Variables is something that im not good with , and you should ask roar .

And by what i wrote i just did by adding turn on and off blocks .

What i did was when the profit is > 12 it turn on another section in my case block 5 which is otherwise turned off.

So if the profit is > 12 it activates the trailing and block 5 , and if it goes < 12 after beeing at >12 a new SL is created and then closes that section after the SL is created .

And can only be activated again if it goes above 12 again and then goes below that , isnt that the principle that you wanted ?

@engrled

if i understood your what you wanted this should work

The problem with everything is when you want 2 conditions to happend in the exact same time , but i sat down a couple of months ago just tested until i found the solution, i worked with crossover on everytick , like that i had 2 lines , one above and one below , and i wanted it to trade if it went above the upper and then went down below it again . then you are looking for >and < at the same second . and thats why most use x </> but that are comparing the last bar to do that .

So i used something that you can use , i used flags , but if you use:

it should use the trick

so you are using sections that only can pass once , and when the opposite of that is true that will close , and by that create a loop

Hi I am trying to export my EA but get the message "Check if Metatrader 4 directory is set correctly". My settings are below:

MT4 Terminal path:
C:\Program Files\MetaTrader\

MT4 Data Path:
C:\Users\hilary\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\F762D69EEEA9B4430D7F17C82167C844\

MT5 Terminal path:

MT5 Data Path:
C:\Users\hilary\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\D0E8209F77C8CF37AD8BF550E51FF075\

Can someone help please?

Thanks!

it can make mq4 or mq5 file just pressing the button , and thats what i use actually, opens metaeditor instantly were you can check compile and see if there are errors in the coding otherwise it reloads the platform and its there .

I came up with an simple idea of how to restart the ea , I used when trades closed- no trades - apply template .
But the first day i got an insane result , but now it seems to restart some , and other charts the ea is simply deleted .
tried terminate as well but that spams termination messages on the platform , and didnt really work .
It should work as it is now , but it messes up and i dont know why ..

Can you see a wrong with my strategy ?

But if upper value of bollingerbands is like 1.2 and lets say the middle is 1.18 if you take 1,2-1,8 thats equal to 0,02

and that is lightyear away from what the current price is , and then you want to react to when the price is 40 pips above a price that is insanely low ? it will trigger all of the time my friend

isnt it better to act if middleline incresses a pip value instead ? in that case you have indicator rise and there you can put a pip value , and if that is correct you can use moving average instead of the middle line of the bollingerband , its the same thing

Made it like this and it seems to work wonders actually

its always nice to have someone to throw ideas at , not only to get a solution to the problem but to make the brain to maybe find the solution by itself

@roar

hmmm that might work acutally , was hoping to hear your side of it

Thought of a solution that might work , if no trades - check if the body is below 10 pips set flag trading to true otherwise set it to false . that might work .

Or trade close - set flag to true - terminate and in deinit set flag to false , i dont know it that would save the complete terminate block though haha

@timmyhanke

and if you dont want the ea to create the objects you can delete the draw line part , and use high and low horizonal lines that you manually create on chart

@mohammad2232

https://fxdreema.com/shared/fsu9xlEyd

something like this ?

@mohammad2232

im using something like this

https://fxdreema.com/shared/cuHqx6epe

2 lines for buy trades and 2 for sell , if price pushes one of the lines it follows with price and the oppsite follows after that one maintaining 10 pips

@mohammad2232

This is the correct way of doing it .

I dont know why you have the same name for the two objects though , i usually create horizontal lines in the ea too , and adjust that how i want it .

And by refering to the same object it will now work

Is there a way to make the ea to restart itself after lets say profits has been closed ?

because in most of my ea's i work with alot of orders along a large moving candle , but after the profit has closed it starts to loose track ,

So if the reset part can be done i was thinking of adding a filter that it dosnt trade when the body of a candle is above x pips and then restart on every profit close , so in my insane mind it would be able to trade along a big candle and if that candle drops to the required amount of pips on the candle body it will do the same thing again and again .

@roar

I dont actually know how to draw the lines in support and resitance level , but if you have that bit sorted , it only needs to redraw itself constantly if it changes , like on every tick select line and change it to the correct level , so it allways follows

@keanzoe

I think its done by drawing horizontal lines at support and resistance

And then make a condition that's like price is below the upper line and above the lower line and connect them to a and block, but be careful because it will pass on every tick when it's in the middle.

@roar

No problem , if you find something to make it work just send it

@roar

can you upload the one that was working ? mine still does the same thing

@roar

I will try the reset that you wrote and see what it does

Haha i noticed that too , but it might work better , less orders adjustments through the broker

@roar

hmm and that is too much , but i dont know why it showed a more normal result on backtesting
But i tried something , using lines .

https://fxdreema.com/shared/5WaVD65ze

Its from block 20 to 37 and 80 to 90 .

It makes two lines , that move along price when its pushed by price

@roar

Tried it in backtester , it seems like it closes the orders instantly , so i tried to change the value of ReverseFraction to 10 instead , and then it seems like it does the work right
