@ajmd97fx there's an example on the mql4 page:

//--- example of sorting of one dimensional array
double num_array[5]={4,1,6,3,9};
//--- now array contains values 4,1,6,3,9
ArraySort(num_array);
//--- now array is sorted 1,3,4,6,9
ArraySort(num_array,WHOLE_ARRAY,0,MODE_DESCEND);
//--- now array is sorted 9,6,4,3,1

@ajmd97fx I think sorting your array would be nice

@lali try these 2 changes.

I see only a martingale. You will get better chances at a casino.

@t-fah Yeah, seems there is some variation in the data.

@t-fah if it doesnt repaint, how do you explain the different readings? In one picture they cross, in other they dont.

@alphaomega the "position created" may still have some problems.. You dont have to use that block or "On Trade" tab at all. Just modify the stops after doing the orders:

@t-fah from the pictures, you can clearly see that the same indicator gives different values for the same day. It repaints.

@seb-0 I agree, fixed-length regression indicators are just glorified moving averages. In the example the array has a fixed size of 300, but surely you can change that according to some anchor point calculation. I often use the most recent volatility spike as a starting point.

I dont really know if regression channels are very useful. Maybe they can be used to find very stable and linear trends: compare the amount of close prices near the regline to the amount of close prices away from the regline...

@seb-0 Yeah I used to do this with blocks, but gradually learnt this more compressed method.

Mt5 works as well, but you have to reset the variables each time before calculation:

@alphaomega this comparison gives trouble:

Just set it to "equal to 0" (or just use "no trade" block), then I think your grid will work.

Also, you dont need MathSrand(GetTickCount()) code, that was just setting some random lot sizes in my test. You dont have random lot sizes here.

@jsauter86 I didnt...

Drawing a regression line is all about finding the slope, or beta coefficient.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_linear_regression

When beta is found, we can draw the line knowing that it passes through average x (time) and y (price) values.

Here's how the above equation is done in mql4:

@bryan01993 I used three symbols, those have the most data available.

I think its best to investigate this problem with a smaller project (and less symbols) first, so you can exclude other possible explanations

@bryan01993 selected symbol always matters, because the EA runs its code on each tick of that symbol. Also, if you select a huge number of symbols, the tester might run out of ram allocation, producing bad results. I got same result for single test and all symbols optimization (EURUSD).

@aeivan you going to have use actual mql code for that. Here's a starting point: https://docs.mql4.com/indicators/imaonarray
I wont answer any follow-up questions, though (because I cant lol)

@stomper yeah, I guess

@drewliedadeuce ok, if RSI condition is unable to happen, of course bollinger band condition happens first. Why is that a problem?

it no longer checks for the RSI parameter because it gets to the bollinger band first.

The EA cannot predict ahead of time, whether the RSI will happen or not.

@drewliedadeuce uh, please explain how you want the conditions to happen

@drewliedadeuce just connect the blocks in parallel, so they dont depend on the rsi cross thing.

@drewliedadeuce you dont listen to me, lol

In block 29:

• ORANGE (true) activates when RSI crosses below70
• YELLOW (false) activates when RSI crosses above 70
