@jstap will that not only check the profits on the current pair? Will it check profits running on other pairs as well, where the EA is not running?

@jstap any ideas?

@l-andorrà Then I'll just run a condition comparing the balance of the balance in the variable recorded in the morning with the current balance adjusted by 40. I guess that will work? (See shared file)

But this will only check the profits for that specific forex pair I'm running the EA on. I intend to run the same EA on multiple pairs...that's why I want to work with balance. I want to record the balance at the beginning of the day and once I'm up 40$ overall I want all trades to close.

How do I write a variable to record the momentary balance?

Would that work? https://fxdreema.com/shared/G9jiq7bKb

Also here a pic of the variable:

Hi, hope someone can help with this. I would like to have my EA record the balance at 09:00 in the morning (probably in a variable?). This should happen once. Then I want my EA to check the former balance with the current equity on tick. Once that equity is let's say 40$ higher, I want all trades to close and the EA to not trade anymore.

Anyone know how this would look like? The thing is, I don't really know how to write a variable...

Thanks in advance!

@l-andorrà Best I show it in an example. I go short after the red candle at point 3. My stop loss is 1 pip above the green candle at point 1. What I want is that as soon as the trade opens, it modifies...so that the original stop loss only gets triggered, if a candle closes above the stop loss. In this case, the wick of the red candle at point 2 would not trigger the stop loss. Do you know what I mean?

Basically I want a stop loss level that only activates, when the body of a candle closes above (for short trades) or under (for long trades).

Hi guys, can anyone help me with this?

Here's what I want. Once a trade opens, I want to modify the stop loss to the following: Trade should close, once a candle CLOSES past my original stop loss...so what this boils down to is actually that candle wicks past my stop loss can't stop me out, only the body can. Thanks for any help.

@jstap ah, I see now. Thanks. I‘ll do some tests tomorrow.

@jstap sorry for asking stupid questions...but no variables and constants are added as of yet. How do I know what type a variable or constant is...i.e. "SLOPE" or "MA_SLOPE_RANGE"?

@jstap If I copy the whole thing from your link and add it to my project, do I have to write the constants and variables? Could you write them out for me?

@jstap thanks a lot! What about the numbers? Do I have to adjust anything and if yes, in which block? What’s the maximum value?

@jstap I'm going to have to admit, that I am nowhere near as proficient with Fxdreema to be able to do this. Here you see a copy of my project:

Left tree is long setup, right side is short. You see each has a connection missing where the condition of rising (when long) and falling (when short) MA should go. Any chance you could show me how you connect the missing part you wrote? Also, please tell me in which blocks to play with the numbers? You said minimum is 0...does that mean the MA is basically flat? What is the maximum value?

Thanks so much jstap for your help. When backtesting manually this system has a nice return... NzdCad showed 22 wins to 8 losses this year with a 1:1 risk/reward ratio, EurAud 19 to 7. I have yet to test a pair that would lose. I just can't get an EA to just trade, when the 50 SMA moves diagonal across the screen.

@jstap I don't understand, where do I have to use which numbers?

Wow...this is so out of my league! And how would I connect that to the rest of my EA? Thanks so much!

Hi guys, I'm starting a new project and have a question:

To form a valid setup, the 50 simple MA has to come at an angle from top left to down right for short, bottom left to top right for long. Now I know you can't program an angle, so what do you guys see as the best solution? I tried to play with the falling/rising indicator condition...but not to my liking. This EA should run on the 28 major Fx pairs. This condition with pips doesn't really work, since different pairs have different atr...10 pips is much more on AudUsd than GbpNzd. So should I use a condition block 50 MA (candle ID 50) > 50 MA (Candle ID 1) and have multiple conditions like that? Or is there any other solution to this?

I looked through the forum but didn't find any answer that really helps. Glad for any idea how to filter out good setups here. Thanks in advance.

@tipsywisdom that sounds like it could work. Thanks a lot!

Hi. I would like to make a condition, that passes, if the 10 and 15 EMA cross the 50 SMA somewhere between lets say candle ID 20 and 50. is there a way to do this in a simple way, or do I really have to make a condition for each candle ID? Thanks for your help.

@l-andorrà at the close of the candle. So ID 1.

@l-andorrà Ok, let's make an example. I have a trade with a 20 pips stop loss. Now, what I want is the following: Once my trade is 20 pips in profit (which is 100% of the SL), I want the trade to close whenever price crosses (on close) the 50 MA. So once condition A (trade in profit 100% of SL) it triggers B (close if 50 MA crossed). Is that more clear?
