New to fxdreema and would like some advice please

[Alphaandy]

Hi Everyone,
I've recently started with fxdreema and have been trying to create an EA with the following criteria.
The Ea should open one trade, either a sell or buy on the daily chart and only close the trade when a single condition is met.

1. How do I tell the EA that it should only open one trade in one direction?

There are four conditions that need to be met and are opposite for either a buy or sell ie
Buy Conditions
Condition 1 = MACD 12,26,1 > value 0.00
Condition 2 = MACD 5,15,1 > value 0.00
Condition 3 = Accelerator Oscillator > value 0.00
Condition 4 = MA 9 > MA 25
2. Either one of these conditions could pass the rule at anytime and in any order so therefore I need to set these so that they are not reliant on the order that the condition is met but when all of them are met - any help please.

3. How do I connect these conditions in the correct order.
   The attached shows how I have this set at the moment but it's not trading as I expect

@alphaandy
The logic flow in the picture is correct, nothing wrong there.

See the Close trades -blocks, have you filtered them to work on only buys / only sells?

Roar is right. We should take a look within the blocks to find the reason why it doesn't work. Could you please share your project?

[Alphaandy]

@roar Yes I have -

@l-andorrà - How do I share ?

Hi Guy's,

Think this is what you want.0_1568141600247_Double MACD + MA Cross  EUR_GBP.mq4

@alphaandy Technically it's fully working EA. If you chain the conditions like that, the order doesn't matter. The EA checks the conditions on each new tick.

Do you want all the conditions to be true simultaneously, or can there be time difference? Like, today the accelerator condition is ok, tomorrow the rest of conditions are ok but accelerator is not -> open trade?

[Alphaandy]

@roar There can be time differences between the conditions being true ie the 2MA's may have moved above or below 2 days before so stay true until all of the other 3 conditions are met. At that point the EA should place the trade. The same goes for the MACD's and the Oscillator.Hope that helps

[roar]

@alphaandy Ok, this complicates the build a bit.. You see, normally the EA works tick-by-tick, everything that happened last tick will be totally forgotten when a new tick happens.

To "remember", we have to use variables

@roar Hi, The attached shows how I trade manually at the moment (no charge (-:) as you are kind enough to help me solve this problem.
My idea is to create the same manual trading strategy in the EA and test so that I can remove any emotion from my trading (sometimes my gut tells me to ignore my own system ie similar pairs etc) and want to test this on a demo account for a few months so that I can access the best pairs to trade.

[roar]

@alphaandy Ah, ok, so all the conditions will be simultaneously true, even though the exact crossing points aren't.
The EA you built should work as expected.

Do you want to check conditions on closed candles, not active candle? In that case, use candle ID 1 in these settings:

By default, its empty, that means candle 0, the current candle.

@roar - Thank you - I'll give that a try.
