I don't see 100 MA line, I only see 300 and 1000. But you said that you used 100 before, so I think it could be some kind of cache.

That Access violation problem... maybe you ran out of RAM. I have never seen such error before, but I have 32 GB of RAM and most of the time I don't think about it. I also never investigated how EAs are filling the RAM, so I'm not sure from where these 4626 MB are coming from.

MQL5 is very weird sometimes. The thing is, in order for me to fix some problem, I need to somehow replicate that problem here on my PC, so I can do tests and everything else

I think I fixed it

I have some idea of what is going on. I changes "Lower line" to "Upper line", then downloaded as .mq5 file and imported the project in my projects... and I see "Lower line". So I can confirm that there is some problem when importing. But can the problem happen in the same project when working on it?

In this field you can write MQL4 code. For example:

OrderProfit() > 0

... which will use only trades with positive profit in the calculations. You can filter them with OrderType() == 0 (this is for buys) or OrderType() == 1 (for sells), but why... in the main Bucket block you can filter by type.

I see something strange in your project:

What is this 500 number there? Now if the value of BB is 1.2345, that value of 500 is added to it, so SL is like 500.2345. This is possible value for sells, not for buys.

If you want to add or remove 500 pips, do this:

+ 500 pips

or...

- 500 pips

Trades are independent, they don't care about charts at all. You can open a trade at any symbol without any chart. Look below - I have no charts and I can still hit New Order and make a new trade.

When backtesting, it appears that the trades belong to the chart, as you can see their arrows and lines. On live you don't even see those arrows. The EA just sends command to the server to open a trade for USDJPY or EURUSD, and the server does that. Charts are only to see the price... and to put indicators and expert advisors on them. Charts are outputs, they show information. But trades does not belong to charts.

You don't understand how the trailing stop works?

I don't understand this - "once it hits the TP, it should go on". I don't know why people sometimes explain things like this. I'm very simple, I understand every word literally. When I read that TP is hit, for me this means that the trade is closed, gone... I can't imagine how it continues to go on

I don't know, I have no plans to add graphical things to this block

Here there is something for pivot point:

If you want that indicator, use it. For me all indicators are the same thing - extra program that accepts input parameters and returns output values. Some indicator doesn't return values that can be used, they print objects on the chart. Your indicator could be such, because those lines look to me like trend lines and maybe you have nothing in the output buffers. But I'm not sure of course, I don't have that indicator. If it prints lines on the chart, then you can get values by reading them from the lines, not from the indicator's output buffers.

I see that in some blocks the Symbol is empty and in other it's "Any Symbol":

So, the idea of "Set Current Market...." is that it makes the following blocks to think that the current symbol is not the current symbol. Let's say you have EURUSD,GBPUSD. Then the block will pass 2 times. The first time it will make the following blocks to think that the current symbol is EURUSD and the second time it will make them think that the Symbol is GBPUSD. But when you use "Any Symbol" for "Check profit", the block will check the profit of all trades from all symbols.

That MQL4 project is created with fxDreema or you have it somewhere from internet?

I don't know how to use Renko chart in the tester

I tried this money management method and I think it works ok for me. But there is something called Lot Step, where you can't send trades with lot size for example 0.015, so every time the lot size is rounded to the nearest possible value and the loss will not be exactly 2%

Also take a look at these examples: https://fxdreema.com/examples#Chart-Objects

So you wait many candles for a condition to happen. I know this is easier to imagine, we just see things better like this "wait for something to happen and then do this". But we already have candles in the past, so normally (and if possible) the EA should look at the past candles. I mean, why counting something every candle while waiting for a condition, when you can detect the condition at the present moment and count the candles in the past.

But it depends what you actually want to do, because in the EA builder it's sometimes easier to increment variables. There are not many blocks who can look at the past multiple candles and extract some signal out of them.

That blue line is the indicator? In fxDreema can you use the indicator and get a value from it?

This block doesn't draw any lines on the chart, it only moves SL of the trades

it worked like this for me. I marked the 14:00 and 19:00 candles, but I think because of location difference the candles are different for me and you.

Otherwise if you are not sure about some block, you can check when it works if you put "Draw arrow" after it and look at the arrows on the chart in visual mode.

+1pips should be 0.0001 in EURUSD, no matter if the broker is 4 or 5 digits. It's because of these rules:

Try this, if the idea is to make live EA looking like one that was just tested:

I think the color option is for these short lines:

It works for me, at least I got few trades. I don't like the name of the project, better give it a name that is valid file name. I also think that you should put some time filter, so the blocks can run only after 9 AM, otherwise they run before that and the values can be wrong. Previous day's closing is just Candle Close of candle 1 of Daily timeframe, or possibly the way you do it now, but for time 00:00.
