Hello

Is there any way to copy all the constants and variables from one Project and paste them in other one?

I have my projects in MQL5 language and I want to transform some of them to MQL4. I know that it is posible to copy all the blocks from the source to the destination. But, what about the constants and variables? Is there any way to do it as well?

Thanks

Hi

I think you can use a pseudo-trailing stop to get what you want:

PROFIT = 5 PIPS -> ModifySL to OpenPrice
PROFIT = 10 PIPS -> Modify SL to OpenPrice+5pips
PROFIT = 15 PIPS -> Modify SL to OpenPrice+10pips

And so on.

For sure there will be a simplest way to do it but this could be a way of doing it

Bye

Hello @gio24

I was being using another builder for MT4 but just for MT4. When I was looking one for MT5, I knew fxDreema builder. I can say that fxDreema is easier to use and it can compile projects in both programming languages. The project compiled has also a faster performance when you backtest or optimize and I think this is related to the quality of the compiling. Besides of this, the forum is very active, useful and there are forum users like @miro1360 helping a lot with your questions.

If you want a MT5/MT4 builder with a low Price, fxDreema is the one. There is no doubt.

@fxDreema It is happening the same to me. I have checked it using CHROME and EDGE and the modifies are not saved.

Is it possible to use the desktop version in the meanwhile until the online builder is fixed?

Thanks

Hi @fxDreema

Thanks for your response.

What I want is to build a system with a method similar to close a full position partially but avoiding the issues related to close partially orders in MT4/5. Well, maybe they are not big issues but are confusing for me. As an example, the one that if you close partially a position, a new trade is opened.

link text

I have tested using the pink block "close (partially)" in my projects but I don't like (personal opinion) how it works in MT4/5.

The target is: if my project has multiple profit targets, I want multiple positions with a fraction volume of the lot size given by the MM method. One position for each profit level. In this way, I will be able to manage each position independently. Of course, it will be required more work for building the project but I am getting more familiar with the builder's logic and it is easy to build the condition for each position.

I am testing dividing the Risk% by the number of positions to be opened:

Risk(%) -> PartialRisk(%) = Risk(%)/positions

Each position will have a PartialRisk(%) inside its own block. Maybe it is not a polite way but it could be work.

I appreciate a lot your comments.

Hello

I would like to get the position (lots) size before a trade is opened when the EA is using any money management method.

If my EA is using a Money Manegement method, how can I get the volumen size calculated for the trade? Because I would like to use this value in some formula calculation. As an example, I want to risk a % of Free Margin Account to calculate the lots for the trade based on the SL (PIPS) but I prefer to have differents positions for the trade. So If the volumen size is 1.5 lots, I prefer 3 positions of 0.5 lots instead of just one in order to manage each one independently.

Is it possible? I just found this to get the volumen size of a position but when the trade is running.

Thanks

OK @miro1360

THANK YOU SO MUCH for helping us to solve our issues with your knowledge about the builder.

Understood @miro1360

Thanks for your answer.

I would like to have the name of the constants as the VARIABLE column and the description of the parameter in a different column at the EA settings. Is it posible? I don't know if this is related to fxDreema.

I appreciate a lot your help.

Jose

Hi @miro1360

Thanks for your response.

I have other previous projects and it does not work like this. Take a look

For this case the name written in the NAME field at the constants/variables menú is the same in the "Variable" column after compiling the project. However, in the first case, the names for the variables after the project has been compiled is the one given in the description field at the constants/variables menu.

So, why is it different now than before? As I explained, maybe I have changed any option on fxDreema or MT5 that is taking the description as the name for each input.

Any idea?

Thanks

Jose

Adding @fxDreema

Hello

Please, why does the description field of the constants/variables menu appear as the variable after compiling the Project?

This is something that does not happen with other projects. So, I am sure that is something I have changed in the project but I don't know where it is the option.

Hello

I have added a custom indicator (Keltner Channel) to my fxDreema project. When I want to optimize the expert advisor (MT5, 12 cores), the optimization is not going as fast as usual with other robots I have built with fxDreema. With my workstation, the optimization of the expert advisors that have usual indicators goes very fast but, for that EA, the MT5 client is going like a slow motion and the computer is slowed down.

https://fxdreema.com/shared/6TOcJyDce

I think the problem is the custom indicator but I don't know how to solve it.

The custom indicator is this

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmTIb6O8HVMzgdQWUrFbH80aVfvcuQ

I have no issues compiling the project at fxDreema website buider or by compiling the indicator on the MT5 Editor.

Any help will be welcome.

Thanks

Hi fxDreema

I am not sure if the problem is something related to fxDreema. I will keep you in touch if I find anything that could clarify this issue.

Thanks

Hello

Thanks for your answers.

@casper Both Metaquotes and my broker have 5 digits. I have also built the EA using 5 digits by setting 0.00001 on "Project Options" for most of the pairs that are using 5 digits.

@miro1360 As I know, MT5 downloads historic data from its servers not from the broker's server. But probably I am wrong. The EA is working with the same result in my broker's demo account and also in MetaQuotes demo account.

I appreciate the help.

Hello

I have placed the same EA built with fxDreema on different charts with a unique Magic Number for each one:

4863 EURUSD
4864 GBPUSD
4865 USDCHF
4866 USDJPY
4867 USDCAD
4868 AUDUSD

When a trade is opened by the EA on a specific graph, the Magic Number given on the trade box is not right. For example, the current USDJPY trade was opened by the EA 4868

But the EA's Magic Number that is working on the USDJPY graph is 4866

So, I am not sure if the trade was opened or not by the right EA. As each forex pair has its own parameters set, it would be the worst thing if one EA is trading on the wrong pair due to a Magic Number confusion.

Anyone know anything about this issue? I will appreciate any help.

Thanks

Hello

Please, I need some help to understand what is going wrong with my EA built with fxDreema when I backtest or optimize in different accounts (MT5). Because the results are different from one account to another.

I have optimized the EA in a MetaQuotes account. I have chosen the paremeter set that is giving a good consistency through 10 years (in sample) of backtesting and 1 year (out ofsample) of forward testing. The result is this

It seems a good EA. But, when I shift to my broker's demo account using the same paremeter set, the results are totally different

It seems that the EA's behavior in out of sample period is close for both accounts. But for me, if the EA does not have the same behavior as much as possible for both time periods (backward & forward), it is not a consistent system and I will discard it.

Could be anything related to the historical data quality?

Thanks for the help

Hello fxDreema

Thanks for your answer. Now I understand better the behavior of the "Trailing Stop" block.

So, if I have a TS block which is working properly and I have a condition that states: if the price reaches one level, the "modify stops" block move the SL to this level. Should the TS work as it was doing before but from that level?

Like this

Thanks

Hi mikeo123

Here you have an example. I hope it helps you.

Hello

I am building an EA and I would want to use two trailing stops depending on the price level and the position profit.

The first TS should work as it is. It means that the SL level is only modified according to its settings (pips and step). For this TS I would like to stop its job when a price level is reached (for example, open price) or the block "Break Event Point" has worked.

The second TS should work over a threshold.

I have built an example and I appreciate if somebody can take a look to give me opinion and suggestions because I am not sure this is correct as there are 2 TS blocks.

Thanks

Hello fxDreema

Your help is very useful.

I don't know what it happens but after an update released some days ago, now it is working as expected.

The MT5 update was the build 1687.

I appreciate a lot your help.

Kind Regards
