fxDreema is an EA builder, but one of those where you normally don't need to write code. To work with a custom indicator, go to My Indicators and add the indicator there. Then you can use "Condition" block and select the indicator (http://prntscr.com/i08ais), also select the correct buffer number, parameters and everything. Then on the right side select Value -> Numeric if you want to compare it with 0.

But when working with custom indicators, I always advice to check the indicator first with that Trace block: https://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-trace-multiple

Or maybe something triggered this problem now, because I see many "lost" projects in the database... But don't worry, they are all there, I only need to fix this issue

When? Because I found one problem with the database (old problem!) and I decided to fix it now. It is not related to the latest problems I think. I will check your projects.

Well, the thing is that I'm not looking at emails all day long nowadays. Most of the time people are asking the same questions, but in the same time there is so much information in these forums, I guess. Serious failures happen from time to time, something like 3-4 times per year for few hours. This is frustrating, but in general the up time is very good, probably over 98%

@andy The local edition is not only old, but it is disconnected, it works by its own. If there are problems in the server, the local edition doesn't even know about them

I just found one problem that caused projects of some people to disappear. This is not a new problem and not related to the server downtime these days. So, this problem starts from a bug in the forum (when the person updates his profile, I guess), when certain user ID is written as a "string" instead of "integer" value in the database. Then if this ID is used by the EA builder, certain projects disappear. They are still in the database of course, but the EA builder can't see them. So I wrote 2 scripts and I fixed both databases. Now I will check how this "string" value is entering the database of the EA builder, so I can turn it into "integer".

Someone knows how to set up Android to ring or alert me in any way, if a new email is received in certain email address? I actually added the website in uptimerobot.com and it sends me emails every time, but they don't alert me (I don't look at emails all the time).

I'm petty sure that all the other topic in this category contain the same reports, so I will answer to all of them here.

I'm sorry for 2 problems that happened. The first - the website was down for few hours. This always happen when suddenly the VPS is restarted. The problem is that the NodeJS server does not start automatically until I open the VPS, so in the whole time the VPS itself is up and running, but the website is not started. And I don't know how to fix this problem yet. I have some .bat file in the Startup folder to start everything when opened, but it doesn't open until I log in.

The second problem is that there was a serious problem with the database - some changes to the projects were not saved correctly. For that I suggest to go to "History" and click on some previous history point if you have something missing in your project.

Why that happened? Because of the first problem I decided to write a MongoDB script to add few extra days to all people who paid to use this program. And one keyword of that script required newer version of MongoDB. I installed it and it worked, but I did not realized that there are some other problems. I tried to find what is the problem, still without success. So I downgraded MongoDB back to its old version where everything works. I still don't know if that problem did serious damages to your projects. Just in case I have some daily backup of the database, although it would be very difficult for me to dig into it to find some project. But if someone has such damages, I will try to restore them.

Colors mean nothing for the EA, the values in the output buffers are what you are looking for. For example, you may have 2 separate buffers, one for the first line and one for the second. And if both lines have different colors, you see something like one line with 2 colors, but they are 2 separate lines :))

So, first try the indicator with Trace block, to see what's inside those buffers - https://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-trace-multiple

When you know the values in the buffers, you can decide how to use the indicator, because it really depends.

Try ~X~

Better don't use those variables and functions that I created, because sometimes I change them. This ~X~ thing is semi-official, I may change it some day as well, but this is more unlikely. It gives you the block number. Or I'm not sure, to be honest :))) Because now there are at least two different sets of block numbers But I'm currently using it in some blocks, for example in those Draw blocks:

I think I found the problem and fixed it. Sometimes the numbers appear with many 99999, but I added NormalizeDouble() and it still happens... I don't know why.

And I still think that working with profits is better. I was testing this in MT5 because in Saturday this is the way to work with multiple symbols and I worked with EURUSD and USDJPY (Gold is missing). As a result when I have 10 pips loss in USDJPY, the loss as money is something like -89... very disconnected and confusing.

@isp00rt You can still work in dollars... in % of the account balance for example And I guess that people prefer % instead of pips. Pips are often confusing, we can see in in this very forum topic

"For each Closed Trade" - I understand that you want to get all closed trades from all markets, but this block has no limit and it simply loads all trades ever closed, even if they are 6 months old. Is it possible that the block calculates more closed trades than you actually want?

Better check the indicator with Trace block, to make sure that it gives you values that can be compared somehow. Sometimes you expect certain values, but in reality it's a little bit different.

But you can add the MA indicator over the chart, why do you need to draw it in another way? Well, if you still want to draw MA with bunch of trend lines, use the Trace block - it does exactly that.

Long time ago I tried some EA on the internet that looked profitable and the way it worked was something like what this block does. So I decided to make this block. The code of the block is not changed since then, so I must look at the code to see how it works.

But there is one problem - It is almost impossible to backtest this block, because the results will be fake. Just like the EA I was testing back then, it looked profitable, but only because the way it was programmed fooled the Tester, it exploited the way it works.

Is you decide to try this block, carefully observe the way it works.

About the point rules, I found that if you write equal sides, for example 0.001 = 0.001, then this row disappears. This is probably intentional, but now I think it can be confused for someone that does not expect that. I checked different variants and it seems to work, but when one row disappears, I get confused with the row that was below it.

You know, I think you want to just use that block "Check profit (period of time)". And why are you trying to work with pips, when it's easier to work with profits - the symbol doesn't matter.

Ooops, don't try this on real account! I left this working and then I looked to see many many trades and orders opened. Something is wrong with this EA and maybe it starts to fail when some pending order is triggered, I don't know

Your Variables are defined with data type numeric, which does not exist. Use double for floating numbers (like 0.1234), int for whole numbers, string for text, datetime for time (this is some kind of integer value actually) and color for colors (this is also integer).

I think so. I don't remember how I did this one exactly, I'm not even sure for which part of the EA builder you are asking for, but when I do something like this I normally skip Saturday and Sunday.
