Alright, I just wanted to fill you in that I have figured it out and that was what I came up with and it was able to work. However, I am still having a few problems that I'm sure I can figure out in time, such as, well for one it keeps on opening multiple trades at random times when a condition is met and closing them right away. For that issue I think ima have to add an ONE TRADER PER BAR block or something, however, I can't exceed the 10 step since I'm not a SUBSCRIBER to fxdreema,..... YET lol. There was one more problem that I was having and that was during some trades which the condition is met, it wouldn't open any trades and at times it would. Weird.

Nonetheless, when I have some more free time and I finish up my homework for my college class I'll be spending a lot more time playing around with these blocks.

Thank you so much fxdreema for the lovely and hard work you are putting into this. Your work will not go unnoticed.

__Many many people are using fxDreema every day. Blocks like "No trade" and "Buy now" are used in virtually every project, and this happens for years. This means that they are rock solid and there is veeeery little chance for something to be wrong in them, especially in backtesting.

So, if you see multiple trades, there is one reason for that - Buy now/Sell now runs too often. Why? I have this: http://prntscr.com/czc6yd Obviously trades are opened and immediately closed. In your case you have. If I disable both "Close trades", the problem does not happen at all. This means that the problem is in "Close trades". Yes, what happens is that a new trade is created and then on the next tick this trade is closed. Because Condition 17 and 4 are true at the same time, or Condition 21 and 8. What you can do is to make sure that "Close trades" is not reached right after the creation of the trades. I can't say exactly how, it depends. Once per bar or whatever. And if you study this example (for example), you will see that I don't use special blocks: https://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-buy-sell- ... conditions It depends :)[/quote:96dccz1u]

I kinda understand and still don't understand what you're saying fxdreema. I did exactly the same thing you did with my custom indicator and still no success.
http://puu.sh/rWSCP/72886cd27d.png

I even tried it with the INDICATOR APPEAR blocks and still was having no success. Matter fact, at least with the INDICATOR APPEAR block it was opening a buy trade to say the least, however, unfortunately it wasn't opening the sell and just hitting the take profit.

I want to ask you to elaborate more or give us better examples with different indicators rather than always using the moving average example, however, I fear that I have already over burdened you. I'm just trying to understand exactly what's going so I don't have to keep on asking the same questions over and over lol. Sorry

Why do you have your "CLOSE POSITION" after the CONDITION and before the BUY & SELL?

Also, why don't your buy and sell have take profits?

Are you trying to have the crossover sell when it crosses down and when it re-crosses up it closes that sell and puts a buy trade?

I think I'm somehow trying to do the same thing over here. Let me know what you think maybe we can learn form each others mistakes.

It would be nice if somehow you can incorporate a tutorial as your next project into this website such as the https://www.freecodecamp.com/ has done to teach individuals how to code.

__Hello again

So the plot thickens. Currently, the lopez indicator will send a buy and sell signal via buffers 5 and 6 with values of 1.00 (Ex. When buffers 5 == 1, buy). This works perfectly.
When looking at the data window on mt4, it shows that when the indicator changes state, buffer 7 == 1. Our condition is therefore when buffer 7 == 1, close buy trades and when
buffer 7 == 0, close sell trades.
The issue, is that the trades do not ever close when referencing this indicator. When there is a buy and sell condition that doesn't reference the indicator, suddenly the close condition that IS referencing buffer 7 starts closing trades correctly. This leads us to think that a buy/sell and close can't reference the same indicator.

Our question is, could there be interference happening between the buffers? Can their signals get crossed? Having the buy/sell work and the close not work, and then in a duplicate ea having the buy/sell not be related to the indicator and having the close suddenly work seems illogical.[/quote:7bcn8apu]

===========================================================================================================================================
So what I'm trying to understand from what you are trying to say, did you get the lopez trend indicator to buy when the trend goes blue and to close the trend goes red and soon after when the trend goes red to sell and when the trend goes blue to close and rebuy?

check out my forum because I'm trying to do the same thing with this indicator. Could you possibly help me out?

I'm having the same problem with the indicator I'm trying to run. Check out my forum that I posted, "Just When You Thought You Had It".

https://fxdreema.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4098

if you can give me some tips and pointers I would really appreciate that.

