that sound promising

ok, that makes sense that it will execute after the formula is calculated. I have been using tickstory because the I came up with great results using broker's data in metatrader only to find that the results were much different using tick data. Do you know anything about tick data in mt5? This article claims that it is reliable: http://www.mql5.com/en/articles/75

__I can see you are using 1 as start candle in one place in block 3... if this could be the problem. I tried (with 0 instead of 1) and the result is this: http://prntscr.com/33oivs[/quote:371ppu9p]

strange - this ea doesn't work on tickstory data from 20-feb-2011 through 19-feb-2012. Also for same date range in 2010-2011 the correct values only start printing in comments on 22-feb-2010. The starting date 19-feb-2010 was a Friday but wouldn't it still pick up the data from that day? Anyway, maybe this more of a question for tickstory but just wanted to make sure the problem isn't something related to the ea settings.

great, thanks for the tips!

ok, do you have any general suggestions for optimizing ea speed? Do you thinking keeping inactive blocks (turned off) slows down the ea?

just an idea, in thinking about it more I'm not sure it's such a good idea

__To be hones, there was no priority for EA's builded with fxDreema to be as fast as possible. The most important was the functionality and all the options. But I think that I will create functionality to track the speed of the blocks, at least this is something I want to see, so I hope that i will do something about it. The small problem is that it's not so easy for me to modify the currently existing blocks, compatibility issues :)[/quote:2xutqupd]

2 questions:

1. Is there a way to test where the bottleneck in my ea is? Which block or blocks are slowing down the performance of my ea?
2. If a block is turned off, does it affect the speed of the ea?

Thanks

agreed - the buttons don't need to be tied to action history since action history is already recorded when a change is made to the project. I use the export buttons for just that - to export an updated version of the project. But I suppose if the project was exported automatically as changes were made, then you wouldn't need the buttons.

ok, that's great. You mean the export buttons? I think those are useful

oops, they were all supposed to be 1s but 0 is probably better. Thanks

great, thanks a lot!

It seems like currently you need to click the save button in order to save the project, would be nice if project got saved whenever you click the .mq4 or .ex4 buttons

Windows 7 64-bit. The problem started after I reinstalled fxdreema. I tried reinstalling to a different directory but no luck.

I tried the same thing using this concept with formulas and printing the result in 3 different ways but for some reason they don't print the same on the chart. Shouldn't they? Is one of these methods more reliable than the other? Tested starting 2010-feb-19 tickstory data as well as 2010-apr-28.

This error comes up in local version of fxdreema when trying to export .ex4 file.

ok, not a problem. I'll check out the web version. Neat screenshot

yes, I want to learn to program custom blocks No, it's not working either way. But is there a way to build the block in the web version and then export them to the local version?

I'm not a programmer but want to learn to write custom blocks. I am trying to write one that resets multiple counters by just copying/pasting the single counter reset code but it's not compiling. Any suggestions how to do this more concisely would be much appreciated:

//////////////////////
// Input parameters //
//////////////////////

string ResetThisID="2"; // Reset counter with this ID

///////////////
// Main code //
///////////////

string list[];
StringExplode(",", ResetThisID, list);
int size=ArraySize(list);

for (int i=0; i<size; i++) {
list*=StringTrim(list*);
Counter(StrToInteger(list*),"reset");
}

/* Orange output */

string ResetThisID="4"; // Reset counter with this ID

///////////////
// Main code //
///////////////

string list[];
StringExplode(",", ResetThisID, list);
int size=ArraySize(list);

for (int i=0; i<size; i++) {
list*=StringTrim(list*);
Counter(StrToInteger(list*),"reset");
}

/* Orange output */

string ResetThisID="6"; // Reset counter with this ID

///////////////
// Main code //
///////////////

string list[];
StringExplode(",", ResetThisID, list);
int size=ArraySize(list);

for (int i=0; i<size; i++) {
list*=StringTrim(list*);
Counter(StrToInteger(list*),"reset");
}

/* Orange output */

string ResetThisID="8"; // Reset counter with this ID

///////////////
// Main code //
///////////////

string list[];
StringExplode(",", ResetThisID, list);
int size=ArraySize(list);

for (int i=0; i<size; i++) {
list*=StringTrim(list*);
Counter(StrToInteger(list*),"reset");
}

/* Orange output */

string ResetThisID="10"; // Reset counter with this ID

///////////////
// Main code //
///////////////

string list[];
StringExplode(",", ResetThisID, list);
int size=ArraySize(list);

for (int i=0; i<size; i++) {
list*=StringTrim(list*);
Counter(StrToInteger(list*),"reset");
}

/* Orange output */

in fxdreema local edition, when I click the mql4 link near the logo it opens a blank page with this message:

ExeOutput Viewer Error

The following error has occurred. Please press Back to return to the previous page orcontact the author of this programfor further information.

File not found: studio\MQL4

Also, mql4 studio doesn't seem to work altogether in the local edition. For example, if I try to create a new block it does not save. Similar behavior as before with the web edition.

ok is it possible that I'm not using those missing blocks in this project? because it looks like everything is there
