The idea is that manual trades have magic number of 0. You can for example make an EA that only works with such trades if you only do this: 0_1520882525647_99a722d3-c500-47d4-b96b-2e8c0cb3e083-image.png
by default, thats how every ea works. every tick.
maybe you are using "once per bar" block or testing with model "open prices only" - just change these to work every tick
Fractal value is candle high or low.
A fractal formation needs 2 candles to confirm, so you will never know if candle (id 1) has a fractal or not. Use id 2
So, "Once per bar" is able to pass 1 time per bar. If there is nothing above it, it will pass on the 1st tick of every new bar. But if there is something above it, it could pass somewhere in the middle of the candle. This block doesn't care what the time is, it checks whether the current candle is new for it or not.
Every candle has Time attribute, which doesn't change, so the "Once per bar" block actually works with this Time value.
indicators are just calculations based on some candles. you see, everything starts from the price.
so you can think candle id is actually same as indicator id
Ok 😄
Well, I think you will learn these eventually anyway, if you are going to be successful ea builder 😄
The idea in this is to count bars, and then check the counted bars before buying or selling. If there is a spike, the counting starts from 0, and so no trading for a while.
I'm not familiar with those settings you have - I have not ever used % of profit. If it seems to be working for you, and you've watched it execute then good!
