This is just a friendly reminder:

There are people here that give free advice and invaluable help to all these millions of questions raised in this forum. These people are the pillars of this forum because the blind cannot lead the blind. They are jewels that shine light on all our frustrations and thousands of trail and error problems, in testing of our wanna-be experts. These people do not have to help anyone and are just members like you and I but still they do it unconditionally for the love of it and for free. They are under no obligation to help us. To name just a few people like, @roar, @l-andorrà, @miro1360 and there are many more.
I, myself have wandered through this vault of knowledge they shared to so many inexperienced and found many many times that there are many people, after they have been helped do not even say: Thank you!...... That is so lame!
Would you guys please give them feedback and acknowledge their input with your expert by just giving a Thank you at least, after all, it is because of them that we are making progress.
Thank you to those that do show their appreciation. Green pips to you!!!

My apologies if I have stepped on anyone's toes.. This is not my intention.

@roar Thank you for your reply....... Well if that is the case, I will take it as an opportunity to better myself in FXdreema coding and do it myself. I know for a fact, you main guys on here do charity work in helping out if I should get stuck, to point me in the correct direction. Thank you!

@tipsywisdom Lol... or maybe he got himself in trouble with that magic and the FBI is looking for him... There are others here that is also wizz kids... Like @miro1360 but he seldom writes anything these days

Re: Some Insight Please

My apologies to @l-andorrà .. I never saw or got a message that you replied. I think it is just respectful to acknowledge the fact that someone actually took their valuable time to answer to my plea... Sorry brother

@trader-1978
I would suggest doing it like this:

@Abade69 , roar
Thanks for the insight! very interesting and agreeable to me. I am using martingale with a MACH strategy. It only starts trading when the instrument I am trading becomes in an extreme position. I made it from a small 6 blocks algorithm roar wrote many moons ago here. Of cause it has grown to 274 blocks. I am not clever enough to put into words as what you have describe as your strategy but I always had a notion it is too weak to use only back test and find an expert good or bad. Also many experts work only short term and then fade. This is enough proof to me that no expert is suppose to work from the past into the future and eternity.. It needs to change as the market change.. Say weekly, monthly or yearly depending the pair that is traded. EURUSD for example has last week changed because it was to overbought.. Thanks for the insight

That is a very good idea....... Thank you for voicing it, because I do not know much about coding so I have to explain my search. In one word searching there is to many hits that has nothing to do what i am looking for

Thank you admin for taking this good idea under advicement

@fxdreema So I am confused... I changed to mt5 because the big guns here said it is more strict making it better but now it seems using Fxdreema it would be better for the coding part to use mt4? Advice is needed please.

@trader-philipps I for one was very happy that you were in a good mood because you have taught me a lot in this post plus.... presents before Christmas.. lol .. Thank you!

@rubvil Cannot help you if you do not share the indicator, but it would go something like this. Insert buffer for buy

@jstap check previous .. I already gave you the link.

Hmmm! Thank you. I have done that... canot see a problem except if there is some way the expert see both sells buys, but because of the groups distinguish I do not see the how.. anyway.. I also split the expert in a buy only and sell only

@jstap, thanks for answering .. https://fxdreema.com/shared/wd3u7XTDc
Problem no1. The average buys and average sells get confused.
Problem no2. The average ranges and gets bigger the longer the expert run
Problem no3.. The correct writing in the right upper corner should read average Sells not average Buys

If you could help it will be much appreciated

I have two similar codes, for Average buys and Average sells.
For some reason the calculation gets mixed-up somewhere

Group1
Code for the buys: double lots = PositionGetDouble(POSITION_VOLUME);
double openlvl = PositionGetDouble(POSITION_PRICE_OPEN);

v::average_Buys = v::average_Buys + lots/v::total_lots*openlvl;
}
};
Group2
Code for the sells: double lots = PositionGetDouble(POSITION_VOLUME);
double openlvl = PositionGetDouble(POSITION_PRICE_OPEN);

v::average_Sells = v::average_Sells + lots/v::total_lots*openlvl;
}
};

Notice the script in the Sells column.. Average Buys, which should be average Sells

I get this error in the journal:
2025.01.28 14:17:37.430 2024.07.12 11:35:24 Error: Invalid TP requested (55749.77880 for Ask price 1.08857)
2025.01.28 14:17:37.430 2024.07.12 11:35:24 Error: Invalid TP requested (55749.77880 for Ask price 1.08857)

This is my blocks for Buys:

This is my blocks for Sells:

So why would this happen? Is the another way to get a dynamic TP for group1 and 2 that will not interfere with each other?

It gets worse when you have more trades running

Help would be appreciated ... Thank you

@l-andorrà Just delete it brother

The profit math idea does no work properly .. instead only use @roar algorithm.. you can build a decent martingale from this.. I have made a buy side that time to get the thing to work. The example is above.. You can just copy and alternate for sell

What Jstap is asking: How do you decide to open trades? not what is your martingale(money) strategy

@mr-lenny Mine test normal speed.. just check your blocks again

@faulky4486
Real sorry to hear about your problem.. but.. for a guy to spent so much money on an expert, you cannot use, with a programmer you cannot trust .. You do not need to trade.. you have enough, my two cent
