I can confirm there is a bug in the "Project Options" tab, specifically when you try to modify point format rules. I tried it with GBPJPY by using in my FXCM MT4 platform. According to the value by default, 0.001 = 0.01. Well, I tried it equals 0.1 and 1.0 but nothing changed.
For some reason I don't know the point format rules just work for some cases and not for others.
Unfortunately it cannot be backtested as designed to be used. I want to run the EA on different charts simultaneously so it cannot be backtested. It can when tested on single charts, but as I showed in my thread of the first message, then it works well. For some reason I don't understand, the combination of more than one chart makes it go crazy.
On the other hand the variable in block 3 is always initialized as 0. It is reinitialized as 0 once the target pip or the time period have been reached, whatever happens first. As you can see in this picture, it is correctly counting those pips belonging to the open trades:

But it works well just because there is this single chart. Problem arises when different ones are combined.
I tried it by using terminal variables, but the bug persists.
Interesting. I'll try it.
Thank you.
I am building an EA designed to close all open trades when any of the following conditions are met:
Whatever happens first must close all open trades and no new orders must be open until next week. This is what I have so far:

A problem rises when the indicators conditions are activated before the end of Friday's session. How can I skip all remaining time this week until next Monday? I'm not used to using time filter blocks and I'm stuck now.
Thank you in advance.
I found a bug when customizing some project options. Pip counting is wrong when combining different charts. All details can be seen at this thread:
Have taken a look at the "Project Options" of your EA? There you can choose/change the magic number. Choose a new one and try it again.
Hope it helps.
The test of my example was made with manual trades, so I put 0 as a magic number in the EA in this case. On the other hand, when I use other EAs to open trades, yes, I use the same magic number for all of them and in this one.
It is the same exact EA in all of them! The blocks are those shown at the first image in my previous message.
Hi again Miro. I found a problem with the project options and I would like to ask for your help (again) if possible. 
I found the correct combinations for point format rules. The EA works perfect on each chart individually but it fails when combined. Let me explain. These are my initial rules:
As you can see I added gold and two indexes. Let's begin with any forex chart. This is what I get:
Just forget the closed pips. We can check that the open trade is correctly counted in pips. Now the same with gold:
Once again, it is correct. And now let's test it with DAX:
All is ok so far. The problem comes now when I put the EA in a fourth chart in order to calculate all open pips from the three previous charts simultaneously:
Where do those numbers come from? it doesn't even resemble a pip counter! Suddenly there are more than 15000 pips open right now!! :O. For some reason I don't understand, I cannot combine several charts at the same time.
Could you please give me any hint?
Once again, thank you very much in advance.
No, I didn't. I think this is exactly what I'm looking for. Once again, thank you very much.
Dear Miro,
I can finally confirm that your block structure works perfectly. You're a great programmer! Now I would like to add an additional layer of complexity to the EA and I would appreciate your suggestions again.
Due to my broker's MT4 platfom, different charts use different pip counting. For example, if I want to get 20 pips from a Forex chart, I need to put a 200 in the EA. The problem comes when I want to combine Forex, metals and indexes, as all use different counting systems. In my example, 20 pips mean that I should put a 2000 in gold and 20000 in Dax, for example.
This means that I need a way to translate different pip counts to a single one in order to specify a single target i the EA. What hints could you offer me?
Thank you very much in advance.
I compiled it with metaeditor and four errors are detected. The problem is that I don't know what they mean because I'm not a programmer :(. Here they are:
'Bars' and 'Volume' are in effect variables I created to change them at will. I don't understand what's the problem. Any hint, please?
I tried it with up to four different MT4 platforms and it doesn't work. Could someone please just check it doesn't happen to me only? I would appreciate any member of this forum offering some help. 
Thank you very much in advance
The problem persists. I tried it at different MT4 platforms but to no avail. This is very weird. All my other EAs work perfectly when downloaded as a mq4 file. This is the only one that doesn't.
Any suggestion? 
@fxdreema said in Question about "Impulse up/down" block:
This gray circle means that there is no .mq4 file. You can download the .mq4 file and it will become yellow, but this will not change anything about the EA
I downloaded it as a mq4 file. I tried it again to be sure, but it's still grey :(. I have other EAs, and all are shown correctly in yellow. I can't see why this is happening to this EA only.
Ok. I tried my first EA using those blocks: please, click here
But I found an unexpected problem. I don't know why, but I canoot run the EA on my MT4!! :(. It is depeicted with a grey circle at my EA's list whereas all my other installed ones are depicted in yellow colour. This is the first time this happens to me by using FxDreema.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ok. This is a new structure based on your suggestion.
It almost works as I need. I just need a final additional feature. How can I create a variable for that buffer info? The EA now opens a trade immediately after the new colour appears. That's what I want, but I also need that if other conditions from other indicators are met AND the colour (i.e. the buffer info) is the one I'm looking for, a new trade is open. I'm thinking of adding that info to a variable, but I don't see how can I "catch" it.
Any suggestion?
@timmyhanke said in Quick question about custom indicators:
Superprofit is one of ''Carl Dittmans '' scams , its repainting a couple of bars back , and thats why you have problems with it , because of past values
I know it repaints, but if combined with other solid indicators is a good way to show the trend. Obviously I would never create an EA based on it only.
Sure, no problem. It's called "superprofit". I can send you a copy if you let me know how to upload it.
