Is how to work out if ZigZag, is on the way up or down, without having to use custom code.

Re: ATR value to Pips - Tutorial

Have just been looking at using ATR values for stop loss after using the above topic for information, I have worked out how to accomplish saving ATR pips into a variable for all broker symbols, the following link contains all but it is set up for a broker that has 5 zeros after the decimal for most forex pairs.

MT4 ATR pips
MT5 ATR pips

Hope people find this useful.

Recently I have seen many people asking how to have the EA to remember the values that were used before.

This link will show how to achieve this, this is for constants, but a variable can be stored in the same way, and MT5 is the same:

might not work as needed, see below

I had a thought that in a crash this might not work, so I added variables and set them to amend oninit

@l-andorrà Thank you, this loop is very important to me, it will allow the EA to confirm whether pair is in a place of continuation of structure or needs break of structure, confirm whether the fibo lines up with entrance candle and so the TP is in the correct place.

I take it there is no chance of fxdreema inserting another block for loop with ID?
If I knew how to code I could probably create, I cant, I have someone that can create custom indicators so could probably handle this but he has no idea of how to start.

Have been trying to print arrows using Heiken Ashi, couldn't get to work correctly, one off the values is different to the data window value, in this project I have used iCustom to get it to work: https://fxdreema.com/shared/Mnapg7Mje

@6ixpappi Use this in MT4 or MT5, it works on all assets. https://fxdreema.com/shared/bUCD0mdBb

@l-andorrà Although this is a good question when time frames are selected using the enum method the EA can optimise all, I have never used the number method except for start/finish time but if you use this as custom code I think it would work:

if((Ma_Method = 1) {Value = "MODE_SMA";}
if((Ma_Method = 2) {Value = "MODE_SMMA";}
if((Ma_Method = 3) {Value = "MODE_EMA";}
if((Ma_Method = 4) {Value = "MODE_LWMA";}

Linked below is button projects that don't use custom code, unfortunately edit fields don't work on MT5 back test, the buttons do and all works on demo/live.

There are other buttons that do nothing in this project but, they are there so a true/false bool condition can be put in a standard buy/sell tree, to start/stop trading from pressing a button.

MT4: MT4 PROJECT

MT5 (edit fields don't work on back test): MT5 PROJECT

I do agree with this, times are constantly changing so FX should move with them. I will also add this:

Custom Indicator Integration: (This can be done already)
Strategy Optimizer: (I would say MetaTrader already does this)
Backtesting Improvements: (I would say MetaTrader already does this/should worry about this)
User-Friendly Interface: (This is a personal preference, the more you use FX the more you know it)
Advanced Money Management: (A lot is already here, but improvements would help)
Multiple Timeframe Analysis: (I would say MetaTrader already does this/should worry about this)
Improved Documentation: (Yes this would help, but has always been like this)
Custom Alerts: (This can already be done)
Debugging Tools: (More information could be good when things are wrong, but the more you use the less this is necessary)
Community Sharing: Easier ways to share and collaborate on projects within the user community. (The community does share (more could be better) but people don't always want to read and just want solutions provided)
Better Mobile Compatibility: (This has more to do with MetaTrader, anything done on PC can be watched on mobile)
Integration with Other Platforms: Support for platforms beyond MT4 and MT5. (This would mean a completely different platform/options to choose type, which might be good but distracts from MetaTrader)
Template System: A more flexible template system for quickly applying common strategies. (this would be good)
Visual Enhancements: Requests for improved graphical elements and node organization. (Not sure what improvements you think would be good)
Conditional Blocks: More versatile conditional logic blocks. (Current is solely logic, but other options inside would be handy)
Licensing Options: More flexible licensing and subscription options. (Don't know but if people need this but it would be good)
Performance Metrics: Detailed performance metrics for strategies. (This site is not here to give people strategies, it is here so people can use their own)
Grid and Martingale Systems: More advanced options for grid and Martingale trading systems. (Martingale is a bad idea, other options would help but they can be created using current blocks)
API Access: API access for more advanced users. (this can be done, especially with things like emails, it would be good for other platforms)
Improved Export Options: Enhanced options for exporting projects to different formats. (again though this is for MetaTrader)
User Support: Better and more responsive customer support. (This would be good)
Platform Stability: General improvements to platform stability and reliability. (I think this is stable, but as above quick response times would be good)
Community Plugins: Ability for users to create and share plugins. (what plugins?)
Advanced Charting: More advanced charting tools and features. (not sure what you mean)
Trade Copying: Tools for copying trades from one account to another. (this could be good but is a lot of work and this software is available elsewhere)
Scalping Tools: Specialized tools for scalping strategies. (don't know what you mean, scalping strategies can be created)
News and Events Integration: Integrating economic news and events into trading strategies. (this would be good, single blocks that can be added to avoid news)
Data Import/Export: Easier import/export of historical data. (this can be done already, is how you collect the data)
Enhanced Strategy Testing: More options and parameters for strategy testing. (this is a MetaTrader enhancement)
Multilingual Support: Full support for multiple languages within the platform. (I don't need this, but if others do it would be good)

The following links are how to create a candle countdown timer, MT4 & MT5, will display next to the current candle, and then switch to seconds in the last minute. All done on tick.

I have now changed the links to a, slightly slimed down better working version... MT4 & MT5

MT4: https://fxdreema.com/shared/aEGxLw31b

MT5: https://fxdreema.com/shared/GadTG3i5b

To draw a line on the cross you can do this: https://fxdreema.com/shared/VQVkfqQcc

You could so if "this" happens set a flag so "that" happens... probably easier to use the on trade tab... trade closed check why... do "that"... if you say what you want to happen I will tell you the blocks to use.

No that complicated but the only way to know is to set up a project and test things on backtest/demo.

As I said do this on the on trade tab, this way things will only change at trade open time, then use a for each block to select only the trade(s) you want to change

Glad it's working, what I put was to not change any other than the one you want. For example, you can u use newest to oldest but miss 1 so you select 2, and place the SL at 1 SL, thus leaving a cascading effect where every new trade moves the SL up so they are all on the same level.

on trade tab... trade opened... for each trade/order... modify stop... move the last opened SL where you want it. In the for each trade/order blocks you can select each by missing trades you don't want to change

I agree it is different, the used logic is more, but on FX which is why it is good is not different: missing a SL MT4 or MT5 works the same.

Any calculations that say depending on Sl only work is a SL is set.

Yes it is but it depends where you mean.

Interesting, a hard reset must change the folder value. Previously I use this and it works, a computer though is not a battery backed up laptop, so this may be what saves the value from being deleted.
