I don't know, I don't pay so much attention about warnings, because they does not make problems... they are only a little bit annoying if MetaEditor is used, and that's all.

Out of http://fxdreema.com/examples => http://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-4765
These are events. When a tick comes - blocks under "on Tick" are executed. "on Init" is when the EA starts. "on Trade" is when trading operation occurs - new trade, close trade, modify...

You have to know how to backtest an EA in MetaTrader first, how this process happens with it's details. I believe there is information about this in google and youtube. Then, that EA builder has it's own small rules, but it is more like something that helps people who already know how to backtest an EA to program their own EA.

I have to apologize about that there is no well written instruction how to do anything from scratch. I don't know why I can't force myself to write manuals

Yes, there is such a problem with Windows 8, I still don't know why. Unfortunately in the moment I have really bad internet and it's hard for me to update it.

But web version and local version are the same, so you can use web version. I checked your current project, and to use "Break even" under "on Trade" is not really right, it should be used under "on Tick". And I tested this project and I have a trade. Do you have some errors?

I think I fixed it.

I don't understand, when is this error appear? If fxdreema.exe does not start, how can you export EAs and what trades are expected

Can you give more details, in what situation this happens? Example project?

"Condition" block compares two values - left and right operand.
Try with "Indicator appear" block.

In some of the blocks there is an option to filter manual only. But what you need to know is that manual trades and orders have magic number = 0.

There is no relationship between Buy now and Draw arrow, they are doing totally different things. I can't see some block that can delete the arrow, so what if you are using Draw vertical line?

Get to know what is Magic Number and how Group number is connected to this Magic Number (Magic Number = Magic Start + Group). Then you will know.

Group number is part of Magic number (Magic number = Magic start (found in input options) + Group) and if you will complicate the project... I don't recomment complications. At least everything that I'm trying to do is to simplify things.

If you want to differentiate trades by symbol, use in trading blocks (such as "On trade is running") "Specific market" option, not "Any market".

Trade has "Open Time" parameter, candles also have Time parameter, which is some rounded number. But if you know the current timeframe and how long is one candle, you can ask for the trade age. If the period is 5 minutes, every trade that is not older than 5 minutes belongs to the current candle.

I added simple renumbering function in Options, it only makes numbers as small as possible, it fills the missing numbers actually. I think I have to add option that can renumber blocks depending on their placement relative to other blocks... but this can be incorrect sometimes.

There are two ways I can do something for indicators - to add drop-down menu in Condition somewhere in "More options" that will be able to choose between "Current value", "Highest value", "Lowest value" and so on. I don't want to create another category where the same indicators will exists, I want them only in one place. But this option is not from the list of fast updates
The other way is in another block, but a block can't return value to be used in Condition.

Second wish - I don't think I will add such a thing in Condition, it sounds to me too specific. And it sounds too specific for a block as well, but if you can give some name of this functionality at least...

What value do you think the left operand has? Of course it has the value of the profit (negative in case of loss). You can use this value in the way you want, notice "Alert message" block.

ECNbroker is old variable, it is for compatibility, but it's not needed anymore so I will remove it. Since June MT works well with ECN brokers.

Trailing stop calculates some pips and sends them to the function that should send the order, but inside that function it checks if stops are too close and it modifies them. I have to make this check to happen in Trailing stop block.

But why so short stops, are they as expected now?

For Magic Number found info somewhere in Help (documentation), I wrote about it there.

By the way, this week I will be rarely available.

I use arrows to help me see things. See what's in Condition block, the left side.

Aha, your SL is placed there not from the start, but later, when the price is somewhere above the open price. This is the dumb thing - when I can't see something in front of my eyes

So obviously instead of putting SL to a certain price, it thinks that this value is in pips, and because this number is small - it puts SL to the nearest possible value. But I checked if there is something wrong in the code that can cause this, and all looks correct. We will see on monday.

Again, Trailing Stop is not to be used like this. In this particular EA there is no difference, because it has 1 trade at a time, but it's not correct. Just remove this pink block from there.

Also note that block 10 will be executed after 1 and 6, but if 1 is 11 and 6 is 16, then block 10 will be executed first. Block numbers matters when they are in parallel.

Ah, these are rounded numbers.
