So are you saying that the block passing or not is based on the "$ amount" and "> than" / "< than" settings?

Got it. Thanks

That didn't work either. But it seems that what your saying is the difference between Time 1 and Time 2 in the "Check Profit (period of time)" block has nothing to do with the block passing. Is that True?

Block "Check Profit (period of time)"

I made an Test EA that should Once a bar, check between 12:00 and 16:00 daily, the block should "pass" if less than $1000 profit is made. (The EA doesn't take any trades so profit is always under $1000.)

My assumption is that the block would NOT pass outside 12:00 to 16:00 time regardless of profit amount. But it "passes" the whole time. Like the time filter doesn't work.

Is this a Bug?

My goal is to have from 07:30 to 19:00 the block to pass if $2000 has not been made in that time period. and to not pass if $2000 profit has been made.

Hey jstap, thanks for the reply.
I'm not sure if I understand what your saying. This EA is to test the functionally of the "Check Profit (period of time)" block.
The draw block time is set to now. "Once per Candle" (Time candle 0) if "Check Profit" block time and conditions are met, it should draw once per candle in the selected time period of the Check Profit block.

I'm trying to make an EA that has two trading periods per day, that it takes trades until "X" amount of profit is made in THAT time period.

I am using the block "Check Profit (period of time)"

As I understand it, it should draw a green line for the entire first session and a red line for the entire second session, as the "Test" EA does not take any trades, so the profit is under the set <lower than profit target. and no line that is outside of both of the two session time frames.

When I run it in the mt4 Strategy Tester it draws a red line for a whole day of only one day of the month long test.

I'm confused, and I'm sure doing something wrong. can anyone point me in the right direction. Thx

I guess it's just magic.

Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong.

I don't matter it I use Candle High, Low, Open, Mid in "Price (1)" It only uses Candle Close.

@pipologist

So I guess this can't be done?

I'm using the "Check Profit (Period of Time)" block for the EA to stop taking and close existing trades after "X" amount of profit is made in a time period.

Is there a way to show the current profit in the "Check Profit" blocks time period that the block is responsible for in the comment block?

This should show the total for all trades taken and in all pairs in the time period with a magic number.

At this point it doesn't look like the Check Profit block is resetting (profit at $0) at the "time 1".
It would be nice to see what's going on. And during normal trading it would be nice to see progress.

Thanks guys.
That was it. I appreciate your help.

I uploaded an indicator but when I download a mq4 from fxdreema and compile it I get 7 errors saying 'ma_sms' - undeclared identifier.

There is no "ma_sma" in lower case in the indictor. Anyone have any ideas what's going on?

Can someone confirm if an EA is used on more than one chart at a time, if the EA on one chart turns on/off a Block across all charts/pairs that the EA is on?

It is the first option under the "More..." Tab (listed on the left)

The comment box shows the the proper value. (Buy ATR/Sell ATR)
I believe the problems come from the value having too many digits to the right of the decimal point. (ie. 000.00000000) as it works fine when using a variable with value given with the right chart format (000.000 usd/jpy)
Can anyone confirm this?
and if so, is there a way to convert this to the right format.

I'm using PRICE - ATR*3 which is giving me the excessive digits

Can someone explain how to use a MA of an indicator.

For an example, I'm using the " On Balance Volume" indicator, I have a MA attached to that indicator using the "Apply to: First Indicator's data" option.

?

Trying to make the value of Horizontal line a Variable.

Comment label shows a 10 digit number that I believe is price with the decimal point in the wrong spot, when there is no Object named. And when there is a Object named, the value shows 0.
