Well, I found the answer. I used the ticket for this update. Works fine.

I have one http request sent to my db when a trade is opened. It works fine. It's sending the price, stop loss, take profit and things like that.
When a trade is closed I would like to update my trade in the db with the close price.
But how can I identify the correct one in the db? Any idea what I could use to identify the right trade?
UPDATE db SET closeprice=$closeprice WHERE what=$what;

I found the error. I had this placed in the "on tick". I moved it to "on trade" and now it sent the http request.

Yes, it's already added in the Allow Web request area. But it isn't working.

Haven't anyone here an idea what could be wrong?
Didn't anyone do something similar that is working?

I made a very simple http request EA to test this, but I can't seem to make it work.
I just have two blocks to run this test, but nothing is stored in the db.
When I write the url in my browser and setting the end part to: test.php?pair='EUR/USD' then it is entered to the db.
But when making an order in MT4 nothing seems to send the POST to the specified address. Is there something else I need to do to make it work?
I have the address added to the Allow WebRequest in MT4 as well.

Any clues?

@fxdreema but where do I use the returned value?
If I use a GET http request and send it to a php page and the return parameter == 1. What block is used to use the returned value?

Let's say I want to check if the user is active. I send the GET to the php page and it will return active = 1. But then I want to use this in fxdreema, but where and how?

I'm thinking about an EA, but not sure yet how to start and not the whole thing sorted out yet.
But is there a way to have an EA to GET data from a mySQL table? Any ideas on how to do it?

Is it possible to make an EA in fxdreema where it will send an e-mail if a trade is closed.
If any trade is closed and then include if the trade closed in profit or not.
Or do I need to have one EA for every currency pair.

The trade might be placed by another EA or manually. I just want it to check if any open trade is closed and in profit or not.

Would this be possible?

And how can I put that in the correct field?
That field is already only one I can select from, right?

Is there a way I can make a user input to select which MA they want to use.
If it the MA, EMA, SMA or LWMA?
I have seen it in other EA's, but not sure how to do it in fxdreema.
Anyone?

Thanx a lot. That's it. It place the arrows on the previous candle when it close.
I knew it does, but didn't think about it for the EA. So now it seems to work. Now I will just try to make it do what I want it to do.

I am trying to build an EA with an external indicator.
The indicator places green and red arrows on the chart in the direction when to trade.
The colors of the arrows can be set in the Buffer 2 and Buffer 3.
I thought I could make a check if Buffer 2 != 0 then BUY.
If Buffer 3 != 0 then SELL.

But nothing happens, so I guess it's not sending out anything throught that buffer which is controlling the colors.
Is there any other way to check this? I think I read about something called Levels Tester to check the output, but can't find that block and not sure how to use it then.
Or is there any other solution that might work? Any ideas?

Great!! Will try that.

Is it possible to make a input box on the chart for a user or do they have to go to the parameter to change things?
If I have an EA with a BUY and SELL button and want the user to be able to set the risk % for the trade on the chart. Is it possible to have an input box where they can fill in this in a text box on the chart to make it easier than going into the EA parameters?
And when they are done they can just click the BUY or SELL.

It's not really what I am planning to do, but just a simple description of how I want an input to be used.
Is this possible in fxdreema? Or for an EA at all?

I just got an answer from MetaQuotes how to solve the problem. The MT4 needs to have the 1080 build and these are the steps to make this on a Mac. There are few steps to update:

You should open demo account on MetaQuotes-Demo server and log in. Accounts -> Open an Account -> click "add new broker ..." -> enter MetaQuotes-Demo -> click "Scan" -> select MetaQuotes-Demo -> click "Next".

Restart the terminal.

Wait until "LiveUpdate finished" record would appear in Journal tab.

Restart the terminal once again.

Check terminal's build.

The EA's aren't working on Mac anymore. I have tried it on 5 different MT4 and also old EA's that used to work.
When I run them on my VPS on Windows they work fine, but not anymore on Mac. At first I thought it was MT4, so I downloaded a new version of MT4 and thought it was working, but now the same thing is happening on my Mac at work. The new EA's I save from fxdreema will not work any longer.

Any ideas what might be wrong? Any changes in a new fxdreema update that might cause this?
Would be great to have it working like it was before, since I only work on Mac and the VPS is not good for testing. At least not for me.

Now I downloaded a new version of MT4 for Mac and it works again.
