Pause a "pending order".

[kiwi789]

Hey.
I'm trying to pause a "pending order".
If there is a bad signal then I will stop trading until the signal is good again.
I have tried "Block OFF & ON" but a "pending order" has no block number.
Does anyone know of a feature that can stop all trading temporarily.
Yours sincerely
Kim.

You can use a 'switch on/off' variable on top of your trading tree to do that on the 'On tick' tab. When conditions are met it is switched on and the opposite when they are not.

@l-andorrà
Thanks for your reply.

Do you mean a Variable function that can switch on / off blocks !!! or have I misunderstood? I can't solve it.
Maybe you will make a small screen example.

Another big problem that I have now encountered.
"Trailing pending orders"
That trailer both ways. (up and down)
Can you define it so that:
"BUY pending order" only trailing down, and
"SELL pending order" only trailing up.

Pardon.
I found out about my "Traling pending orders" problem.
I just have to apply "STOPS" (not limits and stops) and it runs the right way.

But I still have problems with "Variables"
I have never (many years) been able to figure out the system in V1, V2 ..... (green) and P1, P2 .... (blue)
Attached print screen.

Do you have any more guidance than what is shown under "Examples". I found it difficult to understand the context. Probably very simple when you just catch it.

Again.
I just want to make sure I've explained myself correctly.
I want to be able to stop and start a trading tree (part of the robot), MANUALLY while trading and robot running.
As I can see, the only way I can change the robot while it is running is to change a "Constant" value in the "Inputs" schema. I can open and change it without stopping the robot.! It gets registered in the robot.?
How do I do it best.

@kiwi789
The V1, V2 things are just a lazier way to use the variable in the quick window. These are the same thing:

Difference between white and orange: do you want to change the variable before the main block does its thing, or after that.

If you want to manually interact with the EA, I guess you should use some button objects and the "on Chart" section in the builder. Thats not my expertise, though

[kiwi789]

I have found a solution.
You can change the value (1 or 2) while the robot is running.

Still can't understand Variables V1, V2 .... F1, F2 .... the system.
Just there were some more examples.
What appears under "Examples" doesn't make me wiser.
