Hi Folks
Is it possible to monitor trades placed by another EA using their magic number and perhaps open a trade after that one closes one at a loss?
If EA(magic num 111) closes a trade in profit, open another trade with the same currency in the opposite direction.
thanks

Thanks

But how do I deal with things like the single candle template?
Like this.
I want to be able to have all the upperwick and lowerwick modes available as options in the EA.

@roar
excellent... thanks

@roar
Thanks but where do we go to find all these wonderful math formulas? Can you show a simple example I can follow?

I want to be able to closed out trades based on a profit(money) however my lot sizes vary during the day. If I close based of say $50 that'll be ridicoulous if I'm trading on 0.01 lots as it could not happen however $5 would be reasonable. In the same manner if I'm trading 0.10 lots then it makes sense to aim for $50.
So the question is how do I get the EA to intelligently close out trades based on profits relative to the current lot size.

How do I have drop down parameterised for optimisation. I want to give it a name so it appears in the options rather than the technical reference.

That's very helpful

How do I safely disable the In-Trade managment (Opposite signal) blocks if my trade doesn't need them? I have added my conditions to no1 but I don't need no2. Also I notice in your example above you left the green check flag blocks. How do I utilise them?
cheers

I'm finding that when I have spent countless hours on a project sometimes adding a block can completely make the whole project stop working. The only problem is after detecting the issue and removing that block, it seems to be persistence so that the one block completely ruins the whole project.
This has been particularly true for when you try and customise stops for buy/sell blocks. I have worked on a EA over the weekend and suddenly it seems to be totally useless. How far can I retrace my steps?
So my question is, is there a way for me to UNDO apart from simply having to back up the mql code?

Guys
I have a Time bomb and a number of conditions with switches for the conditions. Even when I turn on all the conditions the Time bomb is still firing trades even the conditions aren't meant. Is it because the conditions look as though they are parallel? I don't want any trades firing except they conditions are met.
I used to chain them up in series however that too created trades even when conditions weren't met hence this was the recommended solution.

@trader-philipps
Thanks. I turned it on. Does that mean every stop within that project is virtually hidden? What's up with the emergency stop and relative size? There are no documentations.

Is this possible on Fxdreema? I haven't seen an option here. I'll like to know how to accomplish this if it's possible.

@trader-philipps
All the indicators are in the TMA-EA folder as per the instruction.
I managed to get it running and the system placed a trade on UK100. I loaded the same on EURGBP, EURUSD, AUDUSD, GBPUSD and EURAUD all day and there was not trade on any of these currencies. I find that quite surprising as I didn't change the indicator settings. I saved a set from the same one loaded and tried to use that for backtesting and that too self terminated.
The logs simply says it self terminated.

@trader-philipps
Last question
I tried running a quick backtest but I keep getting "Expert Advisor self terminated". I have all the historical data etc

@trader-philipps
Thanks for this idea. It will certainly save us a lot of time and effort!
I loaded this to see it action on a demo account and I have disabled time filter but New Trades allowed is still showing false. Is there something I'm not doing right?

Ignore the above question. It's working now
cheers

@trader-philipps
This is on another level. Have you considered training in some form. I think a lot of us could use some of the knowledge you have. If you already have something going please let me know.
cheers

Hello Gents
I have an EA that closes some profits out based on the number of pips travelled however I keep getting these errors when backtesting.
I had my lots set to 1 on EURUSD for testing and at some point the EA has to close part of the trade.

2020.02.14 17:57:15.141 Trades '50182356': failed market buy 0.147 EURUSD, close #36912598 sell 0.49 EURUSD 1.08815 [Invalid volume]
This is on MT5. What do I need to do to stop this. Can't the system calculate 50% of the current volume?

@trader-philipps

This one is resolved. I added a "loop pass n times" in between the buy and the conditions block on trade and it did what I wanted.
Thanks

Thanks @trader-philipps really appreciate this.
That looks closer to what I'm thinking but I want to be able to have a variable that I can set to buy or sell depending on the distance n pips.
Do I simply say buy or sell if difference = n pips using a formula. I want it to be a variable I can set.
