@l-andorrà thanks, but doesn't this just look at the current open trades? I'll try it though, so thank you for replying, much appreciated.

@jstap here's a link to the project: https://fxdreema.com/shared/2zK8P2FFd

Can someone help me with me settings in the "Check Profit" block. I have it connected to a close trades block, and want all trades to close when a net daily profit of $20 is hit. The block will close trades when the value of open trades is $20, but it doesn't take into account any losing trades that have already been closed. Here are trades from today:

You can see it closed the 3 buy trades when profit was $20, but didn't recognise the 2 losing trades closed earlier in the day. These are how I've set it up:

Thank you .

@Hiten7405 Yes, I've got buy and sell conditions, but with this block, when the buy conditions are met it's setting a a buy and sell order at exactly the same time. If I go in and manually try to cancel the sell order, both the buy and sell pending orders are removed, so they are linked somehow.
Anyone have an idea why?

Any idea why a buy pending order block would be opening short trades as well as long trades?

In live testing it's open buy and sell orders at exactly the same time:

@MT4Nutzer thanks. I'll try that.

I'm trying to create an EA where 1 of the conditions is to open when price is above/below the 60min high/low.

I've set the condition as shown for buys but it's not working as expected. Any suggestions would be appreciated please.

Thank you

@l-andorrà Great, thank you for that!!

Hi
I've created an EA that opens only one trade at a time. Is there a way to limit the number of trades it opens to say three per day. I want to create this for testing purposes.

Alternatively, if there a way to have the EA stop entering trades until the following day once a winning trade has been closed?

I can do this manually in live trading, but want to use the Strategy Tester to back test and optimise the EA.

Cheers

I've tried to create one with the basic skills I have but can't seem to get setting right. Doesn't enter properly, or close.

I need some help building a basic EA if anyone is willing. I'd like to back test a strat on a Daily chart on US500 that opens a buy on each green (long) candle close, and continues adding positions every day the market rises. All long positions close after a red (short) candle, which also opens a sell position.

A green candle closes any sell positions and opens a new buy, and so on. Does that make sense?
