Seems that the crossover option in conditions is working but it is not without fault.

In some instances, it misses out on very significant crossovers and I don't know if it has to do with my settings and programming but without being big headed, I am doubting this as I have been very scrutinous every step of the way.

I attach a screenshot of only once instance it didn't take a trade. I don't know if the EA is too busy thinking about which buffer the current candle is on while it should be looking at the crossover at market price? I don't know.

Could you explain what is the cross width as well? Is this a candle count or pip count or what?

Thanks,

Daniel

Hello,

I have been looking on the forum for an answer and I thought that I found it at one point but I am still struggling.

Basically, I think that the attached screenshot is more understandable than what I can ask here.

I have tried working with indicator is visible but don't know whether I should be working with indicator within limits. It appears that both have a candles to look back feature.

If I can get this right, I think that the difficulty will be in isolating the candle that produced the indicator signal and then telling market to buy when price moves above that specific candle's high or vice versa.

As similar problem will appear at close when I want to program the EA again to look back candles to close when price is lower that low of candle which produces semafor 3.

I am pretty clued up with everything else as I did get this indicator to trade buys and sells off the signals (or should I say buffers), but there I don't know how to produce the line break conditions to enter trades the way I really want to trade the indicator.

Please help.

Many Thanks & Best Regards,

Daniel

I have tried this and I must say I am happy that I have this constant / variable option in your software. It adds a bit of flexibility in some places. However, the issue that I am having is that what I want to change as an input for the EA user has an asterix "*" in it as it requires a multiplication.

I attach a screenshot of what I got so far. I have tried it as an int double and I have tried it as an int string but it is not doing the job.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Daniel

Thanks! I will have a look at this.

I'm not sure you understood what I meant by no trades opening. Yes, there are trades opening. The scenario I am explaining is it doesn't re-trade the levels that have been closed unless it goes a grid step above or below what has been closed, then it will re-trade that level.

This is what I was pointing out by my initial screenshot.

Is there a way to reset the EA as if it was first dropped on the charts? This I know is the solution to my problem. After closed trades, I want it to do a general reset. That is all. Sorry to be so lengthy with this. I know the solution, just don't know if fxdreema can program the execution.

Thanks, Your software is amazing!

Hi,

I am trying to set a close all trades and terminate EA at % Equity Gain from Balance.

Although I have seen examples of this in the forum, the problem that I have is that the settings in the conditions block cannot be set as a user variable. It is ok for me if I am the only one that is using the EA but if I am presenting an EA to multiple users, they cannot set the Equity Gain % from Balance as a variable. It can only be adjusted as a fixed value from the programmer's perspective.

Is there a way that I can set this part of the conditions block to be a variable instead of a fixed value?

Many Thanks & Best Regards,

Daniel

__Why don't you switch to the Pips option instead of Price fraction. It's a long story, but for the chart in your screenshot I think that 1 pip is 0.001, not 0.01.

So, Round numbers detector should do something on each new level. I don't remember fixing that block soon and I think that the block is not buggy in the desktop version. But I don't know what else can be. If these blocks from the screenshot are under "on Tick" and if this is an EA, not a script, it should work. But first make sure that Round numbers detector is doing what you want. I would connect it with some Draw Arrow blocks to see the levels at which it gives me signals. And I did that in the web version... looks as I expected.

Again, try with Pips[/quote:3dbyuc63]

Ok, despite thinking this will do the same thing. I will do a web version of the EA and set round numbers to pips. I hope it does solve the problem. I have a negative outlook at the moment.

Thanks for all your help.

__But if you put one more block above, this will further limit the possibility to run those Buy/Sell blocks. Even now I would expect to see more that two trades, but something appears to be wrong. I think that what is wrong is the size of the distance. I don't know your exact value, because even if it says 2.0, you have this as an input parameters. But if it's 2.0, then it's already too big. Your prices are like 159.016, which means that you should enter value like 0.010 or 0.1 or something like this, something lower than 1.[/quote:1n6qjm4b]

Definitely not. I am using the round numbers block off the PC.
It is not the website version. As I understand this round numbers work like this.

For JPY pairs
0.01 = 1 pip
0.10 = 10 pips
1.0 = 100 pips

I am using 2.0 to get a 200 pip grid for market orders.

Most other pairs for example the EURUSD
0.0001 = 1 pip
0.0010 = 10 pips
0.0100 = 100 pips

The reason there are few trades is because I have put it through strategy tester only to show a chart.

It's not about the round numbers settings. It is about on a round number, I open a buy and a sell trade at the same time. The level dos not exhibit any more trades while there is a sell or a trade at that number as I would expect as my block has 2 connections, one for buy and one for sell. BUT, when I TP 100 pips in the up move and 100 pips in the down move, then there is no reason for round numbers not to open another buy/sell position at that same level. What it does instead, it won't use that round number for any open trades until it has opened another trade at the round number position that is above or below the previous one that I am trying to get to trigger. It's as if that number position can only trade once until it hits a different round number and returns to the original. What I am wanting it to do is once the trades have closed at profit, that it would re-trade that position without having to touch another round number above or below that level.

