I don't want my TP be visible on the MT4 plaftorm and as far as I know both "Buy/Sell now" and "Buy/Sell pending order" can't do that. Every test I did shows the TP on the chart and on the terminal window. Is there a way for it NOT to be visible?

Ok. Thank you. I'll give it a try. Your site is priceless.

Now I fully understand. It's clearer. BTW I want to move my trailing SL AFTER two candles have passed since the trade opened. Does it mean I should use candle's ID 2? But then it shoud move without looking back. How could I do that?

Great! Thank you

How can I insert a TP level and a SL level as an external variable? It will change from trade to trade and I want to insert them manually immediately before activating the EA on a chart. I didn't find any appropriate example at the examples page.

I modify my previous message. I now can open a trade at the beginning of the candle by using "once per bar" block. My problem now is that it always open a new trade at the same bar active right now. How can I delay it until the beginning of the new bar?

Sorry, I didn't explain myself properly. I don't want to open a new trade each new opening bar. I want to do it at a single bar opening after three other conditions are previously applicable. What does ID candle mean: the current one or the previous one?

Thank you for the help

I want to create an easy EA the should open a buy/sell at the following candle's open price. I made this:

https://fxdreema.com/shared/l7ZvIRgCb

Sadly, it launches a trade without waiting for the current candle to close. I guess it's a problem with the candle's ID. I tried using ID 0 and ID 1, but to no avail. I launces a trade at the first tick immediately after the EA is activated. Some help would be appreciated.

Great! I want to see it soon

I remember having read several days ago at this forum (but I can't refind the thread) that there is a way to "duplicate on reverse" all trade conditions without having to put all those blocks. I am planning a new EA with a lot of entry conditions and I would like to program just the buy or sell conditions and then duplicate them on the reverse as I found without having to do it block by block again. Unfortunately I can't find any example doing that. Could someone please help?

Sorry for this delay, but I needed some vacation time! Ok. Let me try to explain myself again. Let's imagine the EA makes what I want it to do. If I put it into a chart two windows will pop up: one asking for a buy trade AND another one for a sell trade at the same time. The problem is that I just want to open one single trade, not both simultaneously on the same chart. This is why I say that I don't know how to make that just one OR the other pops up. I know I could create two different EAs, one for buys and another for sells, but I find it a very unelegant way to do it. So, is there a way to create one single code for both options within one same EA?

I hope it helps.

Ok. Let me add some more info in order to clarify my point. As I said, I'm not a mql4 programmer, so I asked for help in order to create my EA. I was said by a true programmer that if I wanted an EA controlling many different trades in many different charts I had to design one in which each pending order had to be created by the EA itself, and not manually set by me on the MT4 platform. Otherwise no EA would be able to recognize which open trade belongs to each chart.

This is why I can't insert my pending orders manually and then put the EA to manage them once become active (but I admit this is what I wanted initially). According to the programmer It MUST be the EA that will have to set each pending order. This is why my EA is designed to create both a buy and a sell pending order. The problem is that I don't know how can the EA know when will I need one or the other. As it is designed now, I will be offered both options at the same time whereas I will only set a boy OR a sell.

Am I clearer now?

I'm sorry. English is not my native language. What I want to know is how can I implement the following with my EA:

1. I detect a trade oportunity
2. I decide I will set a pending order. A buy OR a Sell. Never both of them at the same time.
3. Then the EA makes all the work as programmed once the trade is open.

As I said in my last message I know how to implement that my EA asks for a buy AND a sell. What I don't know is how can I distribute blocks so that it is me who decides if a buy or a sell pending order is set. Could you please tell me how could I do that?

Thank you again and excuse my English, please.

Thank you very much for your help. I noticed that the current structure will ask for a buy AND a sell pending orders to be created when what I want is selecting a buy OR a sell pending order case by case. Sadly, I can't see how this "OR" option can be added right now. Is it any of the blue color blocks, maybe?

Thanks a lor again.

I think I got it!

As it is a manual initiallized EA it can be backtested, so could someone please check it to confirm it is correctly designed to do what is listed in my first message. I would much appreciate it.

Thank you in advance

Thanks for the suggestion. One additional question, please. I would like to add a log creator to help me identify any possible error occurred (invalid stop, invalid proce, etc.). Could you please tell me what block do that?

Thank you for your suggestion. I didn't take pink blocks into account. I followed your suggestions and some changes have been done. Bow about your questions.

a) I want to move the SL of my trade. I don't want to close all the trade, just a part of it. This is why I need a partial close block. As I said in my initial message, once the TP is reached, half the size is closed but the other half is still open until I close the trade manually. I need the EA to move the SL at that moment so that the trade is safe from any potential loss.

b) Impressive! So if i understand it correctly, if I want a sell limit I just need to specify a price above the current price and in case of sell stop I should select a price below the current price. Right?

c) Great! I think I got it now.

Now an additional one. How can I make the EA is self removed once it did all it's supposed to do?

Thank you.

Dear all,

This is my first try using this wonderful tool, so some help is needed, please. I want an Ea helping me in my manual trading. Essentially I want a script with an EA's feature, as you'll see.

https://fxdreema.com/shared/7hipqN0Hb

My project: I visually identify a trade on a chart and I create a single pending order per chart. Only one trade will be open per chart. I never open at current price. All my orders are pending ones.

Conditions:

1. I want the EA to create the pending order with the size, open price, TP and SL manually specified.

2. Once price reaches TP:
   a) Half the size of the trade is closed. The other half remains open.
   b) SL is moved to breakeven plus 1 pip.

3. EA is automatically closed.

As you can see it is a very simple one, but my lack of experience in programming and in using this builder has me stuck in my current project. Could someone please check any possible error? Additionally, there several things I don't know how to implement right now.

a) How can be specified the SL is moved only when TP is reached?
b) How pending order type can be specified (sell limit, sell stop, etc.)?
c) How can partial size close be specified?

Thank you,

Thank you very much for your answer. I will try to create my own firs EA soon. As I foresee I will need much help in this beginning, can I post my EAs here to be reviewed by other posters? Or is there a specific place to do that?

Dear all,

This is my first message and I would like to share my doubts with all of you. I recently discovered this site and let me say I find simply fabulous! I didn't know a place like this could exist on the whole web. I'm a trader for 6 years now and I want to begin to create my own EAs (always trading manually so far).

According to the main page "No programmimg skills are required" to use fxdreema. This is what I call a dream come true for a guy like me who has wasted too much money on mql programmers. Well, I read all support and faq info and...I have no idea how to begin! What has to be put on the Init tab? And in the Deinit one? Why more than 80% of things are punt on the "tick" one and less than 5% in each of all the others?

Please, no offense but what do you exactly mean by "No programmimg skills are required"? I just want to know if I missed something important.

Thank you in advance.
