@johann-0 This whole read the ATR values at 1.59 PST thing was stupid. It's a robot It does trades instantly and doesn't need to review.

@vonmunchy What I've done as a temporary fix was use set blocks on and off so it runs once then disables the conditions after. Will give @l-andorrà 's advice a go. Thnx for your help btw.

@l-andorrà Thank you. Will give it a go. So much still to learn.

@vonmunchy adding run once per bar underneath the condition still continuously run it unfortunately.

@vonmunchy Thanks for your help, I will give it a go.

Simple question - How to run a condition only once on startup of an EA?
I would basically like a condition met once before it's starts trading. It's to make the EA wait as to not have it initiate trades mid trends after it's started up.
Much appreciated.

@saeed-2 Setting should be on candle close.

@6ixpappi is the indicator an mq4 file ? If so run it through meta editor and compile it to see if the indicator itself has errors. To do so just double click/open the file, meta editor if associated correctly with mq4 files should open it straight. Then just click on compile to change it to an ex4 file.

@jpsam Sometimes when I make a few changes to variables/constants the assigned name of a variable/constant that has been changed or deleted is still attached to an indicator value in a condition. Go through your blocks and check where it was last used and delete the variable/constant or update the name from there.

@ladydolares Do you want me to build you an EA ?

@ladydolares This is based off of readings from candle 0 (Current candle) Predicting personally I don't think is the way forward. I'm a trend trader myself using indicators to try find the start of trends.

it looked like the wrong buffers was selected.
Thanx guys.

Im trying to place a buy or sell on condition HULL MA crosses MA and for some reason it just doesn't want to work.
Buffer one green line is constant and Buffer two red disappears.
Tried different versions as well and no cigar.

Found the issue.

When MA is set

it seems that what the buffer value isn't the same as what's on the screen.

Fixed one problem by downloading an alternative MA - https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/418219-allaverages-my-collection-of-moving-averages

Still getting random trades.

I feels as if there is remnants of previous blocks somehow...

Found the remnants in MT4 - Strategy Tester - Expert properties
Turns out that even when unticked the values still matter.

It closes because you have your candle set to 1 and ma set to candle 0. You have to set both to the same candle.

@zackry I'm not infront of my pc right now but what I'd do is dissect it and test it piece by piece. Get one part working then the next till you have all the bugs worked out.

Hi people. Need some help.
I've made and EA as more of and indicator for a friend so we can perhaps use it as a trading bot or a good stand alone indicator.
It generates either a green or red arrow when conditions are met.
It does draw the arrows but i'd like the arrow to disappear/ be deleted when the condition is no longer met at the current candle only (candle 0) and keep the arrow if conditions are met right till the end of candle 0 turning to candle 1 along with the arrow.

Much Appreciated.

@l-andorrà - No problems. Posted it under tutorials as an example. I don't see like a library page where people can go and look up designs so I posted it here.

@FXDREEMA Love your work. It has enabled me to code without knowing a lot about coding.
I have a suggestions if possible.

1. I often work on large pages with many blocks so I need to scroll down to place blocks. Problem with that is as soon as you move a block close to the edge it scrolls at one hell of a speed down and when you move it back up it scroll at one hell of a speed back up. This often messes up my block configurations when I have an area holding blocks while this rapid down and up scrolling happens. The best I can do to prevent this sudden scrolling is to pre place, place holder blocks so it doesn't cause this sudden scroll. It would be great if you could fix this.
