This works for me:
https://fxdreema.com/shared/3yw4c6XOb

In Condition block crossover works like this... let's say we have MA1 vs MA2 and x<

MA1[0] < MA2[0] AND MA1[1] > MA2[1]

where [0] is the current candle, [1] is the previous candle.

When you compare indicator to value, then it will be like this... let's say we have RSI vs 75 with x<

RSI[0] < 75 AND RSI[1] > 75

But I think there are other problems. I wonder why you have so many blocks, all in parallel, with very small difference inside. The chance is that many of these conditions are true at the same thime, and because all of them are connected in parallel, multiple trades will be created. I tried it on M1 and the result is this: http://i.imgur.com/oeiAISl.png

For those parallel connection I can show you this: https://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-or-logic

What are you trying to do actually? If it's something like trading when RSI rises or falls, then there are two blocks "Indicator rise" and "Indicator fall".

Yes, it works with 75 minutes.
I wasn't added options to calculate the expiration based on candles and it's not it can't be added, but it can be done now as well, just place this value in Minutes: http://prntscr.com/3sp8dn
Period() is some native function that returns the current period as minutes (http://docs.mql4.com/chart_operations/periodwindow)

What about setting expiration time?

This is how it works for me: http://prntscr.com/3sgpgm
But this is some old example that I made for someone else. Of course, it can do different things, but this one works like this because this is how it's made, it's not doing something by chance.
What I want to show is some ways to do something, not a final EA.

Of course the lot size can be controlled from outside Buy now/Sell now and those blocks can be run at any time. The "problem" with those blocks in betting system category is that this is how those betting systems work. Martingale is to double on loss... I mean, loss.... really, loss - something that is lost already and it does not exists, not some trade that is still there and can turn into profit or a bigger loss. Martingale by itself has it's rules, which are simple, but anything that does not follow those rules is not Martingale anymore. It can be adding to volume at any time.

By the way I use OP as Open Price. The word "Position" is used in MT5, and in MT4 can be the sum of all working orders (which I call trades) for single market (symbol).

Here is some example I created for somebody else that shows a way to open lot size that is sum of all currently running lot sizes (or at least for those who are Buys): https://fxdreema.com/shared/opRfux7wb
This is something again in that fashion: https://fxdreema.com/shared/5ed5rD4hb

Those pink blocks are big confusion for almost all of the people, I don't really know why, but if you understand them, then they can be used for many custom things. And using Variables is also a little bit on lower level, but those things adds some flexibility What is better than that is to write code, but we know that this takes time and knowledge

I don't understand the meaning of "OP" and "floting"
Martingale block opens a new trade only when there is no currently a running trade (all trades are closed) and the lot size depends on the last one that was closed. If the last one was profitable - it opens new trade with minimum lot size. If the last one was losable - it opens new trade with 2x the lot size of that closed trade.
Grand martingale is martingale where it doubles and also adds fixed amount of lots. Custom martingale is a block with more options where you can edit many settings. By default Custom martingale is set up in the same way as the regular Martingale block.
1-3-2-6 is just another betting system... better read it's description What is different is the lot size that is taken.

Well, the indicators does not appear on the shared project, so I can't really see what is there, but it can be something like this: http://prntscr.com/3s52aq
You are using "x<" and "x>" and maybe because of that it does not react. These are for crossover, and crossovers happen in certain candle, but you obviously want to use "<" and ">".

Ah, there is also this block with the largest name "Check the distance between two levels", which is basically the same thing.

Well, fxDreema is only for EAs and Scripts, it's not for indicators Any EA can draw some basic objects (arrows, texts here and there) that also indicators and scripts can, but that's all they can.

Yes, this is the idea. Otherwise manuals have magic number 0, but the magic number is controlled here: http://prntscr.com/3s148c - it is the sum of both numbers that I focused with red.

MT4 = MetaTrader 4
MT5 = MetaTrader 5
MT = MetaTrader (in general, 4 or 5)

Indicators do their job. Using an indicator in a block will make it appear and draw whatever it is designed to draw on backtest only, otherwise on live you will not see anything from it until you add it manually.

Comment() is MQL4/MQL5 function. This function is used in block "Comment on chart" in fxDreema. This block supports up to 20 rows of data. What data... whatever data. Something like this: https://fxdreema.com/shared/qDkbsYQPc But I don't recommend to use "Trade statistics" and if there is another way... use it. Some values that are not available can be calculated, but... I don't know, there are many indicators out there Basically EAs should be used to trade, indicators are to do some calculations, draw something on the chart and help EA's (and you) to make trading decisions.

You want to open 5 orders at the same time or 5 pending orders at different places?
Here are some basic examples https://fxdreema.com/examples
Look at "Buy pending orders in grid" and "Sell pending orders in grid" for multiple pending orders at once.

Mmmm, something with pink blocks (pips away from open price) and few Conditions?

There is a block "Comment on chart" that allows up to 20 rows of data to be displayed. Otherwise if you know a little bit of MQL, the native Comment() function can be used. But I think that there are indicators that can show such an information, and in better way. I'm not sure, but there was something in the custom indicators that comes with MT.

Wooow, that looks bad. But unfortunately I don't have this problem on 8.1 and 7... I can try also in XP. What is your OS? And does this happen every time you try this?
What I can suggest is to try to run the program with different compatibility settings and as administrator. I guess it's some bug from the software that I use to pack fxDreema into a standalone .exe, but what is the bug... By the way, if you know where Windows logs are and if you have somethhing there, place it here

Then this is not possible at the moment in fxDreema. Those buttons and other exotic stuff are something that I need to do, but I don't know when or if

Well, but it does what it is designed to do - it stops the EA and waits for manual reaction. In MT4 is that way, with Windows prompt, I don't know why this option is missing in MT5.

And those buttons... they are not prompts And does not appear right in front of your eyes. Buy why you will want to manually confirm position, if not only for testing something, which is otherwise not a problem in demo account

The local version crashes when you try to add some indicator to it? Or the EA is crashing when used in MT? I'm a little bit confused, because I'm not very familiar with error message like this... can you show me some screenshot? Or some more details of how can I get this error. Because I tried to add indicator into the local fxDreema, MQL4 and MQL5 - no problems at all Maybe the indicator... something

It is, it stops the EA until you click on any button. This is the MessageBox() function, and there is maybe one more function that can stop the EA for a while - Sleep().

I just added a new block called "Prompt". Somewhere at the bottom in the list.
