@trader-philipps Okay, found the error. I need to filter for prefeix not name contains.

@roar How do I pick up the Horizontal lines correctly?

Example for deletion ....

Doesn't work. The lines are all with the color AliceBlue!

@mbiganyi-dagwi Still hard to give an exact answer as we can't see how No Trade and Check trades count are configured. May you shar the project link here?

@roar Unfortunately I cannot set the prefix of the horizontal line with a variable. Even if I put code there, it is interpreted as a string.

This doesn't work.

So I have to set a static lable such as TP1 or TP2 and have just 1 order per time / chart.

Do you have any other idea?

Another issue I might face with your approach is that the ticket number changes when partially closing a trade. But there might be a way to work around that.

@dragonfly617 Like this

I also set my variable vsNewTradesEnabled to "False" or "True" in order to dosplay this information in a comment block. But that is optional.
Furthermore I addes a Weekday block which is also optional for the requested functionality.

@dragonfly617 Define what you mean by "not to work". I assume you mean it SHOULD NOT open new trades, but SHOULD care about open trades. Is that correct?

@l-andorrà said in Manual Trailing stop loss:

Did you consider the possibility of running the same EA on different charts with one single trade each? That would dramatically ease the structure of the EA.

Manual opened trades will have magic number 0 unless you have some trade manager that can set a magic number. So it wouldn't matter if there are 2 or 10 EURUSD trades, the EA on each chart would pick them all up.

@roar Interesting approach. Usually I try to avoid visual stuff. How would you identify those lines? By prefix?

@mbiganyi-dagwi That depends what you are doing behind the blocks. If you use No Trade, the blocks connected on the orange dot will only be executed if there is "NO TRADE". If those blocks are checking your entry conditions, you wouldn't be able to let them be executed until all open trades are closed.

At current I'm always recalculating my profit target again and again, what is a bit inefficient. Also I recognized that pips away from block sometimes doesn't work correctly and hence some trades run through my TP1 for instance withaut any partial closure. So I am thinking ao a different way to achieve this.

At current I have some solutions in my mind.

1. Store my profit targets in the order comment and read it from there. Not nice as I expose my levels to the broker, but could work.
2. On new trade I'd store the order ticket number in a global variable where the order ticket is the interger value and my profit targets are the string value. I could then read this and split the string into the right numbers.

Is there a better approach to persist the targets without the need to re-calculate them? Simple variable or array will be lost when EA gets re-initialized or terminal restarted.

Any ideas are welcome!

@fxgjg Sounds like you are more opening and deleting pending orders than trade them. However, is the number of pending orders fix or variable? You might count through the open orders and close that much that you no need anymore. But I need to understand what's the intention first - especially static vs variable rules.

@BlueMoon Or share your project that we can compile it for you. As @roar said there is a variable you use that is not defined or recognized as a variable. If the compiler complains about BuySell2222 variable, check the variable declaration in fxdreema if it's written the same way.

@l-andorrà Yeah with flags you have check function but I currently prefer switching On/Off a block.

@jakedabass Looks okay. But the issue you're facing has a different reason I think. Are there any other hints in the logs?

@gt-0 Check the buffers of the indicator in data window <CTRL>-D in terminal.

Simple issue, but I can't find the solution (yet). How can I check if a specific block is swiched On or Off? For instance if I have several places were a specific block gets switched Off or On and I want to write the state of the block in a comment to display on screen.
Example: Block ID 10 is the Trade Entry path.

I know that I can track by writing a variable, but is there a specific function to check if a block is ON or Off?

@jakedabass Ok, than maybe it's your terminal. Check the following:

1. Verify options -> Expert Advisors -> Allow live trading
2. Verify expert properties -> common -> Allow live trading and Long & Short positions

@salahuddinonline I think 1 For each trade block is enough. However, that might not be the solution of the issue.

@asto94 Something like this

@niko Is that TP closing the entire order and all pending orders should be deleted?

In that case go to the on Trade tab. Do something like this

Adjust the Trade closed block to your needs!
