@jzfusion You might use a OR block behind both conditions and connect that to the BUY block

@markz1 Shift -20 is in the future, right? I think you need to refine your strategies' logic.

@rmante If you rent a VPS and don't use the Metaquote option, it's like if your Laptop would be running all day long. Just don't close Metatrader when disconnecting from VPS.

However, could you explain what for block 1 and 2 are?

@everjn17 Yepp, that usually happen if you don't set SL. Do you? I once had a case when I switched away from that option but somehow fxdreema still thought that option was in use somehow. In that case it helped to delete the block and create a new one with the desired option.

@tradingstrategy88 You might use one of the following options:

1. Use switch off Switch on blocks when entering trade and reset on exit
2. Use flags .. for example boolean and do the same as in 1.
3. Define a variable (eg. bool data type) and set it's value to the correspondent event before entering trade and on exit. Check value on each entry path
4. Use groups for each trading strategy and for check use No trade block with correspondent group number

There may be more options but in principle you set a condition on entry of a trade, which will be checked by each of the implemented strategy entry paths. As long as that condition is valid you will not let each strategy to go it's entry path. You need to care for re-set the condition on trade exit.

@everjn17 Looks like the zero divide is in your fxdreema code. Open your mq4/mq5 file in metaeditor and check the stated line.
Maybe you could share your project or mq4/mq5 file so we might take a look.

I faced that several times when money management was based on SL and there was none specified for instance.

Does it stop on first trade to open or somewhere in the middle?

@trader_sauce It would be easier, if you would share your project. However, in order to put a condition on your custom mql block, define 1 or 2 variables (depending on mql code) that you can use in a condition block after the custom mql code.
For instance if you define a variable for base currency and one for the quote currency, you might check if one variable value is bigger than the other or both have a minimum certain difference or whatever makes sense to your strategy.

I'm currently struggling on finding a smart way to check if a signal is not older than n bars. For example, I have an indicator for entry signals that have exactly 1 buffer that gives me the signal. Let's assume it is a moving average that has a buffer for uptrend. If there is no uptrend detected by the MA indicator, my buffer has empty_value.
What woukd be the smartest approach (best without looping) in order to figure out, if that signal was 1st time creates maximum 7 candles ago for instance.
The indicator is visible block won't help me as I don't care if the signal was created 1 or 4 or 6 candles ago (and since that time stayed active). What I want is that from the last 8 candles, at least 1 candle was not showing a value in my custom indicator's buffer.
Any ideas how to do that with fxdreema block(s)?

@bryan01993 I'm not aware how to do that in mql4, but if you have some Havascript skills, you might build your own report template. You'd store the trade data in bt mode to a file (eg. json) and would have a Web page template that loads that json data into it.
But I'm not sure if that's what you want to achieve.

@l-andorrà said in TP hit.. move stop loss to break even:

If I remember correctly, that can be possible by selecting 'All' on the display menu. I remember roar said something about it in another thread, but I couldn't find it. That's interesting, what magic number is applied when that option is selected?

I thnk you mean this here? https://fxdreema.com/forum/topic/8561/unreliable-ontrade-filter-events-on-mt5/14

@l-andorrà said in The Time Filter Block does not work correctly:

I recommend to create a separate tree of blocks for those defining the active time period. I mean all three time filters and the conditions below them. Then you create a boolean variable that is active only when any of the time filters is true and then changed to false afterwards. That way you can condition your launching tree with that same variable on top.

You might also work with flags.

@marcin-3 said in New position:

I wanted to open a position in the second direction after applying no trade, the position does not open all the time open positions for sell

buy condition, 2 candle closes below MA100, sell condition 2 candle is above MA100 when I use the option 2x no trad only opens for sell

Don't understand, sorry. May you post a screenshot with an example?

@l-andorrà said in Moving Average cross logic needed:

What do you exactly mean by 'work in VPS'? All EAs can work on an MT4 platform in a VPS exactly as in a laptop. What do you exactly need about VPS?

If you let it run in metaquotes "vps" there are several limitations!

@juan-9 said in Tutorial Expert Advisor with some recent issues solved:

@trader-philipps hello do you have the fxdreema project link? please, it would help me a lot to learn from this world of EAs

Here is the link to the updated version that I will release soon after some testing. There are some more features I added.

• News support (not back-test)
• Connection lost notification (if broker connection gets interupted)
• Take screenshot on trade closure
• re-aranged In-trade management blocks for TP1, TP2 and trailing in order to make it a bit more understandable.
• minor bug fixes

Here is the actual project link - but keep in mind it's still under testing and may have bugs.

Once testing is done a bit I also want to release a version that doesn't contain any entry/exit strategy. Thus you can use that version as a template to get up to speed quicker (and for myself as well). For that version I might drop News indicator as well as it's a bit work to get it into fxdreema (33 parameters).

@trader_sauce I think you need to be more precise on conditions.

Example: 15m chart = Price is between 15EMA and 21EMA (this is for a 18EMA pullback)

It can be a long time between both emas or just rush through. What is the exact condition?`Does a candle have to close in that area or doesn it need to leave the shorter ema .. and so on.
This is required in order to know which blocks are required and how to bring them in order.

@l-andorrà I think he means 2 seperate, independant strategies.

In that case use groups. 1 group each strategy.

@marcin-3 It is not clear what you exactly want. Do you want to open another position in the same direction? Than no trade block prevents it. If you want opposite direction, you might use 2 no trade blocks .. one for each direction.

@garded yes I think it's possible. On the on trade tab you have a special event trade closed.
The type of closure would be SL.
Than you might check if that order was in profit maybe, but that's up to you.
Finally make a for each trade loop and then close block.

@indaplace2be as far as I know each group gets an own magic number. As manual trades have magic number 0 the group's approach will not work

@weius Android is not a supported OS for MT4/MT5 which fxdreema is designed for.
