Hi guys,

Any current known problem with the heiken ashi indicator on the fxdreema platform for MT4? It doesn't seem to be behaving the way it usually does.

For instance, that simple EA should play a sound each time there is a bullish HA but it doesn't. (The wave file is in the proper folder and works with another EA)

test HA.mq4

How do I set the initial value of a flag on the init tab?

The set flag block alone doesn't seem to do the job

@tec-nacks Thanks! I believe that should work

Hi all,

Is there a block that allows to detect which symbol is on the chart?

I trade both EURUSD and USDJPY. I would like the EA to play a different jingle depending on the symbol on the chart. Like it will play eurusd.wav if EURUSD is on the chart and usdjpy.wav if USDJPY is on the chart.

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards

Philippe

@fxdreema Can you share the Heiken_Ashi-Smoothed indicator?

@bsinclair : could you finally make it work?

@l-andorrà I checked with a regular candle and the EA does what it is supposed to do.

I find it hard to believe that it is the indicator itself as it is the standard MT4 heiken ashi indicator. More likely the way the block processes the heiken ashi outputs. Probably a bug within the block.

What can we do?

The problem I have is that trades are placed even when the conditions in blocks 138 and 148 are NOT met. Looks likes these two blocks are not doing their jobs.

It's not infrequent that they have no tail (tail = lower wick for bullish candles and upper wick for bearish candle) and the "exactly equal" shouldn't be a problem.
What could be the reason that trades are placed even when the conditions in blocks 138 and 148 are not met? I don't understand.

Thanks l'andorra.
I corrected the assymetry between 138 and 148 and block 148 is now looking at bear candles: https://fxdreema.com/shared/qkRygnMDc

I agree that using "exactly equal" could be too restrictive and might lead to very few trades. However the problem remains that the EA places trades at each and every candle regardless of whether high=open or low=open condition are met.
I don't understand why this is the case.

Any idea?

I could finally figure it out. It now works.

I want to create a button that changes the stops of all opened trades.

I first tried this: https://fxdreema.com/shared/Ue1wtOkM. Problem is that only the stop of the last opened trade is changed. The stops of other trades are not changed.

I then tried this: https://fxdreema.com/shared/BFzFXfWbb. Nothing happens when I click the button.

I am trying to create a simple EA that goes long when previous heiken ashi is bullish and has no lower wick (low=open) and goes short when previous heiken ashi is bearish and has no upper wick (high=open).

The EA below goes long when previous heiken ashi is bullish even when it has a lower wick. And similarly goes short even when previous heiken ashi has a upper wick.

What should I do to prevent the EA from entering a long when there is a lower wick and entering a long when there is an upper wick?

Thanks for your reply.

I am a bit confused. What is the "for each trade" structure?

I am trying to add a candle trailing stop to the following EA: https://fxdreema.com/shared/UPpWniYqc (see on Tick tab)

I want stop to be trailed to the low of the previous candle for long trades and to the high of the previous candle for short trades.

I tried that EA and stop is not trailed...

Anybody can help?

Thanks my friend. I highly appreciate your help.
I will try that when the market reopens on Monday.

@fxgump

I now have another problem. I created two buttons: buy and sell: https://fxdreema.com/shared/TwOv9FHte

When I click on buy, it places a pending buy

When I click on sell, it also places a pending buy instead of a pending sell...

@l-andorrà

Thanks a lot for your help. Seems to work.

Hi,

I am new here and having difficulties to get started.

I want a button on the chart that I can click to place a pending order just below the low of the previous candle.

Here is what I have done so far: https://fxdreema.com/shared/SRcdAUX4b

No button appears on the chart... I would be grateful if someone could help.
