I am trying to figure out how to read and store the maximum volume reached in a particular timeframe and compare that to the volume of the current candle in the same timeframe. does FXdreema have this ability?

It is never wrong to allow people educate themselves in the way they wish if you are able to empower them. For better or worse is a phrase applied to any pursuit whether it is trading or some other business endeavor. We all know the difficulties, typical results and effort required to pursue day trading. I think offering up those statistics above and instead of any other life or business advice is what's appropriate. People of a war torn country may often have less access to education but they are no less intelligent than the rest of us and much more accutely aware of their own situations than any of us are. Combine that with an imperative to improve their situation has a potency most everyone else lacks. I say give it to them and make it study that adds to or changes the statistics we already know. I bet some really interesting ideas come out of it. I wonder if there are additional ways to allow your software to offset the value you are providing?

I dont use MT4 for backtesting and my symptom as indicated in using MT5.

When using the strategy tester to backtest multiple pairs configured with the "set current market block" the tester seems to only be using market data from the single pair configured to test in the tester. Is this also the case when the EA is loaded onto a single chart for trading live or will it source each pairs market data for all the pairs in the "set current market block?"

@l-andorrà
my issue wasnt related to active pairs in market watch. given my current project the placement of the output of "set current market" block was being blocked from improper placement.

does not seem to work at all. connected at the top level or otherwise and with any combination of fx pairs.

@l-andorrà but often a divergence in candle appearance to volume type will occur for the candle in question. The idea in differentiating between bullish and bearish volume is to be ahead of price direction before it occurs. For example, decreasing volume shown as bearish after higher volume shown as bullish in the previous candle will nearly always signify a change to upward momentum. I am looking for bearish candle types to pair with previously shown bullish voIume as one of my entry conditions. I just don't see a way to read the volume type.

I am trying to set a condition to distinguish between beariish and bullish volume. So far is seems like I can only set a static or a variable value for how much volume there is but not differentiate between bullish and bearish.

@TipsyWisdom not the ones I've been in. Plenty of resources to "do better" without another controlling interest. If I need $ to do better it'd be an equity only relationship.

Didn't know that!

@jstap yes the debugger tells me what and where but does not tell me how. letting chatgpt re-write the code widdles it down but my homework to discover why and how is definitely required. going to attempt to type it by hand and compile along the way.

ive asked chatgpt to make me script that does this using the Forexfactory news feed. Now I have to learn how to fix it so that it will compile in the metaeditor.

A bit of a long shot but...
Is it possible to code for or make a condition that can scan for news events happening at the same time, determine their "forecasted" direction for that currency then compare them to see what strength ranks oppose each other?

Iv'e had chatgpt show me how an if/then/else statement looks for input on the condition block capable of that kind of input. I will be trying that when I get home

yes, this is the way my project currently looks but it will not take trades. it will only work if I have the mainline x> signal line condition block in place. but will also pass if the cross happens at the wrong time.

@ambrogio hmm, do you mean I should use the if/then/else condition block? ive already tried setting a condition that uses the main and signal line with a condition </> value 0 and it doesnt take trades.

@fxDreema I'm really glad you don't like partners. Partners always have interests that conflict with a best and first vision. One of the reasons FXDreema is ahead of its peers. Creative license for users or devs doesn't play well with controlling partners. You don't need em because its pretty easy to see your user base will have your back with any kind of support needed. I am currently a novice in coding and find this community easy to learn and share ideas with. I wouldn't be here if this were a big box e-tailor. Ive been a trader and in tech for years but I'm soaking it in like a sponge right now!

@l-andorrà what I am trying to do is indicate when the macd line and signal line cross each other when already above or below the zero line. Im not trying to indicate when the macd line or signal line cross the zero line.

so... in manual backtesting a news strategy on currency pairs shown with news releases happening at the same time or within 30m of each other on the forexfactory calendar, Ive noticed that pending order blocks almost always follow the forecasted strength/weakness for directional bias and NOT the actual due to expectation by retail traders. In well over 50 trades now I haven't had one loser. I'll be testing out to 150 or so but plan to make a bot that does a partial exit every 10pip in profit OR loss relying mostly on the forecasted directional bias. A partially automated strategy to limit losses in the case of a range market when I expected it to push on a news event. A super simple idea that relies on manual price input for entry and uses automation to exit.

does anyone know how this can be done?
