Object Description is the description of the object, this is not it's price level, it's not even something numeric. Try it like this:

Also, your block 4 is now Pass, but it will be better if it is "Once per bar", as there is no need to redraw the same line again and again and recalculate the highest point of some past candles again and again.

This:

Here "Once per bar" does not wait for 10 minutes after the trade is closed. More that that, it does not know that a trade exists and it does not care. This is just a time filter.

What if you just detect when the candle crosses over that MA. If the price crosses over MA, this means that it was below MA before. There is another approach - detecting crossover between two MAs.

In the past it was not possible to send SL and TP with the trade on an ECN broker. Then they changed the OrderSend() function so it's now possible. This happened > 1 year ago. And this was for trades (running orders), not pending orders.

You can easily see what is possible and what is not. Click on "New Order" and check whether the Stop Loss and Take Profit fields are active or they look disabled.

Do you have error messages?

True, here is how it looks for me

You can try to reinstall MetaTrader. Sometimes this actually helps with weird bugs.

This is what I got from this: https://fxdreema.com/shared/AuGFVNaRb
I only select another timeframe. OnInit triggers every time automatically and I got a brand new trade as a result.

I think that it works fine for me Build 765 here

I'm not sure if I have the latest build, I will check this and I will try this now

Ummm... can you show this one as a screenshot? I use Lightshot to do this, very helpful program, I use it even to show things to my friends.

I think I need to change the way Constants and Variables are working in general, which is not so easy. They are associated by some hidden ID numbers, not by name, which was a good idea when copying blocks between projects was not even possible.
Now I'm actually rewriting the whole fxDreema, so at some point I will look at these problem, but now... now the existing code is a little bit weird and I don't even want to touch it, because when I do that - something broke. That was the reason why I decided to rewrite the code. And also to be object oriented

So what I'm gonna do now is to apologize for the problem, give you 1 month bonus (you already got it) and hopefully I will finish the rewrite process with this problem solved in some way.

Only if you have block that is not connected to another does not work. Block that is alone.

This is what I have... because I used M5 my pending orders have parameters very close to the current price, but otherwise they are placed where trades are placed in the other EA. For me the signals (Condition blocks) are working fine, the same way in both examples.

Very good, for someone new you already know how to use those pink blocks. Well... almost. I don't like this (on trade) in the Comment block under "on Tick", but anyway.

The moment when TP is triggered can be detected under "on Trade". But this will be one time event, so it can't be repeated.

Manual trades and orders have magic number 0, the chart does not matter here, no specific chart information is added to the trade/order.

What if you place a new pending order with half the lot size where SL for the trade is?

It's also true that you can do something in few ways, yes. I personally prefer to close everything and open something fresh and new

Am I the only one who see this? http://prntscr.com/5xfxir

Anyway... I think it's better if you can find problems by yourself, so I will explain this

• To find if a block works (passes), connect "Draw arrow" to it's output - if you see arrows, it passes. This is how to check Condition or multiple Conditions. There is even dedicated block for this, but at least I don't use it really - "Logic points tester".
• Condition blocks are comparing values. If you are not sure about the values that are used, check them with "Indicator tester" block. This is how it is used https://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-indicator-tester
• Values also can be checked with Comment or Alert blocks.
• Backtest on Visual mode, so you can see how things happen in "real time".

Yes, it is a simple question, I receive this question again and again, but the answer is not so simple. Check this post: post/7901

Then, try "Indicator appear". It generally works for this situation, but not always, it depends on the indicator and how it works.

With pink blocks. But I'm not sure hot do the third part with trailing stop. The little problem here is that when you partial close a trade, it is actually closed and then a new one is created. I have to see if it's possible to extract the initial open price from the second/third partially closed trade. Some tricks are needed for your problem

With pink block somehow. Here is an example how to make trailing stop: https://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-loop-trailing-stop I will be different in your case, but this is the idea.

It's confusing, I know. I also have troubles to decide what it should be, plus or minus. Try with minus on the left size, or if it's on the right side - plus.

There are some functions for some things. You can do everything that an indicator can do... in theory, but there are some problems:

• Expert advisors are not optimized to work as indicators. It's easy to make indicators to Not recalculate past candles on every tick.
• You want something that is not specific. 5 people can make 5 custom indicators to detect the lowest high, and they will work in a different way, they will probably detect different things, and they will all have different kind of input parameters. Let's say that I add this option now... then later someone will say "I want this, but not exactly this, I want it slightly modified".
• Isn't it better if you can see the lowest high on the chart, the level that is detected? Indicators do this automatically.

There are some S&R indicators out there. Fractals is also from this type of indicators. People also like Zig Zag. I hate this one, but did something for this indicator back then - go to Condition -> Indicator -> Zig Zag to see it.

Ignored... this works for me: https://fxdreema.com/shared/5F8vVND5e
Here is the result where the pink line is High of the previous candle +10pips. Note that there is nothing between 10 and pips.

I think it's only you with these attach problems Try with another EA (from somewhere else)
