We are going read values from Objects on the chart which are controlled by indicator, not values from buffers, that means, we dont need indicator in My Indicators because we are not going work with indicator directly.
Indicator must be inserted into chart manually (into same chart with EA).

here is indicator (note, is renamed, you can rename it as you wish)
0_1480901745242_Shved Supply and Demand (e600) length.ex4

and here is shared link to this strategy:
https://fxdreema.com/shared/JyxzKfdwd

now look how is this indicator working:

• is ploting dynamic zones:
  

• these zones are not from buffers, but from objects, so look how they are named:
  
  

See, Rectangle type with name begins as "SSSR" and than some incrementation with "R" or "S" and next info like "Weak", "Proven" ...

Our strategy can be (you can create another):

• when candle 1 closed inside zone, we leave EA waiting for next conditions
• when price go outside (next candle 1 closed outside) zone Up, EA open Buy, when outside zone Dn, EA open Sell
• zone width must be at least 1xATR
• SL and TP is some multiplicator from ATR indicator
• Lot size is risk percento from balance depending on SL

First we need 2 blocks which are selecting objects (rectangles) based on criteria:

next is switch which control if was price inside rectangle before and if EA is waiting for trade

after this are blocks which are working with selected rectangles
these blocks make some comparison with candle price and variable blocks save price from selected object into variables priceUp and price Dn for next comparison:

here are all blocks together needed for this strategy:

and this is result:

note: this is not profitable EA and is not for your real account, this tutorial shows only way, how to work with object from some indicators

note:

• with this way you can working with any object on the chart, also with own objects placed manually
• better if you give them name in chart and for selecting object you use block: "Select Object by Name"
• or you can read or compare values from objects also with other blocks:
  

that is all ...

Hi, I decided to share few tutorials, how to work with fxDreema.

All what I share is my style of creating EAs in fxDreema. If you are newbie, you can learn something here.

I start step by step, from beginners to advanced tutorials. I am not best in teaching somebody, also my english is not oxford, but I created a lot of EAs.

I share link with fully working EA where you find a lot of comments. You can work in this link, or better, you can generate mql code and import it into your new project to work with.
In next tutorials I will not commented all things, only news, or what I decided as important.
For next questions you can ask here in forum.

First tutorial is, how to create easiest EA, when 2 moving averages crosses, in this cross we open trade in counter-direction of cross. This tutorial is splitted into more parts, because I will show you how to make this "nonProfitable" strategy into human control to be potential profitable.

Click here for first part and enjoy:

Here I show you how to work with trendline.

Use this example only with Demo account and learn perfectly how it is working. I am not responsible for your money losses.

https://fxdreema.com/shared/Q13po8uvc

In example I will open trade on 4 possible situations:

you need create trendlines manually (for this example, but you can do this also automatically with EA using buttons, check my previous tutorial how to work with buttons)

in EA give name for this trendline in condition, and also the same name in chart for your trendline:

and this is live example:
dont forget, right name for trendline in chart:

trade when price break your TL from bellow above (buy based on conditions for myTrendline1):

or Sell for myTrendline2:

and when you place myTrendline2 (for Sell trade) above price, you wait for Sell when it break it from bellow, like this:

you can improve this example by other things, like delete TL after trade is opened (to prevent open another trades when your first is closed) or other things ...

fast tutorial how to find specific value in indicator history
my tip is, use Loop block

original project: 0_1488923868468_tutorial_loop.mq4
link: https://fxdreema.com/shared/CS0MvwQSc

here was question, how to find atr max/min values in specific period
https://fxdreema.com/forum/topic/4507/indicator-average-value-ichimoku
so we will find atr max and min and save it into variables for further calculation

1. create few inputs:
   
   and variables:
   
   values are saved into variables atrMax and atrMin
   variable atrNew is needed for temporary saved atr value and variable incr is needed for incrementation candle ID
   input lookBack is period where are you looking for values min max and atrPeriod is period of atr

2. next create this block connections:
   
   firstly you need null variables before loop start, atrMax is 0 but atrMin is "nulled" into high value because for further comparison

block Loop have in parameter lookBack period - it is, how many times is this loop repeated

next is save atr value from candle ID (variable incr) into variable atrNew:

block Condition for comparing if atrNew is > as atrMax:

if that is true, save atrNew into atrMax (atrMax=atrNew)

the same logic is for atrMin with slightly change in Condition:

3. after that atrMax and atrMin are saved and if loop find on lookBack period new atr which is higher/lower as previous, it is saved ... in that case dont forget for candle ID incrementation which is done with incr variable in next block:
   

4. with Comment check if it is working:
   

see, it is working:

...
the same logic you can use for moving average, RSI, stochastic, macd, custom indicator and all others

important note:
... be sure that each EA must have own variables file (1 EA >> 1 variables file), otherwise there will be a big fight between EAs .... 1.EA>>varSave1.txt ... 2.EA>>varSave2.txt ....

