The test of my example was made with manual trades, so I put 0 as a magic number in the EA in this case. On the other hand, when I use other EAs to open trades, yes, I use the same magic number for all of them and in this one.

It is the same exact EA in all of them! The blocks are those shown at the first image in my previous message.

Hi again Miro. I found a problem with the project options and I would like to ask for your help (again) if possible.

I found the correct combinations for point format rules. The EA works perfect on each chart individually but it fails when combined. Let me explain. These are my initial rules:

As you can see I added gold and two indexes. Let's begin with any forex chart. This is what I get:

Just forget the closed pips. We can check that the open trade is correctly counted in pips. Now the same with gold:

Once again, it is correct. And now let's test it with DAX:

All is ok so far. The problem comes now when I put the EA in a fourth chart in order to calculate all open pips from the three previous charts simultaneously:

Where do those numbers come from? it doesn't even resemble a pip counter! Suddenly there are more than 15000 pips open right now!! :O. For some reason I don't understand, I cannot combine several charts at the same time.

Could you please give me any hint?

Once again, thank you very much in advance.

No, I didn't. I think this is exactly what I'm looking for. Once again, thank you very much.

Dear Miro,

I can finally confirm that your block structure works perfectly. You're a great programmer! Now I would like to add an additional layer of complexity to the EA and I would appreciate your suggestions again.

Due to my broker's MT4 platfom, different charts use different pip counting. For example, if I want to get 20 pips from a Forex chart, I need to put a 200 in the EA. The problem comes when I want to combine Forex, metals and indexes, as all use different counting systems. In my example, 20 pips mean that I should put a 2000 in gold and 20000 in Dax, for example.

This means that I need a way to translate different pip counts to a single one in order to specify a single target i the EA. What hints could you offer me?

Thank you very much in advance.

I compiled it with metaeditor and four errors are detected. The problem is that I don't know what they mean because I'm not a programmer :(. Here they are:

1. 'Bars' - variable already defined
2. 'Volume' - variable already defined
3. '' - invalid array access
4. 'Volume' - invalid array access

'Bars' and 'Volume' are in effect variables I created to change them at will. I don't understand what's the problem. Any hint, please?

I tried it with up to four different MT4 platforms and it doesn't work. Could someone please just check it doesn't happen to me only? I would appreciate any member of this forum offering some help.

Thank you very much in advance

The problem persists. I tried it at different MT4 platforms but to no avail. This is very weird. All my other EAs work perfectly when downloaded as a mq4 file. This is the only one that doesn't.

Any suggestion?

@fxdreema said in Question about "Impulse up/down" block:

This gray circle means that there is no .mq4 file. You can download the .mq4 file and it will become yellow, but this will not change anything about the EA

I downloaded it as a mq4 file. I tried it again to be sure, but it's still grey :(. I have other EAs, and all are shown correctly in yellow. I can't see why this is happening to this EA only.

Ok. I tried my first EA using those blocks: please, click here

But I found an unexpected problem. I don't know why, but I canoot run the EA on my MT4!! :(. It is depeicted with a grey circle at my EA's list whereas all my other installed ones are depicted in yellow colour. This is the first time this happens to me by using FxDreema.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ok. This is a new structure based on your suggestion.

It almost works as I need. I just need a final additional feature. How can I create a variable for that buffer info? The EA now opens a trade immediately after the new colour appears. That's what I want, but I also need that if other conditions from other indicators are met AND the colour (i.e. the buffer info) is the one I'm looking for, a new trade is open. I'm thinking of adding that info to a variable, but I don't see how can I "catch" it.

Any suggestion?

@timmyhanke said in Quick question about custom indicators:

@isp00rt

Superprofit is one of ''Carl Dittmans '' scams , its repainting a couple of bars back , and thats why you have problems with it , because of past values

I know it repaints, but if combined with other solid indicators is a good way to show the trend. Obviously I would never create an EA based on it only.

Sure, no problem. It's called "superprofit". I can send you a copy if you let me know how to upload it.

I see. It's interesting you discourage to use some blocks. Maybe you would consider the possibility of removing them from fxDreema? I agree that a custom indicator should be the best solution, but what this block does, apparently, is almost exactly what I'm looking for.

Could you please recommend me what blocks should I use for an indicator such as the one explaint at my first message? I don't need a full structure, just let me see how to begin with.

Thank you in advance.

You're welcome.

It depends. Direction compared to what? The close price of the previous candle? Its high/low? More info would be helpful.

Hi josecortesllobat,

I'm not an expert, but these are the problems I see.

1. "MoneyManagement" should be a constant, not a variable. That's the only way you will be able to choose it manually.

2. Once you manually choose if it is true or false, the order of blocks should be different:

• Blocks 1, 2 and 3 remain unchanged.
• Then blocks 13 and 14 remain as per your screenshot.
• What is changed is that block 15 should be then connected below block 13 through the yellow connection, not the usual orange one.
• Hold block 9 as per your screenshot.

This way your EA will first check if moneymanagent is true. If so the trade will be open. If it is false, the new path will be chosen. Your current structure is trying to check both conditions (true and false Moneymanagement) simultaneously and things in MT4 cannot be true and false at the same time.

Hope it helps.

I'm looking for a new EA very close to what "Impulse up/down" block apparently does, but I would like some additional information to confirm I understand it correctly please. These are the parameters I'm not sure of:

1. Quiet bars. If I select "2", I understand that candles ID 1 and 2 will be checked while candle 0 is still forming. Right?
2. Quite bar min size. If I select a 0, then every candle will be checkhed?
3. Impulse strengh. The explanation is clear but I can read it considers the maximum quiet bar as the only trigger to pass the block. I see this maximum cannot be specified anywhere whereas the minimum can be in the previous parameter. Is that correct?
4. Impulse shift. This is the more intriguing part and I would appreciate some clarification here. If I understand it correctly, 0 means that if the impulse is reached right now at candle 0, the block passes. But what's the difference between values 1 and 2? In both cases the impulse must have been completed at candle 1 to the block to pass. What does "...and old" mean in option 2?

Let me say that these blocks are almost perfect for what I'm looking for. I would just need some minor hints to get the following:

a) Instead of looking for the "maximum quiet bar", I need to know the average range of pips for that number of quiet candles.

b) Then the "impulse strength" would be calculated on that average range instead of on the maximum quiet bar only.

Could you please tell me how should I set the parameters to achieve that?

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi again,

This is my first try to do what you suggested: https://fxdreema.com/builder

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I guess I'm not inserting the correct information at the "Indicator rise/fall" block. Before you ask me, no, there is no message at the "Experts" tab of my MT4. Apparently conditions are never met, so not a single buy/sell is executed.

Let me explain what is this EA supposed to do. It traces a continuous coloured line on the chart (it looks like a moving average). Depending on the trend of price, two colours are shown: red (for downtrend) or green (for uptrend). I want to open a trade immediately after that colour is changed.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I guessed this had been asked before, but I couldn't find any thread with this specific topic, sorry.

I will try what you suggested. Thank you very much for your help.
