Beginning with groups
-
I recently discovered how useful trade groups can be. My problem is I don't fully understand how they work. I see I can define a group on each Buy/Sell block but I also see I need to define that same group on top of the conditions leading to that buy/sell block. I see I can use 'If trade', 'No trade', etc.
My problem is at creating the second group. I can specify it on Buy/sell block again, but what if I cannot use 'No trade' block on top because I want many trades on that 2nd group? I cannot use 'If trade' either because there would not be a first trade for the second group. How can I define then the origin of conditions of that 2nd group?

Can you please share your project for a more detailed answer?

im also a big fan of groups.
really helped turn my trading around...
the group number has to be inputted in the whole thread of blocks.. in order for it too work..
group numbers didnt work for me at first because i did not understand this simple thing...
like my friend above has mentioned, it would be better for you too share your project so its easier to visualize what you mean... also in the mean time, check out my project to see how ive used group numbers:

This is a short version of my project (for buys only):

Group 1 trades are opened correctly. As musabbb said the group's number is detailed at the beginning and the end of the left thread.
Problem is on Group 2. Now I know why: there's no 'initial' group namimg on top of the right thread. But I cannot put a 'No position' block there because I want to open as many buy trades as possible by using those conditions on the right. What block should I use there then?
-
I found a second problem. I added a structure for closing trades from both groups:
https://fxdreema.com/shared/ZcAR4T01d
Now when a trade from group 1 achieves its target (50 pips), the group 2 trade is closed simultanoeusly no matter what. What I want is that every trade has that same target, no matter what group they belong to. In summary:
- What block should I use on top of block 5 to identify the origin of group 2 ('no position' and 'if position' are not an option?
- How can I specifiy that all trades from both groups are closed at the same pips distance and not when the first one touches that level?

Great topic!
-
Thank you musabbb. I guessed duplicating groups would work. And what can you tell me about problem 1? Any hint?
-
I fail to understand the problem in the first question. this will open only 1 trade for group 1, but group 2 will open any time both the conditions are true. isn't that what you want?

Yes that's exactly what I want, but unfortunately one single trade belonging to group 2 is opened, no matter how many times all conditions are true. I know I need to 'envelope' all group 2 conditions but that's what I don't know how to do. Which block can I use on top of group 2 buys to identify those trades as belonging to that group? I tried 'Bucket of trades', but it doesn't work at all. Not a single group 2 trade is opened.
Any suggestion?
-
I tried with an 'if trade' block, but obviously no buys orders were opened.
Any idea? -
'For each position' doesn't work either. Not a single trade for group 2 is opened. Is there any way to create two separate groups of trades in which the second one must be repeatedly checked and not just once? I begin to believe that it's not possible.
-
The groups should be fine - just check your example condition: Bulls Power > Moving Average. Thats impossible.

@frank-2 Yeah there are lots of options

I know. This was just an example to show where conditions for group 2 are positioned right now in my general project. Just change them and select any others you like. What block could I put on top of it in order to identify this path as belonging to group 2?
-
@isp00rt Why should you identity the whole path? The path can only open #2 trades anyway?
-
Because this is what musabbb said a few messages ago. I don't know if this is correct or not. The only thing I can say is that group 2 orders don't work whereas group one's do. And I envelope the whole group 1 thread whereas I can't find a way to do it on group 2's thread. Apparently musabbb is right. Isn't he?
-
After reviewing all available blocks in the platfom I'm confused. Why some allow choosing group and others don't. I can't catch the logic behind it. I'm still testing some of them.
-
@isp00rt I'm a bit confused, too
What is the problem here, exactly? Why do you need to set the group?
