@TipsyWisdom not the ones I've been in. Plenty of resources to "do better" without another controlling interest. If I need $ to do better it'd be an equity only relationship.

I am trying to figure out how to read and store the maximum volume reached in a particular timeframe and compare that to the volume of the current candle in the same timeframe. does FXdreema have this ability?

I dont use MT4 for backtesting and my symptom as indicated in using MT5.

When using the strategy tester to backtest multiple pairs configured with the "set current market block" the tester seems to only be using market data from the single pair configured to test in the tester. Is this also the case when the EA is loaded onto a single chart for trading live or will it source each pairs market data for all the pairs in the "set current market block?"

@l-andorrà
my issue wasnt related to active pairs in market watch. given my current project the placement of the output of "set current market" block was being blocked from improper placement.

does not seem to work at all. connected at the top level or otherwise and with any combination of fx pairs.

@l-andorrà but often a divergence in candle appearance to volume type will occur for the candle in question. The idea in differentiating between bullish and bearish volume is to be ahead of price direction before it occurs. For example, decreasing volume shown as bearish after higher volume shown as bullish in the previous candle will nearly always signify a change to upward momentum. I am looking for bearish candle types to pair with previously shown bullish voIume as one of my entry conditions. I just don't see a way to read the volume type.

I am trying to set a condition to distinguish between beariish and bullish volume. So far is seems like I can only set a static or a variable value for how much volume there is but not differentiate between bullish and bearish.

Didn't know that!

@jstap yes the debugger tells me what and where but does not tell me how. letting chatgpt re-write the code widdles it down but my homework to discover why and how is definitely required. going to attempt to type it by hand and compile along the way.
