@l-andorrà Oh that's a shame. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi all.

I would appreciate some help on this. I would like the EA to place a buy order when the line changes to Green and Sell order when the line changes to red. The problem is the indicator loads the line with the colors into 1 buffer, however, the code in metaeditor shows 2 buffers. I have included the code below as well as the indicator. I have tried to orientate the condition block so when the indicator = the color it meets the condition but when I run the system in a back test it never places any trades.

Thanks for any help you can give.

@roar I've managed to get the code just about right. However, the sell pending order is placing the sell stop on the wrong side of the moving average line, in the code I have tried to subtract the ATR away from the price when price crosses over the moving average line. However, no matter what I've tried it always adds it on instead, in the same manner it does in the buy pending order when the price crossed about the moving average line.

Not sure why it is adding the ATR onto price regardless of the code saying add or subtract.

@roar Hi. Thanks verymuch for your help. It's amazing when you see what you weren't doing it suddenly seems so simple. Much appreciated.

@l-andorrà Thanks, did that, but it still not placing pending orders when I run it in simulation.

Any other suggestions?

Hello @l-andorrà I've written some variables. It is not working out for me at the moment and i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong.

I've tried to create what i talked about above. I've posted what I have done below.

@l-andorrà thanks very much. Looks like I need to learn something new. I haven't created a variable before, ill gove it a go and see what happens.

Hopefully it turns out ok. Thanks very much for your help.

@l-andorrà when the pending order is placed, the price level it is placed at is the actual ATR and not the price level the indicator was crossed over at plus or minus the ATR value.

So if the ATR was 40 pips and price was 0.6958 then it should put a pending order at 6978 (0.5 the ATR value) instead it places a pending order at 0.0020

The problem I see is the price function in the pending order is for custom price and not custom price fraction.

Not sure how to solve it.

@l-andorrà Hello. Thanks for your help. Please see below.

Hello.

I am using pending orders to set a buy or sell stop after a certain condition is met at any time when trading is open. I would like the order to position at the price point based on a percentage of the ATR. The pending order block has custom price not custom price fraction so the penidng order is placed at a price that is equal to the ATR and not the price amount based on the ATR.

Does anyone have any suggestions to help with this? As so far I am struggling to solve it.

Thanks very much.

@l-andorrà I'm confused, last time the indicator was on the chart you said to use the on chart section? How is this time different?

aslo, how should I modify the conditions block?

thanks for your help.

@l-andorrà Thanks. I moved it to the on chart section and used the indicator is visible, should the different colours be two different buffers, i'm realy confused how to get a buy or sell signal from the indicator is visible block instead of a condition. I've uploaded the code below and it has the colours green and magenta in it. But when I upload the indicator in fxdreema it looks like this.

@l-andorrà legend. Working now. Thanks again

@l-andorrà thanks. But are you able to offer any help with the other problem I am having trying to set stop loss and take profit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I managed to solve my problem above. i was loading the MQL5 program file instead of the source code file so now it is working.

Now when i'm testing I am trying to get the EA to set take profit on the ATR of the previous candle and the stop loss at 1.5 times the ATR of the previous candle. In the buy and sell brick I have put the following in but it doesn't seem to work. The stop losses are way to small and I get all losses.

Thanks for the help.

@l-andorrà Thank you for replying.

Sorry, I should have given better details. I have created an EA within Fxdreema, including using the custom indicators. I had success running the EA in the strategy tester of MT5 but then it stopped working an now says cannot find custom indicator error 4002. I checked the file path for when I created the indicator and that is correct. I used the setting below, are my data types correct?

My condition in the buy trade section of the EA looks like this

Is there anyway I can upload the fxdreema EA into the forum so you can have a look at it?
