Hello, can you please provide an example of what increasing width will do? If you set it to 3 instead of 1, does it search for crossovers in the previous 3 bars instead of just the current bar? Or does it search for crossovers only in bar 3 (i.e. three bars ago)? Also, a newbie question but are bars the same as candles?
Thank you.
when I copied blocks from On Tick area and pasted to On Init area, blocks disappeared off left side of screen from On Tick but connectors remained. Please see attached screenshot.

ability to store set of blocks (a procedure) in 1 block that can be referenced by other blocks. For example, a procedure is created with 20 blocks to check for certain market conditions and perform several calculations involving functions. There are 6 parts of the ea that all need to make reference to this procedure but in order to do so the procedure must be copied 6 times (with all 20 blocks) to each of the 6 areas of the ea that require this procedure - this method involves lots of duplicate blocks - OR each area of the ea must be connected to the procedure - this method is messy as it creates lots of connectors over the screen. Solution: store procedure in single block that can be connected to each of the 6 areas of the ea!
I'm trying to rename block title but when I save project and then reload it old block title appears. Or, if I save project and then copy and paste new blocks, old block title reappears.
thanks for the tips. I know trailing stop, and open/close orders interact with server but do any of these blocks require server calls?: comment on chart, draw arrow, alert message, play sound, formula, modify formula, levels tester, condition, single candle, for each trade, less than "n" trades running?
ok, I'm glad the the EA is set to be "pushy" because that means it's doing it's job - I just have to find out how to balance that pushiness with fewer server requests. I don't think minimum s/l is so small: it kicks in when broker's minimum s/l + spread are met so example we are talking about 0.00069 for EURUSD, 0.00101 for AUDUSD, 0.091 for USDJPY, etc. so maybe increasing trailing stop step size will make a difference (currently it's set to 1 pip)?
Have you experienced broker issues arising from complex eas? Maybe this broker is too sensitive?
Any other suggestions to reduce server load are appreciated (this ea uses 3 different groups and ~10 symbols so). Thanks 
Hi,
Without notice on Friday, my broker closed all of my open positions! They said that my ea was sending too many signals to their server. I had originally set the trailing stop to a fixed s/l of 1 in order to automatically default to the broker's minimum s/l but this caused a message every time saying "requested s/l too small... minimum taken instead" so I replaced this with the actual s/l values. However, the ea is apparently still sending too many messages - any suggestion on how to make it less intrusive given that it does have a lot of blocks running?
Thank you
aha, good catch, thanks. I forgot about that bug - if you save the expression with a comma it appears with a period when you open the block up again.

The above error occurs if I add a value into the "adjust" box and try to export to a .ex4 file. If I then remove the value, press the update button in the box and try to export again, the error still appears.

What does the "Input" checkbox on the left side of project variables do?
so is there a way using this custom indicator to detect if current bar changes color or only for previous bar? Ideally, I would like to be alerted the moment ao changes from red to green or from green to red.
__There is also included custom indicator Awesome.mq4, so it can be used as well. It has 3 buffers - one for the overall values and 2 separated for the green and red histograms. Then "Indicator appear" may help.[/quote:1nd2v0k1]
this ea catches some of the color changes but there are lots of incorrect arrows. Any suggestions?: http://fxdreema.com/shared/Il2GQvOC
____this would be even better:
for each open trade in loop, if profit amount of candle close[0] > profit amount of candle close[3]
Is there a way to write this using blocks?[/quote:32pkt1ow]
With blocks it will be bad-looking, because this requires to keep data for each trade (arrays of data), and this data to be collected on special conditions. It may sound simple, but it's too challenging to be made with blocks :)[/quote:32pkt1ow]
Would you be interested in writing this code? If so please, email me cost. If not, could you point me in a direction on how to approach the above programming task (I understand how code works but don't have a lot of programming experience)? If you don't have time no worries, I know you are busy and really appreciate the quality of your service
thanks, I've explored the virtual stops but they don't do exactly what I'm looking for so this looks like a programming job
this would be even better:
for each open trade in loop, if profit amount of candle close[0] > profit amount of candle close[3]
Is there a way to write this using blocks?
let's say you wanted to close trade if current price > lastprice[2] or lastprice[n]. Is this a good way to do that?: http://fxdreema.com/shared/9VS8gkGFd
very smart! thank you
Block id "end" means that it is not counted in the order?
Why is "pass" underneath block id "end"?
that's really awesome
