Well, this block does A-B and compares this to C. The time is in it's own format - seconds from 1.1.1970 - and you can for example compare Candle Time [0] (or the current server time, notice that Candle Time does not change in every second) with another Candle Time that you have it in a variable. Again, this is measured in seconds, so foe example 1 hour is 3600 seconds.
If this function can also help: http://docs.mql4.com/en/common/periodseconds

That comment section on the left is native for MT4 and MT5, it's how it is and cannot be modified... and is not treated as an object. To print text somewhere else object is used - Label or Text object. Here is the difference:
http://docs.mql4.com/en/constants/objec ... t/obj_text
http://docs.mql4.com/en/constants/objec ... /obj_label
I started to write 1 block to draw all available objects once and as you can guess I abandoned that block. I don't know when will I finish it, but at least now the new MQL4 is done and I have green light

Group номера би трябвало да свърши работа. Защо са ти пък тези зелените "Set..." блокове, то може и директно в Buy now, Sell now да се пише името на двойката

Distance less than 10 candles, what is that means? This blocks check the vertical distance, prices, how 10 candles fit in this picture?

С тези глобални параметри дето можеш да ги видиш като натиснеш F3 - те са записани някъде във файл общо взето и могат да се четат и записват от всички експерти. Но предполагам са по-скоро за прехвърляне на някаква основна информация, не за някакъв високоскоростен обмен. Иначе вероятно има по-дълбоки начини като Named Pipes или Winsock... но това са по-дълбоки води

To print group number (which is related to the magic number, read about it in the help or somewhere in the forum) you first need to select the trade or order (with "For each Trade" for example, read it's description for more info). Then there is a block "Comment on chart" where you can load multiple values to print right on the chart, and Group number also - somewhere in the pink category that starts with "(in loop)...".
For text... also "Comment on chart" if you want it on the chart.
I can also suggest "Indicator tester" block to backtest various numeric values.

MT5 is from 2010 and it still cannot beat MT4 because of this problem and also because MQL5 is not as simple as MQL4. I also noticed that MT5 in visual mode is slow, I don't know why.
Now the new MQL4 is similar to MQL5, I think they added possitives from MQL5 to it and in backtesting MT4 600+ should be faster than older versions. If you are still on version 509, get the latest version, this is first. I don't know about the processor, I have normal processors here I can suggest how to speed up the process of generating ticks data. Well, I'm not aware if Tickstory or something like that can be used to skip this process, but in any case now there are SSD hard drives which are faster than normal HDD. SSD have their problems as well - they have limited write cycles and MT4 can only make their life shorter, but there is something even more faster - the RAM If you have more RAM (I think 4GB is small amount of RAM these days) you can create what is called Ramdisk and to read/write files from there with amazing speed.

The biggest problem is that MT4 works with multiple trades and MT5 works with a single position per market. Not even a month ago MQL5 had more features, now MQL4 is almost like MQL5, but that trades-position difference remains, and that difference leads to different strategies basically - the same strategy will not work the same way in MT4 and MT5. That's why I keep MT4 and MT5 separate Otherwise in the code I tend to make everything to look similar, if possible.

There are at least 2 ways to do that. In "on Tick" only or using "on Trade". In "on Trade" you can detect when a trade hit SL or TP (and then do what's needed). But "on Tick" is always better, where you can check the profit and the type of the last trade... if that fits the idea. Well, here is a little problem, a trade can hit SL and still be profitable (if SL was moved on profit). Maybe I should think for a block to check how exactly the last trade was closed (by SL, by TP)

Because "Check trades count" goes to one output when there is 1 trade and to the other output otherwise. I guess you got many sell trades and buy pensing orders and 1 buy trade and 1 sell pending order. Тhis combination of blocks is inappropriate, maybe you have to use two "brown" blocks, each one set to Buys or Sells.

In "Buy now" (for example) click up where "Group and Market to use" is and you will see where to put the market name. You can use 2 blocks for both pairs. There is another way using "Set Current market for next blocks"... you can read it's description. Note that MT4 can't backtest multiple pairs at once, only the current one, or at least this was true before version 600

На теория може би, аз замислях такива неща за MT5 - да симулира множество поръчки както е в МТ4. Такова нещо даже не ми е хрумвало за МТ4.

By definition Martingale (this is betting system) is when you double after loss and set to initial after win. I plan to add this MM in Buy now, Sell now, but at the moment it is in independent block. Well, using some variables it can be acheived with Buy now, Sell now. But if you really need Martingale, I think these block will be enough... until you get tired of trying to make Martingale to work without blowing the whole account

Какво общо има мащабирането, то няма никакво отношение към параметрите на свещите. Ако имаш 900 свещи намира центъра между най-високата и най-ниската, независимо дали в момента са ти на екрана или са някъде назад. Указани са 900 свещи, значи ако ги има си ги използва, това са 15 часа. Ето при мен каква е картинката: http://prntscr.com/2u17wz Започва да пада след като високия връх в ляво стане свещ номер 900+, първоначално там е върха. Най-ниската стойност ми е горе долу една и съща.

Това ли било... само че аз сега трябва да излизам че имам нещо да свърша, ти ако искаш пробвай да видиш с Indicator tester как са нивата, ако намериш някаква грешка в изчисленията пиши. Може да има проблем с това 900, не знам дали има някакво ограничение, нали има едни настройки за брой свещи на графиката.

Martingale?
There are blocks able to control lot size by themselves (search for martingale in the search field). To control type of trades - sell, buy, sell, buy - it depends, you can check what was the last trade (category "Checkup") and open the opposite.

Не виждам нещо да ограничава линиите, под "on Tick" на всеки тик ще се чертае по една линия както изглежда. Може би нещо като "Once per bar"?

Yes, at the end the magic number must be the same, it is always specified. Even for manual trades and orders it is some value - 0. Look here: http://fxdreema.com/documentation/proje ... d%20groups
Normally EAs work on every tick, this is "on Tick" in fxDreema. "on Trade" is not native for MQL4, I added some functions to create this trick. Use what will do the work.

Bu default it works for the current currency only, for example EURUSD. See that "Market mode" option. You can specify multiple markets like this "EURUSD,GBPUSD,USDJPY" in the Market input field and it should consider those.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea. To break even first you need to detect when the trade is profitable enough to be locked, this information should be kept in an array, and it's nearly impossible to work with arrays in fxDreema. Well, "Once per trade/order" does that in a way, it keeps some data in it's own array.
