Is there an easier way to change input values? For example, if my EA has a SL value of 20, but I want to change it to 10, can I do that from the chart itself? Currently, I have to right-click the chart, select Experts, select Properties, find the input row that I want, change the value, and save. I'm guessing there is a quicker way but I've always done it this way. I'm looking at scalping more and need to be quicker. Thanks
@jstap Thank you, but this will not work the way I need it to as it uses "Shift Back." I need to be able to enter a specific date and time as the starting value. Thank you for this however
@l-andorrà I noticed that Champ mentioned he watches your videos. Do you have a You Tube channel?
Thank you. I have no problem with the "Bucket Of Open Trades," but only the "Bucket of Closed Trades." I like the convenience of this block because I can enter the "start" time right in the block, and it works fine in the strategy tester. I looked at the pink block called "For Each Closed Position," but I could not get that to work or find any documentation about closed trades.
I want to know the value of the closed trades after a certain date and time. For example, in the "Bucket Of Closed Trades," I can enter the start time as components like month = 5, day = 2, hour = 1, and min = 15, etc., right in the block itself. Can you duplicate that function using "For Each Closed Position"
However, this DOES work for Strategy Tester on all pairs.
This has always worked fine. A few months ago, I noticed it would not work on most pairs, but on a few, it did. This happens on both The5%ers and Traders Way. I've tried everything, even creating a simple EA that ONLY contains the Bucket Of Closed Positions block. This morning, for example, on Traders Way, GBPCAD works, but GBPUSD does not. On the The5%ers, AUDJPY works, but GBPCAD and GBPNZD do not. This has been happening for a few months now. I've been trying to code around it, but this block is crucial to my EA strategy. Any ideas? Is anybody else having issues?
Thank you but this is only good if I am trading one pair, then Equity Profit is fine. But I need values per pair/chart which overall Equity won't help. "Bucket Of Trades" won't work on Darwinex Zero so I was hoping that "Loop For" might work. Maybe I'll have to look for the actual MQL5 code and add it in as a custom code.
I downloaded and it works fine. Did you remember to turn the input for "mode pending stop" to TRUE? (by default it is FALSE)
Is there anything we can do with "Loop for Positions & Orders" that can basically provide the same result as "Bucket of Positions & Orders"? As I trade more than one pair at a time I need to know the value of all Open trades on a specific chart. Without "Bucket of Positions & Orders" I can't see another way to get this number but, that said, I'm hoping there is a workaround in "Loop for Positions & Orders". I've been using a Trade Copier for now but it is not a good solution as the feeds are different enough that I can make money on a trade on the master account and actually lose money on that same trade on the slave account.
I have spoken to the admin and he needs more details but the challenge is I can only duplicate this issue on a live account with real dollars. Everything works fine in Strategy Tester but I will get something to him soon.
Thank you... I have reached out... this is a mystery that only he can solve methinks
Thanks, l'andora, yes I thought it important enough to make sure it got seen. I won't do it again as I see you saw both posts. Can I contact Admin directly somehow? Haven't seen how to that yest
The "Bucket Of Positions" tag will not work on the Darwinex Zero MT 5 Live Server. Some tags work but this critical one will not. Is there anything in the code that the tag represents that could be "iffy"? Even from a security POV? I can't think of anything else and they are no help at all as they just blame the EA.
I think this is worth looking into as Darwinex Zero has huge momentum right now after MFF collapsed.
I'm asking this here because at the level support I'm at now with Darwinex Zero support they don't have a clue what I'm talking about.
I have an MT5 that I developed with fxdreema. It runs fine any any broker I've ever tried and that is quite a few. It also runs fine on the Darwinex Zero Strategy Tester.
BUT it will not run properly on the actual account.
Some tags work but a simple tag like "Bucket Of Positions" will not bring any results from all open trades... as said it does everywhere except their actual trading platform. I tried using a Group for a particular entry and still no go.
I know this has to be a Darwinex Zero issue but they just aren't understanding what I'm trying to say. They just keep telling me they can't support my EA
A. has anybody else tried this?
B. has anybody found any other service that might disable some tags from fxdreema?
I did try a few other simple EAs (not fxdreema) and they worked but I don't have too many of those.
Thank you all. Very helpful. Will be giving this a shot.
Thank you very much very helpful. I have copy/pasted the code block you provided and have created some of the variables as "double" types successfully. However, I still get a compilation error when trying to declare some of them.
TimeToStr
TimeLocal
TimeCurrent
TimeGMT
I have tried them as double, string, and even tried datetime variable types with no luck. (MT5). Can you help a little furher?
Thank you again
I can easily display the current time in real-time using fxDreema built-in functions which are great.
However trying to capture the current time, place it into a variable or constant and then use it later as a value in something like Bucket of Closed Positions or even display it is something I have been unable to do.
I can end up with a value like 1652845765.0 but don't know what to do with that?
Any help appreciated.
I use the spread filter on every EA I build and test, it's invaluable. I thought I could use it in a script and also protect that pending order from triggering during the crazy rollover spreads we get. That does not appear to be the case. It will prevent me from using the script but not the actual triggering of the order. Is this the case or am I wrong here?
If I place the pending order using an EA then the spread filter will prevent the actual placement of the pending order during wide spreads but what about the triggering of the order? I can't really test this in Strategy Tester so I would hope somebody might know.
Meanwhile, I will try and test this live with a .01 trade.
OK, I figured this out but don't know how to publish it here for anybody that might need the same. I will describe it for now.
First I use "Bucket Of Closed Trades" to get the trade "Count" from the date and time I want (usually the beginning of the trading week).
Then I use that value in the "For Each Closed Trade" Loop to only gather the last "n" trades that I need".
If anybody can point me to how I can publish the project here (maybe it's just a link?) I'm happy to show the code.
I can't see how to do this. Say I wanted to know how many pips were lost or won over the last few days on one currency pair. Bucket Of Trades tag can look after the timing on the server by only finding trades executed over a certain period of time but can not find the number of pips.
Loop For Trades tag can find the pips but not for a specific TIME period (not the number of trades as will vary so is unknown).
Is there a way to find this? Something I'm missing? Thanks, everybody.
Thanks all. For now, I'm using a free indicator from MQL5. Quite nice but only shows closed trade values. "Draw Profit".
