@l-andorrà that is what I was worried about. I've been trying to think through this for over a year and have made no headway. Is there a place you suggest I try to find an indicator that would be able to detect this kind of price action?

Hi all,

I am struggling to build a Breakout re-test strategy. Simply, if the price breaks out of the previous low and then we see a retest, I was to create a sell order. Here is an illustration of what I am trying to accomplish.

I've successfully built a few other strategies on dreema but I have struggled to build this breakout and retest pattern. Any suggestions and feedback would be greatly appreciated!

What makes this tricky is I am basing the number of lots I buy based on the size of my SL. I want to risk 1% of my balance for each trade.

Hi all,

My EA has a different stop loss for each trade depending on the conditions of that specific set up. Is there a way to build a minimum SL into the EA? I've looked at "Extend Stops" but haven't had luck. @l-andorrà

@l-andorrà

Let me know if that makes sense.

I'andorra thanks for the reply. I'll explain a bit more and hopefully, that will help you understand what I'm trying to accomplish.

Say candle one closes and it produces a long order signal. My ea is set up to take the order right above the close of candle 1. I want my stop to be at the candle low of candle 1. As you can see the size of candle 1 dictates the size of the stop. Now, what I want is for the trail to be 1.5 times bigger than the stop. So if the Ea produces an order with a 10 pip stop loss, I want the trail to be 15 pips with a 1 pip step. So if the trade goes 15 pip in profit, I will be at break even. Or if the trade only goes 10 pips in profit and reverses, the trade will close with a half loss. The issue is the next trade might only have a stop loss of 6 pips, and in this case, would need a trail for 9 pips. Therefore each trade is different, but the one constant is that the trail is 1.5 times larger than the size of the stop loss

I DON'T want the trail or stop to change, once the order has been placed.

I have tried everything I can think of using the trailing stop box but haven't been able to configure anything that has worked properly.

Hi, I am trying to build a simple trailing stop that is 150% of the Stop loss. For example, if the stop loss is 10 pips, the trailing stop should be 15 pips.

I know I can accomplish this by using pips as the value, but the issue is that my stop loss value (pips) fluctuates each trade based on the size of the candle 1 close .

Does anyone know how to implement a trailing stop like this?

I'andorra, Thank you for the feedback. I'll remove block ID 6. I was digging into the forums and I wanted to ask you if you had any knowledge on how to handle ID block 6. should the open price belong to the parent trade or the current partial trade.

From what I saw in the forum a lot had it set to the current partial trade. Do you know the correct answer?

Hello all,

I am trying to set up a loop that allows me to have two take profit levels for one trade. Currently, I have the stop loss and the last take profit level in the sell order box.

I'm trying to build a loop that will close 50% of my position when price is 15 pips in my favor. Then once price hit my final TP the remaining 50% would close. I also want the remaining 50% of the trade to have the stop be modified to break even when price hits 15 pips.

I have tested the link below and sometimes it works exactly how I want. Other times, no position is exited at 15 pips or the opposite and there are multiple exits after 15 pips.

I won't have multiple trades on the same pair going on at once. Only one trade per pair at a time.

Here is a link to what I currently have. I know it is broken but thought it would help everyone see what I'm doing.

For testing purposes, I have been using a sell order but I would also like it to work with a buy order as well.

The condition isn't very important. I have a set of conditions that work exactly how I want. That EMA is just a piece of my EA. My problem lies within the once per day box. When I add it doesn't work. Is there anything special that needs to be done for that to work?

Hi All,

I am trying to insert the "once per day" block into my EA. My EA works fine and then when I insert the once per day block it doesn't take any trades.

This is a sample of my EA (not the real one but close enough). It has a number of conditions then right before the buy/sell order I'm putting the "once per day" block.

I played around by changing a number of different variables but haven't had any luck. I got it to take a trade on one pair, but not on any others 1 time.

Any suggestions or wisdom from the forum would be greatly appreciated.

@Xfire , Thanks for pointing that out. With that said, how can I compare candles 1 and 2?

Hi,

In my strategy, I have a number of conditions and one of them is to compare the wick of candle 0 to candle 1. If candle 0's wick is 4 pips higher then candle 1's wick then I want to cancel the order.

I'm struggling to come up with logic that will allow me to compare to the 2 candle highs and dictate if they are 4 or more pips apart. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Thank for taking a look. The reason I left the trailing stop on the first project is that I was using the "skip ticks" block. From my understanding, the skip ticks will affect the trailing stop. My solution was the second project I posted, but it was taking any trades so I thought that I was screwing something up.

Its encouraging that it was working seb 0. I will try it again and see if it works.

Thanks

Hi all,

I have had trouble getting a trailing stop to work. Below is a link to the EA. I have been using skip ticks to "stop" the EA after a trade is placed or if a condition that I don't want occurs.

I've tried a few different ways to try and add a trailing stop but as soon as I try to delete the skip ticks and add a "no trade" box I run into issues of the ES not taking any trades.

Below are my projects. One with the skip ticks an another with a no trades box.

Will the forum take a look and give me suggestions on why it isn't working and how to find the proper solution?

Thanks,
