OK, will do the test and let you know over the weekend if it worked.
Thank you for now.

@jstap
thank you.
Unfortunately the market is closed now.
I runned it on the strategy tester but I believe that is not going to work there properly since one of the condition is referring to the server time.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

I appreciate you reply.
I followed your suggestion, however EA did open a new position immediately after adding on the chart and did not wait for the next candle to open.

Any other thoughts on this issue ?

Hello All,

What I try to do is to move my SL when trade is in X pips in profit.
I know which blocks to use and how to connect them but none of the functions that are available count correct profit results in pips. They move SL very well when the BID is at X distance from the open price but for some reason all of the functions skip current spread. Therefore sometimes they not moving SL when I'm in profit or moving it to soon due to the high spread.
So the question is how to move SL when trade is in profit that includes current spread ?

Hello Forum,

So I basically don't want an EA to work straightaway when applied to the chart.
EA should start work on the first tick of the next bar that opens.
Can someone assist me with a solution please ?

@jstap said in ICUSTOM WRONG PARAMETER COUNT aftre del. INPUT & EXTERN:

@archer Try this, create a variable and add this to a custom code block:

VARIABLE = iCustom(NULL,0,"name of the custom indicator",0,0);

in your platform run the indicator and open the data window , starting at 0 count down until you get to the number of the data you want, put this into the penultimate 0, make sure the created variable is of the same type.

OK, thx. Will try to figure it out

Hello everyone!

So I'm trying to build an EA based on the attached indicator but I keep geting error 'iCustom' - wrong parameters count.

I looked through the forum and there was one suggestion to delete all the words INPUT & EXTERN but it did not work.

Can someone please help me and make it work ?

Hello again

So I'm trying to build a very simple EA that will open a new trade when the new / next candle opens on the current time frame + some sort of button visible on the chart with sell / buy option.

Once the trade is open I'll deal with it manually so I don't want EA to do anything until sell / buy button is pressed once again.

I've tried many blocks so far such as "once per bar", "every n bars", muliply conditions with candel and price option but everything that I've creaded is not doing what I want. Same when it come to the sell / buy button.

I'm new here and willing to learn so I was wondering if somebody would be so kind and provide me with some guide regarding the issue above ?

@l-andorrà said in HOLO Trade:

@archer Not sure what you mean exactly. What is the 'new lower open of the day' means exactly? Are you comparing today's lower with yesterday's maybe?

I compare today's lower open with today's previous lower open that occurs on the 1h time frame.
So if the new candle on the 1h time frame opens below previous today's lower open is now a new lowest open

Same in regards to the highest open of the day.

Hope that is clear enough now.

If not, please have a look on the attached picture.

Hello Forum!

I would like to build a very simple EA that opens a new trade when the new lower open of the day occures on the 1h time frame and the another one when the new higher open happens also on the 1h time frame.

I looked through all the blocks and options available in the builder but I can't figure out which condition is responsible for defining newest open high and low.

Can somebody help me with that please ?
