EA based on custom indicator not running
-
Hello Fxdreema,
I have read instructions on previous posts about inputs and buffers of custom indicators and how to use them. I've downloaded this custom indicator and done all that I think is needed. The input and output parameters are all captured by the EA, and the indicator is in the "/indicators" folder. however, the EA could not be executed. What is wrong? Please take a look https://fxdreema.com/shared/kI3W49q5b and tell me what I can correct to enable the EA run. Thank you! -
probably this is wrong ... you need do it another way ...
start with using Trace block to view price levels from indicator buffers on the chart (to view values) ... -
Trace block? Pardon my ignorance. Kindly let me know what it is and how to use it to achieve my aim. Thank you for your prompt reply!
-
instead of pending buy block place there Trace block (its name is really Trace) ... and set here your indicator to view, where are values placed (on which price level) - in visual tester .. to see, if you are working with correct values ...
-
@miro1360 I saw the Trace block, used it, still nothing happened! The EA was still not opening! https://fxdreema.com/shared/zED4QSW3

Now I have no idea what these mean, and how to correct the errors. Please offer some assistance. Thank you! -
add some name into this parameter:
but look, you are hardly trying to do something with bad way, what can be done in another way, easier way without custom indicator ...
what I am thinking, you are trying when ADX cross happens, so try this:
-
Thank you so much, at least for the prompt response and willingness to guide. The problem is actually not with the names, because I have added the names to those lines, still the EA cannot open on chart; its just there, not active.
And in truth, I am NOT WORKING on, nor my strategy based on ADX crosses. My strategy is based on Pivot points/lines, S4 to R4. Fxdreema has really tried so hard to update the builder with various kinds of Pivot point calculations; this should have been easier for me, but for some reason I cannot explain why the builder's calculations for Classic pivots do not tally with my manual calculations when applied on chart. I have tried to call his attention to this. I guess he's rechecking his latest pivot inputs, otherwise I cannot explain why he is yet to respond to my latest post on Pivot calculations (after 5days). I'm still patiently waiting for the response while my one month subscription runs out!
The EA cannot run because, I guess, some parameters needed to have been first "defined". I don't know how to do that, I suppose the EA should have done that itself.
This is the grand project I'm working on https://fxdreema.com/shared/pjmwl7PK
Some parameters like TF (timeframe) and others in the pending order blocks 2, 3, 7, 14, etc, needed to have been predefined. How do I do that so this EA can run? -
send here formula for your calculations I check it ...
and what you sent me project, I can not open it because I dont have your custom indicator ... you need send me this indicator
without it I can not open your project ... -
Here is a copy of the Custom Indicator
https://www.mql5.com/en/code/download/15777/all_pivot_points.mq4The formula used in the calculation of Classic Pivot Points are:
R4 = R3 + RANGE (same as: PP + RANGE * 3)
R3 = R2 + RANGE (same as: PP + RANGE * 2)
R2 = PP + RANGE
R1 = (2 * PP) - LOW
PP = (HIGH + LOW + CLOSE) / 3
S1 = (2 * PP) - HIGH
S2 = PP - RANGE
S3 = S2 - RANGE (same as: PP - RANGE * 2)
S4 = S3 - RANGE (same as: PP - RANGE * 3)Where R1 through R4 are Resistance levels 1 to 4, PP is the Pivot Point, S1 through S4 are support levels 1 to 4, RANGE is the High minus the Low for the given time frame (usually daily).

I come here later, now I need to go offline (I must just before but :D)
... and here is how you can resolve your problem with "errors", change first few parameters in your imported custom indicator in fxdreema MyIndicators manager, exactly to this manually (in data type):
but again, you are working in your project with buffers, which values must not be in your requested time as true values for opening order (when is here at 08:00 not value in buffer, EA can not open order with "EMPTY_VALUE" because empty value can be something weird, like big number) ...
for this you need filter this time, or on top give some condition which compare this value from buffer if exist (like buffer1 < 300 && buffer 1 > 0 to be sure, that price is from this limit)
....or just wait and I look at pivot points that are in fxdreema, if their are calculated right as you typed here .... but you need wait for this reply few hours (because I am now offline)
-
Thank you so much. I've effected the corrections, the EA is now active; but, just like you said, no pending orders are opening yet because of buffer. I will await your response when you come online. I really appreciate!
-
as I have not found bugs in fxdreema integrated pivots, here is solution for you how to calculate pivots based on formula which you posted in post above ...
calculate it like this:
https://fxdreema.com/shared/mJqHifx5ddont forget define variables:
and make sure that calculation of pivots is made first (first block number of pivot calculation is 1 or lowest, as in example project) ...
pivots are than stored in variables pp, r1-4, s1-4 and you can work with these variables in your next blocks, like open prices etc .... -
You're simply amazing! Thanks very much for your help. First, I hope I could renumber these example blocks, because block 2 is missing? But then, on a lighter mood, I wonder where you got all these seemingly hidden blocks in the builder, I have never seen them nor used them! Under what "Category were they hidden?" They seem to be "custom Blocks". Your help so far is appreciated!
-
Does the Block 14 (Pass3 visual test) refer to Block 3 in the example, because I have renumbered the blocks? Or does Block 14 refer to the 3 blocks of 1, 3, and 4?
-
"missing" numbers are not important, important are only top blocks numbers, this is how is connections order working:
blue is order, and next colors are blocks runned in each blue order:
somewhere in help you can find next explanation for this ...and the blocks what you mean as "hidden" are not hidden, it are normal blocks in fxdreema, but they are only renamed (right click - rename) (I left original name in begin of this block) .... only "Custom MQL4 block" is little special, because here you can type own "math" or some functions, working with variables in text, etc. ...
