Full candle close above/below EMA
-
How can I set conditions for trade to activate when a full candle closes above/below the 20 EMA. Thanks in advance.
-
@drewliedadeuce Your logic is correct except for the closing part. That 'Pass' block is unnecessary and the 'If trade' block should be duplicated: one for buys only and the other one for sells only.
-
Thank you! By the way I have filtered the closing conditions one filters buys and the other filters sells. You guys are the best!

@drewliedadeuce You're welcome.

So I am still having trouble with this. I only want the trade to open when the candle has crossed and closed above/below the 20 EMA. I have tried using the close of candle ID 1. the dilemma i run into is if i decide to manually close the trade it is automatically reopened. Any advice? @l-andorrà @l-andorrà @fxDreema

@drewliedadeuce I'm not very good at giving forex strategy advice, I'm afraid. Just try both systems and compare their results.

Hi friend I have tried both and know which one i want to use. I do not need strategy advice I just need a solution to keep a trade from opening if i close it manually
-
@drewliedadeuce Ok, sorry. Are you opening both manual and automatic trades? If so, all relevant blocks in your EA shloud be selecting the 'ALL' option in the 'Groups' display menu.
-
I am opening only automatic trades. I wish to be able to close them manually if the trade begins losing too much but for some reason the EA opens another trade immediately after i close it. But you are suggesting that changing the group number should fix this, correct?
-
@drewliedadeuce In general, yes. Specifying different groups to different opening trades can fix the problem. However, it will depend on your current structure. Maybe taking a look at your project would help.
