The other nesessary condition for the MT4 licensed indicator to work correcly during the testing and trading, is to actually have it loaded on the chart.

For instance: if you need to test the EA that use such indicator with MT4 strategy tester, you need to save it to the tester default template first. Just save your regular template while having your indicator loaded on the chart and replace the default tester.tpl template upon the template saving in this directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\MetaTrader 4\templates keeping the template name "tester.tpl" the same.

If you not sure what datatype each parameter in your .ex4 indicator represents, then keep this table:

MT4 ICON = DATA TYPE
123 = int
1\2 = doulbe
AB = string (put Value in quoting)
Orange Rectangle = color

And to top it off, for all the lazy folks there, like me) an additional valuable contribution to this EX4 custom indicator short uploading guide: if u do not wanna mess with parameter names, just save your custom indicator settings as a preset .set file to this C:\Program Files (x86)\MetaTrader 4\MQL4\Presets location. Then, upon the indicator uploading, open that .set file with a Notepad (Right clcik->Open with) application and copy all the parameter names and values to your fxdreema replication as seen on the screen below.

Roar, you r magician! It worked, man! I've just edited int datatype to string .mq4 file fields manually via MT4 editor, and it compiled it with no errors and warnings!

Roar rules! Thank you!

Maybe it was a temporary bug or something, but the day before I already had the correct string datatype and correct value entered in fxdreema prior to compilation, yet it kept failing to compile correctly, putting int instead of string, as you've noticed. Now fxdreema compiles it correctly, though.

@miro1360 , @roar , if you guys are here, would you enlight us with your valuable expertise, please?

Hello guys! I think my question will add to the value here. I try to add to "My indicators" EX4 custom indicator with STRING value and it gives "implicit conversion from 'string' to 'number" error on the compilation.

The parameter value is an indicator licence key and it comprised of letters and digits. The problem is the Metatrader tries to convert the whole key to digits only for some reason, so what I get after the compilation is done is "0" in the value field instead of the complete licence code!

Here is the project: https://fxdreema.com/shared/CKrrO9yXd

Does anyone know a workaround for this type of values and how to compile it correctly?

Thank you!

Hey folks, just wanted to contribute on the 4108 MT4 order close / invalid ticket error. After literally 100+ tests and a couple of sleepless nights couldnt find any solution on this forum but after googling the issue I finally grasped the general impression on whats causing this fault.

Heres a FF coder explanation on the issue : https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=511029

Without goin deep in details, heres, HOW YOU SHOULD NEVER DO, when putting "For each trade"/"For each pending order" and the rest of the pink extention blocks :

and heres, THE CORRECT ORDER:

During my FXDreema learning curve, Ive found, that if you not getting the behaviour you expect from your EA, check if the sequence of the logic blocks is correct first. Always make sure, those pinky extention blocks are DIRECTLY connected to the Parental "For each trade"/"For each pending order" block and no other block part them inbetween.

Hope, this will save time and effort for new guys over here

For those who havent noticed where my second condition from Stage 2 has gone:

• While I was on the search for the alternative solutions of the WAIT function for more then one conditions, I've stumbled upon a third party manual on "HOW TO ASSEMBLE A CUSTOM MQ4 INDICATOR" so I gave it a try. So what I got was basically I wraped my two conditions from several custom indicators in one single Arrow which you can observe now as a block#4 that become the only condition based on resulted Arrow.

• Since Im member here, I will respect the FXDreema Creators, and will not post any third-party links, but for those who want to find out how to create custom mq4 indicators based on var. conditions/var. custom indies, pls pm me

This will be my small contribution to the Dreema community)

@trader-philipps no, I've forgot. Will do that right away. Thank you!

Guys, happy NY! I perfectly nailed it without variables with this tutorial http://fxdreema.com/forum/topic/4664/flags on FLAGS. It was easier then i thought and it worked like a charm! I basically, Set the Flag to look for random amount of bars back on my Higher TF for my First Stage condition and that helped!

https://fxdreema.com/shared/NBKjHEZmb

..Looks like I wont avoid those variables..)

Dear @roar and @l-andorrà, happy NY and thank you both for the attention to this post!

If not a big deal, could you pls, point me out at the tutorials to start to learn the variables, as of now, I do not even understand their nature. Thank you guys!

@l-andorrà said in AND command block:

Sorry, I forgot that 'wait to pass' feature. Why do you exactly need it?

"Wait to pass" feature or any relevant functional alternative within FXDreema toolkit might have, acts as a confirmation for the signal from the higher TF. Since the signal from the higher TF doesnt mean the instant trade open, but only implies the potencial entry, we need a sort of the confirmation on the lower TF. The confirmation usually take some time to arrive as it doesnt happen same time with the higher TF signal. Therefore, we need this "Wait to pass" feature applied to all the indicators used for the confrimation stage.

Only in this hard to crack case this confirmation comes from two or more indicators.

Generally, the whole purpose of this topic is to find an answer how you can combine such postponed confirmation including more than two indicators. For instance, to be able to confirm the major higher TF signal after an indefinite period of time in future, by signals from 3 or even 4 indicators on the lower TFs

@l-andorrà dear friend, this simple setup comprised of 3 stages only:

Stage 1: - block 2 appear at least once on M15
Stage 2: - wait untill the block 3 and 5 to pass simultaneously on M5 at any given candle
Stage 3: - trade

https://fxdreema.com/shared/CVFT3HA9e

Im convinced: many Fxdreemers looking for a simple solution to easily construct similar setups where it is possible to apply "wait to pass" function to the "n" number of conditions. Question is how exactly to do that?

https://fxdreema.com/shared/aEwgeVwmd If this kinda what you mean...but it doesnt work(

@l-andorrà said in AND command block:

e
Hello mr @l-andorrà ! You are that expert guy that help newbies like us) Merry Christmas!

I wish knew what you mean, but it sounds logical. To copy the whole structure leaving only the sell block? Im confused a bit. If it isn't difficult, could you be so kind to show an example?

In this instance: https://fxdreema.com/shared/G5eH3IP1e AND does not behave as it suppose to, because we need to apply the "Wait to pass" function to both blocks, NRTR AND Keltner. Question is how to do that?

@roar said in AND command block:

@geofx said in AND command block:

• block 2 appear once
• wait for the block 3 to pass
• !whilst! block 3(NRTR) is visible per each candle, wait for the block 5(Keltner price cross) to happen at least once
• trade

So in a nutshell, block 2 acts as a "trigger", and after the trigger has activated, the NRTR and keltner should pass simultaneously to open trade?

That is totally correct. NRTR and Keltner should pass simultaneously. but only after the block 2 appear once. The question is how to do that using generic approach and more simple tools provided here in FxDreema, without going into complex stuff.

As per variables: sounds like advanced math to me..) Im really trying to keep things as simpe as possible in my project. Certainly, learning the variables is thing from my "to do next" list. As of now, I still try to get used with more generic tools and commands.

Does anyone know how to do that using the simple commands like AND/OR etc?

"Every n bars" set to 1 bar doesnt help either https://fxdreema.com/shared/V2OxEm0Dc

Now it works like: NRTR appeared/was once visible, but not any more and then Keltner cross happens and trade goes off. This is wrong sequence.

What is needed is: Keltner cross can pass only !while! NRTR is visible

Re: AND coomand block

Here is my thought process: here https://fxdreema.com/shared/lnPjj8b7c I've tried to add a "Once per bar" option, for the blocks with the NRTR and Keltner Channel, but is seems it is not bringing any change...

Just to show you my thought process
