Oh, goodness, @roar hahaha
I added a bunch of new variables and stuff to the project, also, just not in that area. So, reverse variables? It does the opposite of what's stored in the variable or something?
I guess there's no list of these or something anywhere? My project has like 20 variables and another 20+ constants hahaha.
Thanks for the reply.
I had an EA that was working great, but I wanted to make a V2.
I imported the MQL file into the builder and named it with V2.
I decided to rename a variable (from Total Trade Risk to BaseRisk). It was used in calculations for % Risked per trade.
Once I change that, I added a bunch of stuff to the EA, but I didn't mess with the original stuff. (What I mean is, I have a criteria when my balance is at or below starting balance, keep doing the exact same thing as before. I added a new branch off of a condition that balance had increased, basically and that's where the new stuff happened). So, I left all the original stuff untouched.
It went from placing lots from 0.05-0.11 or so based on the SL and stuff.
Now? Every single trade is 0.01 lots. I've been trouble shooting for like an hour and all I can remember doing that might have affected it is renaming that constant.
Does this often break stuff? It appears the builder renamed it in all the boxes that I used it in, but for some reason...this issue is a thing.
Thanks for the reply.
Is it for every order on every pair? Or just for ones on pairs that the EA executed on?
Like, if I have it on AUDCAD and EURUSD and I have trades on both of those pairs, will the EA on the AUDCAD start trying to manage my trades that were issued on EURUSD also? Or does the EA know how to filter that? Does this have to be specified, is what I'm asking.
I'll have this EA running on 28 pairs and I'm concerned it'll start managing other trades from other pairs since it's the same account.
If I have an EA running on a pair, and it opens trades, but other pairs also open trades and my EA is set to move trailing stops and stuff:
Is it only going to move it for trades it opened on that specific pair, or is it going to move them for ALL trades, even ones originated from other trade windows?
Thanks! I didn't see that! I looked through the help pages that have the little categories at the top and, while many were helpful in other ways, I felt the chart stuff was less than ideal. This looks like it might put me on the right track.
Thanks so much!
Hello, All! Another FxDreema nub here!
Cutting to the chase.
I have an indicator that draws rectangles on chart above and below current price. These rectangles update at regular intervals, so the objects do get deleted every so often and new ones are constantly forming. These rectangles come in a few varieties, but the ones I'm most interested in have specific object names (certain words are in their titles, distinguishing them from the others). I plan on using them multitime frame, also. (I've never messed with MTF in strategy tester/EA building). In real time, these rectangles update at the interval of the higher time frame.
Say for instance, I'm building an EA for 15m, but the indicator will be set on the 4 hour time frame. I assume I can run it on a "once per bar" and set it for 4hr bars?
Mainly, though, I need a way to have the EA, after checking these 4 hour bars, to locate all the rectangles on the chart with either of those two words in the names. I then need it to take the price level for the lowest point and the highest point of those rectangles, and store them in variables.
I'm most interested in the rectangles closest to the price (above and below) and less worried about the ones above or below that. If there's a way to target those based on price proximity, that's totally fine.
If not, I can handle all that algebraically once the price levels are all inside variables.
I would absolutely love a simple explanation on the logic needed to handle this situation. Brownie points if you take the time to include a simple screenshot or something visualizing the nodes and what their flow should look like. I've got virtually no experience with loopy type stuff on here, but I'm a quick learner.
Thanks so much in advance!
