If I want to make a trade as soon as a candle crosses a Bollinger band, what shuold I use then?
I am not looking for candle close or candle high. I want to use the moment when it crosses the line.
What should I use for this?

So, what is Money per tick doing?
Didn't understand how I could use that for this...

If I want to have a block checking how much a pip is worth I can use a formula to get it, but it's different with JPY pairs.
So I thought I would make a condition block to check if it's a JPY pair used for the EA. If that's so it will do the calculation different.

So, my question is if there is a way to make one condition block that is checking if it's a pair that includes JPY with something like a wild card or whatever, like */JPY
Or do I have to make a condition block for each pair that have the JPY included to check this?

I made it in the code for at least one part. But it's boring to do it all the time when I test things, but I guess I can wait until everything is working and then do the fine tuning when I'm done.

But it would've been nice with a little code in the formula block to make it work...

I think I am getting something that works now, but is there a way to make something show with max 2 decimals?
If I want to print the LOTS to trade and don't want it to look like this: 0.17502
Is there a way to remove the last ones and just print: 0.17

Is there something in the formula that can be used to only show a number rounded to 2 decimals?

Would it be possible to use a code made in fxdreema as an indicator or is it possible to save it as an indicator?
If I want to print out the numbers for Average True Range on the chart.

If I want it to count this in pips so I know where to set my stop loss and take profit. An indicator that helps me trade live. One that show me the info on the charts instead of being a robot.

Is this possible?
There are so many chart display blocks. Not sure which ones to use for this.

Which is the easiest way to use a block to quit a trade if it's going in the wrong direction.
If I want quit a trade when it's losing more than $XXXX.
I think I've done that before, but not sure where I found that.

Sometimes I make an EA that is growing depending on the Balance of the account. But it would be nice to add a little one to set the max amount instead of just Stop loss figures.

Or should I take the profit and then open a new trade after that block?

I'm not sure, but I think I've seen it here before, but couldn't find it now.
Is there a simple way to take a part of a trade if it have reached a profit level that I set.
Eg. If I trade and I reach $50 profit, then I would like to take $40 profit and continue the trade. Like a trailing stop that will leave a certain part of the trade untouched.

Thank you. That is exactly what I did in the condition block.
But when I tested your one I found the problem. I had a "Once per bar" block earlier in the flow. That one was the problem actually.
So, thank you for opening my eyes to find the real problem.

Well the candle ID is 0 as well.
It just seems to treat the bollinger bands wrong.
I was looking at the candles when building up in the strategy tester and it only place a buy/sell whenthe close of the candle is in that position. Not the hig/low.

I would like to open a buy if the lower part of a candle is below the lower bollinger band, but when I try that it only open when a candle is closed below the lower bollinger band. It seems to ignore the low of the candle.
I made a condition block looking like this:
Candle / Parameter: Candle low < Bollinger band. Applied price = Close price. Bands mode = Lower band.

Shouldn't it be made like that to do what I want?

Yes. I tried to put an empty block at the bottom. It's the best way so far.
But maybe you can add some kind of graphich (fxdreema logo or whatever) in the window that is treated like something that must show.
Something that is placed in the window with a margin to the bottom. Not sure how to do it at all, just a thought.

No. I mean when building blocks together in the main window. On the small screen the bottom one will be outside of the window and not able to be edited or moved.
So, if I put a couple of conditions and end up with a Buy Now block at the bottom I can't change the Buy Now, since it's just shown very little of the top. The rest is hidden outside the visible window and the window can't scroll further down.

Sometimes the last block is hidden down the bottom on my 13" MacBook Pro. I have tried both in Safari and Firefox, but I can't grab the bottom block or modify it when it's at the bottom. I only see the blocks tied to it and just a tiny piece of the top.
The scrolling ends just above it, so I can't scroll all the way down to grab it.
Is this just a problem in Mac?
It seems like it treats the block from the top and ignore that there is a graphic below the top of that block icon.
Is there a solution to this or do I just have to live with it?
If I run it on a larger screen (my iMac) then it's visible.

Is there a way to use FXDreema to make an EA just work for a amount of time?
If I want someone to be able to try the EA and after 1 month it should expire. Like a demo account that is working for just one month.
I thought I should find something like this in the condition block, but couldn't figure out which ones to use. If it's possible.

When I open up that window the first line is marked by default. And I can't remove the mark.
I need to pick one of the one already in the list and that one is then removed when I upload a new one.
I'm on a Mac and I tried it in both Firefox and Chrome, but still the same.
So maybe if the default marking one should be removed in the code (if possible)?

Thank you. That was it. It was using Candle 1.
Is there somewhere in the manual where things like this can be found so I don't have to bother you all the time.

I have uploaded one indicator wich is giving a message when to trade.
There are 2 buffers (0 and 1) and I thought they are the ones to use, so I did set the condition to check if buffer 0 > 0 for a buy and if buffer 1 > 0 for a sell, but it doesn't seem to work.
How are these messages usually treated? And how do I make them work when they are made to give a text message but I want them to be used in my EA.

Now I think I found the problem. When I enter MyIndicators and one indicator is marked, it is replaced by the new one.
I can't unmark the one in that window, so I always need to replace one which is there before to upload a new one.
