Are you 100% sure the ask price never went below the open price? Your ea works tick by tick, so even 1 tick of low ask price triggers your buy.
Remember, there is usually some slippage in the order, you don't get precisely the price you wanted (when buying the market price)

This is how I would do it.. Hope you are comfortable with variables 
Oh, yeah, that connection is not very clear in my picture
I'm fairly sure you can put as many spaces as you want, if its a math operation
@drayzen oops, youre absolutely right, the IDs go in the wrong way in my example. I should sleep more

Here's the fixed blocks, but I'm sure you already got the idea.
Hello!
Maybe some loop works, like this:
It first looks for candle ID 1, and then compares it to ID 2 and then ID 2 to ID 3. If conditions are not met, ID 1 becomes ID 2 and the loop continues from there until it finds what it is looking for.
Be careful though, loop like this doesn't have any "expiration", so if it doesnt find what it looks for - your metatrader crashes. Thats why I put block # 6 there, to limit the loop.
You're welcome.
My own opinion: previous trades can't affect your future ones, they don't have any valuable information to the new trade entry.
This is also why I don't use fixed targets, I always open and close by the chart analysis and nothing else.
You need to learn variables, and use 2 of them:
one variable as a trigger (for example, "trigvar=1" when activated and "trigvar=0" when deactivated)
and other variable to keep track of time (on every bar, "barcount=barcount+1")
To stop your process: if "trigvar=1" then check if "barcount > 4" -> if true, "trigvar=0"
It probably looks difficult, but I trust you will find how to do it
You just need to have a connection to somewhere. Alone blocks don't execute.
Just put a pass-block before or after the draw.
Sure, here's how to create the variable and how the logic goes.

I dont think any EA has access to the terminal behavior, I might be wrong though..
Your problem probably is because your broker doesn't allow super-small stops - try some bigger stops, does them work?
Another workaround would be to use virtual stops - don't tell your broker the stop levels, just use some variables and automate the closing in the EA.
You need a variable to remember the earlier events, lets call that track.
This same method applies to all objects:
Your metatrader probably doesn't use that format, "EUR/USD" - its usually "EURUSD"
So, what is the problem here?
I think tp=0 means no tp at all.
Do you have any blocks controlling the exit, a time limit for example?
I think this will work about right:
Notice the different "route" for exit - if your exit condition was after the buy, the trades would close instantly after opening (or not at all).

Try working with candle id 1 instead of 0, maybe that helps.
In my opinion, that macd arrow is probably some simple calculation anyway, so it would be easier to just work with the default MACD indicator
Does it give any errors to the journal?