Having said all this, I am simply seeking a method that will re-initialize the EA once it has taken a TP. If I knew what block or sequence of blocks that can re-initialize the EA as if I had just dropped it first on the chart, that would be good. At least then, I can play around with this so that I can decide at what point I want the EA to reinitialize.

Thanks for your help.

__Something like this - https://fxdreema.com/shared/5ZHr8nLNd[/quote:3k5zk4nu]

In this example that you have shown, you have displayed a close all trades if equity exceeds balance by 2%. My only problem with this is that it has not option in the conditions block to make the 2% a variable for other users.

Is there a way to get around this?

Thanks,

Daniel

__Maybe your round numbers distance is too big. You have the value of 2 now and this is set to be Price fraction. By Price fraction I mean value like 0.0002 (for EURUSD)[/quote:uzqvwbly]

No, 200 pip grid is definitely what I am working with. What about if I set the EA to have a block on top to say "once a day", would that possibly be solving my problem of it not trading the same round numbers value? What it is is that it needs to go to the next round value, step up or step down, and then it will re-trade that level. Otherwise, it is not trading it in the range even after TPs have been hit.

I'm at a bit of a stump. I just need the level to open trades again once TPs have been taken. I open a BUY/SELL on each level.

Hi,

I have just developed an EA with fxdreema that is pretty successful. However there is something that is stopping me from making a bit more profit than I could.

I am using round numbers at 200 pips apart and taking profit at 100 pips in a cumulative sense of sum all profits and convert to pips.

The issue that I am having is that once trades are closed, the round numbers will only activate new positions at the next 200 pip level above or below the last closed profit position and not in the middle.

Is there a configuration I can use that will help me open the trades that are not opening? What I figure is some sort of arrangements of blocks or a block that will reset the EA when no positions are open.

I attach screenshots of both chart and fxdreema EA configuration.

Many Thanks & Best Regards,

Daniel

__Are you sure that you want to run those blocks 6 and 7 only once when new trades are created, or you want to make those checks all the time?[/quote:187ht72n]

I would prefer it is done all the time.

I think I figured out that I didn't need to connect the blocks to my buys and sells.

I got to the point where it is doing nearly what it needs to do but I am stuck to have control on just taking out 1 biggest loser position rather than to close all buys or all sells. As a quick fix to what I wanted to do, I had to group buys and sells, use the check unrealized profit function, set it to sum all profits/losses in value of pips regardless of lot size or position and then close.

This is ok but I wish I had more control on the losers I want to close. Sometimes I would just like to close the only one biggest loser because retracement can go deep enough that some of my losers are worth keeping in a trade as it could be a change in PA direction rather than a retracement at all.

Thanks!

Basically, I think I have found what I need the EA to do but it is not executing what I have programmed in fxdreema.

I attach the screenshot of what I've got.

I got round counter opening BUY&SELL position at 200 pips appart (2.0 on GBPJPY) in both upward and downward position.

I'm telling the EA to take profit when it has seen more than 100 pips in any direction so long as the sum of all positions equal to the value of 100 pips as grouping the buys and sells separately.

The problem that I am facing with this setup is that the EA does not close positions or a position if there is only one sell or buy open in the right directions for 100 pips.

Is there something I am missing?

Thanks,

Daniel

__Play with this and notice settings in block 3 - https://fxdreema.com/shared/TbnYIsyte[/quote:3pn8cxiw]

Thanks!

Hi,

First let me just thank you for this software and your continuous support that you provide with fxdreema. I think it's fantastic!

In the software, I noticed that there are options to close most profitable trade and least profitable trade but there are no options that I can see for closing your biggest and least loss. Although I am not concerned with closing my least loss it is the biggest loser that I am trying to program an EA for.

Basically I am programming a grid trader and need to take out the biggest loser out in a scenario where retracement profits happen and say if my biggest loser is $200 cash value and the retracement PA goes through grid steps towards this loser, I want to take out the biggest loser with a net of "x" or say $20 just to keep it in terms of money. It needs to be cash value as I think if it were pips that fxdreema cannot calculate overall pips in a swing. Although it would be handy if it could. Let me know if it can.

Many Thanks & Best Regards,

Daniel

Thanks for your help. I will give it a try!

Hi,

I am trying to create an EA with an unconventional way of grid trading.

I am using round numbers and buy/sells. After the first level, I am telling it to pick up from the buy or sell that has been placed and reinitialize the round numbers buy/sell loop.

This is all fine for what I need it to do BUT it seems that once it returns to an open trade buy or sell level, it doubles up the buy or the sell.

Is there a way I can check if an order is open at price level already and if so do not buy or do not sell?

I need to be careful with this one because I can have a sell and a buy on the same price level this is no problem and actually wanted, what I can't have is 2 sells or 2 buys at the same price.

I have attached a screenshot of my current configuration which is fine with exception of doubling up on buys and sells when moving away from an open trade and returning to it at a later instance.

Thanks,

Daniel
