OK. I know what you'll say; "You don't need this!" 
But... there was an occasion when it would have been useful to have been able to use "&&" in a custom code block! FxDreema refuses to save the block, with a "wrong data" error. It seems happy with "||", though I haven't tested to see if it actually works.
I asked the query on the http://forum.mql4.com/54522 MT4 forum also. Now I have a custom mql4 block containing:
int total=OrdersTotal();
double v1=0;
SumAllTradesToStopDistances=v1;
for(int pos=0;pos<total;pos++)
{
if(OrderSelect(pos,SELECT_BY_POS)==false) continue;
v1=v1+MathAbs(OrderOpenPrice()-OrderStopLoss());
SumAllTradesToStopDistances=v1;
}
Comment("SumAllTradesToStopDistances is: ",SumAllTradesToStopDistances;
And SumAllTradesToStopDistances set up as a variable to use elsewhere.
This seems to do the trick.
Thank you very much, also.
I'd like to be able to calculate the distance between order open to current stop for all trades running. This would be a constantly changing figure, and would I suppose be within a trade loop, but I can't figure out how to do it in fxDreema, and my programming isn't up to doing it manually!
Anyone have any ideas?
OK. But over 12 or so trade groups, that's quite a lot of individual "Start trades loops" and associated other blocks. That's maybe 8 or so as many blocks in comparison to being able to call a group in the pink blocks.
Just a thought!
Thanks again for the reply.
The pink "(in loop) Modify SL and TP" block doesn't seem to allow me to specify by Group. That's why I'm using the blue "Modify each trade" block. So maybe the pink blocks need a little updating too?
Thanks for the reply.
I would like to use this outside of a trade loop. So am I right in thinking to leave the take profit unchanged at none I simply leave the "new take profit" field in the "modify each trade" block blank?
The "Modify each trade" block seems to allow me to specify a new stop loss and new take profit for all trades running. However, I don't wish to alter the take profit; I wish to leave it at none.
As there is no drop-down arrow with choices, do I achieve this by simply leaving the "new take profit" field blank?
Not sure, but wondering if this is actually a bug.
In my chart shows the spread very prettily, but sadly wrongly. I'm assuming this is an fxDreema feature, but it seems to get the Alpari figures wrong by a factor of 100!
Sorry. I'm back again! I'd be very grateful indeed for some assistance with clearing up my confusion.
1 - Am I right in assuming that what's called "Contract size" in MT4 is what fxDreema calls "Volume size"?
2 - When a broker says the minimum "Contract size" is 1, I can set a lesser figure, say 0.1 in fxDreema. So, if I set in 0.1 in fxDreema, and run a back test the contracts traded are 1 in size. I assume therefore fxDreema is simply saying, "trade at 0.1 or whatever the minimum contract/volume size set by the broker". Is this correct?
I did do a search in the forum for this, but didn't find anything conclusive. But sorry for what is probably a very silly question!
Thanks again.
Not a major issue by any means, but I'm just adding it to your list - hope you don't mind too much! I know your list is probably as long as your arm...
To replicate this behaviour, do this:
1 - Move (click-drag-drop) a block from one place to another on screeen
2 - Copy or cut and paste a different one from one place to another
The first moved block jumps back to its original position.
Like I say, not major, and no data lost - but can be annoying if you have a large number of blocks!
Please don't worry about this. I thought I'd standardise on my usual Linux Centos operating system. I'll just stick with my old boring Windoze!
Incidentally, I do have MT4 running perfectly, and I satisfied all the requirements for fxdreema install, all under Wine for Linux.
Am getting this error message when using the desktop version:
I think it may be a permissions thing. Where is fxdreema making these temporary folders?
Thanks.
I've drawn a blank so far on obtaining good quality free tick data for indices and commodities. Although http://eareview.net/ does suggest GainCapital, it also says its of poor quality.
I wonder if anyone on this forum has experience of commercial tick data, which service they used and liked.
Thanks.
OK. No worries. Just a wee thought!
I'm very happy with fxdreema. You've done - and continue to do - an excellent job. I hope sales are going well - they deserve to be.
I make quite extensive use of the Comments function (Comment on chart (low level)) to check that what I think I'm doing is actually what I am doing! 
However, comments do get lost within the fxdreema trademark. Is there any way I can have an EA not display this? Perhaps you wouldn't be happy to allow this?
Just wondering...
I can't seem to replicate it on demand, but from time to time a block help message will get stuck at the top left of the screen obscuring the "Save", etc., buttons. To remove it, a block has to be opened (right mouse click) and the mouse allowed to hover over a live help area and a new pop-up appears, erasing the stuck one.

block help pop-up stuck.jpg
I have a "feature" to remove! 
If a block has been double clicked to disable (it has a red border), and one is editing text in a "Custom MQL4 Code" block and hits the "Delete" key, the the text to be deleted goes, and so does the double clicked disabled block!
Most frustrating!
Hi
Sorry. My fault for doing 2 successive posts! But this one was just before the one about the variables and constants thing:
__".lastloaded.fxdb" contains the text:
__mt5-6335[/quote:1jos3i3w]
The folder "C:\Program Files\FxDreema\Data\fxDreema\experts\mt5-6335" does exist.
It is installed in c:\program files, but since I'm logged in with full admin privileges, and Windows says I'm the "owner", that shouldn't be an issue. It doesn't seem to be locked.[/quote:1jos3i3w]
As always, many thanks.
