Hi,

Great looking indicator - https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/28998?source=Site+Profile#description

There was a solution to using it in MT5 on the forum, but this no longer works:
https://fxdreema.com/forum/topic/8392/custom-indicator-buffers-in-mt5

I contacted the developer direct. He cannot help as he does not know fxDreema.

Has anyone got this to work on MT5 again?

Thanks.

@miro1360 Hi there - I followed your instructions for this indicator setup in fxdreema but it did not work.

I wonder if it has been updated since you posted.

I get the error code 4001 in Strategy Tester journal
"unable to load indicator file"
My indicator is in the correct location for the custom indicator to reference.

Are you still able to use it successfully on MT5?

Thanks

Nice one @q8carpenter . Appreciate your input, it has been a real help.

Thank you @q8carpenter for the response. Checked the link out too.

Have you ever checked out Darwinex's videos? They are very informative:

I think I am coming to realise that I was testing scalping methods that should be looking more at every tick as real ticks for testing.

The higher the timeframe and the longer the trades/larger the required pip move, the more accurate the other strategy tester models will be - I tested my shared EA on higher timeframes and the results were closer.

What I take from your response, is that if a strategy is robust enough small differences in Open Prices Only vs. Every Tick as Real ticks shouldn't break the edge (if the strategy is appropriate to test on OPO that is).

Plus there are such variations with brokers price data in live markets and requotes/delays in execution this can be detrimental but cannot be tested. So only in live testing will the truth come out as to if the edge is true.

I have searched extensively to try and see if this was already answered.

In terms of how ticks are delivered, I have studied and understood the 4 different models for MT5 strategy tester. Great videos by Darwinex on this. I am missing something obvious though.

All condition blocks set to candle ID 1.

The EA should only trigger on the 1st tick of the new bar of the timeframe being tested, and look back at the previously completed bar of the timeframe.

I share an example where I got the profit and loss calculated from the open price of the in trade loop and the prior candle close (ID 1).

So the trades should produce exactly the same results for Open Prices Only, and Every Tick as Real Tick.

Why when looking at the visual tester does the stop loss get triggered at different points on the 2 different models. I would have thought that since the EA is setup to only be activated on the first tick of each new bar, and the profit and loss are only calculated on the first tick of each new bar, the 2 results should be identical.

With once per bar I thought it would only allowing the same single tick through, whether that is open price only or every tick as real ticks, so then it should close at the same point and the number of trades should be identical.

What am I missing to not understand the difference in results?! Thanks.

Ah nice, I'll have a play. They should do the trick.

Thank you so much @vonmunchy!

Thanks @vonmunchy, I had a search for the threads - they didn't seem to specify my problem but I will search thoroughly and ready through more.

I will follow your instructions and see how I go.

The issue is not the ATR Multiplier functioning, but when the ATRMultiplier is less than a certain Stop Loss, 10 pips, 15 pips, 20pips etc., I want the S/L to be the minimum pips and not the smaller value reached with the ATRMultiplier. I also want this minimum pips to be a constant so I can vary it in the optimisation stage

Thanks for taking the time to respond,
Ed.

Hi all,

Beginner but loving FxDreema. Heaps to learn.

I would like to make a condition that the stop loss is placed at either
a minimum number of pips
or ATR*ATRMultiplier
or the Swing High/Low prior to entry
Whichever is the larger value.

I have made the ATR Multplier using the constant and applied that correctly.
I cannot make the either/or for the Min Stop Loss.
I used Min Stop Loss as a constant to optimise.
I have not tried the swing high low because I failed with the S/L Minimum

My attempt:

Thanks for your assistance!,
