Hey guys. Does any of you now the answer to this? Thanks in advance
@l-andorrà @roar @Xfire

Hello,

I see that even in MT4 blocks, we have the choice of time frames like 2m 3m 4m 20m h3...... and so on. These are all time frames that we can access on MT5 but not MT4 charts. In any case, does anyone know if they will they be calculated correctly when used in MT4?

@sssddd nothing looks wrong with the diagram but we can not say if there are things wrong with the way you set up the blocks within. Make sure you're on tick and if you would share the project link it would be easier to know what's wrong

@fxadels hello. Yes you can. Just place your conditions and then place the draw arrow block instead of buy or sell

@regalo the (terminate) block terminates the EA. what you need to use is the (close trades) block

@mykle-aphrodite do you mean that we have to set a condition block where the buffer is greater than zero? is that how it works?

@nico1397 I would assume that you would have to start the EA with the (if trade) block and use the filter manually opened trade within the block. and depending on how many chans of blocks you have, maybe have the (if trade) block connected to (turn ON blocks) block and have it turn ON your chains of blocks. but that would mean that at (on int) you will have to set up the initiation to turn off the starting blocks on (on tick) except the (if trade) block

this is a quick example

@regalo you're welcome. I thing that if you want to add a block like that you'll need and EA not a script since it may require time for that action to take place

@cliff-0 always possible to over optimize. my recommendation to you is to use out of sample data. meaning if you want to optimize, keep a year or two out of the optimization dates then look at the results, choose the ones you think are best and test on this out of sample year. if it fails, then most probably the results are over optimized. just keep in mind that if you start testing on this out of sample data, then minor tweaks do not work since the out of sample data will be considered in-sample.

@ali-pahlawan This is a good matter you brought up. I have tried the same thing with indicators that have a state where they appear/disappear or visible/invisible and couldn't get any to work. I'm starting to wonder if it's not something that can be done. I hope someone who sees this has the answer to why is that not working.

@zelzaal I'm afraid I can't help you with that since this platform is the only one i use. a quick google search should help

@regalo

I assume it should. just open up block 1, click filters and in the first drop down menu you will see the options to choose from manual or automatic trades to close. try it out on a demo account. It's best to try this out with every EA.

The above link is for a script that when launched will do only one action which is close all trades. also in the block here you can filter out which trades to close

@zelzaal
If I'm not mistaken, EAs can not draw arrows for the historical data when launched on a live chart. You will either need an indicator , which fxdreema can't help in, or you will need to do a visual backtest to see that.

To go ahead on drawing arrows, just connect the draw arrow block after the buy/sell blocks in your project

@regalo It depends of how you want the EA to close your trades. in this link you will see an example where the EA will close all trade when a certain amount of profit (in money not pips) is reached.

Honestly I don't remember ever using group of trades blocks so I'm not that familiar with them. but as I'm trying to follow your blocks, it seems to me that since the sell block needs a variable to work, and the variable requires block 9 to have been run, and the conditions of block 5 and 29 are the opposite, then it will not work.

I may be complicating things but I think that you may need to connect block 9 after 3

Look at this link. Make sure that blocks 1, 2, and 3 are numbered as such. you want them to be the first to run within the bunch.

block 2 with let the EA initiate the first size of the first trade

then what the formula block should do is double that size for the next trade

and lastly, the pink loop should restart the first trade value when there is a TP hit

if you follow this through you will understand it

I haven't tested this but it is supposed to work.

@mndiarra as you can see on the right side, candle ID is "1" which is the previous candle. the way it goes is "0" for current "1" for the previous and "2" for the one before that and so on.

@nscrilla
every indicator is different and it is all about identifying buffers. I'm not that good with adding custom indicators and as I understand, not all indicators are simple to work with in fxdreema.

In any case, this shouldn't be a problem because the idea of your strategy can be simply created without the need of an indicator, and it is a simple one.

@tommy78
Hi,
delete block 6 and replace it with a "Pass" block. i think your problem is that the EA in your case is waiting for a sell trade to open before modifying the variable.

p.s. the "pass" block is only these because a single not connected block will not run on its own.

@danzadrummer

You're welcome. It seems your way is way simpler than mine. as you can see there are many approaches to every situation. It seems I over complicate things
