Wow that is so not Howe I thought to do it. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain. I will give it a go.

Hi there I have 4 buttons that I am trying to use to:
close all open orders
close all open orders in profit
close all open orders in loss
delete all pending orders

The picture below show my setup for the last (delete all pending orders). The issue I am having is that the button seems to execute right on loading (not by pressing) and just keeps running over and over.

My goal would be to have the button ready on stand by and when presses the appropriate action would happen (1 time) then go back to ready state.

Can anyone see my error in setup?

Thanks again, that will get me started. Do you have any examples I can refer to rather than hitting you up with frequent questions?

I see you man the entire forum by yourself and don't want to be a bother.

I'm sorry I spoke to soon. I am still struggling. It might be quicker to ask if someone could show how to do this one and I will learn from that.

I am trying to set a trailing stop that will start (trigger) when the price is 1.5 times the previous (previous means the previous candle from when the order was placed) size.

The trailing stop will be place at 1.4 times the previous candle size (just below the trigger point) with a 10 pip step.

Also if it helps for calculating the trailing stop. I have the SL at the low/high (depending buy or sell order) of previous candle and the TP at 3 times the previous candle size (all of the previous candle from when the order was placed).

Thank you very much in advance for any help.

Appreciate it. That helped, I was able to figure it out.

Thanks again.

Hi there I am trying to have the EA check to see if any trades or pending orders exist by my EA before placing another pending or order. How do I do this? Do I use group number?

Thanks for any help.

SD

Thank you! Very helpful.

I also have tried this setup. I have opened the formula boxes for all to see my setup for any input. This all seems intuitive.

Could the problem be the formula blocks are not attached to anything?

Thanks a ton for any help.

Hi there I am trying to use the trailing stop block (image off settings attached). I am trying to have it trigger at the previous candle high x 1.5 and start at the previous candle high x 1.4 with 10 pip steps. I am using the 2 formula blocks (blocks 18 and 19) to calculate the trigger and start points.

However it does not seem to be working.

Would you be able see where I might be going wrong on the settings based on this picture?

Thanks for any help

I really appeciate the help. I will make a go of it.

Fire example with a$1000 balance add a 3% risk, the order would be placed at .03 lots.

Thank you for the fast reply.

Can you recommend an alternative way to have the EA place orders at x % of risk based on the balance (not equity)?

Also I will point out it is interesTing that the exp_day input only show on the sell order and not the but order, where the settings ate the same.

Thanks again for your direction.

FYI you may need to be detailed with your Solution (money management above) I just started using your software.

It is great BTW!

Hi there hoping you help me understand my expert (in the input section) has 3 additional inputs I did not create (no check box or created variable).

The inputs are:
inp1: (1) buy pending order (this block one that is the buy pending block)
inp1_VolumePerecent: 100

inp8: (8) sell pending order (this block eight that is the sell pending block)
inp8_VolumePerecent: 100

imp8_Expdays: 0

I can reiterate that I have not do not have any input boxes checked

Thanks in advance for any help