Sometimes we deal with situation, when EA have few critical variables and MT4 terminal must be restarted or was restarted by incident, these variables are no longer available and it can cause problems.
Values from history trades can be obtained from trades history, but sometimes can be calculation very complicated. For this situation exist another way how to avoid loss of variables. They can be stored into text file with every variable change. For this situation I prepared small example how to do it.

Example EA have two buttons. Try with tester.
https://fxdreema.com/shared/HtX9lP51c
After click on the button trade is opened (buy or sell). Here is small management with lots. When EA is inserted into chart, variable "varLotsBuy" get value from input parameter initLots1. After button click first trade (buy) is opened with "varLotsBuy". If this trade is closed with SL, variable "varLotsBuy" get value multiplied by input parameter "Lots1Multiplier". After new button click, next trade is opened with new value from variable "varLotsBuy". When trade is closed with TP, variable "varLotsBuy" is reseted from first value (initLots1).

0. Summary: initLots1=0.1, Lots1Multiplier=1.6
1. Buy: Lots=0.1, closed by SL
2. Buy: Lots=0.1*1.6=0.16, closed by SL
3. Buy: Lots=0.16*1.6=0.25, closed by TP
4. Buy: Lots=0.1

Example EA in chart:

EA is using few input parameters:

and few variables: (used are only varLotsBuy and varLotsSell, next variables are only as example)

on Init section draw two buttons and with Condition block (File exist) it check existence of "file with variables", if this file does not exist, EA continue with normal start (with nulled variables), but if file exist, custom code read and initialize variables from this file:

this is how code looks like:

strArr[20] is simple temporary array where values are readed from file, each line is one variable (size of array 20 can be increased to any higher size, depends on how much variables you need, it can by much more higher as count of variables, there is no strict rule)
at bottom of code are variables one after another, in my case they are:
varLotsBuy = (double)strArr[0];
varLotsSell = (double)strArr[1];
var0 = strArr[2];
var1 = strArr[3];
var2 = strArr[4];
var3 = strArr[5];
var4 = strArr[6];
var5 = strArr[7];
important are order and type of variables (order must be same as in file-write code)

on Tick section just open trades after button click:

and in on Trade section is calculation where variables are calculated/changed and re-saved into file:
(this saving into file can be done everywhere you need, in on Tick section, on Timer, on Chart ...)

and this how code for save into file looks like:

you see, pretty easy, nothing complicated .. variables are writed one after another with FileWrite function into new lines in file ... (once again, order of values in file is important, it must be compatible with file-read code)

File with variables is saved into MQL folder:

in case of tester it is file: tester\files\yourFileName.txt
in case of normal EA in chart: MQL4\files\yourFileName.txt

Note, that this file can be opened and edited also manually:

And when you need full reset of variables, before you place EA into chart, delete this file (or create input parameter for delete function, function for this is simple:
FileDelete(fileName,0);

I hope my explanation was not very complicated ... have a fun ...

Cheers ...

@alphaomega said in Help with MQL block and variables please:

@tipsywisdom Lol... or maybe he got himself in trouble with that magic and the FBI is looking for him... There are others here that is also wizz kids... Like @miro1360 but he seldom writes anything these days

This kid comes here from time to time and watches the creativity of other people

https://fxdreema.com/forum/topic/5084/is-it-possible-to-have-a-dropdown-list-for-inputs/10

because you messed up it completely ... I told many times, and I repeat myself once again and again: zigzag is not simple for beginners (or not coders)
... and I'm banging my head on the table, why the hell I got this idea to create the zigzag thread, because instead of explaining how the zigzag works I do the whole project for people from scratch ...

https://fxdreema.com/shared/8Xeio059c

Anyway, this is my last reply for this ZigZag thread. Everything was covered here into details with many examples ... If you does not understand zigzag, read it once again, and once again. Notice also how important are block IDs - order. If you failed, give a break for zigzag and do anything other. Come back after a few days and read everything again and give a new try.

