If you only use it to backtest, then fine. Otherwise dealing with the server is done in a terrible way and too often unpredictable things happen. Also, coding for MQL5 is much worse with it's orders, deals and positions. I don't wonder why 5 years after it came out, it still can't beat MT4.

RE: Channel Brakeoutposted in Questions & Answers
I'm looking at indicators only as a piece of code, so I don't even remember what channel indicators do
But there are buffers, buffers are read from the EA and checked, and that's how the EA decides what to do. This is the case will all indicators in general

RE: MT4 backtesting dilemmasposted in Questions & Answers
If you are not forced to use MT5, don't even think about it. MT5 is such a crap, so I am even thinking about dumping it from fxDreema. But people in Brazil are forced to use it, so...
Only strategy that uses 1 trade(position) at a time can be the same in MT4 and MT5. I tend to keep most block and most features for both exactly the same, but there are sime differences in blocks that I still need to fix. You can always copy blocks from MT5 project to MT4 project, but then it's a good idea to check them.

RE: I want the EA to show the consecutive lossesposted in Questions & Answers
You can try this: http://prntscr.com/7mw89j
But because statistics calculations will be turned on, the EA will become slower for backtest. And by the way I'm not sure how correct the value will be. And the value is also global, it does not care what is the magic number of trades. -
RE: Compiling error......posted in Bug Reports
Interesting...
CHART_IS_OFFLINE is relatively new constant that should exist in the newest versions of MetaTrader. Well, because the MQL4 compiler no longer comes as a standalone file in MetaTrader installations, such compiler is packed in fxDreema and is automatically extracted before compiling a new file. But the compiler that is in fxDreema is also relatively new, so I have no idea from where this error comes from. It works fine for me and I have no other reports about such problem from others.
Anyway, here are the latest compilers by MetaTrade, 32 and 64 bit. These are standalone .exe files and fxDreema searches for them from multiple places. From it's own /Data subfolder or from the folder where MetaTrader is installed. Try to put mql.exe in Data/ and let's see what will happen?

RE: Candle Breakposted in Questions & Answers
Try the Adjust field. You can write there something like +0.0005 or even +5pips. Better read the description of "Condition"

Well, each block from the list has some explanation

RE: How to check through indicator values for a number of candleposted in Questions & Answers
I don't really recommend creating such loops in fxDreema, mostly because they can't be stopped and they are heavier than the native code. Also, normally indicators does not need this, because they contain loop and calculations, they should give you what you want directly. But sometimes someone wants to extend them a little bit, there is a block named "Indicator moves within limits" for some specific scenario. But again, it's best if the indicator itself is giving the value that is needed

RE: countsposted in Questions & Answers
"Once a day" can be used to limit this to 1 time in the day, then "Buy now", "Sell now", some "Condition"...

RE: Why doesnt this code workposted in Questions & Answers
Here is something that still does not work, but I'm using variables here instead of formula blocks and I also use the newest "Draw Line" block to draw lines. I also added "Indicator tester" for you to actually see where the low price is. The problem is that it is recalculated on every tick and look at what value it gets: http://prntscr.com/7kghqw Candle 0 is used in this calculation!

RE: Starting EA in tester with a specified template activeposted in Questions & Answers
True, I first add things into the web version, which does not mean that they will appear into the local one. But I think I need to update it already, so I will push a new version later.
By the way, why do you prefer the local version?

RE: FXD EA has issue trading symbol that uses 0.5point incrementposted in Questions & Answers
Maybe you are doing something wrong. I don't know, and no one ever reported that SL ot TP does not work when they are set on the right side of the open price. Are you sure that you are not placing SL or TP on the other side?
Or if there is really something with this 0.5 point, can you tell me the broker so I can test it, and some simple project if possible.

RE: Draw data from different MT4 accountsposted in Questions & Answers
I don't know for any function that can select other account and get data from it. I think that MetaTrader itself is only capable of connection to 1 account at a time
