New top/bottom in Trend blocks

[james]

Hello again

I've created a small EA here: http://fxdreema.com/shared/xpg9VW2Yb.

In back testing the new trend blocks seem to work fine and pick up trends, but running on a live demo account, nothing.

Am I misunderstanding the use of these blocks?

Thanks.

I think this will give multiple trades at once, when the signal comes...
It depends on the timeframe of course. 50 pips in 10 candles... there is no reason for these blocks to work only on backtest, so probably you have to wait more.
But when something does not happen, also check error messages.

Yes. My little shared EA was only an illustration, but I've amended it to avoid multiple trades! http://fxdreema.com/shared/pgenKEUid.

And even at 5 pips in 2 candles I still get no trades on the live feed, but plenty on the back test.

I have checked the error messages on the live feed, and there are no errors.

I have the point format set to 0.01, as the instrument is priced 2531.32, for example. Have I understood the point format correctly?

Have you any other thoughts?

Well, at the moment there is no way to demo-test this because markets are closed. Let's do than on Monday

I think I've worked out where I've been going wrong with this. Thank you for your help.