You can use the trick with "int" conversion, but then put the variable in the Text(code input) option.
Text (code input) option must be selected.

In tutorial 01 I showed how to create easiest counter cross EA, in this tutorial you will see how to add inputs into EA with fxdreema.

Click on this link with EA for more details:
https://fxdreema.com/shared/G8goTenZb

When you will directly import that EA without creating block after block, do this:

1. generate mql code and save it somewhere:
   

2. import this generated file into projects:
   

Now is EA imported in projects and you can start work with them.

See step 1. (description in EA). where I am talking about constants, constants in fxdreema:

For adding constant into block parameter, do this with mouse right-click in field where you will add constant and select this constant. Now is this constant as Input parameter. But when you use constant as input parameter, leave input check-box unchecked:

Why to use constants in fxdreema instead input check box? Because you can add the same constant into more blocks.

You have successfully created input parameters for EA. Values are changeable in tester.

Hope it was fast and clear.

Next tutorial will be about buttons for this EA.

1.) Import with mq file:

Here I show you, how to add custom indicator into My Indicators in fxdreema and how to use this indicator in project. You can take any indicator, for this tutorial I created own indicator based on Trader Divergence Index. It are few moving averages over RSI and my own enhancement channel based on Standard Deviation multiplicator over market line (third MA).
First you need is know, how indicator is working and which values are in buffers.
For this, place indicator into chart and see:

On that picture observe indicator buffers in settings window how they are numbered (0,1,2,3,4, ...), these buffer indexes are important numbers for you.
In builder click on My indicators - Add custom indicator - Select, and find your mq file with indicator and ok:

.

click update and now you can working with this indicator ... see there buffers, parameters,

and next important: Candle ID ... for this candle ID you can observe from chart what values are in buffers
for my indicator it are values somewhere from 0 to 100, sometimes >100 or <0
Candle ID are indexes in buffers and buffers are holding values (for each candle ID is here value), small example:
Buffer0[0]=50
Buffer0[1]=52
Buffer0[2]=51
etc ... Buffer0[0]=50 means, that Buffer0 have on candle 0 value 50, Buffer0[1]=52 have on candle 1 value 52 ....

when are there negative candle indexes, like -1,-2,... you can read values from indicators that are ploting values into future (like ichomoku indicator) ... if you will this value, only you need is give negative Candle ID into block where you are working with indicator

note, you need compare values from indicator with adequate values (for this indicator, when value from buffer is 60, you can not compare it with value from candle price 1.1200, because how?)

when you will make cross green line above red line on candle 0 (candle 0 is not closed and it means repainting, but is fresh), this is way:

you can take cross also from candle 1 (this is closed candle and is not repaint - repainting this candle depends on indicator, because some indicators repaints all values) ... Candle ID in this case = 1

or you can make cross with two condition blocks with logic:
Buffer0[2] < Buffer1[2] AND
Buffer0[1] > Buffer1[1]

when you will make cross above value, lets say green line crosses UP value 68 (level 68) on closed candle 1, this is how to do:

2.) Import without mq file, with ex file:

If you dont have indicator mq file and only ex file, import can be done this way:
example is my ex file from indicator miro1360_DynamicMA, look for indicator behavior:

you see here 2 buffers
and also some input parameters:

now go to Builder and find your indicator ex file with My Indicator manager:

you see, after selecting indicator here are not buffers and parameters, so you need type them manualy, keep data types correctly, instead of enum datatypes you can use int (maybe, I am not sure with implicit conversion in MT5) ...
this picture show you correct values for this indicator:

click on update

indicator is imported and test it:

all is working as expected:

here are other indicators, with other type of buffers, like histogram (histogram is also value),
or arrows, like ADXcrosses, for this case you can use block called Indicator appear and select right buffer:

and it is working ok:

Important:
your indicators must be located in indicator folder and must have same name as in EA:
C:\xxxxxxxxxxxxx\MQL4\Indicators
(when experts are located: C:\xxxxxxxxxxxxx\MQL4\Experts)

here are some indicators that I used in this tutorial (they are maybe renamed after uploading, rename it as you wish):
1_1480900961494_miro1360_TDI_Dev_1.0.mq4
0_1480900961493_miro1360_TDI_Dev_1.0.ex4
0_1480901002364_ADXcrosses.ex4
0_1480901026428_miro1360_DynamicMA.ex4

all for this tutorial

Here I provide few ways (not all because here is a lot of ways) how to create something called "pattern formations".

