I used the variable "time filter" and put it to local time 3 AM ( EST for me), to execute a trade. But on my mt5 backtest, it enters trades at 3 AM MT5 Time, which looks to be 9am.

First of all I've read that you cant change the time zone inside of mt5 so that's stupid. If that is possible someone please let me know (mt5 overall seems so old and clunky)

Secondly, if I can't change mt5 time, I figured I would either change the time inside of fxdreema project, but I saw the local time option, so I thought I'd tried that.

Is it supposed to work? I have it set to Local Time 3 am but still enters trades on server time 3am.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hey Everyone, I added what you all said except the quotations around the symbols as @jstap said. But I am using "no trade: false" variable now and just testing it only one symbol, eurusd. I tested it on mt5 and it seems to now execute trades, so that's good. Problem is now the bot is immediately entering a new trade as soon as it his the previous trades SL. How do I set it up so it just does one trade a day?

Additonally, was the whole issue just that I had two pairs in the symbol field? You should be able to do two at once right? is that just a bug with fxdreema or I am missing the logic? For now I am just going to play around with one pair if it works, but I do want to get to the bottom of that issue.

Also just some general qs about MT5: You can only backtest one pair at a time correct? And you can only have one EA per chart? If so, I guess I could build two versions of this EA, one for each chart. Hopefully someone can tell me the easiest setup for all these questions to be addressed.

Here is the updated share link, download it and test it to let me know

Thank you everyone

@ambrogio your saying to leave "symbol" empty? How would It know the pairs I want to trade. And by Admin you mean the dev of fxdreema?

@sktsec So your saying for this whole right branch of actions, I should replace "if position" with "no trade" set to false?

I tried it on both "On Tiimer" and "ON Tick" and theyre not working. I try to test them in mt5 and it does the simulation but it doesnt execute any trades. Maybe download it and try it for yourself cause I have no idea.

Maybe this will help you figure it out? This is the settings I'm using for the backtest in mt5

Here you go

this on the "ON TIMER" event by the way

Ok I added the changes. Do you think this will work?

where is the if trade variable? I searched for it but dont see it.

Hey Everyone, I am just getting started with FXdreema and I put my EA in MT5. Forgive me if this is a simple fix, but I can't seem to find the answer for it.

I made a quick project and tried to backtest it in MT5, but when I did, it did not trigger any trades to open. So I wonder what is wrong my logic. See the image below. I have everything inside of "on timer" because I wanted it to enter a trade on eur/usd and gbp/usd at exactly 2:59:59 AM EST on days that are a weekday. You can see both of those time filters below. The rest are things that should trigger after the trade has started, but the issue is that it wont even enter trades so it has to be the time filters.

I've seen other people share their flow chart and you can actually see all the variables, can someone tell me how I can do that? That way I can get help the fastest. Thank you in advance to anybodies help, I really appreciate it.

Title explains it. I've developed a simple script to try out fxdreema, but I can't figure out where you add the pairs you want this to trigger for. Is it the symbol tab inside of buy now? If so, how can I apply it to multiple pairs so that it would trigger a trade for both my chosen pairs simultaneously? Sorry for the beginner question, just couldn't seem to find the answer for in forums or YT.

Appreciate the help anyone can give!
