Thanks. I will look for a programmer to help with coding.

I am creating an EA on fxdreema and I would like some help to limit trades per currency. I intend to trade eurcad, eurusd, nzdusd, usdcad, usdjpy and euraud but I want to trade no more than one usd and no more than 2 EUR. I turned to AI for help because this question was asked before but it was not clearly resolved. It gave a 5 steps process . I am unable to implement all the Steps except step 1 and step 3 . Below find the steps and provide help . To limit trades per currency in fxDreema — specifically:
• No more than 1 USD trade
• No more than 2 EUR trades
— across pairs like EURCAD, EURUSD, NZDUSD, USDCAD, USDJPY, and EURAUD, follow this step-by-step guide using fxDreema’s built-in blocks (no custom MQL4 coding required).

🧠 Concept:
We’ll:

1. Loop through all open trades
2. Count how many contain "USD" or "EUR" in their symbol
3. Use conditions to block new entries if the limit is reached

Step-by-Step in fxDreema

Step 1: Define Your Variables
Go to the “Variables” tab and create:
Name Type Initial Value
usdCount int 0
eurCount int 0
These will track the number of open USD and EUR trades.

Step 2: Reset Variables on Every Tick
In the “on Tick” event, add two blocks:
• Set Variable → usdCount = 0
• Set Variable → eurCount = 0
This ensures we reset before recounting each time.

Step 3: Loop Through All Open Trades
Add a block:
Block: For each Trade
Scope: All Trades
This will loop through each open trade.

Step 4: Inside the Loop — Count Currencies
➤ Check if Trade Symbol Contains "USD"
• Condition block:
o Left: Symbol
o Is: Contains
o Right: "USD"
→ Connect this to a Modify Variables block:
• Variable: usdCount
• Action: Add
• Value: 1

➤ Check if Trade Symbol Contains "EUR"
• Condition block:
o Left: Symbol
o Is: Contains
o Right: "EUR"
→ Connect this to another Modify Variables block:

I don't get it when you say technically this should work but I know it doesn't. Like which blocks do you have in mind to be removed?. I need all the blocks shown as part of my strategy. Removing the blocks would change my strategy.

I have spent many days trying to make an EA which opens maximum of 3 Buy trades and 3 Sell trades for each currency pair it trades in. I have tried to use For Each Block but the EA still opens more positions than expected. Here is the link for the project.https://fxdreema.com/shared/yZoH3ezMb
Perhaps there is something I am not doing correctly. I then tried the Check Trades Count. It did not work either. See project link: https://fxdreema.com/shared/VismTL53c. Then I tried Custom MQL code but it did not work because of error in the code. I am not a programmer. See link https://fxdreema.com/shared/FfkceluR.
Kindly give directions with step by step instructions on how I can resolve this problem. Perhaps a correction of Custom MQL code might help in case you can code. Thanks

Hi Everyone,
I have seen a similar question in the forum and decided to use some of the ideas posted. It was proposed to use On Trade rather than On tick. What I have created does not work. Please check the link below and correct me where I am wrong. https://fxdreema.com/shared/JoOtd7u2c

Thanks for your quick response. I have more than one trade per chart. Each chart has actually up to 3 trades giving up to 9 open trades at any particular moment. For example I have GBPAUD, USDCAD EURAUD, NZDUSD, GBPCHF and EURJPY. If GBPAUD, USDCAD and EURAUD has open trades none of the other pairs can open a trade but GBPAUD, USDCAD and EURAUD can each have 3 trades each.

Can someone help with an example how I can only trade with 3 Pairs out 6 pairs in my charts. Each of the 6 pairs can trade but only 3 pairs can trade at the same time.
