Block BUYS & Reinforce SELLS on ZigZag High Break

[windsor-2003]

Hello everyone,

I’m working on an MQL5 Expert Advisor that uses the ZigZag indicator to detect trend turns. My current logic is:

1. When a sell condition is met, open a SELL order.
2. When a buy condition is met, open a BUY order.

However, during pullbacks after a SELL entry, the ZigZag sometimes draws small counter-trend swing structures that trigger a BUY signal—so the EA opens a BUY while still holding the initial SELL.

What I actually want is:

1. Suppress any BUY orders as long as the original SELL position remains open.
2. Track the price of the ZigZag pivot high at the time of the initial SELL entry (i.e. the swing high that triggered the sell).
3. When price breaks above that pivot high, open another SELL order (to reinforce the short) instead of opening a BUY.

Could anyone show how to implement this in MQL5? Specifically:

• How to record and update the last ZigZag swing-high price in OnTick() (using CopyBuffer or similar)
• How to detect and compare the current Bid price against that stored pivot high
• How to bypass BUY logic when a SELL position is open
• How to send an additional SELL order when the pivot high is broken

A code snippet or tips on integrating this into the OnInit() / OnTick() structure would be hugely appreciated!

Thank you in advance.]

Are you requesting raw custom code of an fxDreema structure doing it?

Big Thanks for jumping in! l'andorrà

I’m actually looking for the step-by-step fxDreema block setup rather than the raw MQL5 code. Could you show me how to piece together those blocks in fxDreema to:

1. Store and update the ZigZag pivot high when a SELL opens
2. Suppress any BUY blocks while the SELL is still active
3. Trigger a new SELL block once the price breaks the stored pivot high

A clear walkthrough of each block and its parameters would be hugely appreciated.

@l-andorrà more clear point:

The red line is Zig Zag, at that time I had ordered buy 1, but that still was not closing at H0. So my next move is when the price moves below L,0, I will open Buy 2.

So the point is, whenever Zig Zag starts to create H and L, it will start to count as H0 and L0 and the period H and L will change every time. Then, how do I set up the block to buy when the price moves below L0?

Big Thanks, Big Man... very need your help.

This is how to begin with:

Now you can get the values of H0, H1, L0 and L1 updated every new candle. You can now select which value you need to open a buy or a sell from there.
