@fxbam Put check trades count above your buy/sell put the required settings inside and it will limit your trades, I use it all the time.

@fxbam said in Can multiple Buys and Sells be open at the same time?:

I've noticed anytime I try to build an EA the strategy tester shows me that it only opens 1 buy and ignores any other opportunities until that trade is closed, and the same issue for sells. I see others have asked for help about this subject before in the past but I didn't see a clear answer to it. Is there a way to enter a buy and enter another buy later even though the first trade has closed, and the same for sells?

If you want to add trades, dont use a blue block unless you want to limit the # of trades .
If you want to accept as many trades as possible per the conditions, just keep it under a "once per bar" green block,.

@tipsywisdom He can still that that condition blocks, but not there certainly. Additionally, he should select 'as price fraction' option on the right operand itself.

while that may be true, hes logically just doing a distance check. Theres a block for that. Keep it simple! Nothing to troubleshoot after that,

I think some of the issues have been figured out. In the Mt4 tester, the optimization button was checked which seems to hide the chart and a few other things. The replay feature doesn't seem to work with every pair and the chart seems to lock up with those ones, but it will still give me data on the open and closed positions. I have noticed that the EA isn't trading exactly the way I want it to. It has missed lots of trading opportunities and taken other ones I wouldn't have. I guess my next goal is to figure out if I can get the EA to do what I want. I still may test this version on a chart. I'm just happy that I actually see something working.

@fxbam This request has beed issed so many times in the past that I simply can't remember. Sadly, the admin is not specially motivated to do it, I'm afraid.
