thats right

put a condition block before buy/sell block

condition: stoch > 20 to sell
condition: stoch < 80 to buy

it is up to you which line you choose, main line or signal

Fractal value is candle high or low.
A fractal formation needs 2 candles to confirm, so you will never know if candle (id 1) has a fractal or not. Use id 2

@miro1360
Oh, youre right

Two conditions:
candle close > high candle id 3
OR
candle close < low candle id 3

IDs are not negative, btw

Yes you do. At the latest candle you can now see where MA was 15 candles ago.
So, condition: candle (id 0) > ma shift 15 (id 0)
you get the same result with this condition: candle (id0) > ma (id 15)

@ggrobot said in PAST MOVING AVERAGE DEFINITION:

look at the example, , the green MA20 is shifted -15

Remove the - (minus) symbol +15

Also, you can use the ID method with indicators too, just like candles.

when editing the condition block, hit "more settings" and there you can adjust the ID.

But working with shift is literally the same as working with candle id:
MA shifted 2 = MA (id2)

How is shifting the ma wrong?

Do you mean you want to compare candle (id5) to MA (id5) ?

I think you have to use two condition blocks. First one checks simple "<" or ">" and the last one checks the crossover.
Now you can use the first condition's yellow output

How do you determine the TP in first place?

If you connect your trailing stop block to condition block's yellow output, trailing works only when condition is false

Ok
Well, I think you will learn these eventually anyway, if you are going to be successful ea builder

The idea in this is to count bars, and then check the counted bars before buying or selling. If there is a spike, the counting starts from 0, and so no trading for a while.

This is what I use in similar tasks. There is probably simplier solutions..

As you can see, it pauses when there is an impulse.
You can adjust the impulse size with minRatio constant (bigger ratio, bigger impulse)

Of course you can control your trades, but what do you want, exactly?
That the trades don't open every bar? Then use "once per minutes" bar, for example.

sorry, youre right, there is still some stupid bug I can't understand

I got my example working too, had to reset the high/low variable (to 0) at closing block.

Btw, this principle is not far from just using Trailing stop

Thats quite insightful solution
And should even work!

It sends a file to your website, or any ftp server you have access to.
In metatrader, go to Tools->Options->FTP to set up your server details

Oh, okay, thats strage
The formula block is now putting "10" to a price, for example 1.16590 + 10 = 11.16590
Reeally strange

I didn't test it myself
