@l-andorrà I tried this on a live demo account and I still have the same problem , some trades are being executed while others are not even though they have the same condition. How would changing the magic number make a difference since I am only trading the eur/usd and on the 15 min timeframe only ?

For example if I am using the 15 min chart, is there a way to enter the trade at 14:59 of the 0 candle just before the close so that I avoid slippage?

@l-andorrà Yes. I am using the mt4 strategy tester on tick basis , regarding the criteria for both trades they are the same on the examples shown above (candle close below 200EMA and MACD cross below happening above the MACD zero line) which is why I am baffled by half the trades not being taken . The same conditons are being met but the trade isnt being taken all the time. Could it be that the strategy tester is not taking the trades , but these trades would be taken on live trading ?

Just to clarify what is happening
1-missed trade example :

2-Taken trade with same conditions:

So, does it depend on how much there is a difference between the candles?
If yes , then even when a cross happens if there isn't enough difference in price between the candles a trade will not be executed?

Hello, I am using the MACD crossover between the main and signal line. My understanding of the cross width that has a minimum value of 1 , is the area between the main line and the signal line when the crossover happens. I believe this is causing trades to be missed when the cross over does not have sufficient area between the two lines. Is there a way around this problem ?

Thank you for your reply, My 200 EMA problem is solved. If it is possible to help me with another problem. The EA is missing certain trades because of the cross width being at minimum of 1 which means if the initial cross over is small the trade will not be executed. When the execution condition is set to above or below these trades are taken but with no limits and a trade is executed on every bar after the cross over. Is there a way to use the above or below condition for the MACD but execute the trade only once after the cross over ?

My buy setup rules are as follows:

• Price needs to be above 200EMA
  -MACD should be below 0 level and the mainline crosses above the signal line
  PROBLEMS:
  -1st condition for the 200EMA is not always respected
  -Entry is not always on the close of the candle even when there is no slippage . In case of slippage is it possibile to enter at 14:59 time of the 0 candle ID on the 15 min time frame
  Examples
  Below is attached two images one of the chart that shows 2 trades (1st trade should not happen because it is below the 200ema)
  2nd image shows my fxdreema blocks
  

@roar Thank you for your fast reply , I think my money management problems are solved.

Hello, I want to use the ATR value at the close of the current candle to risk 2% of my account based on 1.5 ATR Stop Loss and 2.25 ATR take profit for each trade.
This not working as the EA is giving errors when using this approach.Any help ?
