@amrfawzy Check when exporting the right path. Does it compile?

@ambrogio Well, maybe for start. I think you need a set of instruments and their corellation (positive / negative). Than check each for direchtion and find the condition where exactly 1 is in opposite direction where all others are in the same direction.
In @ambrogio 's example the case are fixed.

@weius You may specify 1 block (Sell or BUy or pending) per trade or you may create a loop.

@khalids222 In the following cases you have to specifiy groups afaik

@khalids222 On close trades blocks there are no groups defined. Is the issue that no trades are closed?^

The blocks on the on trade tab don't have any groups defined either!

@vince-3 Double post, please avoid!

@khalids222 Share your project, I guess the reason is inconsistent use of groups.

@indaplace2be Work with groups! Group 1 with the trades that close on TP and group2 the ones without. If a condition is valid for both groups specify 1,2 in the groups field of the corresponding block.
@l-andorrà 's approach will work, if you put group 1 on the trade closed block and on the ones after group 2. But be aware you have to specifiy the groups on every block that offers the group # field !

Go ahead and try and share your project here if you still have any issues.

@khalids222 If you work with groups, you have to specifiy the related groups per each action! In your screenshot check profit unrealized doesn't take into account any trades that belong to a group!

@vince-3 said in Moving Average cross logic needed:

HI @ambrogio , ok, the bot does not work consistantly. Meaning sometimes the bot reverses positions and sometimes it does not. As you can tell by the time i've been watching this for the past many hours. The only thing i can think of is:
1 - I am using mt5 and fxdeema works best with mt4 OR
2 - I am trading futures, not forex, and fxdeema works best with forex.
If you or anyone has any thoughts i'd appreciate the feedback. Thanks.

Hard to tell, but most times is in the EAs logic rather than EA code. If you might share your project, we can have a closer look. The way @ambrogio suggests in his example means the cross may have happened in candle ID 2 or ID1. If it happened on candle ID2, the the MA didn't cross back on candle ID1.

@trader-philipps Found it by myself. Like that:

I'm currently working on the next Version of the Tutorial EA. At this time I'm integrating the icefx Newsinfo indicator (off-topic: "that bloody bitch!!!"). I'm quiet done at the moment, but want to draw a rectangle on the chart when there is a news time ahead. That works also quiet well so far, but all the nes times are in GMT. When I simply calculate my news before and news after thresholds, I have 2 time values to draw the rectangle.

However, the chart is in server time (not local time) and the my timestamps are all in gmt time.
Is there a smart way to convert my gmt timestamps into servertime? The case that during that period a change between summer and winter time may happen I neglect at this point.

Btw. that's how the new version looks right now.

@roar Yepp, you need to consider the correlation if any

Deleted, wrong assumption.

@zarbitz Take a look at my Tutorial EA I published recently. Actual Project Link: https://fxdreema.com/shared/Udh0CS5Ud

There I do similar things. For close on Friday, I have defined a constant in order to switch that feature ON/OFF).

On the On Init tab I have a condition that sets a flag to true or false depending on the configured parameter (instead of flag you could also use Turn ON /OFF blocks.

Assuming the CoF flag is set to true, I have on the on Tick tab the following separate path.

The last block connects to the central close Trades block.

For Turning ON/OFF trade entries take a look at this tree on the on Tick path ..

So Monday to Thursday I have different trading hours. On Fridays, if close on Fridays is true, I will disable the entry tree at the same time as the close should happen (in order to avoid that after closes new trades are opened again).

@simonsavva You can group your trades by numbers in order to gave seperate condition per group. Afaik each group will have a technically a different magic number and hence you can trade more than 1 strategy on a chart/symbol at the same time with the same EA.

@asto94 That depends on your broker / account type. See explanation for the slipage field in the pending orders Buy/Sell block.

@trader-philipps The EA gives a zero divide in MT4 tester when switching to another market, trying to calculate some pip value. It's a limitation of the tester! Try to stick with 1 symbol or port your project to MT5!

By the way, read the block information that will save you a lot of time. For instance ..

@kop If I seek help, I try to describe the issue precisely and give a person that wants to help me all information to do so. By your description and the screenshot, I can't see how one should solve that issue. Just by taking a look at the screenshot they look well connected. So what's the real issue?

@marcos-0 You have to use constants instead of just clicking the make available for testing check boxes .. take a look in the screenshot

Don't use (1), but use the parts marked with (2). You can use the previously defined constant in any input field by right-klicking that field and choosing the corresponding constant.
