How can it be...

You wrote SL=200, TP=100

The open price is 1.30000 and eventually now SL=1.29980. The difference is exactly 0.0002. This is not 200 pips, it's not 20 pips, this is 2 pips!
Where is TP? 1.30010 - 1.30000 = 0.0001, means 1 pip.

How can the price move up with 50 pips when TP is only 1 pip and SL is only 2 pips?

Now, what is 1 pip. Most often this is 0.0001. In 5-digits broker this also can be 10 points (not pips). In fxDreema by default 1 pip is 0.0001. There are settings that can change this, but this is how it is by default, and almost all people prefer to work with this "standard".

Trailing stop = 0??? At least this value should be something positive. This is where SL should be placed (relative to Ask.Bid)

Do you want to wait for some profit to be accumulated before starting to trail the stop?

1. Try something like this: http://prntscr.com/70zm57
2. The link that appears does not work? You can remove 4 connection if you remove those Pass blocks, they are not needed. But "modify stops" are not placed right. Here is more about them: https://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-loop-how-it-works

When you run "Buy now" or "Sell now", the result is a new trade. These blocks are under "on Tick" = it's possible to run then on every tick! Because of that, some filter is added for them, like a "No trade is running" block. Now, it really matters what are the settings in this block and "Buy now/Sell now" - those settings must match!

Again, in your project you are asking "There is no EURUSD trade?". If you are working in GBPUSD the answer will be always Yes (backtest), so the block will always pass. It's like it does not exists at all.

I tried this in EURUSD, this is the result: http://prntscr.com/70uuum So, in EURUSD there is no problem at all. Again, because "No trade... " is set up for EURUSD only.

What you are asking here is: I there a trade in EURUSD? So, what happens if you backtest in GBPUSD? Answer: The block will pass every time.

I don't understand the second question. But your trailing stop is not positioned right. Check this example: https://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-trailing-stop

I tried to explain here the problem with the moment when candle closes: https://fxdreema.com/documentation/work ... e%20closes

In short, it's not a good idea to think about "when candle close". When the new candle opens - this is almost the same thing and it's much easier to work like this.

Blank means 0 anyway, leave it as it is

You want to Not trail until there is some amount of profit accumulated? Check the "Trailing Start" option

There is no need to try to reproduce the problem, I think I know it's roots. Such thing can happen if you copy/paste blocks from one project to another. The problem is that variables are assigned by some ID number, something like 1, 2, 3... Their names are secondary properties. When you copy/paste blocks with variables, only their ID numbers are copied. How to solve this... in the Variables panel - rename all the variables that have wrong names. And for now, better don't copy variables between projects.

Why is that... well, this was my initial decision to make it that way. I just wanted everyone to be able to give human-like names for variables, like "This is my variable", but obviously this was bad decision. At the time I think that there was no way to copy/paste blocks between projects, so everything was fine.

Now I actually reprogrammed the whole thing and variables are assigned by their names. But this is too big update that I am preparing from 1 yeas, so I can't just put it there. I'm almost done, by the way

Of course, just check the available options for stop-loss/take-profit

There is a block called "Hours filter".

Moving Average is just an indicator. Change it's period and you have MA calculated for this period. I don't understand what problems you have with it

Here is where to set up the arrow position horizontally (it's Time coordinate): http://prntscr.com/6zx3q7

Why? In MetaTrader 4 you can now modify stop-loss and take-profit only by dragging

Otherwise the horizontal line itself holds a value - the price where it is placed. Yes, you can draw objects and then get information from them: http://prntscr.com/6zv94s

Well, you can always use Candle ID of 1, 2, 3 and so on (previous candles)

For that reason I wrote some descriptions for each block http://prntscr.com/6ywozl

I don't know your idea. If you really want to count, use the counter. My feeling is that you don't want to do this, so I suggested some filter blocks.

No easy way in fxDreema. In the code this is called "enumeration": http://docs.mql4.com/basis/types/integer/enumeration
Also look in the middle of this page: http://docs.mql4.com/basis/variables/inputvariables

In fxDreema you can easily define regular inputs, but there is no place to define such complex structures... for now!
