@l-andorrà Is there a way to store the opening candle’s id? Is there a unique number for it? That would help if it was possible!

I want to do this:
If current candle is 5 candles away from opening candle, do some action

@jsauter86 even as a value it doesnt

My "brik" value is the candle body size

Noob question, how do I add the variable to the condition block?

Perfect thanks

Is the value greater than? Or is it the exact number?
What I want to achieve is that if I’m Atleast 10 pips away from open, I trigger another block to do something.

Thanks!

On the screen I want current data to be shown.
These specifically:

• pips in profit/loss
• MA value

Thanks!

For example, my opening candle's MA value is 5, 24 candles later, I want to compare that MA value with the opening candle's value. How do I do that? Thanks

@l-andorrà Yes. Did some backtesting too and it's working the way it should so far

I have a modify stop, with value of an indicator of the previous candle being the stop loss.

However, I want to store values and only modify the stop loss if it hits this condition:

If value of candle 1 > current_stop:
modify stop loss
else:
Don’t modify stop loss

This is what I have set up currently for modify stop

@l-andorrà Yes

@l-andorrà on MT4 though I have a live Renko chart and on the data window it displays the correct price.

Ok but let’s pretend it’s not a Renko. I just want the previous candle’s low as a stop loss. What should I do?

@l-andorrà I’m trading on a Renko chart.

I tried breakeven point but it only allows for fixed pips or % of SL/TP
Would Trailing Stop do the trick like this?

Thank you

I've been testing a bunch of different EA's and found that my exits are what's causing my high loss rates.

One thing I want to try testing out is this strategy but I don't know how to set it up.
When a trade opens, set a SL of 5 pips.
When the trade becomes profitable by 1 pip, set the SL to breakeven.
Then when the trade goes up another pip, set a trailing stop of 2 pips.

This is what I have so far but not sure if this is the right set up.

Why is it changing directions though? That's my current obstacle unfortunately. Then from there i'll be experimenting with pip sizes

For example, a buy order, the new stop losses should only be going up right? But when watching the open trade, it goes both up and down. Why?

Here's what my trailing stop looks like

@l-andorrà it’s actually on the on ticks tab.
I was just trying out on chart stuff to see before I made the link
