Thanks,

I am toying with New Trend High and Low Blocks to identify Fibonacci inputs. If I choose New Trend High and draw Fibonacci, It will draw back to the time of the candle I specify. I want it to draw back to the New Trend Low stored as a variable and vica versa. Can you assist in guidance?

GOAL: To establish long trend Fibo levels and use same methodology on corrections by adjusting New Trend Low And High time reference points.

The ea will not open or attach to charts. I downloaded the ..ex4 file from Fxdreema and then pasted in experts folder. The ea now attaches to charts but I'm questioning if I need to do something else to ensure the ea functions properly?

I found another issue... The error on tester says one of my indicatorers where I only have the EX4 file is error : "Shortname too long". It appears that the EA still functions and trades, but I'm not sure if this is going to be an issue running the EA live?

However, My current issue is related to our email. I am using MQL4 and I am setting up my EA to run on a VPS. Since I run multiple charts, I want to reduce memory and CPU usage by simply loading the EA and NOT attaching the indicators to the charts.

I run daily chart trades so I cannot clearly tell if the EA is functioning properly. I have some custom indicators where I had only the .ex4 file and I'm not sure if any of these indicators need to be attached to charts in order for the EA to work properly. Can you advise?

I found the problem and it may be common with other users.... I successfully manually entered the indicator inputs and buffers with FXDREEMA, but I realized that when you download a custom indicator from the MQL5 community marketplace the indicators download to a Market Folder. I just needed to copy the file and place it in the Indicators folder and then it worked.

I am not sure if other users figured this out, but marketplace indicators download only .ex4 files so you must manually enter inputs and buffers through FXDREEMA indicators. If you don't match the inputs in order, it won't work. Duplicate the inputs, define the buffers, BUT most important is to copy the .ex4 file from any subfolder (Market or any other) and paste directly in the MT4 indicators file. This will solve a world of grief figuring it out.

Hi,

Can you offer some guidance?

double CIvalue = iCustom(NULL,0,"Choppiness Index",14,1,1,1,0); // Current Choppiness Index Value

Hi,

I am using an indicator Cross on the 4Hr Chart. I need to add the condition that the same indicator on the Daily chart crosses within 20 daily bars from the original 4Hr chart cross. Can you please assist in a suggested setup?

Thanks,

Mike

Could you provide detail...

At 200 Pips 40% and at 300 Pips 30%

How to enter so I can test?

My Desire is 70% of Profit at 40 Pip, 60% at 100 Pips, 50% at 150 Pips, 40% at 200 + Pips Is there a better way to do this? Fixed pips did not work as well....

I am Familiar with your Trailing Stop that uses (Experimental) "30/10, 40/15".

Can that same progression be used in the "Percentage of Profit" Field as well? (30/70, 100/50, 200/40...etc...?)

What I would like to achieve is 70% of Profit from Entry and 65%/(X) Pips, 50% (X) Pips, 45% (X) Pips, 40% (X) Pips ------70/X, 65/X, 50/X, 45/X, 40/X

It's okay I figured that would be a bit over the top.

I have placed the "Once Per Bar" Just Before the Buy & Sell Boxes.

This should work, I believe, BUT the EA is only triggering trades that meet the conditions when it is initially placed on the chart...... Then any subsequent trades on new bars do not get triggered for trade????????

I tested the EA in Strategy tester and it appears to trigger trades on future candles (Some not quite as intended but this may simply be the Testing speed) Is there something I'm missing here?

A condition of trade entry is Candle HI surpassing previous candle. While a trade is running, this is obviously occurring, but when the stop gets triggered, the EA enters a new trade (Undesired).

To prevent this, I used "Once Per Bar" after conditions. Yes, it will not re-execute a trade on the same candle of a closing trade (This was the desire) However, on all future candles where trade conditions are met.... NO TRADE GETS EXECUTED!!! If I remove the EA and Re-Attach to the chart.... It executes the trade as planned????? What is preventing future trades????

Is there a way to track and display drawdown of each trade from open to close?

I have "No Trade" to prevent multiple entries. BUT How can I also prevent entering a trade on the same candle of an exit?

I am using a no trade running with only a pass to a trailing stop with a formula. It does not change stop loss even though it worked in testing when I included a buy trade for simulation?

I created a manual Trailing Stop by using "Pink Blocks" > Modify Stops - As per your recommendation. Is this string of blocks too many? Please check "MASTER AUTOMATED STOP"

THANKS!

Actually, your first issue can be easily solved by exiting when the candle high crosses the MA for exit I believe?

I've accomplished this by creating a formula by using addition or subtraction of pips from an MA related to candle to control both entries and exits. Sometimes a crossover occurs when the candle price moves to far from the MA and an entry or exit can be late so I set condition to enter or exit if resulting formula is less than a fixed number of pips. Hope this helps.....Admin may have better suggestion though.

Hi,

I am attempting to create (Master Automated Stop) a stop loss program > Initial stop = 80 pips then after 80 pips in money = 60 pips stop then after 100 pips in money = 50 pips stop then after 150 pips in money = trailing stop at 33.3% of profits.

I have set this program up using "Once Per Trade" and "Pips away" and it appears to work sometimes and not others?

I KNOW that trailing stop is used in all setups but it didn't work at all with "Modify Stop" and I KNOW that trailing stop should be at tick level, but that does not allow the "pips away" staggering for money management? is it possible you can advise a better approach?

Thanks,

Mike
