The only advice I can give is to use less blocks as possible and to connect them in more optimized way, which is something full of depends. Even I don't know everything that happens in MT4/MT5. Other than that, what can you do really... It's my job to make the EAs run faster, but this is not always easy

You are doing things blindly. And I am even more blind, because I don't even know how your indicator looks like. But once you understand indicators, it's not hard at least to find what the problems are.

Here the first two examples are showing how to inspect values, including indicator buffers - https://fxdreema.com/examples/#Tips-and-Tricks

Before using any indicator make sure that:

the indicator can be loaded, works well and there are no error messages in the logs you know it's values

Every time when you export .mq4/.mq5 file, compressed copy of the project is appended at the end of the file. Then this file can be imported back into fxDreema. So, .mq4/.mq5 files are some sotr of backup files or they are used to transfer projects.

...MQ4 FILE...GOT IT.

That is true, but you can manually add them to the chart. I don't know how to tell MT4 to draw indicators and I don't know if that is even possible, but again, they can be manually added

If you want to pause the EA for a while when CCI becomes > than 100, there is this "Delay" block, but note that it stops the whole EA for a while. But this will not work as expected in a backtest.

Otherwise maybe something with some of the "Once per..." blocks, or using a Variable, or Flag... it depends.

Nevermind. Found my dumb error

Been trying and yes, this seems to be the case.

Show me what you are doing exactly

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?

This is something that I also want to have, but for some reason I am never thinking about it seriously and I am doing other things instead 🙂

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.

I told you few times. "OR" is like Once per tick. You can run it 100000 times in that tick and it will pass 1 time. On the next tick - the same happens. "OR" block is not aware of other blocks. "OR" does not care what is above or below it. "OR" does not have control over other blocks.

With "OR"

No "OR"

Even one single Condition block does that, it check IF and then if the result is TRUE it goes to one path, otherwise it goes to another path. Few Condition blocks work as a single Condition if there is 1 input and 2 outputs.

I don't really know what to say, I think it's obvious. When two blocks are connected, the first one (if it passes) causes the next one to run. Two groups of Conditions can be connected. There is also "Run blocks" block.

Maybe problems with connection? When you select new indicator, information from the server is read. Normally there is very little lag and you should not be aware that for most things the server is requested. I am far away from USA and I have ping of 120ms with fxdreema.com, but normally I don't feel that something is working slow

Here is for example how to close a trade if it's older than 1 hour - https://fxdreema.com/shared/QKXmhyGWb Of course, something else can be used instead "close".

There is actually a function to turn any Time value into candle offset - https://docs.mql4.com/series/ibarshift I wonder if it's a good idea to add it in Condition -> (in loop)... , but I'm not sure 🙂

Now the web version has different way of storing project files, which the desktop version does not understand. At the moment I have no plans of updating the desktop version 🙂

Put "Delay" where you want to pause. I am doing this sometimes when I want to pause somewhere.

If you don't use stops and blocks to stop a trade and the EA is working live, then probably you also have another EA working in background that does that. I have no reports for problems in these blocks. I updated some other stuff, but not these functions, I just don't expect something to be wrong with Condition or Close Trades

No, it's not necessary. If there is no trade to be closed, nothing will be closed, "Close Trade" will appear to do nothing

It means any number that is floating number, like 1.2345. There is another data type "float" by the way. Here is more: https://docs.mql4.com/basis/types
