Afternoon,
I'm currently having an issue with my EA, back testing it with my broker program, one indicator doesn't display in this last version of my project.
I have the ex5 and mq5 file of the current version (not working well),
I have the ex5 (only) file of the same project in an older version which works fine
Both are very similar, except a little detail i dont find, how can i read the source code the compare them, and see the difference please ?

@yazar-ilyas
Here is : candles 4-3-2 entirely above the limit, candle 1 closes below the limit, candle 0 crosses above the limit, buy order.

Makes sense indeed.
Time to avoid for trading like 21:00-03:00(GMT), when volatility is to low to make any worth it profit. Avoiding too high volatility, when the noise can throw you out of your SL/TP limits.
I wasn't using volume indicators t'ill yet cause some appear close to oscillation indicators, but i might consider the "on balance volume". It may give me some added value.
About economic news, i think it necessarily needs a human intervention. This is what takes the most time.

I was wondering what kind of oscillation indicators is preferably used for EAs. Most precisely what kind of combination.
Im currently working on the RSI/MACD "convergence" strategy, considering the current trend with EMAs or retracements, on a double timeframe(H1-M15). I was thinking about implementing a 3rd one, with a condition of minimum 2 indicators signaling simultaneous entry point, increasing the volume of the trade when the 3rd one matches.
Do you think it's a good strat for building an EA ?

@fxgjg
^^ You are on the "on Tick" tab, click the "on Trade" one.
As well "on tick", i think you can do it this way : https://fxdreema.com/shared/ZzlAeTyGb

Even if the results are not 100% reliable, these profit lines look really smooth. It's a bit demotivating to see how far you(I) are(am) from that level..

@weius
You have to be careful that, in the project proposed by @mcarl42, the crossing reference is the candle 1 close. By that, the point where this candle is closed. So even if the opening of that candle is above and the closing is below the line to cross, the condition is not necessarily matched on this candle.
You have to take in count the width of the crossing area(x bars wide). However i struggle representing this area, not sure what it exactly means.
So in your case i would recommend you either to use candle ID 0, or : candle 2 open and close, above the line, candle 1 close below the line.

@trader-philipps
I could but there is nothing in common with this topic. I'll open a new one then.
Im more looking for general advices on my specific project.
Just have to work on it a bit more before

@trader-philipps
Apparently i'm gonna have to plunge into coding.
A bit at least.

@trader-philipps

there

@trader-philipps
What are sTF variables ?
For my own interest

@trader-philipps
Thank you !
I'm gonna check this page now if i need an other function.
What does that mean though : "The code entered here will be placed into a generated function, which means that you can't define custom functions in it." ? (description of MQL code block)

I wanted to use the exponent operation in some of my calculations, but i dont know where i could place it.
Formula blocks and custom MQL code blocks don't recognize the "^" symbol, so...
Do i need to multiply the number as many times by itself ? Thanks

@roar
LMAO

Hey
Just click the mq5/4 button, and store it on your PC ?

@l-andorrà Sounds always good, thanks
In my case the line is updated only. Do you mean every time you restart de EA ?

The second block in your project "278" is checking a constant value, which by definition never changes, so it will never pass to the next ones.
Is that what you want ?

@jeje101
In your condition block, in more settings, in Candle ID, write "1" , so it will pass only when the candle on which the condition is true, is closed, and an other one opened. This matching candle will be the 1th previous candle.

What do you mean by you must "optimize" ?

@roar
Yes fortunately. Better the EA to be as much as you want it to working, before using it on real account.
The way you did it is quicker to build than mine, thanks for the exemple ^^
I hope this topic is gona help other newbies, ill try to stop opening new ones for a moment, you guys must be busy!
