hi

this "+Symbol()+" does not return the symbol when I try in the variable set as a string?

it just comes as text

should the variable be something else?

If I want to make an EA which is checking the strength of different currencies, how can I meassure them. Since they are connected in pairs I'm not sure.
Should I compare the overbought/oversold in different pairs to see which one is stronger?
Any ideas?

My idea is to see if eg the USD is stronger compared to other pairs. And if EUR is weaker. Then that pair would be a nice trade.
Is this possible to make with the standard indicators when making an EA? I know there are a lot of indicators showing correlation in lines and that way it's easier to see what currency is on it's way down and which one is on it's way up. But it would be nice to make this in an EA.

Just checking if someone out here have any ideas what to start with.

The problem is that the default button is more like a switch, so I added small custom code to "depress" is automatically. As a result, now it looks like rectangle with text 🙂

It's most probably possible, but I don't fully understand the question 🙂

Dropdowns are not supported in fxDreema. Yes, in MQL you can define custom... dropdowns. Enumerations, this is how actually they call them. But this is currently not available from fxDreema. But you can use all predefined enumeration, for example ENUM_MA_METHOD. To do that write ENUM_MA_METHOD for data type (instead of int)

It depends. Take a look at this example - https://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-loop-trailing-stop It works as a trailing stop and is not exactly what you want, but it shows how to work with these pink blocks. Also, in between those pink blocks you can also use Condition. Inside Condition there is some pink category, something like (in loop)....

It would be complicated under "on Tick", because you probably need to monitor how many trades there are at any moment, to decide when some of them is closed. But if you work under "on Trade", this is already done, so this is what I will suggest https://fxdreema.com/examples/#Events

Search for iCustom in the code and look in it's attributes. Also look in the logs, there must be something there - indicator not found, indicator loaded, or something like that.

I don't remember seeing such thing in MQL4 😕

Open this page - https://fxdreema.com/examples/ Click Ctrl+F In the small field that opened start writing the word crossover Any modern browser will scroll the page where the first results are. It looks exactly like this - http://prntscr.com/a50skr Check those two examples.

This is what MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_TICKVALUE)) stands for. It is only described as Tick value in the deposit currency.

https://docs.mql4.com/constants/environ ... oconstants

I don't know how this is calculated exactly, but you can try to see what value it holds. I think that if your deposit currency is USD, then all */USD will give you the value of 1. And the value is different when currencies are crossed. If I am not wrong, this is the value of 1 pip for the currency you are in, measured in the deposit currency. Or maybe you ask for somethin something else.

If you ask for how much profit/loss will happen if we have 0.1 lot trade and the price moves with 1 pip, then this is easy calculation when yu are in EURUSD with USD as deposit currency. But in other cases I think MODE_TICKVALUE should be used. But I can admit that I am really, really bad in mathematics and I have hard times thinking for such otherwise simple calculations. So I'm only giving ideas 🙂

These long numbers again... No, I didn't added this to Formula, obviously.

https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/basis/function/events - "The OnCalculate() function is called only in custom indicators"

It depends. If you want to deal with each trade individually, then put SL, use Trailing stop or do something with "For each Trade". If we are talking for a group of trades, then "Check current unrealized profit -> Close trades" or check the global equity/balance/profit of the account (in "Condition - Account") and then a"Close trades".

__Or should I take the profit and then open a new trade after that block?[/quote:2bm0909v]

I'm not sure what is the difference in terms of spread and commissions. Maybe in this way you will generate more losses, but I'm absolutely not sure about this. Maybe both ways are equal.

I think this one works better, I tested the first one that I posted it here, it didn't work that good during the high impact news with the candle moving up and down very fast, EA will execute trades over and over and at the same time close it over and over...

this one works perfect

I think I fixed it now. Only there is some weird problem in IE and I don't recommend using it 🙂

Not for amount of time, but with expiration time - look at the options http://prntscr.com/8ydwuh

Actually yes, but I guess this particular information is not very visible. It's here, the very last words at the bottom: https://fxdreema.com/help/-/you%20shoul ... indicators
But I also recommended this "Indicator tester" block multiple times, and this block can tell you what the buffer values are in realtime. And if you test it in Visual mode" you will also be able to see where and when the arrows appear. Sometimes they also disappear or reappear somewhere else.

I think I got the problem in Firefox, so I will fix it now

Where can I find that?
What I would like is to have something checking the current spread.
Only trade if the spread is less than 1 or something like that. Is it possible?
The spread is moving during day and night and I want to find a way to only trade when the spread is low enough.
