Not opening buy trades
-
Good day,
My bot is working great except for one thing. It doesn't open buy trades. On backtesting it showed it open over 200 sell trades in a year compared to only 30 buy trades. Here is a shared copy to show my project if anyone can explain to me why it does this? https://fxdreema.com/shared/veAMScQ2b

@Berg3699 It's opening both buy and sell trades. I run your project in tester.
Maybe you did specify sell trades only on Tester EA settings?
Lot size on first sell trade looks a bit strange. You should use constants for input parameters and variables to store other values. You use the constant LotSize with the Modify variables block.

The lot size changes as your equity grows or shrinks. The bot opens up buy trades in the beginning and then afterwards nothing. I got it fixed should have changed the move away from open price with a - had it as positive. Now it opens up trades as it should thank you for the help. Maybe you can help. How can I stop the ea from open more than x amount of trades? In the back testing I found that the bot opens a bucket load of trades and it eats away at the drawdown. So much that my drawdown sits at 70-80% or even margin call.

@berg3699 You need to formulate the conditions you are expecting. For instance you can set a maximum of trades to beopened or a SL for all trades. It depends.
