I got only 1 trade here: http://fxdreema.com/shared/DZtLsRr3b

Looks normal here, ot at least I can't spot the problem Buy-Sell-Buy-Sell... 0.1 lots all the time.

Nothing Can you check with simple EA that can do everything fast? For Ryan James there must be special post messages in the log.

Nope. Indicators have different structure and they can draw lines in a way that EA can't.

There are 2 logs - Journal and Experts. I can't see Post messages in the one you uploaded. But it will be strange if there are no messages from Ryan Jones MM

No indicator can be within the code! What is in the code is a simple function named "iCustom" that links to the external indicator that must be located in "/experts/indicators" folder.

I don't have an idea what was happened. Such a thing can be caused by big profit in short time. On backtest (not with that project) everything looks fine.

But when Ryan Jones MM is working, there are additional messages in the log that describes each step of that MM. The reason why I decided to leave them is because this MM is relatively complex to follow. Can you find these messages?

No, no, I have it. Check your logs, I think it's missing on your PC.

I think that your indicator (Price Channel.ex4) is missing

"Unit size" plays the role of initial lots and the lots that are added everytime in case of profit. But if the profit is x-times bigger than delta for any reason, then the new lot size depens on that and it can be bigger than expected.
You can find in logs print messages like this: "Fixed Ratio MM going up to.....bla bla bla". These messages describes how it works.

"inp6_VolumeSize" parameter is not used actually, it is used in case of fixed lots option.

You have error messages in the attached log that "Price Channel.ex4" is missing!

I almost forgot how Ryan Jones works, but is it possible that Delta parameter (500.0) is high?

Check this again...
__toDigits is a function that normally converts 10 to 0.0010. It is used for pips conversion, not lots.

Now I saw that you are trying to use value from (Event trade), but this should be used under "on Trade" event. At the moment it give you pure 0, I believe.
If you want to get the lot size of the last trade, then put "Start trades loop" block with "Not more than n trades" parameter set to 1, and then you can get the lot size of the last trade from "(in loop) Attributes of the loaded trade/order", not from "(Event trade)...."[/quote:2r6nofk9]

I think that SLPipsDistPriceChannel is ok, the value that "toDigits(SLPipsDistPriceChannel)" gives in MQL4 is 0.0003, as expected.

If you have "No trade is running", nothing will happen below this block until there is a trade in the pool. But I'm not sure that I fully understand what you mean. If you can show an example here? (I saw your last opened project, but there is no any time filter there, so it's maybe another project)

It's interesting what do you mean by actual cross.

MA indicator is a list of values. Single value per candle (well, it depends on what price the MA is calculated, but let's skip this for a moment). The nearest two points in MA are those from two nearest candles.
Crossover is when two lines crosses each other. In case of MA, when in candle X one of the lines is above the other and in candle Y - the opposite.

Now, when one of the candles is the current one (candle 0), then the MA value on this candle is not still, it is moving. If crossover happens on this candle, it will be temporary crossover because the candle is not yet finished. My point of view is that this is the "actual cross". But by "actual cross" you may understand the crossovers that you actually see on the chart after the backtest. In this case, you should work with already finished candles, starting from candle 1 (the previous one). Just put 1 on candle ID parameters.

There is no difference between MA and RSI in term of calculations. You probably do crossover of RSI with some level, for example 30. MA can also crossover fixed level, for example 1.3456, but MA has no limits and choosing fixed number is not practical. That's why MA is crossed with another MA, this is in the nature and in the basic idea of this indicator.

I'm using 3rd party software to build the .exe file, otherwise I am totally unable to program the whole stuff in C++. I can read in their forums that programs generated with this software can work with emulators in Linux.

The last time I tried to install Linux+Wine I was absolutely disappointed from Linux. After that experience I don't want to touch Linux anymore. Well, I have Ubuntu Live DVD just in case I have to delete something bad from Windows, but the fact is that Linux is not from my world. I hope that now, 4-5 years after that, Wine is better than before.

There is a very good reson why some websites are using HTTPS. The reason is that they can say "Look at us, we are great!". While most of the websites does not have money to pay such a thing, it is very visible when some of them shows "https" instead of "http". This probably makes people to think "Wow! This website must be exceptional!".

I don't live in USA and I am not security-obsessed. Personally I don't care if the site is https or http. I prefer http because there are no messages like "We have small s and you must worship us". But if someone can stole my data, this will be experience for me and at the end I will understand something new. I really prefer someone to stole my money instead of being paranoiac.

And after all, I think that if you must be scared from someone, this should be your broker. Your broker is the one that is really holding your money. Also, are you sure that your EAs are sitting there untouched while using MetaTrader? Most of the .mq4 (,mq5) files are kilobytes and in theory it is sooooo easy to transfer this information through internet.
The picture of someone sitting near your house with a small laptop in the dark, trying to get your fxDreema password from the air just to see your projects does not sound so much realistic to me. At least not compared to the possible secret ability of MetaTrader to stole EAs by itself

By the way, I always wondered that - what happens if someone really stole another person's EAs? How can this hurt?

You should know that the pink block is self-repeating as many times as many trades there are. When it finish it's job, it exits from the yellow output. Whie running, that block also loads attributes of the current trade that it is working with, and that attributes can be read in the way you will see in block 3.

Well, ok. Then this might help: http://fxdreema.com/shared/QtLpYCkrc
I didn't tested it seriously, but at least I think I'm close.

Now the parameters window is opened after successfully received information from the server. There is 8-seconds timeout, and if there is no answer from the server - no new window is created and it's possible to try again.
If parameters window is successfully opened once, and then it is closed - it is not deleted, it is just visually hided, so then it can be opened again without sending new message to the server.

I just added this error message: 'Parameters of block X cannot be opened because the connection was lost.'. If you don't receive that message, then internet is not the problem. And if internet is not the problem I don't know what can be, because as I can see your project is not even complex. By the way I can open all of it's blocks in milliseconds at the moment.

There is a parameter named "Group" in all trading blocks, it can be used if needed.

I don't know why and how you can have two trades at the exact same price, and to check something like that does not sound very good idea for me. You know that when you put a new trade, it can be actually placed at different price than requested. Also, buys are opened at Ask, sells at Bid, so there are always differences between open prices.

Maybe you want to use area of prices, like Open price +/- 5 pips? This sounds like good idea for a new block, something like "Check for trades nearby".

"Once per tick" is not needed.
Search for "No trade is running" block, I think you need this one.
