@jstap ok, I have researched it a million times but maybe fail to realize. Let’s start here. Please explain the trailing stop and step and start to fxdreema wise. So I take from what you said. The initial stop-loss does not matter. This is great because now I know I can still have a stop less in case of the event my trade opens and a reversal happens. Check mark. So clearly I do not understand how to program this into fxdreema. I read a reply you made in a post years ago explaining to make the stops loss the same amount of pips as the ️trailing stop-loss. To no avail. If you can run my ea you’ll see the stop loss does exist on chart, But does not follow the input parameters I have set. It is wayyyy to far behind but that’s ok. It’s set as a regular stop loss. Issue arrives when it does move it follows the amount of pips and everything but does not bring itself behind the point(pips) have started making profit. It just stays like 100+ pips away but moves along with the profit. Not where it should be so ultimately it kills the whole strategy. I can’t even see how successful my ea really is if I can not master this.

@jstap did you get a chance to see my input parameters?

@jstap https://fxdreema.com/shared/TE6vUH0Eb please if you can run it through the tester you'll notice how far back the stop loss is from what i am aiming for which is a stop loss of 15 that moves every 10 pips in profit.

@jstap I will in about 6-7 hours. I have 2 different projects needing this let me find which one you can strategy test so you can actually see what I mean.

@jstap I have tried to make a trailing stop but have been unsuccessful, I’ve tried using constants for trail stop, step and start to no avail. I tried the trail stop block. No avail. Am I wrong for having the take profit and stop loss activated in both the buy and sell blocks? Do I need to turn those off in both blocks? Is the trailing stop block supposed to activate by itself and there’s no need to have take profit or stop loss activated in any other blocks such as modify?

@jstap also in my input parameters straining start mode has “none” as a value.

Should I turn of fixed stop loss and take profit in buy and seek blocks in order for this to work properly I tired this but saw no effect.

@jstap is this in the blue trailing stop block?

I’m trying to make a Trailing stop loss that starts after pips are in profit, I’ve tried many combinations but so far to no avail.

@l-andorrà can you explain in depth please?

The point is to secure pips. I see a lot of trades my ea takes start off as winners but fail to reach my take profit and my stop loss is set to trail but is ineffective in the long run. It’s good for less loss but I’m trying to secure pips. So I figure having a trailing take profit that adjust as I move towards it is another way to even the odds. Making sure I secure some pips if not the max of what I intended. See what I mean?

@sktsec yes I have tried that but it is not what I am looking for. What I want is for the take profit to move towards my open position as I gain pips towards take profit.

Would there possibly be a way to make a trailing stop that trails the take profit? Example -> As the trade goes towards the designated take profit level the take profit stop will come towards the winning candle and close the trade once reached.

@jstap what I’ll do is go through the blocks again. I’ll remove some of the 1 minute blocks and see if changing some candle values can help. I’m thinking I’ll make this ea study more of past history from earlier in that day so it can filter the incoming information. I think my process is held up there. The other section is the trailing stop and loss as for some reason I get it to work but my stop loss and take price are not what I set and often tripled if not doubled what I wanted. I’ll sit down and break this into pieces please keep your ears and eyes open for me, if possible can I message you privately?

@jstap ok well if you can help me with the trail stop loss and take profit that’d be amazing, I’m not sure if it something I use on tick or if I need to switch to on trade and program the logic there?

@jstap ok for starters any tips regarding a better way to set up the cci to trigger the buy condition like intended it doing it backwards.

@jstap https://fxdreema.com/shared/ZXqufejed is this right?

sorry for any typos!

hello, here i have a ea composed of this simple idea. i want a ea that uses the cci indicator, the Bollinger bands indicator and last the awesome oscillator. im using all 3 is entry conditions for the ea to make a trade. when the cci cross above 300 i want the ea to consider a sell when the cci cross below -300 i want the ea to make a buy, problem is the ea does not consider crossing below for the way i have he cci current only once it goes below -300 but at that point i have to have it se to crosses above because it does not register in on the first cross over. next i wanted to a confirmation method to be used with the Bollinger bands and awesome oscillator. for both i need them to look back atleast 12 to 48 candles. i have a set Bollinger bands to a period of 10 , a shift of 0 and a deviation of 1.000. the goal is for the ea to judge bullish and bearish activity by the bands either crossing above the envelope and candle (bullish) or below the envelope and candles (Bearish) , this information is to be then back by the last condition of the awesome oscillator to judge the current bullish and bearish momentum so that the ea does not enter in a weak trend. m almost certain i was unable to correctly input thi information correctly for the awesome oscialtor idea to work as its also based of the red and green colors of the oscialator and im not sure what my ea is usng besides candles and possibly negative and positive numbers as a mean to judge what is bull ad what is bear. i need the ea to fully recognize the indicator for its intended purpose. i have a file below please have a look!
