Hi,

Text values are being erased again in desktop version > "Send Email" block > Data 1 Content box > Value > Text

Thanks

It would be very useful to be able to search for particular text within project. For example, I'm working with the desktop version of fxdreema and sometimes it tells me that certain blocks have been outdated. If I have hundreds of blocks in my project, it is a strain on the eyes to have to visually look at each block number to find the block in question. Granted, I can open the mql4 file in a text editor and find the block in question that way but it would still be quicker if there was a way to search for it from within the fxdreema interface.

Thank you

Hi,

Can you please add the connector plugin to the google chrome store. Currently, everytime I restart chrome the plugin gets blocked and has to be reinstalled.

Thank you

I am trying to write a custom block that does the following:

if counter trend > n pips, orange output; otherwise: yellow output
before turning to custom block, I tried using the new bottom/top in trend blocks but they compare only distance between current candle and first candle
what would be great is if new trend block could identify movement of n pips anywhere within the past candles count. For example,
n = 50 pips
PastCandlesCount=25
candle[24] value (first candle) = 1.0000
candle[0] (current candle) = 1.0000
candle[9] value (some middle candle) = 1.0051

According to new trend block as it is currently written, this would not be considered a trend because candle[0] - candle[24] is less than 50 pips. However, there is a movement of 50 pips somewhere in between.

I think we had talked about this a while ago (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2340) but it keeps coming up again and again and would be extremely useful!

Thank you

thanks! and you said in a previous post that one should define the parameters in the "parameters used in block" box on the right instead of the main workspace but if I find it easier to right them directly into the main workspace instead of the parameters box, is that ok/will the program still work?

figured it out but still have a question: in MQL4 Studio, it says in parameters box "drag parameters here". How do you do that?

figured it out - need to use ~inext~

Hi,

I've created a simple custom block in MQL4 and then placed it in a project but it doesn't seem to work:

When I create a custom block and drag it to the workspace, it has only an orange connector. How can I get the yellow connector as well?

Thank you

__At least give block 1 id number that is greather than 6. Otherwise I don't know about Tickstory, I don't use it. I tried it, but... It's too much for me - MetaTrader, then fxDreema, then Tickstory... only because MetaTrader itself is not enough. I prefer to keep it simple, if possible :)[/quote:3uwlxlut]

3 months later I'm still trying to get this cross-timeframe ea to read the tickstory data. What's strange is that is works on the first time after you download it but then it stops working the next time you load up mt4 from Tickstory. Is there any chance it could be something to do with the ea?

The reason I use Tickstory is because it give you results on real tick data. I have found the results using broker data to be very different, even from broker to broker and many brokers have complete historical data from only the recent past. So how do you test a strategy if the data is not accurate? I'm just still stuck on this one for months now - even the simple D1 indicator test you build (http://fxdreema.com/shared/0sUcvU7Xb) does not work consistently on the Tickstory data. I raised the issue on their forums but have not gotten a response. Any ideas?

Thanks

I see the difference

sorry, I got them mixed up. I actually meant MagicStart. Even when I set MagicStart to 0 from mt4 > expert properties > inputs , the ea still opens trades automatically.

I thought setting magic number to 0 was working but it is still opening trades automatically.

ok, thanks for the explanation - some of the information was new to me. I get it, I'm just wondering about the following scenario:

let's say I load the ea that has some blocks where group mode is set to "manually opened" and others set to a specific group number. I go to properties (F7) > inputs. MagicStart is set to 9490 and when the AutoTrading button is enabled, the ea opens orders automatically. Now, let's say I go back to inputs and change MagicStart to 0. Now the ea does not open orders by itself anymore but will still manage the manually opened orders because of the trailing stop that is set to "manually opened". Now, I decide I want the ea to open trades again automatically. Do I go back to inputs and change the magic start number back to a number? Does it have to be 9490?

so far so good - looks like that works. That's exactly what I was looking for, now I can just switch the magic number back if I want the ea to resume trading automatically. Do you think the magic number has to be switched back to the same number or can it be set to any number other than zero?

this works as long as "allow live trading" is checked in expert advisor properties > common (F7 from chart). The problem with keeping it checked is that it will also automatically open trades but I want it to only manage the orders that I manually open but also have the option to let the ea open trades automatically. In other words, is there a way to build in a manual/automatic switch that if I decide I want it to run automatically it can do that or if I want to open manual trades and only have the ea manage them, it can do that? Maybe this is too advanced a feature, I guess could have two versions of the ea attached to two different charts if necessary.

Is there a way to assign a group number to manual trades so that correct group in ea will handle them?

In general, I assume if the group mode in the "for each trade" block was set to "manually opened", the ea would pick up trades that I opened myself?

oh - that helps a lot thanks!

Hi, it would be helpful to have a wait to search for a particular ea after you click "Projects > Load Project". I have more than 50 eas now and it's tiring to scroll down the whole list looking for the one I want. It would also be nice if you could star an ea to add it to a "favorites" category to make future reference easier.

Thanks

Hello, where do you set up your phone number?

Thanks
