@l-andorrà Yes, combined profit (including commission and swap) of all trades, both opened and closed within a period of time

For example, my target is $100 profit in money

I might have two closed trades:
loss of -$100
loss of -$200

and a running trade of +$400

Then the trade should close for profit of $100

including commission and swap calculated

I enter several traders, some goes into loss while some stay open until my profit target is met.

I use, ''check profit (period of time)" and "close trade" blocks

Now the problem is swap and commission isn't added to the profit calculation and sometimes, even though the sum of both closed loss trades and open profitable trades are in positive, I can still get a loss.

I tried using the pink block but it can only check the profit one trade, I need to check the profit of all trades within a period of time with swap and commission added

Please help

@l-andorrà Thank you for this idea
But this will not execute exactly what I want.

This is pass if candle 1 is breaking a 50 candle range on both sides (high and low)

What I want is a candle that is bigger than the last 50 candle in size, might break or might not break the 50 candle range

I found a long way to do it
Once per bar, I created a variable system that stores the sizes of each the last 50 candles and then compares each of the candle size to candle 1.

This means I have 50 variables and 50 condition blocks.

Works perfectly.

Please do you have any idea how to find if the last printed candle (candle 1) is bigger than all the last 50 candles (candles 2 to 50) in total size, High to Low

There is a block to get the highest price of candle in a range but there is no block to check the highest size in a range.

I want to make trades only if last candle is bigger in size than the last 50 candle.

@jstap Thank you

My EA opens several trades when some conditions are met, and closes all trades when total profit (money) with swaps with commissions is equal to or greater than $100

This works well with swaps and but not the commission

My broker is IC Markets with $3.5 per lot per turn ($7.0 per lot round turn)

So the EA closes with $100 in profit, thereafter the broker now removes the $7.0 commission from the profit after the trades are closed

So the commission is always removed by the broker from the profit after closing trades, rather than being calculated with the profit by the EA. So that when the broker finally removes the commission, my profit should return to $100

Hence, I get a profit bellow $100 sometimes or even losses when the commission is high if I use big lots even though I made initial $100 from the trades

Please how can I make the EA add the commission to the profit before closing trades

I once had a strategy that made about 100% in April to August last year with just risking 1% per trade, also about 15% max drawdown (strategy tester)
But was not even profitable every other time in recent history with the exact same parameters.

I think that is the reality of trading, what works yesterday might not work tomorrow.
Unless you have a strategy that is timeless... evergreen so to say

I figured what the problem is
The block is running before another block that resets my group number
Thanks for your help

@jstap
I want it to run once a day only after the check profit block is true
But instead it runs at the beginning of each day when the check profit block isn't yet true

@jstap
Please I have another issue with this
The custom code runs as if it is directly under on Tick
At the beginning of the day, it logs the week day variable
But I only want it to log the week day variable after a particular profit is reach for the day

I open trades for the day from 10am
The day of the week logs at the first tick of the day, 1 am

@jstap Thank you. It works

@jstap
Please how do I save this into a variable or is it automatic and the name of the variable must be Day_variable?

Sorry, I have no programming experience

@jstap Thank you
I will try this

@Temmy-25

Or any idea on how to convert UNIX time to day of week?

Please help me implement this.
After successfully closing my trade using the close trade block, I want to save the current day of the week into a string variable and show it in the journal using log message block.

The difficulty for me is how to get the day of the week.
Is there a way to know what day of the week is it and save that as a string variable?

It has been solved, position closed block now working correctly on On Trade

Thank you for your efforts

@Temmy-25 This is not also working as intended
