@mmaarits I know how to make it on MetaTrader, but I don't know how to do that in MQL4. I tried iMAOnArray before and I could not make it as well... I forgot the reason. In the link they do that in a custom indicator, which is a bit different than EA

But MA holds the values for the old candles, I mean you can get MA for the current candle, for the previous candle and for any candle on the chart. It's easier to do that by specifying Candle ID to 1, 2 or whatever candle you want.

There is a block "Once a day", maybe it will do the job if you put it before the Buy/Sell block

I don't know

Depends on what "downtrend" means for you. Is it when one MA is lower than another MA, or something else

If you want the EA to work with the current symbol, don't specify any symbol, don't touch these settings at all and it should work. If you want to specify a symbol, then the name should be the same as those used by the broker. If you specify USDJPY and there is no such symbol, then the EA fails. The EA doesn't know that USDJPY should be the same as USDJPY.e

Also take a look at the description of "Condition" block to understand about the "Adjust" parameter, maybe you can use it in this case

Try "Check profit (period of time)"

Buy/Sell blocks won't pass if no success. Their gray output is the "error" output, which becomes active if something failed

Try "Bucket of Closed Trades". Here is some example, not with this block, but similar - https://fxdreema.com/examples#Bucket-of...

Of course there is difference. This block checks whether MA8 is between the upper and lower level. Imagine that the upper level is the upper line of Bollinger Bands and the lower level is the lower line of BB. Then the block passes when the indicator (in your case MA8) is between both levels for the specified candles.

For me all indicators do the same - they give values that you check. It's not that hard to check how the indicator itself works, like this - https://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-trace-multiple

I just don't like your project, it's strange. I also don't understand those Loop blocks that are set to 1 loop. What they do now is to run their outputs in order - first the orange one and then the yellow. Maybe you want that, I don't see any other reason for them. But even this is not necessary.

Something is also wrong with blocks 47 and 6, they are both set to the current timeframe only, so I don't see why they are used as well. And they are connected in a different way. Maybe this is intentional, I don't know.

Also I'm not sure that what happens below blocks 47 and 6 is what you think should happen.

I also don't see why those "Every n ticks" are there.

Well, you can get very confused if you are looking at the code. I am using many classes linked together. In the past each block had it's own code, but the downside was that if you let's say use the same block copied 20 times in the project, the same code is printed in the source code 20 times. Then I introduced those classes and now the main code of the block is written 1 time (for most blocks, not for all) in a class that I call "model", and 1 separate class for each block where the parameters are set.

So, in your screenshot what we have is one class that is the model for "Spread Filter", and in this class we have a constructor. What is a constructor? Some part of the class that is called once when we make instance of the class. In short, that value 5 is the initial value and it could be changed for every unique block. The actual value for "maxSpread" is set somewhere else in the code.

To put it where?

About Init, here on the bottom - https://fxdreema.com/tutorial/builder/expert-advisors#4

On Init works 1 time when you start the EA, I don't think that you want that.

On Timer works on regular periods of time. But on the Tester you can't have such event, because the Tester works on irregular tick events based on generated ticks. Similar to On Tick with "Once per seconds" or something like that.

If you want to backtest quickly, test the "Open prices only" model.

What do you mean exactly? The sum of profits of all profitable running trades (hedge mode) or something else?

I used Google Translate to translate this and I see that you are asking something about trailing stop, but I could not understand the meaning of the translation
