@vnpython-0 You do not need if deo account unless you have EA only doing something when on a demo account.

It's looping from new to old, so set it to old to new, all settings work in the order they are in, so if you have skip 1nth order it will start on 2 either the 2nd or the one before last depending on loop direction, every nth order will skip orders so if set on 5 then it will only recognise every 5th order, so 5-10-15 etc, not more than nth is the maximum trades/orders it will look at. only use sections that are relevent to what you need.

Good for you! 😉

Honestly, I'm not an expert on this block :/.

@fxdreema said in Possible bug in positioning candle in 'future' candles:

I tried this: https://fxdreema.com/shared/OuUNxlf3d And I got an error "array out of range" when the EA tried to get value from future candle. It's because there is no data about the future candle, it doesn't exist. I believe that the Time attribute is like Open, High, Close, Low and Volume, it's connected with the candle, and with no candle there are no attributes.

You can get the time of the current candle, because that time is rounded, and add seconds to it. The time is the number of seconds since 1.1.1970. Look at this: https://www.epochconverter.com/ The "Comment" block may draw human readable version of the time, but in reality it is an integer number.

Here is another example: https://fxdreema.com/shared/wreYKAEL
I use that "shift in time" feature, but instead of using fixed number of minutes, I use Period(). It returns the number of minutes for the current period. If the period is M15, it returns 15. So that way you can put the EA on different period and it will show you the time of the non-existent future candle. You can use 1 * Period() or 2 * Period() or MyVariable * Period(). Even _Period should work instead of Period().

i just tried on draw vertical line on Period() as per your 'comment' block but on 'draw line' block: 0_1572963836008_3bd04fa4-9842-4369-a6f6-ec194341fabd-image.png and cant draw line on both historical data and future data... @fxdreema please help?

scam, scam, scam

dear all, this issue is resolved by the big boss already hehe

you're right! i just use the date earlier and is resolved... must be due to position of candle to detect the crosses... eg: usually i use the date from 2010/01/01 to start and this might have caused the divide zero, and once i enter the start date to 2009/12/30 and the EA runs normally.. thanks miro for the clue!

forgotten to search.. sorry haha

Its not completely impossible but it's hard. If you use quant principles it would workout better.

Its not just the risk management but also the timing. Its risk : time most of it.

I can tell because my manual scalping has a great return rate. But when it comes to getting it done by an Expert Advisor it's hard to reason with my strategy.

thanks for the inputs! i observe a period of 8 years and pick the worst performing year to fine tune the strategy (not using the mt4 optimizing option). I also learn to accept trades that is lose in the beginning and tried to use other controlling methods or TS to reduce the losing pips (=pips saved).

once the EA passes 8 years (historical data), i will use 3 years prior to that 8 years or after that to test on data which is never used to observed. (is this walk forward test?) Since the EA isnt scalper based hence i think 99.9% isnt needed?

I would like to learn some advance theory of methods to enter/filter trades and hope seniors here and share some directions? any tips on making a scalper EA that makes +/- 5%?

many thanks Sirs!

HI,

I've try by requesting SYMBOL_VOLUME_MIN and SYMBOL_VOLUME_STEP for MQL5 and returns all the time the same values 34 and 36 no matter of currency.

Also the syntax included into Custom MQL Code not works.

@vnpython-0 f course the KJS i would get value from candle id from 1 to 26

You know, I read your post multiple times, but I'm still not sure what is your question. I don't know if this can help, but because you are talking about groups... I want to tell you that if you want (and if it works for you) you can write multiple group numbers separated with comma, for example 1,2

Can you make some simple project for example, so I can see what are you doing, because I don't really understand what you want to explain here 🙂

I don't think that the type of one variable can change anything. After all, the EA that is generated contains many many variables with different types. It's true that the generated EA contains 100s and 1000s rows of code, while you could manually code the same strategy with so much less amount of code.

Not only that, but I know that sometimes the MQL code itself is slow for reasons that I don't know. I noticed many times before that the amount of code in a function can make it slow, even if 99% of that code never runs. I guess that when the code is compiled, it is not optimized very good and it's like the code in a function is parsed every time the function runs. I don't know if this is true, but it feels this way.

So again, the type of 2-3 variables will not make a change. And todays computers have so much RAM. Even with the 1000s rows of code that fxDreema produces, I think that there are not RAM problems. I personally have 32GB of RAM, only because of the amount of browsers that I use. MetaTrader is nothing compared to Chrome or Firefox in my opinion 🙂

This probably comes from the demo account that I use for these examples. I have this extra account and I probably added this indicator somewhere in the past, so it appears there. But I never use "My Indicators" in the examples, simply because I don't expect people to have the indicators. I also can't add Renko, because this is also some extra EA or Indicator. And by the way, when you are making an EA for Renko, you simply put it over the offline chart and it should work. Your Renko EA or Indicator is something outside the EA.

ok sir, i will try again at later date

I know this bug, it is just a visual bug. That input sits there all the time, but it goes visible when it doesn't need to. But "cross width" is something that nobody uses anyway. I know only 1 case when someone really needed it, and it was years ago. Don't be afraid of it, it doesn't break anything.

no wonder.. it was not expand and i didnt see it.. by the way Sir, anyway to teach how to use 2 or more comment on a screen successfully? i still cant figure out and gave up and work on other areas (reduce the comment line)
