would you think to use less lagging MA than SMA?

thank you very much for your time.

open in up 'check trades count' block and send its screenshot please

can you put the screenshot of it?

anyone??

Hi everyone,
(especially @roar @l-andorrà @fxDreema @QuantEngineer )

I've created 4 custom blocks by means of https://fxdreema.com/studio/MQL5
They are copy-paste things given by the seller of Walk Forward Optimizer library.
**But I am not sure where to add them. Can you help me out please:
They are:

1. First one is one line '#include' code calling a library that is already added to mt5, and to be place in the very beginning of the code. but where to be deployed in fxdreema?
2. Second one has to be place into ' int OnInit() ' , (into Oninit I think ? )
3. Third is starting with void OnTesterInit()
4. Fourth has to be placed under ' void Ontick() ' ( can I place it anywhere after a 'pass' block ? )
   You will see the screenshots of code blocks attached as 1,2,3,4 to the above order.

@jim67 Hi, have you found the answer? I am suffering the same issue. I would appreciate if you share the solution.
thank you in advance.

@l-andorrà I think this is wat he is exactly looking for.
The core question is 'when to start to follow?'
If not, can you enlighten us more, since you seem to be an experienced user?
thx in advance.

Hi people,
We should find a way to convert mq4 or mq5 ( that are only aiming to draw our formula on the whole chart, for all max. chart bars) of fxdreema to an indicator . Any helpers to show me the way for it?

I write formulas (like EMA(n). x .ATR(m) ) and want it to see them on the chart from the very first bar to last bar.
That will help me understand if the formula is good for that pair and what would be the n and m periods before I go run an hours and hours of Backtest. ( I have already done sth here: https://fxdreema.com/shared/SCZuyqPme )
If I would be able to observe that the formula works for that particular pair and predict the possible period intervals for the in-formula indicators( here: n and m) and the coefficient x , that will definitely save huge time, maybe hundreds of hours..

If the owner of fxdreema is reading this topic, longer description of the necessity of my reasonable demand is:
I have to admit I am an old school and have newly discovered fxdreema, yet I have no coding background or so.
According to my experiences, the best way to understand whether a strategy would work or not is to make a two-minute simple observation on a long term chart of the pair. You place the indicators on the chart and observe the rightest trigger points. That diminishes the range of inputs for the indicators.
eg, If a formula(strategy) has 3 variables , even a genetic backtest would take many hours. But If observe x must be sth between 1.0-1.8 and n and m would be somewhere in 8-12, and if I save 5 hours for each test, for 28 pairs I save a week!
That saves a huge time and make you believe the consistency of your strategy before examining the EA with a backtest.

@q8carpenter thank you very much for the answer. I will give it a try.
but that info is still there on 'how to' page, seems like a valid message.
I am new here, and don't know how to do it but maybe we should let the owner know about it.

In 'How to' section, fxDreema says ' you should not use the Heiken Ashi indicator that comes with metatrader' .
and adds 'in fxDreema you can find a better version'
Can you please write me down the link that I can download the Heiken Ashi of fxdreema ?
