I'm having trouble working out how the new point format rules perform.

My broker, Alpari, has a 2 point format for the index US500 (S&P 500), with a spread from 0.75 ticks:
http://www.alpari.co.uk/products/financial-spread-betting/index-spread-betting-specifications

If I place a rule in the point format rules box of
__US500 = 0.1[/quote:32qlor3g]
...the journal says
__TestGenerator: current spread 75 used[/quote:32qlor3g]
...and the screen shows this

I've tried several alternative settings, none of which come close to this, but even this doesn't seem right.

The correct rule, US500 = 0.01, gives a journal report of spread 75, and 75 on the screen.

Where am I going wrong?

Grateful thanks, as always!

Sorry. Didn't mean to confuse you. Anyway, all my sentiments were well meant!

From what I've seen so far, you have loads of energy and new ideas coming through, and on top of that you are happy to include those from the likes of me! So, no, I don't expect you'll ossify!

Old news, then! Sorry!

Hello

I just thought you might like to know that Alpari now seems to be bundling Molanis EA builder with their accounts. Now that I've had a proper look at it, Molanis (at least the version Alpari is bundling) isn't a patch on fxDreema. Anyone who doesn't believe this should just give it a go! I still think fxDreema beats the rest hands down.

So well done, and keep going!

Hey! Cursor back again! Must have been in the re-uploaded local v067. Thanks again.

Yes, sticky problem fixed! Thank you!

Ah! Its the project expiration date! Sorry! The terminology, "The trial version has been expired!" had me confused and thinking it was something internal to fxDreema. Acutally the project expiration date is something I haven't as yet used anyway.

Thanks for the help - as always!

OK. So can I just ignore the error in Meta Editor?

No. Sorry, I don't think I made myself clear. The whole box gets stuck to the mouse! Really the only thing to do is Alt-F4 to kill the app.

What does this mean?
*'-1' - date literal string is incomplete C:\MetaTrader 4\experts\00_00.mq4 (150, 19)
[/list:u:2pbazk6w]

It seems to occur on this line:
*if(TimeCurrent()>D'-1') {Alert ("The trial version has been expired!"); IsTerminated(true);}[/list:u:2pbazk6w]

...and is this something I need to be concerned about?

Er, me again - sorry!

Just spotted minor thing: right click and choose "edit title" over a block, and there is no cursor in the block.

Thanks.

Hi there.

Got a small problem!

*Open the "current project options" box
Right click the right hand window slider
Mouse cursor becomes stuck to it and won't move, forcing the use of Alt-F4 to shut down fxDreema[/list:u:j6syprhs]

Doesn't cause any long term issue, and can be worked around, but is annoying!

Thanks again.

Ah, that must be it. I'm doing this:

So, with parallel processing, presumably if I renumber block to 100, say, then blocks 47 and 50 would run before it, and the problem go away. Is this correct?

When using the in loop close function (local version 066) I'm seeing this in the MT4 journal:
__unknown ticket 44 for OrderClose function[/quote:23mv572a]
What does it mean?

Ah! OK. Thank you. It mostly seems to work OK. In this instance I can probably ignore this error message then, as the next iteration works, and there is always a stop in place.

Thanks again.

Yes. Example here: http://fxdreema.com/shared/rXFzZhDyb

I'm getting this error again in local version 066. I'm using the in loop "modify stops" block to dynamically change a stop loss based on the ATR.

OK. Will do. Thank you!

Hello again

I don't seem to be finding buffers in custom indicators in local v066. See picture. I've attached the indicator also.

Seems OK in local v065:
