@roar i do know this. If you draw a trendline and connect it to 2 candle lows, or 2 candle highs. Could you then explain me how i can grab the candle ID that is found at the times of these candle lows or highs?

@roar thanks for the quick respond Roar. I dont need to measure the slope, i only need to copy the source values and use that information to plot a TL.

Right now i am trying to look if i can somehow obtain the candle ID of those price points within a variable, and use that variable within copy attributes. No luck so far..

I created a topic on this not too long ago, but for some reason it doesnt show on the forum.

I try to achieve something that i think is not too complex. I want to copy values from one source to another, and plot the results from this source in a TL afterwards.

When it comes to TL's there is no problem with time, but for prices i need the trendline to use the candle low or high found at time 1 and 2 (tl connection points)

Question: how do i make use of both candle ID’s that are connected to time 1 and time 2 of the first source? To then define whether the actual trendline needs to be drawn onto the candle low or high of corresponding candle ID on selected markets?

Post edit #2: Problem was a bit vague. Nonetheless is has been solved.

@trader-philipps

At first i did not want to use this block because i want to maintain a minimum SL. I just realized however that i could combine the modify stop block with a counter pass "n" times block. Within the modify stops block i use % of current SL, which will be trigged "x" times. Tested and this seems to do the job just fine as an alternative. Thanks for your insight.

@l-andorrà

Per time interval i wish to shrink my stops by
certain amount, but i do not wish to have the TP impacted at all.

@roar

While “0” works whenever a TP is set on a trade (it does not change the TP here), it will use a TP of “0” whenever the trade does not have a TP, instant killing the trade. I would rather have the option to disable this part of the block, and let the TP be decided in other parts of the system.

Hello, i am running into an issue with the " shrink stops" block.
At the moment i want to do something with the following settings:

What i notice however is that each TP pre-set on trades will be overruled by the value in pips put here. If i leave this box empty "0" will be used, if i put 50 the 50 will overwrite any TP's <50.

Is there a way to not only use " no change" for shrink TP, but also for the minimum TP to not impact current TP's at all? Positions without a TP would not receive a new TP by means of minimum TP for that matter..

Thanks for the replies! Especially the 2nd post is a nice starting reference for what i am trying to achieve. I will experiment around with it.

In order to create custom dynamic support and resistance with fxdreema, i want to know how much time was spend at price levels (or zones). My idea here is to plot a single object per candle median, to then count how many objects were created within a specific zone that i created. These zones will then be flagged, based on the sum of total objects created. One can consider this a type of volume profile. A high amount would reflect a high volume zone, and vise versa.

My questions are the following.
#1 While i am able to create an object for each candle, is there a way i can count the amount of objects created? I will do this between horizontal line A and B.

#2 is there a way to plot objects on the past " x" candle's? I only seem to be able to find single candle ID to do this (so ID 1 for the previous candle etc). I would want to be able to put in 1440 for the previous day for example. 1440 objects will then be plotted across multiple zones, that are then defined by either many, or little time spend by price.

#3 is there a more efficient way to achieve my goal with fxdreema? Just wondering if any of you out there have some suggestions. Thanks!

That did the job! Probably the most fast solution i have ever received Thank you. On a sidenote i had to change a little bit regarding candle ID for it to work.. Instead of find candle by candle ID i had to change it to timestamp as well; https://fxdreema.com/shared/zTDnSF0kc

Problem solved!

So i made a very simple script : https://fxdreema.com/shared/cMuFPGPXc
The idea is to simply draw a TL from either the low or high of a candle. Now i wish to manually input a timestamp inside MT4 when the script is started. So at above example the TL would start at low of a candle at timestamp 1, and is connected to the low of a candle, found at timestamp 2. I checked both boxes for input optimalization, yet i cannot seem to edit any values when i start the script..

I now know why it does not work on offline charts, the description of price x> indicator states it uses the BID price. Offline charts dont use bid and ask... Isnt there any alternative i could use to reach the same goal?

The idea is to have certain custom pricelevel hit, and when it hits it will simply place either a buy or sell pending order on a specific chosen market. The blocks I have used in order to reach this are the following: https://fxdreema.com/shared/vpxtRnVnc The problem i face however is while the code works properly when the EA is applied on existing pairs, it does not on synthetic self created offline charts. These offline chart are updating tick by tick and have their own synthetic pricelevels. How do i make it so that these levels are recognized by the EA, so that once their custom price is hit, it will still open a pending order in given market? Thank you

Same problem here, cannot save the mq4 or ex file onto my harddrive

Many thanks, this makes things clear. I think i dont have to search any further for alternative solutions/ea's as this would seem to do the job

At the moment i am using pending orders that sometimes include a tight stop. On heavy volatile pairs during Tokyo session I had my SL hit a few times because the broker widened the spread. The ASK price would hit my SL from 20 pips below during sell limit orders on these pairs...

I tried several EA's that manually closes the trade when an horizontal SL or TP line was hit (stealth, hidden TP/SL). A few worked but they would also close open trades randomly, for no reason....

Decided to check if fxDreema had an option for hidden stops and was glad to find the "virtual stop" option! Too bad i found this 30 minutes ago, now that the markets are closed.... I am looking forward to experiment with this when the markets will open again.
I did some searching on the fxDreema forums but couldnt find some clear answers as what they exactly are..

**1. **Lets say i put a pending sell limit at a price level that includes a pre-defined hard-stop and hard-take profit. Am i correct that upon filling the limit order, the pre-defined stop is now overwritten by a horizontal line that acts as a trigger stop once the BID price hits this line (so spread spikes wouldnt trigger it)?

**2. **The relative size within the Project Options -> Emergency stops -> "x" times bigger. Does it also work on values <1, (example 0.5)?

3. Is there a way to use "add pips" or "relative size" as an input parameter string, so that values can be modified within MT4 itself, instead of changing values within the MQ4 file on each trade?

4. Is there a security mechanism in place in case the BID price hits the SL level, yet not closing the trade? Some kind of loop that repeats a check of current price in relation to the horizontal line and then closes the trade if conditions are met?

**5. **Lets say price fills my sell limit with an SL being <40 pips. Spread at the moment of filling however is 40>pips. This would still trigger my SL because a virtual stop would not have the chance to "transform" the hard stop into a virtual one?

**6. **Do you think in the future there might be a possibility for a virtual take profit as well?

Thanks for all your great work!

Bumping this topic. At the moment i am trying to shutdown my computer with a POST Webrequest that should trigger an external script on address:

http://localhost:8000/?action=System.Shutdown

Allow Webrequest under MT4 is enabled and the HTTP request address is the exact same as mentioned above.
Errors i am getting are:

WebRequest error code: 5200
WebRequest Error: Invalid URL (http://localhost:8000/?action=System.Shutdown)

I tried a different URL, which gave me another error code: 4000, among with response code 405. I did some searching and this apparently means "no error". Now my question is what options i have with above address. Should i make a domain and redirect its URL to the address that has my script or is there another solution?
