Just When You Thought You Had It
-
If you're familiar with my last forum, I'm sure you noticed the pain and struggles I went through to figure out that problem; nonetheless, no problem is unsolvable. Hours upon hours, I finally figured out what was wrong and I got the EA to work. However, it was time now to figure out in that EA to get the EA to buy whenever a buy signal shows up (which I got that part) and to close when a sell signal from the indicator appears. On this problem alone I probably spent a good 3 hours and I was still stumped.

So far, this is as close as I got, DESIGN WISE; when I throw this design on the EA, IT GOES HORRIBLY WRONG, like literally, HORRIBLE.

So, as you can see, what I'm trying to do here is have the EA buy when the buy signal APPEARS, and close the trade when a sell signal APPEARS while opening a sell order and closing when a buy signal APPEARS and visa verse over and over and over again.

by the way guys, the indicator that I'm referencing to is located in that url up top. Knock yourselves out and download it and us it. I personally think it's a pretty good indicator when modified properly, and it can make a lot of bread when mixed with other good strategies.
If anyone any place the blocks in the right order to show me what I'm trying to achieve I would really appreciate the help. Thanks so much and looking forward to help anyone else who has any questions.
Just another day, Noor

Alright, I just wanted to fill you in that I have figured it out and that was what I came up with and it was able to work. However, I am still having a few problems that I'm sure I can figure out in time, such as, well for one it keeps on opening multiple trades at random times when a condition is met and closing them right away. For that issue I think ima have to add an ONE TRADER PER BAR block or something, however, I can't exceed the 10 step since I'm not a SUBSCRIBER to fxdreema,..... YET lol. There was one more problem that I was having and that was during some trades which the condition is met, it wouldn't open any trades and at times it would. Weird.
Nonetheless, when I have some more free time and I finish up my homework for my college class I'll be spending a lot more time playing around with these blocks.
Thank you so much fxdreema for the lovely and hard work you are putting into this. Your work will not go unnoticed.

Ok, so here's the next problem that I am having at the moment.
http://puu.sh/rXKV8/e002c9152e.jpg
What's happening here is that the EA is taking more trades than it is suppose to during the same bar, even while I have the ONE TRADE PER BAR block attached.

while in some cases, the indicator will appear a trade signal, it'll take the trade and close it right away for some reason, meanwhile, other times it won't do that.http://puu.sh/rXLoe/d22efa3a37.jpg
and other cases, no trade signal and it will take the trade. Not good.http://puu.sh/rXLvS/5a6766ad0b.png
However, if I use this trading strategy, I get good results. Why, I can't figure it out. http://puu.sh/rXLzD/b562e674e6.png

I see 2 paths for "Sell now" - the first one is after block 7 and the second one is via block 16. Yes, "Sell now" will run 2 times in this configuration if the candle is new for "Once per bar".
I think I told you few times about that immediate close. I don't know what else to say
Here is that flip-flop example from which you can get some ideas: https://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-buy-sell- ... conditions
