delay-block?

Only when you update the title. Their size depends on the text in the title. When the project goes into the database, there is no data about the blocks size, there is only a position of the block, while the size is decided by the browser

Thank you so much!!!

What about this Variables thing above the list of blocks?

Otherwise if you are thinking about PHP-like variables, those are not possible. MQL4/5 is based on C++ (I believe), in which all variables are defined before the compilation. But you can probably work with arrays. There are some dynamic arrays. But it's a pain in the ass to work with arrays in MQL4/5, at least for me. You can try it. To define Variable that is array, try to name that variable with []

You would have to assign different weight on each trade - if you have 1.00 lot buy at price 1.000 and 0.01 lot buy at price 2.000, the midpoint is not price 1.500 but close to 1.000..
There could be a way to calculate this, with a million variables, but its not very simple 😄

Well, MT5 does this automatically, everytime...

The only way is open the block itself on the MT metaeditor. There is no way to do it within fxDreema.

@yalgaar Pink works under the [For EACH trade], BLUE works with [Bucket of trades] and others

Connect this block to some other, let's say "Pass". This "Pass" block does nothing at all, but it's used when you want to run another block that is normally not connected to anything. The rule is that for a block to work, it must be connected with another block. All disconnected blocks are removed from the output file.

Just use the Trailing stop (each trade) block. There are many options inside, one of which is for something that I call Trailing Start. This is where you can write this offset of 50 pips, so no trade will be touched until 50 pips of profit is reached.

Set Trailing Step to 1 pip.

And for Trailing Stop you have the option to use % values. You can see you have "% of Profit" option and also other options.

Thank you so much micro1360!!!
I can see it now! 🙂

I suggest fxDreema to make it different color for others who might not see just like me. Following is how I see it.

I did not noticed this option "Customized", in that case, using formula this way it must working good 😀

I am trying the following but this is not working. Can you suggest what could be wrong?

CandleID 3 is not true with condition but CandleID 2 is true with condition and trade was opened when CandleID 2 was CandleID 1 (lool mixed explanation 😄 ) ... but it is working right ... MA cross hapened after big bullish candle closed (and you toke trades when candle closes (from ID 1) ) ... so I think, it is working fine

You are awesome Miro1360!!!! I am not happy that my strategy is not going to be profitable! but I am very joyful that we cracked the problem out. Thank you very much for the diagram and the explanation. This is 100% clear to me and I am in agreement with you about this.

What I learned here is that you do not have to look at the space between the 2 candles to find out if the EMA is above or below each other. But you have to look at the center of the candle itself! Thanks again for the explanation. I am your fan now!!

@bluemoon so does this work fine now

@fxDreema said in Trailing:

The Trailing stop block works with the current price (let's say Ask) and the current SL to decide when is the right time to modify SL. It looks at the difference between both levels all the time. Now, you want to modify SL at every 10 pips and to put SL at 50% of the difference between Ask and SL. You have absolute Step and relative Stop. You can try with this option "Multiple levels" for Trailing Stop, but the problem with this option is that you can define certain number of levels, it's not a formula that can work for infinite number of levels.

Again, the problem is that you need to somehow work with invisible grid of levels where each new level is exactly 10 pips above (or below) the previous one. But the Trailing stop block looks at the SL line to decide when to modify it again. You want the SL line to change like this:

when profit 50 pips put SL at 25 pips when profit 60 pips put SL at 30 pips when profit 70 pips put SL at 35 pips when profit 80 pips put SL at 40 pips when profit 90 pips put SL at 45 pips when profit 100 pips put SL at 50 pips

This is the closest that was able to make: https://fxdreema.com/shared/MM7kc2SZb But because I use relative Step, the levels are not exactly 50, 60, 70, 80 and so on... But what is the chance to have more than 5-6 SL modifications, it's very low. I put some "Delay" block in "on Trade", so the EA will pause on each SL modification and you will be able to easily measure all the distances.

You are awesome!! Thank you very much to take the time. However I have a few questions and need some more clarifications:

I don't understand the need of the "Delay" block. Can you please explain more about the need for this? You mentioned "Multiple levels" for trailing stops in your message but in the link you sent for the real blocks, I don't see you are using this. I believe you are showing 2 methods to achieve this. But I am getting confused with the methods. Can you please clarify this? Lets say I am ok to use "multiple levels" and manually type all levels and their stops. Is there a limit to how many levels it will allow me to type in the block? In your examples you have used the "SL" for the stops. Does it matter if you use "SL" or "TP" for trailing? is there any difference?

try this:

There is a pink block "check profit" (with small letters) that is more special, it should be used inside a loop made with one of the "For each...." blocks.

Oh! Not sure how I could not see that! Thanks.
