If I understand you correctly, this may help

@ewole This is not gonna work this way as this is not the way to extract the prefix or name.

How many lines where you expecting to have on the chart at once?

@sirboyce Hello,

Is this what you need?

@willzed Hello,

What is the aim you want to get out of this? is it that you reach a certain amount of profit? If so, then the simplest thing you can do is is to use the following:
Unless you had something else in mind?

@ewole

There is something that I don't understand. Why did you place a variable in the prefix/name? This looks correct except that there is nothing that shows what changes the variable names. Did you think that by placing the variable in the draw line block, the EA will save the name in the variable?

@jpsam Hello,

In many of the settings you can click more and find time frame settings

@lali
Hello,

Part 1: Place a delete pending orders before the pending order itself. I believe this is what you need from what I understood.

Part 2: Place a variable in the volume field and with each trade add to that variable. 2 things to keep in mind though which are the block numbers be in order, and that you will need to place block 11 somewhere in your strategy where you want it to reset the lot back to 0.01

@ryuzaky Hello,

Here you go.

@kevdiaz I thought that you wanted virtual SL that doesn't appear for the broker but only appear on your chart. That was what I explained. However regarding the SL being highest price of the previous candle for a sell order, just use the normal sell block and in the Stop Loss drop down menu within the block, use custom price level, choose candle, then choose candle high and in candle ID place 1.

@ed_h i totally agree

@ed_h Hello,

I'm not sure how helpful will this link be: https://mqldiscussions.com/t/how-granular-is-the-past-data-in-mql5/423
I tested your EA with open prices, every tick and every tick as real tick and your theory is correct when using open prices or every tick. However every tick as real tick seems to be more accurate to real world conditions while the former models have some kind of emulation from data collected at the m1 time frame and that is why you see different results.

I personally don't think that this difference should make or break a strategy. In the past I made EAs the worked sooo well on 1 broker and were ok on another. Backtesting on MT5 different brokers will show you how much different broker prices are. Even though they look small, some strategies break because of these minute difference.

@ewole Hello,

Depends on the options you choose but sometimes you need to have a name and at times it's a prefix. so the variable can be either double or string. If you share the work it would be easier to see where the error is.

@kevdiaz Hello,

You can just set a Stop Loss and activate Virtual Stops.

@didymario7 Hello,

Try the following. If you want to wait for the candle to close, I assume you precede with a once per bar block.

@doz Hello,

I'm not sure if anyone here can help you out except the owner. I can tell you from experience that he does reply to emails although at times, it may take some time. I can see from the transaction date that your payment was made yesterday and him not replying yet seems to be within an acceptable time frame. Sending thousands of mail in one day may only complicate matters and turn your emails into spam.

I have found that Paypal doesn't work directly and I will need to pay through FastPay. FastPay seems to automatically take care of the subscription and add it automatically, however I'm not sure how it's done with crypto. Which payment method did you use?

@hein8010 Hello,

Place a variable in the lots edit field of the buy block, then add a formula after the buy block which adds 50 to that variable and will equal that same variable.

@gozey I'm really not sure what to tell you. It was working with me and I only followed the steps that I have mentioned above That is really strange

@gozey yes in MT4 strategy tester. Do a backtest and see what shows up

@gozey None of the two indicators is working? can you open the journals tab and see if there were any errors showing up?

@zedeai2 You're welcome
