Thanks for your response. It eventually compiled for me too but took a lot longer than 4.22 seconds. I don't use the plugin for downloading in Chrome. Is this something I should be using?

I usually use Firefox but also tried Chrome to see if it's any better. Is there a best browser to use for fxdreema?

Are there issues compiling at the moment? I've been trying to compile but haven't been able to. Including existing EAs that I've been able to in the past.

I'm not getting any error message it just seems to 'hang' when trying to compile.

Does anyone have any suggestions for this?

I am simply trying to draw a support/resistance zone where I have the upper and lower boundary of the zone. I can draw a line at the upper and lower boundary but would like a way to represent it as a shaded zone rather than just showing the lines?

If I have say a support level and a defined zone above and below, how can I draw a rectangle (object) on my chart that covers this zone?

I thought I could use Draw Shape but don't seem to be able to get it to work?

I have two variables, one being the upper boundary of the zone and the 2nd one being the lower boundary. E.g. on the audusd it might be UpperBoundary = 0.7560 and LowerBoundary = 0.7520. Can I use these to draw the zone?

I get the same message when I tried using this block too.

I'm having this issue today as well!!!

@fxDreema why are we continually having these sort of issues?

@miro1360 I don't know what block has the error. It doesn't say on the compilation error that pops up where the error is.

@fxDreema Please fix as it appears that a number of users are having an issue with this.

I am getting the same Compilation error when trying to compile my latest EA. It compiled without any problems a couple of days ago but won't today without any changes to the EA.

It looks like @azazelio sorted out his issue by making some change to the code somewhere. I know nothing about the code or even how to see the code and don't want to be making changes to the code.

@fxDreema @miro1360 can you please advise on how this can be fixed?

Is it because you have Once a day block at the beginning? This block will only pass once each day so when the first Buy trade hits its stop loss it won't open a sell as the once a day block stops it from passing again?

Should I be using:

1. modify stops block from the "Loop for Trades & Orders" section?
   or
2. modify stops of trades block from the "Trading Actions" section?

Any comments @miro1360 @fxDreema

I have made the following that appear to do what I want it to do. https://fxdreema.com/shared/cdNR1HvTb

1. trail stop by 1 pip every 1 pip in profit.
2. if trade is >= 15 pips in profit then move SL to lowest price (for buy trade) since trade was opened (rounded up to nearest 5 pips).

This works well in test and most of the time in live.

Sometimes in live it only trails the stop but doesn't move to lowest price when 15 pips in profit. Some other times it moves SL to a point that is less than lowest price since trade opened.

Would @miro1360, @fxdreema have a look and see if they agree with the logic please?

Could it be that in a fast moving market the steps don't work?

I haven't been able to replicate the issues in test that I have in live trading.

Thanks again for your help @miro1360

I assume your example was just to give me some idea as to how to build what I'm looking for as I can't see that the modify stops is to the lowest low but simply to 30 pips from open price.

I have made something that seems to work but is probably a lot more convoluted that how you would have made it https://fxdreema.com/shared/SSrMBlBsc. Without your example I wouldn't have know to use the Modify Variables blocks.

I think you're right. I don't think you understood my question

I don't understand MQL but was definitely not playing with the source code.

I eventually found the error. I had made a change to some comment blocks that didn't work when compiling. Once I got them back to their original state it worked again.

Thanks.

@miro1360 Thanks. That gives me an idea of how to try this.

I’m not looking for the lowest low prior to the trade being placed but the lowest low after the trade has been placed. I.e. the trade goes into drawdown say 20 pips, then goes into unrealized profit of 30 pips, I want to move the stop loss to the point where the trade was in open loss of 20 pips.

@miro1360 I can see there are different blocks available when using the On Trade section. I can't see how these will give me the information I need?

Are you able to point me in the direction of what blocks I should be looking to use?

Thanks Miro

I would like to be able to move the SL to the lowest low since a trade was opened after it is x pips in profit. Is this possible?

I can see how to get the lowest low for the past x candles but how do I get it from when the trade was opened? And then use this level as a stop level?

I have an EA that has correctly opened some trades. The magic number is say 200010. There could be a number of trades open using group numbers so that there is say 3 trades with magic numbers of 200010, 200011 and 200012.

Can I add a new EA on a different chart of the same currency that will close the trades from the first EA when certain conditions are met? If so what magic number should I use for the new EA? Do I also use 200010? The trade I open with this EA should I use group 3 so that it's magic number is 200013?

When I close the trades from the new EA I also want it to close the trades of the first EA. When the conditions are met on EA 2 do I simply use block Close Trades with Group numbers entered of 0,1,2,3?

I have made some changes to an EA (that was working) and forgot to save it as a new version.

I am now getting the following Compilation error:

'return' - function must return a value

It is listed 10 times. What does it mean? How do I find where the error is? How do I fix it?

Thanks
