I got it, the same thing here. I still don't know why is that, but I will discover and fix it.

Meanwhile I disabled that cache of block properties, so now when you double-click on the block it requires fresh information from the server (web version) or from the program (local version build 036).

You are very active in fxdreema, why don't you install TeamViewer, so when there is a problem like this we can fix it as fast as possible. There is nothing scary in using this program, it's fun actually. Otherwise now I have to ask you to send me the project in file, because I have no idea what these "phantom blocks" are

This website is located on a new server from today. After weeks of troubles at the oldest shared hosting, I decided to move everything on a new VPS server where I have better control and there are no other users using the same resources with me. The machine is located in New York, hosted by zap5.net, and it has 4 CPU cores and 2GB RAM, which is too good for fxdreema.com I believe.

Well, there were some troubles while moving to that new server, so I really want to apologize! It is possible that "fxdreema.com" is still not working at some places (including my laptop), but it will be ok soon. Domains takes time to be reconfigured.

Also, for some (still) unknown software reason the new server already crashed 2 times today, which is not good, but now it looks to be working fine. The truth is that I started managing VPS and installing server on VPS about two weeks ago, so I'm probably not the best server-guru At least I learn quiclky.

Each trade has it's own unique ticket number. "Once per trade" block has internal memory where it keeps a list of ticket numbers, and it passes only when the loaded trade is not within that list. In case of partially closed trades, there is a new trade created with new ticket number, but that block checks if the currently loaded trade is created from another one, and in this case the block does not pass. In other words, that block should pass once for every trade that is not created after partial close. Each of these blocks keeps it's own independent list of trades.

I think the rule "never risk more than 3%" is the one that calculates lot size depending on stop-loos. In this case if you want to set X pips SL, then the lot size is calculated in a way that when SL is hit you will lose about 3% of equity (or balance). And there are options for this situation, but they are named like "Risk % of Equity".

I'm in Europe too. Come to http://fxdreema.com/chat

So, where did you get the idea of that kind of MM?
I will surely not rewrite "% of..." options only because you care of leverage for some reason, but if that MM is well known and many other people can use it, then I can add it in another option. But if this is something only in your mind, you can do calculations by yourself. I can suggest:

• "Formula" blocks
• define lot size as dynamic value (the last option in Money Management parameter), so you can add some calculations directly in "Adjust" field
• Use a variable to hold the value of lot size and use "Custom MQL4 code" block to modify that variable
• Create a custom block (Library Studio)

I mean... now the option "% of Equity" really means that. If you have 1000 dollars, then 100% of Equity is 1000 dollars, 50% of Equity is 500 dollars. Basically these options are there because of the ability to take values equal to or bigger than 100%. The idea is that when your profits grow, lot sizes also grow with it - in linear style, not exponential. But we don't care of leverage here, because leverage is only the ability to trade with X-times more money than we have.

So, when you have 1000 dollars, then 3% of equity is at least 3000 dollars? I think you are talking for another kind of MM, but I don't know it's name. Where did you get this idea?

There are another options if you want your lot size to depend on SL size - see "Risk %..." options. Options with only "%" are simply... if the value is 100 (%) from balance, that means when you have 10.000 USD, the lot size will be 10.000 USD, which is 0.1 lot. 3% is too low in this case, that's why the minimum available lot is taken.

Well, you still miss "Start trades loop" for blocks 49, 55 and 64 And I'm not sure if the connections are ok. When you have two things connected one after another, then the one which is above is executed first. But when you have parallel connections.. it depends on the block I - lowest ID is executed first. These things must be ok as well.

Why don't you install TeamViewer and I will connect to you to try to make this EA somehow

I only know that sometimes strange things may happen when Windows UAC is enabled, because when it is on, modifications of files and folders in Program Files can be disabled. I am with UAC disabled, because I don't like such a security problems. You can try to run the browser as administrator.

Local version tells if there is a new version, but it does not auto update. Well, the update process itself is easy - download and run single file - it happens in seconds.

At the end it worked for hilavoku, now I don't really have an idea what is wrong. But if you have TeamViewer I can check it directly on your PC

Let's try with this example: http://fxdreema.com/shared/ti5FBKglb
Do you get it?

Once again - you should NOT use "(in loop)..." block without "Start trades loop". When you have even 1 block starting with "(in loop)" and it's woking with trade(s), then you MUST use "Start trades loop".

I already told you in this topic that you have missing block that is important - "Start trades loop".

You can also check "Flags" category. Check "Variables" again, and "Formula" block as well <= these are all ways to set/read variables (or "keys" in your words)

Oh, you mean deleted blocks? Very strange, I have no idea why such a thing can happen. But I can suggest that you SAVE and RESET.

__The block "(in loop) Shrink" I believe the way it works "Dynamic Size" with the price channel indicator. The problem is that it is not 3 pips above the Channel Up and Down 3 pips below the channel.[/quote:1fu3zmj7]
Why are you repeating that, after I told you 100 times that this is not how Shrink block works. You want to use Modify block, not Shrink block. Shrink block CAN NOT place SL or TP at 3 pips below or above any indicator, but Modify block is used exactly to do that.

And to use values that can change in time, which are also known as "variables", you can use "Variables". You can check "Variables" just below the project name, block "Modify Variables". There is another option - "Formula" block.

Skype is not an option because there was someone that I was added before... and... let's say that I prefer to use Skype only for personal reasons.

Maybe I understand what you are trying to do because I have seen this situation before, but I imagine myself as someone that helps in questions of how to use the platform - blocks, connections, basic things. I don't prefer to build a whole EA for someone, this is not the idea. But there are people that can do this for you right here: http://www.mql5.com/en/job
I prefer that you (and all the people here) understand how to connect blocks. Because if you don't know, for example, what a loop means here, and if I made a single EA for you... the next day you will ask me to do another one for you, and then another one... but again, I don't see myself as a personal programmer, my role here is to help in the process of building EA's by creating a tool for this.

Programmers deal with 2 things basically - logic and code. Fxdreema eliminates the need to know code, but the logic remains. That's why I am trying to explain you the logic behind the blocks that you are using... and I can clearly see that now it's not the exactly right, or at least can be made better.

By the way I recommend "Draw arrow" block as a tool to understand "where you are" after some block or blocks.

My point is that no matter how many trades you want to use, the blocks configuration is the same.
