thanks. I better stay with mt4 as long as possible.

Your last (today) changings to the builder made my EA not working (Grid-EA SF full-auto v1.6). My imported backup from my HD is also not working after downloaded again.

It seems I need to convert one of my EA's from mql4 to mql5. What would you suggest to do that. Have I to build the EA block after block from the very beginning?

Thanks. Much faster now. The "If testing" block is very helpfull.

I would like to make my ea faster on backtesting. Do you have some general tips? Is it better to connect blocks one after another or if it is possible to connect them parallel to each other.

Thanks. That was it. Optimization is working again. Drawed lines are working on backtesting but not on optimization.

Well, you are not God but maybe God is inside you... :).

It seems you don't have understood me correctly. EA is working on live demo and on backtesting as expected. The point is that optimization is not working. I was assuming you could look at the relevent pice of code and fix it.

Just do a quick optimization on some parameter and then do a backtest on the same parameter. As for me it seems that there is something "broken" that is responsible for optimization because the ea itself is working. Isn't it possible to verify the relevant code?

It is not necessary to understand the strategy or indicator.
My intention was to make you able to verify (for example) the following:

take parameter grid_spacing = 50 and then = 60 ->
make a backtests (for example GBP/USD last 6 month) ->
you will see backtesting is working ->
than make an optimization start 50, step 10, end 60 of grid_spacing then you will see no results or differnet results to the backtested ones and you have verified that there is something wrong.

And now the question is what is wrong. There are only 131 blocks, this is not that much. Does maybe the "if testing" block makes some problems?

An example makes no sense because it seems the problem is only with "Grid-EA SF full-auto v1.4". I have attached the bug free Kolier Indicator. Now you can try to backtest and optimize yourself.

Kolier_SuperTrend_Indi._13mq4.mq4

sometimes there are no results where results should be and sometimes there are same wrong results on different test values. Optimization on some demo ea's is working as expected.

It seems optimization is not working correctly on my EA's. Generally and on other EA's optimization is working correctly. What could be the reason for that?

you are right, it was the disabled pass block on "on init" but only there. The disabled pass blocks on "on tick" were turned on.

Thanks so far. I have to test ea's on live demo now.

'Ok, but why the buttons of my backup v1.2 ea from my hd are working correctly? Did you have changed something the last weeks? The pass block there is also disabled but the buttons are working.

I will verify that tomorrow.

If it make sense to make an example and It could help to explain what I want I will create one as in my last issue about loading the last lot size into a variable. But This time the Button was working and is still on my HD backup working but not if I download ea. All buttons are not working. Something has crashed. I was assuming you could verify the "connections" or the relevant code pices to make sure there is everything correct.

Well, how can I help you to localize the problem? What example do you expect, as for me it makes no sense to create an example.

The disabled pass block you have mentioned will be enabled on "on tick" look inside the block "Turn on blocks" upper right corner (136). I have already mentioned that.

Grid-EA full-auto v1.4:
the operand issue I could solve (my mistake int, double mismatch)
regarding the button issue:
there are two button blocks on "on Init" and "on chart", there is on "on tick" the block 227 and block 211 witch turns on pass block on "on init. Usually the buttons are appearing after I have changed the timeframe. For example H1 to H4 then the buttons usually apear and are working as expected. But now nothing is happening. I don't event touched these blocks what is wrong here?

Grid-EA SF full-auto v1.4
the same like above. Buttons are not appearing. The on "on tick" relevant blocks are 960 and block 136 witch turns on pass block on "on init".

p.s.
It seems it is a builder problem because my HD backup v1.2 is working correctly but the downloaded v1.2 is not working. The buttons are not appearing. Something is not working maybe because of your last changings to builder.

Well, what would the Qeen say: We are not amused about that. :). But it is ok for now, in case it become urgend to have that I can use integer variables to solve that problem.

But I have another issue. My Button on my EA "Grid-EA SF full-auto v1.4" is not appearing. On version 1.2 the Button is appearing and is working correctly. I am sure I did not change anything around the Button. please, could you look over and make it appearing and working again.

p.s. the Buttons on "Grid-EA full-auto v1.4" are also not working. Did you have changed something. Operands *, / on adjust field are not working.

Ok, thanks.

Could you explain me in more details how and where to cut after point digits? I would like to have 3 digits after point for some variables. I know there are functions but I don't know where and how to use them.

I have a question regarding the "no trade nearby" block. When I select "around the price" (value is 50) does that mean +/- 50 pips or +/-25 pips above and below the trade. Is it only the last trade or any trade nearby?

It seems to working like I need it, thanks.

I have found a possible solution for my issue some postings ago but it is not working as it should. The problem is that the values of variables are lost when ea was restarted.

https://fxdreema.com/shared/pQ8moLjYb (add manually buys and sells for testing)

The intention is to set the variables to the newest lot size after setting constant to "1" . This part is working fine but after setting constant to "0" (turn off) the default value of the variables are returning. The intention is to keep the loaded lot size and than ea should work on with the loaded variables.

Why the default values are returning? The variables got a new value. I don't understand that.

I can understand you very well, no one knows what will happen in the future these days. It's OK.
