Thanks. I think this will do for now

@l-andorrà
I can do [ if balance => 500 ] then blah. What I can't get my head around is doing the increments based on each additional 500

I know martingale is frowned on but I'm creating a money management system based on this idea.
I want to set a volume upper limit based on the size of my account so for example for 500 equity I want volume upper limit to be 0.16 but once the account grows to 1000 I want that incremented. So my volume upper limit is based on a specific account size.
@roar This is should be a fun one for you.

Cool
@roar Any ideas on how we achieve this? I thought this was a very simple one.

I want to be able to look back and have a condition that can check if for e.g the hourly candle at 10:00 closed bear or bull.

@l-andorrà
I have fixed the issue however I noticed during the backtests that after the trading stopped I noticed the equity curve still going down. Is that a back test error?

@l-andorrà
I do have a time limit filter for the London trading times. Is that what is interfering ?

@roar
I was wondering what I've got wrong with this circuit breaker code that you helped with. When I test it it doesn't seem to stop trading. The circuitbreaker constant is a double(0.9). This is in the tick block.
Is there something I'm missing

I want to be able to go to breakeven but inch up just a little so that any slippage/spread is covered?

@roar

I'm trying to get the massive tutorial template to work in mql5. It seems this bit of code is not compatible with mql5

vdSwapSell=NormalizeDouble(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_SWAPSHORT),3);
vdSwapBuy=NormalizeDouble(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_SWAPLONG),3);

I get these errors. I suspect they are expressed differently in MT5

')' - open parenthesis expected
'MarketInfo' - undeclared identifier
'MODE_SWAPSHORT' - undeclared identifier
'MODE_SWAPSHORT' - some operator expected
'Symbol' - some operator expected
'3' - unexpected token
'MarketInfo' - undeclared identifier
'MODE_SWAPLONG' - undeclared identifier
'MODE_SWAPLONG' - some operator expected
'Symbol' - some operator expected
'3' - unexpected token

@l-andorrà It's drawing lines without fail but still not opening trades.

OOps ...I rthink fxdreema puts you in the same place even when you start a new project.
Thanks

@l-andorrà
How do I combine them. A sort of crossover between the 2?

Re: How can I make a condition with range break

@l-andorrà
I tried using this example and the lines are drawn but when price breaks through the line the EA isn't buying or vice-versa. I have converted it to MT5 but I didn't think that should stop it.

What is the best/effective way to avoid a market that is not trending. I wnat to know how some of you have solved that problem when using fxdreema. Do you employ indicators or is there some more effective price action tactic to allow the EA to pause until the trend begins. I'm sure it's not simple but I'll still like to hear.

Also in an old post @fxDreema mentions that virtual stops are not supported for MT5 I suppose it's not the case because it worked for me. He also mentions that emergency stops are placed some distance away from the virtual stops. The reason why virtual stops are attractive is merely to hide from bad brokers trying to stop you out. If emergency stops are used will the broker only see them once the trgger condition has activated them?

@l-andorrà
The documentation says it's used to protect trades in case of issues with internet connections and trading platforms. But it will be good if @fxDreema could give us some more information on the conditions that creates the emergency stop trigger.
Essentially you use the virtual stops to hide your real stops and then use the emergency stop as a backup. An excellent idea indeed but I'll be more comfortable if I know what triggers it.

@l-andorrà Great explantion. What is the trigger? I mean how does the EA know when it needs to be triggered?
