Thank you.

Can anyone explain why these 2 different work flows give different results? All the pink blocks are identical and all the blue blocks are identical. They all reference the same group/trade. They are simply different conditions for closing the trade. Whichever one is present first, closes the trade.

In theory, the results should the same if I just create OR connections between each condition; whichever one is true first, closes the trade.

Why am I getting extremely different results?

Sorry to bug, but I still can't find where the magic number (plus the group number) is referenced in the journal. I've attached a small sample of a journal for a test I'm running. I have 3 groups that run trades under different scenarios and I would like to be able to see which group triggered the trade.

Of course! MT wants to make sure I do math to get my answer! Thank you for your answer.

When running a test, does MT5 show what Group Number executed the trade? If so, where? I looked in the journal but I do not see any reference to my group numbers.

@l-andorrà I would have the same follow up question. It could vary. For what I'm working on, it would be the candle for when a chart object was created...like an arrow. So this could be candle 1,2,3 or even 20.

The point is to enter the order at the high of that candle when that chart object was drawn.

I have been able to study block an sort of see but I don't know how to create a "name" for the object so that the object can be referenced for the pending order.

What combination of blocks might I use to have an order placed at the previous candle's high or low (or even a few pips above or below)>

In this pic, all of these "Check Age" blocks are identical. Do I need all of them or just the first one on the left?

I was also wondering if it's possible to have the money management specified by the user.

For example, there are 19 Money Management systems. Betting on Fibonacci is #15 on the list. I would think that I could have a user enter 1-19 to choose the corresponding money management. Is this possible? When testing, it doesn't seem like it is.

No sure how to share the link. If you are able to go into it, the name is "BOLRVI AND REVEARSAL fixed equity"

I attached screenshot of user input settings and the buy block. It seems that no matter what the equity in the account (I'm testing with $10k) it only trades .01''

If we have user input for money management, shouldn't it just be so that the user enters the corresponding number to the name of the money management on the drop down list? (for example, 15=betting Fibonacci).

I tried this and it seems that once I added the user input option, the user input for the number of lots does not work. No matter what I put for the number of lots, it only trades .01.

When you use a 20 SMA and a 20 WMA, it is a great reference for short term trend direction. I would like a MACD that help get out of a trade when these converge too much.

For starters it would be nice if the MACD could compare a weighted MA to a simple MA.

I use RVI crosses a lot in my systems but I need a way to only trade when the crosses is significant, rather than just a sliver. I would use inputs after analyzing the pair to see where the number should be to allow the trade.

Thanks for your response.

Has anyone seen an indicator for MT5 that can measure the difference between any 2 objects/indicators on the chart? Like MACD but instead of just 2 moving averages, 2 of anything...2 Bollinger bands, an MA and Bollinger Band, 2 MA of different calculations(like one SMA and one weighed MA)?

I've done a cursory search on MT5 forum but it's a mess if indicators there.

I know I saw a customizable MACD years ago for MT4 that allowed different settings for each MA and that would be a great start but I can't seem to find it.

Please help! Thanks!

@l-andorrà This works. However, I was trying to think of a way for blocks to pass only when conditions are met for x number of ticks. Candle ID of 1 means a lot can happen before the trade is triggered. On the other hand, if the cross is confirmed for 5 ticks (or whatever) in a row, then it is confirmed early on without missing so many ticks in the rest of the candle. I feel there is a way by using looping blocks. I just haven't figured it out yet.

How do I do that? If I give the name of the EA, are you able to just into my account?

"RVI BOL 3 2021 DONT TOUCH"

Let me know if you need me to do it differently.

I know we can leave actions as "current," if we want the indicator to be useful on different time frames, but since I have a "position age" block involved, which depends on the time of the candle, I want the time to be input.

Since inputs usually involve numbers, is it possible to have a "time frame input," where we might want a user to enter 5m, 30m, 1hr, 4hr, etc...

I know we could have it all in minutes, but this drastically slows down the strategy tester.

What's this black magic you speak of?!

(lol thanks!)

Is it possible and what block might I use to determine if a cross exists for "X" number of ticks in a row.

I may have an indicator cross up during a candle but by the end of the candle, it may cross back down, yielding and unwanted trade. Is there a different way to go about it than above?

Follow up questions: As you know, indicators cross and uncross several times during a candle. This can cause a problem when the end result is that there is no crossover. How would we create a condition that says "only execute when conditions are met for x number of tics in a row?"
