Hi I would like to build an ea that has a condition set that when the moving averages are tilted upward or downward then it only would execute the buy/sell trade. Can someone please guide me how I can go about that, using an example of a 10 day and 20 day moving average.

@seb-0 thank you im new to fxdreema but not new to trading. I understand what you meant by this. i will test this and get back to you if i run into any issues.

should i say something along the lines of if trade (if trade x amount of volitility over x amount of time/bars etc. no trades)

What i mean is if i say if trade, condition, no trade. Would that be how to correctly structure it to "not trade" under the given conditions u just mentioned?

Hey traders of fxdreema.
I would like to reduce drawdown on my trades, but i have kinda hig a roadblock on what i can try to feduce my drawdown.
I would like to know what tips or suggestion you have that might help reduce drawdown.

Hi i have made a strategy that trades 3 diffirent time frames indipendently by group. Problem is I cannot get it to run the groups. Its 3 sets of 15min,30min,1hour group with its own buy sell which has already been sorted by group. How do i link the groups up in thr beginning so that all three groups run at the same time?

@miro1360 or anyone that can help. I would like to incorperate trendline into my EA so that it automatically only enters a trade when it crosses the trendline. Im not fully understanding trendlines in fxdreema to be honest.

I use candle 1 always when setting my trades for my EAs. What i would like to know is. On the trendline do i keep it as candle 0? Will it automatically read the highs and lows for me? So u can place the same trendline for both buy and sell?

Also whats the diffirence between trend line and trend by angle?

I suppose to answer my question.
If i can see how a trendline is supposed to be set thru an example attatched to an indicator i can later use this in the trades I make. Basically i wana catch the swing highs and lows and if the candlestick crosses the trendline in confirmation with my EAs then i only want the trade to be executed

Skip to 37:30 to see what im talking about

I saw miros post.
But its an old post. Since then a block has been added where u select the high, low and wick of the candle based on a percentage of the whole body of the candle. It simplifies things alot more. So basically if 100% represents the whole candle and 50% the half way mark. U take 90% off the top and leave 10% at the bottom then u have a reverse hammer.

So i get the idea behind it but u know how it is with fxdreema, you think ur supposed to do something one way but then later you find it must be done a diffirent way. So i want to be sure that when i do it, i do it the correct way.

I just need to see the examples i requested then i will be able to build a database of diffirent candles.

Kind of like candyshop.

I wana build something like that for reference material so that i have it on hand whenever i wana use it with a EA

I forgot to mention
U must put macd > 0 and not macd x>0

I had the same issue with macd. Im not near my pc to show example for you but perhaps i can explain what u need to do.

So ur gna first create.

1.condition (Macd)
2.close trades (sell)
3.no trade (buy)
4.Buy now
5.Close trade (buys)
6.no trade (sell)
7.Sell now

So on 1. (Macd)
Ur gna select macd, Main line, candle 1

Value: 0

Then focusing on just the orrange link of condition 1.

On 1 (orange link)
Connect number 2( filter by sells) to 1
Connect number 3 (filter by buys) to 1
And connect number 4 to number 3

The focusing on just the yellow link of condition 1.

On 1 (yellow link)
Connect number 5 (filter by buys) to 1
Connect number 6 (filter by sells) to 1
Connect number 7 to 6

So it will look something like so...

                                   Macd
                            /       /   \         \

Close sell trades / \ close buy trades
/ \
No buy trade no sell trade

Buy now sell now

Hi I would like to make use of candle patterns

Can someone please show me...

1 example of one candle on its own, eg a doji
And
1 example of two candles joined eg. Bearish Harami cross.

And also simple example of correctly joining it to indicator for a buy or a sell.

I think i have an idea how to do this but I would rather see an example and be sure how to do this correctly as to avoid errors.

Thank you in advance.

@bchinhaba i need this condition as well. Did u manage to get it to work?

Hi so i developed a simple EA that buys when 50/sma > 200/sma and vice versa.
I set a take profit in place. But once it hots the take profit because the conditions are true it buys again.
I dont want this.
I want it to buy once after hitting take profit and then wait for a sell signal and then enter again, hit take profit and wait for a buy signal before entering a trade again.
Any idea how to achieve this?
Also if possible can i see an example?

@roar thank u so mich, this is perfect. Exactly what i needed to know

@roar do you mind making a simply buy/sell when macd is above or bellow zero line. The one i have works however it works with macd main + signal. Even when i make it
macd main x> 0
or
macd main > 0
Or
Macd main ×> 0.000000
Or
Macd main > 0.000000

It still does not work the way it is supposed to.

The red is where it is supposed to execute a trade on the backtest.

But...

The yellow it is actually executing trades on back tests.

@fxdreema i have an idea that might work solve this problem, not sure how to code it.

So it would work like this.
Lets call it Candle Range.
So the idea is that u can customise the candle range. 3, 5, 7, etc.apply a max so that it doesnt take alot of ram

In addition to this u then have something that counts how many indicators are true within that range and set that. Eg, 3 indicators needs to be true within that candle range before a position gets executed

So the coding would have a short term memory stored in ram that counts the amount of indicators that are true within that range. And then resets back to zero.

@roar I aw the mistake. I swapped close trades around with buy/sell, a silly over sight. Now it doesnt close trades after opening but it only executes the buy and doesnt close the trade

@roar i ran another test, still the same issue. Is it possible to draw up a logic tree similare to the one i posted, test it out on your end to see if it buys/sells and send it to me?

@roar to put it simply. Whenever the main line is in the upper portion of the macd (zero line) i want it to buy. And when its in thr lower portion of the macd (zero line) i want it to sell.

@roar thanks for the reply, to your first question.
I want to try with main tick and signal tick and see which gives me the best results.
I mostly want it to read off the main of the last bar of the macd (not off the signal of the candle) as i have stated before. Basically if it shows 1 bar up on macd. I want it to buy. Obviously i intend to try with diffirent indicator combinations but I need to get this part right first. I have tested with candle 1 as you have mentioned but to no avail.

When i run the tests it buy close in a loop the enture time!

@roar ok do you mind to show me how to set up correctly? Please set up something simple and have me take a look at it?

I wana use macd in 2 ways

1. when (MAIN) line crosses the (zero/centre)
2. when main line and signal line cross.

The main thing I want to get right is the main crosses the zero.
