Thank you @jstap !

Thank you, I will try that out! @Dore

Hi everyone,

I am trying to get the following to work:

When a button on the chart is pressed, it should change color. When it is not pressed, it should have it's original color.
At this moment, when I press the button, nothing happens to the colour at all and I am still stuck at part one of what I want it to do, namely change colour when it is pressed.

In this example I have no "pass" button connected to the on chart blocks, but i found that the results were the same.
I spent time browsing through the tutorials, but obviously I am missing something.

Other things I tried were:
I tried creating a block with "mouse clicked on object" but then I run into the problem that the conditions that you can put under there
[object on the chart] - only has button state pressed/depressed and not either/or pressed.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for reading!

omg L'andorra, I have been wracking my brain as to why it wouldn't work and now it does! Thank you so so much!

Hello fxdreema fans,

I am trying to create an expert that will set my take profit for me after I initiate a buy or a sell. Way back (>2 years ago) I created some bots with fxdreema that worked, but they all had a buy now or a sell now block in it. And this time I want to manually decide when I buy or sell and have the expert set tp for me.

Can someone let me know what I am doing wrong? Even just pointing me in the right direction would help a lot.
The expert loads fine in MT4 but then does nothing. Allow live trading is enabled on my demo account.

Also, the comment block is not important so that can be ignored.

Thanks for reading!

@fxDreema Thanks for explaining! I now see that I had interpreted the add volume wrong and that it won't lead to what I am trying to do here

@roar thanks very much for your explanation, that actually helped a lot. I am still not getting the results I want, but now I do think it's achievable, so I'm back to the drawing board with this. Thanks again!

Hi there!

Thanks again for your thoughts

What I want is this:

pending order triggers -> pending order takes profit -> pending order with the same settings is created.

I have about 12 pending orders with different entry prices and take profits per trade. The entry prices and take profits will always have the same price offset and will depend on the entry of the buy or sell order.

This loop should last untill a (parent) buy or sell order with a specific take profit (10 pips) is closed by take profit.

I was trying to work around the add volume only being available for trades, but I am now also learning to code MQL4 so I am hopefull that if this is not achievable in fxdreema I will eventually be able to code it myself, although that will probably take a lot of time before I am there

Happy Saturday!

bumping this one...anyone have an example for me how to use the "for each pending order loop" like fxdreema here described? Pulling my hair out here trying to understand how this block works to create a cycle.

@fxDreema I am having trouble getting the loop to work, would you be able to elaborate with making a short example of what you wrote above? I am not asking you to make it for me, just a short example to get me on the way.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks I will try to do that!

The pending order "cycle" I am trying to create is a series of 12 pending orders (each with a different tp/sl). When one of the orders takes profit, it should be put back into the pending order list. Right now, I was thinking of giving each p/o an individual group number, and then have the EA check per group number if it t/p. When that value is true, there would be a new block of 12 p/o's with the same values (different group numbers again) with the t/p check, and so on and so on and so on. Downside is the maximum amount of cycles = the amount of pending order blocks created. Perhaps I could get it to work with the loop you suggested.

Hi fxdreema,

Will "add volume" become available to pending orders in the near future?

Kind regards,
Kris

Hello again,

Thanks for your answers! No trade -> delete pending orders makes more sense indeed. Thank you!

I have a question about the pink block " add to volume" it says in the (?) that it only works for trades. Does this mean it does not work for pending orders that have triggered their price and turned into trades? or will this still be seen as a pending order?

I am trying to make a block that will see that a pending order has been activated and takes profit, to then copy that pending order and put it back in the pending orders list. Does the (?) in the ' add volume" mean that this is not possible?

Right now I have:

for each pending order -> check how it was closed (take profit) -> add to volume.

Thanks for reading!

Hello!

I am a new subscriber to this wonderful EA software, and I can say I am a little addicted to it

I have recreated several EA's from tutorials by various people online, so I could learn how this works. I also have been reading the Q&A here and have found that to be very useful.

I do have a few things I haven't quite figured out and would love it if you could take a look with me.

First thing:
I would like to have an x amount of pending orders that - after taking profit - will be put back into the pending order list or loop. The pending orders are triggered after two initial buy orders.

I have tried to use the deep pink block (for each pending order), but I think I don't know how to get it to work, as none of the pink (or other colored) conditions seem to make sense to me to create this loop. I have tried placing it on "On Tick" and on "On Trade" as well to no avail (i think).

Second I would like for all the pending orders to be deleted after the initial two buy orders are closed. Since one of the two will be taking a 10 pip profit (= the only member of group 101), I have set the "On Trade" with a Trade Closed -> Check type (buy order, group 101) -> Delete Pending orders. In the test results (99,9% accurate) I don't see the cancels show up on the report file. I am sure this is working as intended, but I am just curious if I can find out whether these p/o's are cancelled or if they float around forever being a potential threat to my balance in the future

Another question I have is this: i was wondering if the "On Trade" page would be suitable to put the pending order trigger on. I currently have them placed under the initial 2 buy orders. Should I have them under On Trade: Trade Created -> buy pending order? (wondering about best practice more than anything, since right now the pending orders are bought/sold as they should with this setup)

Last question: I am trying to formulate a condition where the EA checks the equity percentage or a ratio. Let's say I wan't the EA to stop or pause trading when my equity falls below a certain percentage, would that be possible? Or does it always have to be a hard value.

I have a shared link of the EA here for you to see: https://fxdreema.com/shared/B21M7AnHc
(slightly simplified version, for my educational purpose)

Thanks in advance for taking a look at my project!
