How to display number of trades

[drankman]

Hello,
I am trying to build EA where it also displays the number of lots, number of trades, current profit and current drawdown.

However, it didnt quite work yet, as it displays wrong data as screenshot below where I tried to use it on my demo account.
for instance, the number of lots is not correct and the profit is also wrong.
Could anyone help?

Here is the project: https://fxdreema.com/shared/0z3fYx9Cd

Thank you!

@andrewfrank In here you can see how to achieve, have made a few adjustments.

@jstap Thanks a lot!!

I tried it on my demo account and I still found errors..

1. The total lots does not update it as the new trades added..
   and also there is an extra "0" somehow.. I dont know where it comes from (see the brown arrow)
2. The total profit is always updated when it adds new trades. However it has 2 lines and the total profit is basically the sum of these two lines..
   (0.93 - 0.13 = 0.80) see the red arrow

@andrewfrank Possibly a number thing, try set the bucket of trade numbers 1st (go project options and normalise block numbers first), make two trees and see if this helps, never tried with profit but bucket of trades for lots I have and it works.

@jstap Also something I just thought of, maybe you need to set the trades it's looking for.

@jstap Thanks!
it works now

[drankman]

@jstap Thanks and since it works according to your instructions..
I have another question.
I'd like to put the profit in percentage, which I did. However, I'm wondering how to minimize the number of decimal?

[jstap]

@andrewfrank This will do it, just make sure the block number is after, the number is how many digits past decimal point.

[drankman]

@jstap Thanks!

Did you mean like this?

or like this:

But somehow both still show too many decimal points..

[jstap]

@andrewfrank Like your first picture.

[drankman]

@jstap
Somehow the first one still didnt work. it still show too many decimal points
Also the second one..

[jstap]

@andrewfrank Try this, not sure if will work but the NormalizeDouble normally does, use the new variable for the comment.. If not maybe @fxdreema can help.

[drankman]

@jstap I tried that one.. but now it didnt show anything...

@fxdreema maybe can you help`?

[jstap]

@andrewfrank The normalizedouble is working correctly,

blocks 168, 169 & 171 are the ones creating the other numbers https://fxdreema.com/shared/DTi8JUZjd
I have created a buy and sell for temporary just so on back test results can be seen. You don't need to create a new object each bar, just redraw so numbers change, create variables for the numbers with too many digits and normalize. Everything should work then.

[drankman]

@jstap Ok Thank you so much!
I'll try using this ..

[drankman]

@jstap I have another question.
How do I customize the title for each currency for alert message or phone notification?
For example, if I set EA on EURUSD, it will also display the currency, such as "notification EURUSD"
or if I set EA on EURGBP, it will also display the currency, such as "notification EURGBP"
With the setting below, it only display the "notification" as I put the title

Thanks in advance!

@andrewfrank You need to use a combination of variables and information, use text (code input) and add like this- Symbol() in a variable will put the current asset into the variable, any text in " " can be added, so for example "TRADED PAIR "+variable 1+" "+variable 2 in text code will put this info into your notification, probably, "TRADED PAIR "+Symbol()+" "+variable 1+" "+variable 2 would also work

[drankman]

@jstap Thanks!

I set it as you explained it. it worked.
since I put it on tick, it alerts every tick. do you know how to set it up so maybe it will alert only once (or twice..)

[jstap]

@andrewfrank You have to decide, a condition block so you only get an alert when conditions match, once per block so every so often you get an alert, there are many options the choice is what suites you.

@jstap Ok. Thank you!
