@zackry I think you should use this block to create them.

You can read them from within other blocks like this

But as I said, I don't have any experience within fxdreema. So maybe I'm wrong here.

@zackry Btw. if you want to see their values press F3 in MT4.

@zackry Besides writing to files what is even more ugly or having some Windows DLLs to communicate between charts (which seems to be a bit oversized) I think the terminal variables are the right way to use.

@zackry I haven't work with terminal variables in fxdreema, but have some experience with them.

As long as your EA does not check the terminal variables, it will not do nothing. Also you might need to be careful with them as they survive a MT4 Terminal restart for instance.

@fxamoneymaker Try connecting the lines the right way.

Right:

I'm not sure about the bear candle block, but start fixing the obvious issue first.

@Moon If you'd have used the search function of the forum, you would have easily found this thread.

@giovanni The lot size with risk % from equity depends on SL and of course the account equity. If there is not enough equity for the SL, it will take the lowest possible wich is 0.01. You might change Buy and Sell blocks for risk % from balance maybe or any other money management from the list.

@jimmy-chee Well, that's unusual and probably might have to do with the way you do calculations in your EA. Could you share the project in order to have a deeper view? First check your exit conditions if all parameters and maybe indicators do have the right values after start of the terminal. I used to use a icustom indicator for instance that reqired 14 candles until it showed the right values.

@vish It must fit the decimals provided by your broker.

@rafaels919 You didn't secify a candle ID such as ID1 as ID0 is the current candle and values may change during the candle is not closed. May that be the problem?

@rafaels919 What is your code doing? Does it not open any trades? Or in wromg direction?

@rupp Sorry to say, it looked easier as it is. Maybe @miro1360 could have a look as he is more experienced with order and order history than me.

What I tried to do is to loop through the order history and calculate the candle time of the order close for each trade. Afterwards I wanted to sum all profits from the last close trade (on trade tab).
However, I didn't find a function that supports me calculating the candle time (which should be the candle open time) or candle ID from an order close time. So maybe there is a different approach.

@siempre But that must applies for all trade actions (including TP and SL)!

@bogdaiki Check the (Money Management docuemtation) in fxdreema. I think you could use any of them besides the SL based ones.

@siempre Use ID1for your indicators for entry. The same would apply for exists otherwise your optimization results are not valid. Example: You open a trade at a given price .. let's assume 1.00000. Your SL would be 0.99900.
When you use open price now, you would not consider that a candle low between open trade and some time in future reached below 0.99900 as you only care for open price. So in tester at some time later your trade will hit TP as it didn't get the SL that would have occured on on tick basis.

@vpraveen

That condition never will get true unless your Equity is 0. What you want to achieve is to compare equity at a given point in the past with the current equity value. In that case you need to store that euity value in past in a variable and compare it with the current equity.
If there are no other trading actions on the account you may use Account Balance instead as that only changes if profit or loss ir realized.

@khalids222 just a thought on it .. you may work with candle ID0 but only take those signals that occur when n % of the candle pasted. That would increase probability that the cross is a valid cross. Personally I don't use candle ID0 as the signals are not confirmed until candle is closed.
On the other hand you might add a volume or momentum component to it. Cause if you enter a trade you'd prefer the market is pushing 8n the direction of your trade. And you want to eliminate the Criss cross MA actions on flat markets.

@cpxiom Go ahead and open a new thread. As ms specify how that equity line should look like.

@rafaels919 As of last request, here is the latest version.

@rupp I think you have everything you need. Just store the "orderprofit" in a variable and add the profit off all trades in that candle. if candle closes you reset that variable and start again from 0 on the next candle.
