I disagree with myself too, lol

Yes, news filter does have a benefit, to not open a trade 1 minute before NFP and such... But its not as important as many believe. Its the 99th step of making a good EA. Profitability of an EA will not and should not depend on news filters, unless you are intentionally building a macro data EA.

I won't go into "prop firms" topic, as in my view those are just clever marketing schemes instead of actual trading institutions.

@l-andorrà

1. Size is lot size, but "value" is a percentage of equity, the user input in in the "risk % of equity" setting. You can replace the whole ((value/100)/AccountEquity()) part with your own money variable.
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. You can see how TickValue is fetched with SymbolInfoDouble() function a bit higher up in my screenshot. You can use that method or the fxdreema dropdown, its the same thing.
   I think you need to always use PipValue(symbol) as a custom function, there is no drop-down selection for that.

@Chen-7 here is the label:

For BE, I would try setting some "pips on profit" value, maybe it cannot be empty. If that fails, reconstruct the BE using the purple blocks: for each trade -> check profit -> once per trade -> modify SL

@daraseunmi you have selected to draw one line per candle, and redraw (move) the line when the requirements are met another time.

Try setting these to "No".

But a custom (seconds) chart might very well be an issue, I dont know about those.

On every source code downloaded from fxdreema, there is a function called DynamicLots. Inside that function is an equation that calculates the lot size using a price distance (the SL) and a money value (% of equity).

With some high school math, you can reverse that equation to calculate a price distance using the lot size and money value.
@sktsec 's example appears to be about right

@Chen-7 I think the alert data rows always need some label, it cannot be empty.

In the BE block, you need to change the group filter as you did in the Position block.

12 and 56 are not block numbers, they are values in some fields.

To find those fields, download the mq5 file and try to compile in your MetaEditor. The error message will show the problematic code lines, and then you can find the corresponding fxdreema block.

@gooseman oh, you need to repeat the same symbol on multiple timeframes?

Then I think its best to use the Set TF loop block with multiple fixed timeframes (just put all the timeframes you ever use in this block).

Next 2 blocks will filter out the symbol-timeframe pairs that are not allowed. Then we continue with the rsi target setting block.

And yes, we can use the pipes again, but only in the condition block

Just apply some filter. Once per bar

@cyberspace just select A=No to see all rectangles

@cyberspace to see the variables, just download the .mq5 file and then import it to your builder

@gooseman MT5 data handling is sometimes a mystery, but I would assume getting only D1 time is enough to refresh all timeframes.

Also, you can keep the time array sized 1. It will just be written over again and again, and its not a problem because we dont actually use the time value.

I use this method On Tick, but On Init should work fine.

@gooseman you need a time array, yes.

If you use custom mql code block, you can put this inside it:

datetime time_arr[1];  // Creates an array sized 1
CopyTime("EURUSD", PERIOD_D1, 100, 1, time_arr);

Thats it. This code doesnt need any constants or variables from your list. You will however need to replace "EURUSD" in some loop.

This problem is also mentioned here

I think it needs addressing @fxDreema

https://fxdreema.com/shared/z17uZY58b

This example should get you going

To "wake up" your symbols before getting indicator data on them, you can use CopyTime function:
https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/series/copytime

CopyTime("EURUSD", PERIOD_D1, 100, 1, time_arr)

This prepares 100 days of history data, for example

@andrewfrank indicators work very differently on mql5. It would be easier to just use the "modify variables" block rather than custom code, when getting indicator outputs.

But if you do it the custom way, you must first "load" the MACD indicator with the code you mentioned, and then use CopyBuffer() function to read some value from that indicator.

It seems MT5 got a resolution selection in the latest update. I suppose this helps with objects

So the mistake was in my own example. Eh, sorry

I usually do that step in the quick adjust, no need to select datatype
