So the customer indicator works once loaded.

However if I check the "variable" box to allow a user to change settings and then try to compile it gives me:

Compilation errors
'FAST' - semicolon expected
'SLOW' - semicolon expected

This is a MACD customer indicator where I checked boxes for Fast and Slow but for some reason it now gives me that message. If I don't check the boxes, it compiles fine.

Don't know if it's a bug or something I have to enter directly on the customer indicator fields on my end.

I have never found a way to jump to a particular date and time in MT4 without scrolling backwards.

I know about doing it when you've run a backtest and and you can click on the order but I'm talking about doing it when no order has been placed.

Anyone know?

But in this case doesn't OR only pass if 1 of the 3 above are true?

Okay, I'm pretty sure you're describing what I wanted.

I only want 1 of those above OR to be executed before continuing for each tick.

Also, those 3 OR conditions are all X> or X< so am I best to use OR rather than yellow line, since the yellow line would interpret it as meaning the opposite of X< or X>?

Otherwise I would much prefer to use the yellow line if it will achieve the same affect rather than this mess I've created.

That clarifies a lot for me (if you look through my question history, you'll see I had trouble understanding how the yellow works)

So I want to confirm, yellow does mean if the previous condition is false, then...(unless we are talking x< or x>)

Also, does the diagram show the same result that using yellow would have (instead of OR)?

btw, this program is great, if there is any other forum out there that you want me to give a shout out, let me know.

Hey FXDREEMA, any plans on an indicator builder?

Just wishing.

Has any seen a plugin for Metatrader that will show you a list of data for each set condition after backtesting is done?

In other words after backtesting, sometrades are profitable and of course some are not.

I manually go through and check the indicators for the unprofitable vs the profitable to find the difference.

It would be nice to have program that just gives me a spread sheet of the indicator data at time of trades.

Anyway, cheers.

1. Looking at your example: I thought the Yellow created an "if opposite" then...rather than, just if it's not true. (Because not true doesn't necessarily always mean exact opposite).

2. Also, does OR apply to the blocks below or above it? I was thinking above since the example in the "examples" section explains that only one of each group above the OR would trigger:

Does this produce the same result as the previous pic?

I see what you mean.

Basically 1HR of the trade would effectively serve the purpose. (or 2hr or 3hr etc.)

So, in other words, I can use the block for time from trade to withhold running block or stop running blocks after a trade depending on these settings.

Take a look at this pic. One row has a variation for the same condition and then they are all the same in the next set but the next row has a variation in its conditions.

I believed I used OR correctly but I'm wondering if there was a more efficient way to use it so that I didn't have to copy all the above conditions.

In other words, could I have used the static conditions just once and then used OR to ONLY address the variations?

USING OR BEFORE AND AFTER.jpg

I feel like this is a simple stupid question but I'm having a mental "block" (no pun intended)

How can I say, IF THIS GROUP OF CONDITIONS IS TRUE then ACTIVATE THIS OTHER GROUP OF CONDITIONS, otherwise, do something else or nothing?

I sort of understand.

Basically, I want a condition to run only after x bars from the trade.

As you describe it, I'm having trouble differentiating between "for each trade" and "if trade".

I did get it to work, but I had to close out of the browser and open again.

The "dead block" issue does happen occasionally.

Think I figured it out...Use "if trade" and then connect orange to "every 'n' bars"?

That should keep the condition from running until a trade has been made and then 'n' bars after that.

Did I get it right?

A follow up question would be to mark WHEN a trade was made.

For example I would like to compare a current condition to a condition 3 candles ago but only 3 candles from the TRADE, not before.

Is there a time block I can use so that it waits "n" candles after the trade before running the condition?

I use Google Chrome, so I don't know if that has anything to do with this problem.

Sometimes the blocks are "dead" I click on them to edit but they will not open.

The check the "check the distance between two levels" block is not adjusting the option when I select the input. For example, when I select "indicator" the options below still say, "ask, bid, etc" as if it was still on the "price" input.

I tried refreshing the browser but the problem persists.

Is there a block that can flag the price of the trade?

For example, if "current price" is > then "price of trade" then bla bla bla.?

When creating constants or variables what does "double" mean for type?

Is there any way to transfer files to the desktop version?

I tried using "import" and selecting the mq4 file but it said "no record found".

Could my BUY conditions to enter a trade be interfering and cancelling out the sell?

I wouldn't think so because this particular broker allows hedging.