Lets say we need identify Doji candle. Doji is candle with really small body, so our Doji have body smaller than 1.5 pips, we need it on H4 TF and we need alert + symbol on that candle, here is how to do it:

With similar way we can identify engulfing bar, this is how to find Bullish and Bearish Engulfing:

When we need 2 or x bulls/bears in row, when each have some amount of body pips, this can be way:

Or something more complicated called 3 White Soldiers / Black Crows, which are 3 consecutive bull/bear candles in row when each of candles is greater than 10 pips, and for Soldiers/Crows is each new High/Low/Open/Close higher/lower than previous this is how to do it
(identify 3 bulls, identify if new High is higher than previous, the same for Low, Open, Close and opposite for sell):

More complicated is to find Hammer based on % size, or any other Candle type based on some math calculation, this is one of ways how it can be done (other way can be using formula block + more variables, I did it with Custom code block as example)
(firstly read into variables prices for calculation - Open, Close, High, Low ,,, next make variable which hold state when condition is meet in custom code, next do custom code with calculation and comparison, result save into our variable for state (conditionPass=true or false) and last is Condition for alert)

This is result from visual tester:

After longer time I am adding new trick how I am using ZigZag indicator in fxDreema.

First something about ZigZag. ZigZag is indicator mostly used for plotting another lines based on its highs/lows, or placing pending orders here.
... but it is repainting indicator == dont expect 100% accuracy.
Most repainted is current leg - it can be used for comparing with previous legs (if last leg value is more or less as leg previous, but last leg is not good to use it for placing pending orders). Pending orders is good to place into previous legs.

This current leg can have two scenarios, these (and it is important for understand) :

Question is, is it possible in fxdreema to find, if current leg is "low" or "high" ?
Yes, it is, but it is little tricky.
In fxdreema can be legs found by ID. But you cant find if last leg is L0 or if it is H0. You can not use simple condition for comparing current price with zigzag leg ID(0).
For right comparison you need some small algorithm which create order for IDs (or in another words, find if L0_id is > or < as H0_id).

For this I create small algorithm which write zigzag candle ID values into variables called var_zz_H0_ID, var_zz_L0_ID, .......
parameter zz_ID_interval is candles interval, where searching is done
(note, important are only H0/L0 IDs, but I am creating this from my previous project where I had also H1 2 and L1 2 IDs, just for this example ignore H1,2 L1,2):

After this algorithm I can compare/find if last zigzag leg is Up/high or Down/low:

When I know this, I can use zigzag prices in right way (here for pending orders or ploting lines where current (not closed) zigzag leg is ignored) :

Inputs and variables used in project:

And result: ploting lines in tester where ZigZag current leg is ignored:

Shared project:
https://fxdreema.com/shared/8eW5li27d

Important note: Algorithm in this project was created fast, is not perfect, is slow and crazy behaviour can be expected. It can be done in better way, but I never needed another form

Do you think your karma will improve if you predict and talk about the karma of others and you don't focus on your own?

I advise you:

• forget about forex, forget about investing, forget about gambling
• instead of crying, find a regular job and finally start to fulfill your life with happiness, we can't help you here
• I'm sure the admin is making a refund, just ask him and say it didn't meet your expectations

generate mq code and import it to your projects from this link:
https://fxdreema.com/shared/1xokGRsgc
dont forget click between sections "on Tick" and "on Trade", both are used

also 1 variable:

for opposite situation create another one variable ...

hope you understand it

In this tutorial you can see, how to control part of blocks with more buttons, here is also solution of homework from tutorial 3

https://fxdreema.com/shared/UIUJQBy7d

for me fibo values are working

https://fxdreema.com/shared/oU9M1gD5d

be sure you have right name in blocks as your object have:

in this tutorial I show you how to apply some behavior to Buttons, like turn off Button after trade is opened and also how to use custom code block to recolor this button, hope you will like it ...

with this Tutorial 05 we also closed this EMA cross EA tutorials, for next tutorials I choose another example

//////////
you need to know, that with this button behavior you can work also in on Chart section which have faster reactions (or on Timer), but that is not working in tester, so that is why I show you how to work with this behavior in on Tick section to have your EA with buttons under fully control in tester
