Just realized my indicator was named differently in my MQL folder so the EA didn't detect it. Now it is taking trades but seems like it's not off of the correct levels, not sure yet still testing.

@l-andorrà That thread made me realize what buffers are.

Seems like the MT5 version is finding them correctly.

The colors are black in the condition block, but they are correct here.

(I changed the buffer names to represent what it is)

However, when I actually try to use it it doesn't seem to work.

Here's a quick demo project: https://fxdreema.com/shared/DUm2642cb

It doesn't take any trades at all.

@l-andorrà Oh that's unfortunate.

Did you mean "while MT4 can accept more?"

I'll just make it for MT4 first then. If it's any good I'll get it fixed for MT5.

Here's the MT4 version

The "band selection" option wasn't there before, I'm assuming that's to refer to upper, lower and middle band. Just gotta find out which number refers to which I think.

Thank you for your time.

It does have these 4 buffers, is that suppose to be referring to the channels?

There's 4 buffers, but 3 channels though.

Thanks.

Try this: https://fxdreema.com/shared/w8yPBKIgb

It's just one condition block but you may be able to see the Keltner channel settings there.

@l-andorrà Well, it's not exactly a project yet.

I'm trying to import it properly before the creation of the project.

Does sharing a project also share my own imported indicator?

So I imported an indicator, Keltner Channels, which is very similar to bollinger bands (just uses different method to calculate the positions of the bands)

It imported fine, but it doesn't have the ability to select lower band, middle band or upper band.

So it is essentially useless in the context of condition blocks.

Does anyone here know how I add it to the Keltner Channel indicator?

Perhaps some code I have to add to the indicator's source code?

Thanks.

@l-andorrà

It indeed cant be used as an indicator.

However, I see nothing stopping you using an EA as an indicator as long as you're not trying to run another EA alongside it.

Fixed that as well. No longer in need of help.

Thanks for your time, always appreciated!

I finally fixed it. Thanks for your time.

Only thing I need to do now is make it so it wont open a buy and a sell in the same day. Only one trade per day.

As of now, I have a "once per day" bar for sells and buys separately.

Current version: https://fxdreema.com/shared/qCcgtzZ7e

I think my problem is that the condition under the flags has to remain true, therefore price has to remain above or below the asia range before it executes.

Not sure how to fix it yet.

Using x> instead of > doesnt work.

It's suppose to be a pretty simple EA.

For buys:
Price crosses below "Asia" low, and when a candle closes above a 5 bar fractal go long at market.

But it only enters when the 5 bar fractal is below "Asia" low for some reason, no matter what I do.

Vice versa for shorts.

I got it but clearly I over-complicated it with a bunch of formula blocks haha. Thanks for your time.

@l-andorrà That's odd. No, the EA does it.

The "Asia" lines are plotted based on a time window in inputs though.

This is driving me nuts, must've spent 15-20 hours trying to fix this

I fixed it, thanks haha. The time difference gives a delay. But you responded to my "EA almost finished" thread, which I'm still having issues with. The project is shared there.

Forgot to mention, it should close beyond the pink line. Not just cross it.

It should've executed once this candle closed.

This is the current version.

I'll show you example from the MT5 visual tester

When it crosses what I refer to as Asia high/low (the dotted horizontal line) it should enter a trade in the opposite direction as soon as the most recent swingpoint has a candle close past it (the pink horizontal lines).

In this example, it executed correctly.

Now an example where it doesn't execute.

Here it went below "Asia low", and it seems to recognize that since I've set it up to change the color from LimeGreen to Black when it's broken.

Then it closes above the pink line, which is a swingpoint. But it does not execute.

An hour or so later, it goes below the asia low again, but a lot lower and closes above another swingpoint. Then it does execute.

I think it is because the swingpoint for some reason has to be outside of the "Asia" range.

@l-andorrà Could you give me some details on how to do that?

I'm quite new to fxdreema.

How do I calculate Fibo levels with variables?

Any help is much appreciated!

Fixed it.
