@l-andorrà Isn't it easier to set flags? Such as as bool flag to true if trade is closed and on each new daily candle set the bool frlag to true?

@ibtoday You might check this post http://fxdreema.com/forum/post/37259

A magic number specified in EA properties is used for all trades without a group specified. If there is a group specified, the EA will add the group number to the magic number.

Example: Magic number 1000 group 1 -> Magic number for group 1 trades is 1001

Having this in mind, you can configure your second (monitoring) EA to that specific magic number for instance.

@xfire said in Good Strategy (so far) but confusing results.......any ideas?:

@abarrett69 Do you add your spread to your TP? I see your spread is too high.

when you see price is on the your tp but can't close a position that is a big spread .

Yepp, looks like he uses current spread in bt and over the weekend it may be quiet high.

@agbatoadesina said in Create an operation with an object in a chart.:

@trader-philipps Please i have the same issue with this indicator can you please help create a buffer also, the indicator draw arrows and divergence line. i have attached the indicator.0_1585233495517_Traditional Macd Histogram Divergence.mq4

This indicator already has 2 buffers (signal, histogr). From the code it draws an arrow up (indicator appears) when bullish divergence and arrow down (indicator appears) when a bearish divergence is formed.

What else you need a buffer for?

@l-andorrà said in Create an operation with an object in a chart.:

trader.philips. Did you create the new buffer in the indicator's code?

Yes!

@dre Screenshot ist mt4

@fabiobioware place a $ in the brackets.

@eajurms EAs can only work when the MT4 instance is running and has a broker connection. If you switch off your Metatrader or PC or close the chart(s) your EA is attached to, your account will stay in the state it is on closure. If you'd have open trades, they keep being open until SL or TP is hit (if set) or you equity is gone.
If you don't want your laptop to run 24h you might consider using a VPS and run your Metatraders there.

@arthitbe Afaik you can't modify lot size of pending orders. You need to delete the existing one and create a new one with same parameters and larger lot size or alternatively create a 2nd pending order with the desired lot size.

@padletut Don't know if there's a simpler way in fxdreema, but if you know the 0% level and the 100% level (which you can read from the chart object) you can calculate any level you want.

In this example first value is the 100% level and second is the 0 % level. So the total distance is 100%. If you need for instance 50% you just need half of the range and so on.

Does that make sense?

@fabiobioware The conversion from double data type to int or string is a bit annoying in Metatrader. You may use the MQL function MathRound() to get a full integer value (https://docs.mql4.com/math/mathround)

@xfire This setting only applies to opening a new position afaik

@dre If you don't want that logic in your EA, you might set the desired setting in EA properties as well.

@biztet What the code does is the folowing. If executed on the on Init tab, the EA will read all symbols/instruments that are currently in the market watch (on EA start). The SymbolsTotal(true); only counts the number of available symbols.
Then it loops for the number of symbols and puts each symbol name in a comma seperated list.

@dragonfly617 Ok, as it was not so hard I created an additional buffer that show 1 for Buy signal and -1 for Sell signal for your convenience.

0_1583763512237_spudsstochastic.mq4

Please test before use on real account!!!

@dragonfly617 Havent' tested, but try something like this ..

@dragonfly617 I took a look at the indicator. It sets different prefixes for buy and sell signals.

So you can loop for last objects with prefix SpudsStochasticb_ for Buy arrows and SpudsStochasticb_ for sell arrows.

@trader-philipps said in How do I have drop down parameterised for optimisation:

@jzfusion Define a constant for the desired field

For MA method use datatype ENUM_MA_METHOD
See valid values (for default value) here: https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/constants/indicatorconstants/enum_ma_method

For MA price use datatype ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE
See valid values (for default value) here: https://docs.mql4.com/constants/indicatorconstants/prices

Once you define the constants, you can use them each time you use the MA indicacator by rightclick on the correspondant field.

Is this really your use case? You might try to use integer variables starting from 0 for the choices. But as the number of input fields vary from the choice I think, best approach would be as @l-andorrà says to use a custom code block for that.

@ankhael With the provided.information no one can help you. You need.to share your project t or mq4/mq5 file

@oryantayer I think there is some error in the logic of the EA. Where does the OP_BUY come from?
