Especially, when you run EA on hosted VMs with limited resources, it will cause execution delays and can even eat up the advantage you usually have from the hosted VM being so close to the broker server.

To me, the description is definitely wrong for "new bottom in trend" block. Worried logic also still using oldest low to current. I believe, correct logic should be;

1. For new top: oldest low to current must have certain positive value
2. For new bottom: oldest high to current must have certain negative value

Here is "New top in trend", which I believe is correct.

@fxDreema , is it just a mismatched description or logic is same as "New top in trend"? I haven't tested tho, as I'm thinking of using it for first time. Thanks!

@GeoFX , well said, mate! I ain't tasting a success yet, but am a long time trader and i totally agree with you on that "human factor".. Cheers!

@roar , Thanks!
Got a little light now :). I will figure out. Cheers!

@roar , I do not want to close all positions. Just want to close either long or short position (at my choice) from same symbol.

@roar , Thanks for answer.
I am still learning fxDreema on and off and I still do not get what you have answered. Forgive me if my question is too silly.
Let me explain situation a bit deeper and also rephrase the question.
Usually I open couple of counter trades in few indices during Friday session before I go to bed (I am in Asia) and based on the market situation analyzed over the weekend I want to close either long or short trade on Monday morning.
May I know how should I implement my EA to pick the particular trade (let's say short trade) to close immediate upon market opening on Monday?

Hello,

Let's say I have few trades manually opened last week and I want to close some of them (not all), once the first tick starts on Monday. May I know how to implement it?

Thanks!

@ambrogio , You did help me to understand functions of some blocks. You are appreciated.

@ambrogio , Thanks for reply. In fact you dun even want to call it a strategy. It is just a helper utility to place counter trade (kinda hedging) either at SL or TP position, as I cannot keep watching the screen all time. From that I will try to manage at later time, based on the price movement. Too silly idea compared to those trying to create winning strategy with automation. But I will survive with what I have now. Really appreciate you and others here for whatever the guidance given.

Here you go.

@ambrogio , Thanks for update. I will try testing soon. But just wonder, since creating pending buy order above market price is not possible, why do you keep going for it? I have tested using buynow and it works at basic level (screenshot attached). Anyway, I will definitely test your update and post back here. Cheers!

Just to update. I tested starting from condition check and it did place MANY orders. Then I added "Turn Off Blocks" and manage to stop it at single order.

Will you guys please teach me how to terminate the EA itself after executing once and also delete the objects created by EA. Thanks!

@ambrogio , I have done before. It didn't work. Here is my project. https://fxdreema.com/shared/4cRND7wIb . Kindly comment. My take is that the broker does not accept placing "buy pending order" above the current market price. Only way is to use condition and "buy now". Sadly, that one also did not work ( https://fxdreema.com/shared/KcmW6IoR ). Pls correct me if my idea is wrong. Thanks!

@l-andorrà Not at all. . I started this with very simple question.

@ambrogio said in How can I create an EA to place an order for buying above current price?:

@7r4d3rsg Hi, try this

@ambrogio @l-andorrà , I really appreciate your guidance. But I'm struggling to understand the variable "Stop-Loss" in "Buy pending order" block. What I want to do is to set a target buy price manually in that pending order, also pls note that I do not have SL in original order. I am sorry if it is too silly to ask such question, but I do not have experience in either FXD and any kind of programming EA. Hope you guys can understand and help. Thanks!

I think I should explain better. Please see in picture. Assume I manually sell at certain price (with TP, but w/o SL) and immediately run EA to place a BUY order at higher price (instead of using SL). Will you guys please help to resolve this? I know hedging does not always work, but something like I want to buy time to watch the situation for sometime, rather than stopped out straight away.

@ambrogio , Thanks for help. I will try and let you know soon.

@l-andorrà , Thanks for help. I will try and let you know soon.
