I believe these are the other errors.

@mcvinbabas Hello,

This is the first error I saw as I'm going through it.

@ladydolares Hello,

Are these buttons the buy and sell buttons on the chart or are they buttons by another EA?

@fenixtrading Hello,

This already exists. This is an example where this block will filter and start trading from the 5th day to the 25th day of the month.

@tho401 Hello,

Try this out. (blocks 3, 4 and 5 are an example of a trading strategy.)

@nehemiah7

As you can see, there are three different conditions here where each condition opens a buy order, but what I did was that I used the Turn ON and OFF blocks in way where you will have these conditions run in order and not run at the same time.
So if condition block 7 ran and a buy order was opened, the next condition that will open a trade be block 10, and if that condition was met and the trade was opened, the next condition that need to be met is condition block 18. if the 3rd trade was opened the whole thing will reset and go back from the beginning.

Now block 7, 10 and 18 ( the condition blocks) can be your 3 different trading signals.

@nehemiah7 Hello,

This example shows 3 different conditions that will run one after the other.

@gozey I think that there is something missing here. What is your exact requirement? Do you happen to have your whole strategy figured out and just need an exit idea?

@laudable222 Hello,

Could it be that the 5 pips are not enough when relative to the spread size and broker minimum limits? (To test and see if this was the problem, use -20 instead of -5 and check if the problem persists or actually the higher value fixes it)

I would say you should place these pending orders relative to the ASK and BID prices instead of the candle close price which is actually the BID price in most cases.

@tho401 Hello,

This seems like the right way. Unless your (if trade) block is not customized for that trade. How about you replace the (if trade) block it with a (pass) block or just delete it since you already have the two trailing blocks connected and they will run alone.

@esteban_d Hello,

I would use the (Counter: pass 'n' times) block and i would place it after block 5 probably. that would make sure that this loop will pass 3 times only. In this case you can also reset this counter if you want. I don't remember ever using the (Loop: pass 'n' times) block, but my assumption is that you may also need to place it after block 5.

I hope this works

@tulefi Hello,

There is a way that may work that requires the use of variables but will not reset upon a crash.
Let the EA draw a vertical line through the current candle as soon as a trade opens, and after that, by constantly modifying a variable with the candle ID of this line, you will always know how many candles ahead you are.

@carlosun Hello,

Try this out where the (turn off) and (turn on) blocks will turn on and off the trading blocks you have in your EA.

@gozey Hello,

In my opinion there is no best way and it all depends on your specific strategy. In general you may wanna try a trailing stop that will actually exit the trade as the market reverses.

@saeed-2 Hello,

Most of the time you should not use the symbol == as the price jumps around and may not be actually exactly the same price as the BB indicator. Use <= or >= instead.

@gozey Hello,

It depends on exactly what you want but this is the simplest form
