I used the same variables here: https://fxdreema.com/shared/WqS5N7CV The result is not very profitable at least on my backtest :)))

https://fxdreema.com/shared/4XFO0GS8e

There are different ways to modify variables: https://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-variables

Thos functions are automatically generated, I don't recommend to use them

It's ok for me: http://prntscr.com/436gjm

I think the problem is in the way MetaTrader is started. In fxDreema in Global Options there are 2 paths - terminal and data path. When both are the same and you click on the button to start MT, it starts in portable mode and then MT's data path is where MT is installed - not the one written in fxDreema options.

Better write the actual terminal path, something like C:\ProgramFiles\MetaTrader 5\ or whatever it is. The data path should be this weird path. In this case when you run MT from fxDreema, it will start in normal mode.

Collecting data, the maximum value of Balance-Equity, and then using that value to close all trades?

Ahaa, the problem is in the way blocks 20 and 24 are connected. This cause block 23 to run 2 times, once because of blocks 20 and again because of block 24

If everything else is not really profitable, I wonder why this will be : ))) Just kidding, I don't really believe in Forex :))

So, what are you looking for - data from the last closed trade? This is what I think you want to use. And this can be read using "For each Closed Trade", but I some variables needs to be used because after this block you will use "For each Trade" and it will overwrite all the other pink stuff (pink blocks and pink (in loop) options in Condition).

Here are some of the native functions that can be used for calculations (look at the list on the left side): http://docs.mql4.com/trading/orderstoploss For example OrderStopLoss() gives you SL level of the currently loaded order/trade.

Ummm... I got 3, it can be seen on the picture

pips away from open price is:

• for sells: OpenPrice - Bid
• for buys: Ask - OpenPrice
  ... converted into pips

Parameters from the last trade can be get, but there is no information there for how Open Price was related to the previous trade. Comparing it's Open Price to the Open Price of the previously placed trade may give something, and things go complex here.
Another way is to use variables to hold/increment/reset/use these % values, which means that when the EA is turned off this memory will be gone... if that matters.

It's a bit easier for SL/TP... if they does not move. SL/TP are also price levels and nothing else, but we often compare these to the open price. If there is some trailing stop, getting SL from the last closed trade will give different values every time. Not to mention the situation where SL can go on the other side of Open Price using trailing stop. In this case how much is the SL? There are workarounds here, but again things are going to be complex

In "Buy/Sell pending orders in grid" there are gradation settings for open price, SL, TP and lot size. What about these?

For all orders to have the same SL (or TP), try this option "Dynamic level (same for all orders)". The difference is that this is a price level.
This is my example: https://fxdreema.com/shared/kd2DBUeP
And this is the result from it: http://prntscr.com/42vhg8

Generally the maximum allowed by a brokerage is 50 lots. Could put the maximum choice of lots to be restarted without knowing what maximum MQL5.

Someone else will say that there is no need for reset and it's better to take the maximum lots. Which sound logical, because the strategy already want more that the account has. But I think the option resolves this problem.

.mq4 and .mq5 files contains all the project data from fxDreema. I loaded your project from the .mq5 above. I will probably remove that .xml option in near future

It works for me, it does what is expected from these blocks, which is adding new trade after the price goes at 20 pips above or below the last trade

the project: https://fxdreema.com/shared/jUe1CQnEc
the result: http://prntscr.com/42jny4

Notice this option: http://prntscr.com/42joch With it, it detects when the price is 20 pips from open price below or above - both are valid, it's not only below or only above.

I updated something, now it should be fine without errors. But it worked anyway

It matters where "once per trade" is connected - before or after the action you want to do. Now you have it before, which means that block 140 will run once right after the new trade is created and will do nothing. If you wait for "pips away" and then "once per trade" you run "Buy now", this is another thing and will work.

In the beginning I created "Formula" block, few months later I added Constants and Variables. All these are global variables, so they are accessible everywhere in the EA. Only I don't recommend to modify Constants, they are designed to be constants.
So, when you define variables in Variables, or you create Formula block, some global variables will be added to the final project. I prefer Variables, not Formula block. And for some basic calculations with those Variables click on this "Variables" thing: http://prntscr.com/42j6wo

I have 1 error message at the very beginning, but then it works, the indicator can be read and used. I'm using this to see if any indicator works: https://fxdreema.com/shared/4kOOeZrBb

I removed 20 whole blocks and added everything from them in 2 blocks. How can I know that someone will ask for money management in money management 2 days later. Now what can I do - to turn on old blocks again I don't know, I didn't liked these blocks and I wanted to put all money managements in one place.

Well, Martingale fails when you don't have enough money. I think it's better if the maximum available lot size is taken if the requested is too big, so I have to do something about this. I'm just not sure how to get the maximum available value in MQL.
Otherwise resetting to initial lot is not that hard in real situation, if you reach that point you will pull your hair out and restart the EA 100 times a day

Or try this option: http://prntscr.com/41s9zl
