ok thank you

my EA bases lot size from account balance, and as such I need a way to check profit over a period of time that scales with the account size. measuring in account percentage would be ideal. pips would work, but would be crude. compounded percentage would work best.

thanks

I am running the EA on a MT5 hedge account. for some reason when the EA reloads (terminal restart, EA reload) this block opens a position (see attachment) I know for sure its the "close less profitable position" block because I turned off, then on every block until the odd position no longer was opened during reload. Is this a bug? or is this block supposed to do this?

When I place more then one Formula block in my EA (in this case 4) and use multiple variables (in this case 4) to complete a multi steep math function, the variables are are randomly changed when I click update. ie i put formula 1 into variable 1 and hit update. Then when I open formula 1 again it shows the result being put into variable 2. this happens to all the formula blocks with the variable being changed to seeming random.

Hello,
I was wondering if it would be possible to modify the "once per bar" block in the mql5 side of Fxdreema so that there is an option for it to only pass at the opening of the bar?
The problem I'm having is if the terminal is restarted before the next block is created, I get a duplicate trade because the "once per bar" block passes again (once at the creation of the block, and again whenever the terminal is restarted).
I'm pretty sure I can do what I want with multiple time filters. But that would further complicate an already complex EA.

thank you

I built an expert that uses BUY NOW, SELL NOW blocks. So far the expert appears to work fine on common pairs such as, EURUSD, USDJPY etc. But on CFD's and as of right now one exotic EURZAR I get the error "OrderCheck() failed: Unsupported filling mode (10030)"
I am running the expert on an MT5 hedged account. Any help would be appreciated.

I am working on an EA in MT5. I need to get the Long or short count for a specific group # and market in the formula block. There does not seem to be a way to do this. any suggestions?

James

ok thank you

Ok i understand what your saying. But the thing i noticed is that when i use a standard indicator like RSI instead of a custom one, the EA opens a combination of buys and sells according to the signal for each chart????? It may be triggered by the tics from EURUSD but it looks like its reading the RSI signal from whichever chart it is cycling through and opening orders according to that charts signal.

I just sent an email to support@fxdreema.com with the subject "mt5 condition block (custom indicator) issue". It has the 3 screen shots

Hello,
The issue i'm having has to do with the use of the "condition" block and custom indicator in conjunction with the "set current market" block. The custom indicator will only load onto one chart during testing and as a result when trades are opened for other currency pairs, the direction (buy/sell) signal from the one chart with the custom indicator loaded is used. Resulting in either all buys or all sells.
In the screen shots there are two condition blocks that use RSI. They are there because without them, only the one chart with the custom indicator will load. however if I disconnect the custom indicator condition blocks and connect the RSI condition blocks then everything works as it should.
Also this ea was built with the online builder. The desktop ea builder does not work at all for mt5 ea's, the tester freezes when trying to test a ea built with the desktop ea builder.

I tryed attaching a few screen shots, but I get an error message saying that the "board attachment quota has been reached"

Any ideas? thank you for your help.

oh i see ok, thank you

so there is no way to distinguish between the 2 colors using buffers?

I have a mql5 HMA indicator I'm trying to use in an EA, the problem I am having is the buffers don't seem to be separately defined. FXDreema picked up on 2 buffers but the Logic points tester shows that neither of the 2 turn on/off when the color changes. any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I have a custom indicator that i'm trying to use in an EA that I don't have the source code to (.EX5). I think the issue i'm having is properly defining the input parameters, I have no problems doing this in MT4 but this is my first attempt at creating one in MT5 and it has dropdown menu options for 3 of the inputs. I have tried many different things but usually the result is error 4002 when testing, changing the data type (int, string), changing the input from how it is named in the indicator to Standard Constants (Typical price, PRICE_TYPICAL).
I will upload screen shots for reference.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I am getting complaints from my broker because of the number of pending orders my Grid EA is placing. 97% of the time the majority of these orders go unfilled and end up getting deleted when TP is reached, but I have to have them all to insure my account does stop out for the other 3% of the time.
Is there any way to create Buy/Sell pending orders in grid blocks that place "Virtual pending orders" that are placed when the price reaches that point?

Thank you for your time
James

I am trying to use the attached indicator to open a buy trade when the line is Green, and open a sell trade when the line is blue using the "indicator Appears" block.
The problem is I cant seem to find the correct Output buffers to triger the opening of the buy and sell trades. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to size my lots as fallows. Increase lot size by 0.01 for every $1000 of account balance. I can't seem to figure out how to do this with the available options in buy now/sell now?

ok thank you