If you're familiar with my last forum, I'm sure you noticed the pain and struggles I went through to figure out that problem; nonetheless, no problem is unsolvable. Hours upon hours, I finally figured out what was wrong and I got the EA to work. However, it was time now to figure out in that EA to get the EA to buy whenever a buy signal shows up (which I got that part) and to close when a sell signal from the indicator appears. On this problem alone I probably spent a good 3 hours and I was still stumped.

http://puu.sh/rVN0Q/8a0cf21b6a.png

So far, this is as close as I got, DESIGN WISE; when I throw this design on the EA, IT GOES HORRIBLY WRONG, like literally, HORRIBLE.

http://puu.sh/rVN9O/98732e6021.jpg

So, as you can see, what I'm trying to do here is have the EA buy when the buy signal APPEARS, and close the trade when a sell signal APPEARS while opening a sell order and closing when a buy signal APPEARS and visa verse over and over and over again.

by the way guys, the indicator that I'm referencing to is located in that url up top. Knock yourselves out and download it and us it. I personally think it's a pretty good indicator when modified properly, and it can make a lot of bread when mixed with other good strategies.

If anyone any place the blocks in the right order to show me what I'm trying to achieve I would really appreciate the help. Thanks so much and looking forward to help anyone else who has any questions.

Just another day, Noor

Alright guys, just wanted to update you. So I figured out what was the problem. You know how it says to upload the EX4 file, well, I didn't do that. What I ended up doing was uploading the MQL4 Source file instead and I got the proper results that I needed to get this thing working! WOOT WOOT!

Ok, this is an update to let people and the admin know where I am at so far after playing around and rereading a lot of the forums and examples. I must add though, I am pretty proud of myself towards the accomplishments in terms of progress and learning I'm doing with this who fxdreema stuff. Alright, now time for the juicy stuff.

So my initial problem was that I am getting a "No indicator is selected in block 1" Error, which I still am, however, I realized that I did not put in the input parameters correctly then, in which I have put them now.

http://puu.sh/rVtPk/05422de7c9.jpg

Which should end up looking like this:

• make sure you read this link
  https://fxdreema.com/help/-/working%20w ... indicators
  and make sure you reread carefully if you are still not understanding how to put in your own custom indicator which was the problem I was having. You can also open from your mt4 meta editor and look through the source code to find the stuff you need

So now the only problem I am having is that whenever I try to update the block, I get a waiting on the top left and more waiting, and then it just goes blank. I don't get an update successful message or anything and I was curious is someone can help me understand why or show me what I am doing wrong.

In conclusion, what I am essentially trying to do is this:
http://puu.sh/rVuhc/1b5193e5c2.png

Whenever the signal appears/shows an up arrow, I want it to buy.

*how to I get it to close the trade when a sell signal appears or the arrow goes away?

Thanks to anyone who helps me, Noor. As I become better at this I will become active and help those who need help as well.
Goodluck to all, Noor

I figured out the subscription part from reading other forums and I realized there's a subscription button on the top right part lol. Sorry, I've bee under a lot of stress lately and I seem to just miss the most obvious things around me. Hopefully with the blessings of FXdreema I can accomplish the EA I have in mind and all my financial stress can finally leave me alone. Believe me, if I make it because of this website, I'm donate hundreds of dollars to this project you have going on.

Spreading the love.

I'm trying to great an EA just like the example "Working with Fractals and other arrow indicators"

• I also tried it without the NO TRADE block

I'm trying to get the EA to buy when the up arrow appears and to sell when the down arrow appears

http://puu.sh/rUKxr/d80eec3cfd.png

Do I also need to add a close block when it changes from buy to sell. For example:

no trade > indicator appear (buy signal arrow) > buy > indicator appear (sell signal arrow) > close trade

no trade > indicator appear (sell signal arrow) > sell > indicator appear (buy signal arrow ) > close trade

??????????????????

Also, I'm getting the "no indicator selected block." What does that mean and what am I doing wrong.

Help would be much appreciated Admin. Also, might I add, this is by far the smartest thing one can do. HAND DOWN, YOU'RE A GENIUS.

Another question, I read in another discussion that there's a paid membership plan of some sort, however, I was searching through the pages here, as well as, through my profile functions and I couldn't find any option for paying to use this service. Is that function all goan and this is now a free tool that anyone can use?
