Any hint?

Any suggestion?

Miro1360 created a wonderful pip counter EA that works fine for MT4:

I copied that same structure for MT5 here with just one minor change:

https://fxdreema.com/shared/XmqSpHRhc

But it doesn't work correctly due to 2 problems. Firstly closed trades losses are not counted as negative but positive. On the other hand, spread is correctly ignored in the MT4 version whereas it is wrongly included in the MT5 version.

Could you please take a look on it?

Ok. I will. Thank you once more.

I'm afraid I disagree. This is not required for the MT4 version:

https://fxdreema.com/shared/x75d43Fwc

Negative results are correctly substracted there. Something is not working properly in the MT5 version, I'm afraid.

As far as I cant tell your variable suggestion works perfect. Thank you.

Unfortunately, a new unexpected problem has appeared. Negative results are incorrectly counted! All losses are considered as gains and I have no idea why.

Any hint?

Apparently the indicator cannot be loaded for some unknown reason. I created this test EA including it.

And this is what I get in the logs:

The indicator is correctly available on the MT5 platform. No other error is shown at the logs tab. Any suggestion?

Ok. I'll try it.

Great! Once more, thank you very much. But one more final question, please. Will time info put from block 13 into the 'Now' (on Init) variable be recognised by block 11 (bucket of closed positions)? Shoud I change the way block 11 can identify time?

I uploaded the following MT5 ZigZag indicator:

0_1553592055190_ZigZag0.mq5

No buffers nor variables were detected by fxDreema, so I had to create them manually this way:

Sadly, it doesn't work and I don't know why. Did I miss something?

I didn't know formats should be specified manually. BTW, how can I write the vertical line separating 'Time_Date' and 'Time_Minutes'?

On the other hand, you're right, spread is not included. How can it be done?

Thanks.

Interesting. I'll take a look at it. Thank you very much.

Apparently the 'on Trade' part should work properly according to what I can read on other threads. I simply can't see why it doesn't work here.

Hi Miro,
This is the MT5 version of your pip counter for MT4 you so kindly helped me to develop last year:

https://fxdreema.com/shared/1JvNdFyO

I added a new feature to improve it. I want that only those closed trades from the very moment it is executed on the platform are counted from the history tab. This is why I added a Bucket of closed trades block on the project. However, two wierd things happen. The first one is the data format shown (the last number in the list on the top left screen). This is not how the block says it should be shown.

The second one is how pips are counted. As you can see in this image the number is clearly wrong.

Before you tell me, I checked the pip size rules and they are correct for this broker. I simply duplicated the structure of your counter for MT4. Should this project be different for MT5?

Thank you in advance

I retook this old MT5 project and I would appreciate some help about two parts that don't do what they are supposed to do:

https://fxdreema.com/shared/8qdJwCRLb

1. The first one is a wonderful miro1360's suggestion. I use the zigzag indicator on blocks 9, 10, 11 and 12. There I can identify if there is a local high or low and that activates an on/off switch used on blocks 24 and 84. When miro1360 suggested me that structure for MT4 it worked perfectly, but apparently it doesn't on MT5.

2. The whole structure on tab 'on Trade'. I correctly capture the ticket number of every first buy and sell through blocks 29 and 30 (see 'on Tick' tab). The question is that once those trades are closed their ticket numbers should be erased as per blocks 52 and 56 (see 'on Trade' tab), but they don't.

Once again, any help will be much appreciated.

Great! I think this will work. Thank you very much.

Any help?

I know, but all of them include adding custom code that is not easy to fit into an EA. Having two buffers is a lot easier to deal with. That I can do. The problem here is that one buffer is included with two different possible values. That is not how fxDreema 'indicator appears' block works right now. This is why I would like the administrator would fix it.

Any hint?

I want to use the ZigzagColor indicator for MT5.

0_1551620633286_ZigzagColor.mq5

it should have two buffers for its two colors but only one is available. Sadly fxDreema doesn't identify the correctly. I tried to create two new buffers, one for each color but it seems fxDreema can't read them.

Any help?
