I'm not an expert at mql4, but I would say that string variables cannot be numbers, but text. According to your example, you want to modify numbers so you should use a 'double' or 'int' variable instead.

That is the structure you need to hide your SL to the broker. All blocks under 'For each trade' are doing exactly that. What do you need about it?

You can create acounter variable and then count how many trades are open by using a 'For each trade' block. You modify the variable at every pip on the orange dot of the block.

You're right. Unfortunately that option is not available for MT5

Do you mean when exporting it from the builder to your desktop? And does it happen in mq5 only?

Thank you ambrogio.

The 'Trailing pending order' should work. Could you please share your project?

Just curious. Has someone really tried it?

@roar Good to know, roar.

Could you please detail a specific example? Maybe I would be able to find a suggestion to do.

Good to know it works, though. Interesting.

Honestly, it depends on your current distribution of blocks. I guess you prefer not to share your project but, can you please at least share the relevant part of it?

In effect, you can create an Ea doind that, but that would not be an inidicator. fxDReema is not designed to make indicators.

Believe me, miro, roar and trader.philipps are the real code breakers here, not me.

Once more, thank you four help. I will study it in detail but as far as I tested on my own this is what I'm looking for.

My dearest paragorundu,

Let me say that this is probably one of the best Xmas presents I've been given in the last years! I think this is exactly what I'm looking for. I have to study it, though.

Can I take the liberty of taking advantage of your generosity and ask for a copy of those blocks and variables, please? I know I don't need to see the whole project. Just these wonderful blocks in the loop.

Please accept my <insert number here> (Loop) thanks.

I suggest you to create a bool variable controlling when the lower TF condition is met (same for any other relevant indicator). Then you can use those variables as a condition to be met in your current TF before the buy/sell now block. IMHO that would be much easier than masterinf the 'wait to pass' feature.

¿Te refieres dentro del buider o en tu EA?

Some hints:

1. Use different tree blocks for launching/trailing stopping trades. Trailing stop should have its own tree of conditions.

2. Same for close trades. Are those conditions on blocks 2, 3 and 4 for buys exactly the same for closing trades? I guess not. So you need another tree of conditions for closing your trades.

3. I see you are using candle ID 1 on your condition blocks, Good for you! That's a common issue for newbies, so you are not a newbie anymore.

Try redo your project again with these recommendations and let me know.

@trader-philipps Are you sure that lonely block on the 'On Init' tab will work? What about the 'never use lonely blocks' mantra?

There are different possibilities. You can create a bool Condition (input parameter) initiated as you prefer. Then you can use that input on a condition block immediately above the TS block. That way you'll be able to choose if TS is functional or not.
