This is a questions for real programmers. Any hint for this gentleman?

More than probably the reason is the supertrend repainting the las candles' values. I recommend you to test it on a demo account (not backtesting) for a week. That way you will be complete sure all, none or some exits are correctly executed. Then backtest that same week. I bet you will get VERY different results.

Good to know. You're welcome.

No, the trailing step is correct. The problem is that the trailing stop should be applied to specific % levels (11, 22, 33, etc.) and not as soon as the SL has moved. Your configuration will look for an 11% profit as soon as the SL was moved to the 4% level whereas I need the TS to be triggered at those concrete levels.

I'm afraid it doesn't work. The first move is done correctly. The first stop is moved at 4% when 11% is hit. However, 11+4 = 15. so when price hits 15% of open price a new move of SL is done when I need it to be a 22% (11+11).

Any other hint?

You can substitute the 'once per object block for this one:

Good. Just wanted to be sure you understand the importance of block ID number.

Didn't consider that option. I'll try it. Thank you.

I know it can be done but I'm afraid I'm so stuck I can't simply see it before me. I want to specify a trailing stop equivalent to a percentage of open price. Then the trailing step will be a different percentage of that same open price. This second part I can do but I can't see how to implement the first one considering the options available in the block.

Let me put a numerical example. Let's imagine I choose the TS to be triggered at an accumulative 11% of open price and then the trailing step is specified as a 4% of open price. This means that when price hits 11% of open price in profit SL is moved to 4% of open price. When price hits 22% then SL is moved to 8% of open price and so on. Considering that 4 is a 36.6% of 11, this is the trailing step to be inserted here:

What I can't find is how to insert the first percentage as a price level, price fraction, pips or something else.

Any help will be much appreciated.

If I understand you correctly, you want a pending buy when proce is ABOVE the MA. Now apparently this is what the EA is doing. I don't fully understand what's the problem.

Personally I never use that block. Could you please explain what do you exactly need?

If 1) the indicator can be successfully uploaded to your fxDreema account AND 2) those alerts are easily identifiable by the builder (ie, available buffers), the answer is yes.

I also recommend you to change block ID 13 with a number lower that 9. Now your EA is closing trades before opening them.

That depends on the circumstances. Could you please share your project?

I recommend you to read the section 'Betting: Martingale / Paroli' here:

https://fxdreema.com/instructions/builder/money-management

That should solve most of what you're looking for. However, if you let me take the liberty of offering some advice, I strongly recommend you NOT to focus on ANY martingale strategy. I created my own martingale EA and no matter how many different variants you use. Sooner than later you lose your money. All of it.

Is this the first time this happens to you? Is that indicator the only one in which that error appears?

A bit more info would be much appreciated. Can you please share your project?

You should use a 'No trade' block on top of your launching conditions. That way every time a buy is open, no more buys will until it's closed.

Trader.philipps is correct. However, if what you want is that trade is allowed only ONLY when the seventh bar has been created, you just need to change the number of the cande ID from 1 to 7 on the left operand and 8 to the right one. Additionally , the 'cross width' section shoud be modified to 1.

Blocks 90 and 91 are still using candle Id 0. Try to change them to candle ID 1 and try it again, maybe.
