was 2147483647 and for the current candle it is 1.2345, which means that it crossed 1000

I'm not very good with indicators and I don't know how exactly this happens, but you can see it yourself. Start the EA in Visual Mode. Let it draw the pink line from Trace. Add the indicator and watch. You will see that always for the current candle the pink line and the indicator's line match, but for the past few lines the indicator's line is repainted. The pink line does not show those repaints.

I remember talking about ideas of making it possible to make one chain of blocks for both - buys and sells - where the final block will be something like "Trade now" instead of "Buy now" or "Sell now". This is still in my ideas, but I think that the idea is very good and I will eventually make it true, hopefully soon.

Window pop ups?

Anyway, whan any EA does in general is to check how many trades exists, to check some other things and to create new trades. "Buy now" and "Sell now" blocks, when you run them, they are going to make a new trade every time. So the should manage how often these blocks run. How... with other blocks such as "No trade", "Once per bar", "Condition" or others. Blocks like "No trade" also have filter settings inside.

In most blocks you can specify particular symbol (Market name) and the block will work with it. If you don't want to write the same symbol name in multiple blocks, you can use some Constant. Or you can use this block "Set Current Market for next blocks". But note that if you put the EA under EURUSD (let's say), it will still work because of the ticks in EURUSD, the EA is still under control of EURUSD.

Note that in MT4 it's not possible to backtest more than 1 symbol (the current one)

I personally don't backtesti very often, especially on MT5, especially with multiple pairs. In other words, with this I'm newbie If you tell me what doesn't work as expected and probably what should I do about it, I will think about the problem. Now I don't understand what is this correlation

fxDreema produces Expert advisors - source code files (mq4, mq5) or compiled files with the latest compiler (ex4, ex5). Very often MetaQuotes make some changes and newly generated files can't work with older versions. I'm not updating the compiler on the server very often, but it was these days that I put the latest version. It's possible that the ex4 file is not compatible with your MT4 version, I don't know. If you compile it by yourself, it should work.

I don't know, to be honest. All "Draw... " blocks are pretty simple and they do exactly that - creating/updating objects on the chart. I don't really know how more complicated things happen

Only .csv can be written, which means "comma-separated values" and can be read from Excel. This format .xlsx is from Microsoft Office and we all know that Microsoft products are all paid, so I don't think that someone even tried to make something like this.

Very very general example https://fxdreema.com/shared/2cXEhR9Ec

I don't know. I used old version of ExeOutput for PHP to generate this .exe. Some people reported that problem, but I don't understand desktop programs very well and I don't know why this error appears.

Use "Close Trades" instead of this "close" block. Also, in those blue blocks there are few filters, so you can make them work only for Buys or only for Sells. Now the problem is most probably that a trade is created and then immediately closed.

Variables explained: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeoGGabJhAQ

"Once per trades" is a filter, it's not a driver. When you have blocks under "on Tick", each one that is on top level (no connection on top, connection from the bottom) runs on every tick. "Once per trades" counts trades and passes when it detects that few trades were created... or something like that, I honestly forgot what it does

You can also use a Variable to store and get value from it. You can set the variable to contain the value of 100, then check that value as many times you want, and set it to 105 at any time.

Well, I put this EA to test and I got some positions, so please define "not work"?

I think you also need to use those those constants in the blue blocks. But what is the point of constants named like this. I mean, wll you ever set the value of EURUSD to something different than "EURUSD"?

When there is no trade at all, Balance = Equity. When you open a trade the Balance stops moving and remains the same, while Equity shows the current amount of money you have. Balance stays the same until all trades are closed.

In "Condition" you can use Balance, Equity or Profit, which is their difference (Equity - Balance). Again, these values show the general amount of money you have in the account. All trades can change them - trades made by the EA, trades made by another EA, trades made manually.

There are few blocks that can extract profits from already closed trades: http://prntscr.com/c89vts

"Indicator is visible" should pass if the indicator has value different than EMPTY_VALUE or 0
"Indicator appear" should pass if the indicator has value different than EMPTY_VALUE or 0, and in it's previous run the indicator's value was EMPTY_VALUE or 0

I will suggest to use EMPTY_VALUE in your indicator instead of 0. But why there are no positive values in the candles where arrows can be seen... I don't know. I'm not very good with indicators, but when an arrow appears, the buffer should contain value that is positive (the price level).
