Non no you are not missing anything, I like the simplest options best

when I am using it it returns 0, while I apply your calculation it should retrun 0.03

1% of 1500 = 15/500 =0.03
which would be an acceptable lotsize as my broker accepts 0.01 as the minimum
but instead it trades 0.01 as it interprets 0.03 as ZERO

when I look at the source code it seems you use MathRound, whihc would transform the 0.03 in ZERO
while I would have used Normalizedouble with 2 digits after the comma so it retruns the 0.03 lotsize

Do I make sense? Do I misuse the intented use? Or should I change my parameters?
Thanks for your help

Yes
It is a ugly square shape not related to the comments
but it serves my purpose, I am sure there are more elegant and better ways.
But this is a quick easy fix for me

Looking forward to the android...

Another quick question
are we allowed to set a fractional pip in SpreadFilter for the Fixed Spread Value?

What is the easiest method to count the number of bars that ended up positive and negative over the last 25 bars?

Okay so I checked a bit more

my marginrequired is 500
so in your calculation

you take (% of balance* balance)/marginrequired
which would be 10% of 10000=1000/500 =2 lots

Now if your balance is smaller lets say 1500 and your % 1%
1% of 1500 = 15/500 =0.03
which would be an acceptable lotsize as my broker accepts 0.01 as the minimum
but instead it trades 0.01 as it interprets 0.03 as ZERO

My guess is that you use MathRound a bit to early
I might be (probably am) wrong, but just trying to help

I have a problem with the lotsize settings, these are my settings

It always returns 0, so I keep trading 0.01lots

any suggestions why it gives a answer of 0 every time

yes Stopped message appears, which is nice if you just disable autotarding but I would prefer the whole message dissapears when I remove the EA, otherwise it messes up my template, I get template with a fixed message spread equals such and such and status: stopped everywhere ;-(

For notifications, in my opinion it does NOT work with new rows, just one line of text limited by number characters,

If the little bit refers to object creation
On init I created a custom block: with

ObjectCreate("LabelBox1", OBJ_LABEL, 0, 0, 0); ObjectSetText("LabelBox1","g",200,"Webdings",SteelBlue); ObjectSet("LabelBox1", OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 0); ObjectSet("LabelBox1", OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 2); ObjectSet("LabelBox1",OBJPROP_BACK,0);ObjectSet("LabelBox1",OBJPROP_CORNER,3);

and on deInit

ObjectDelete("LabelBox1");

which removes the object on removal of the EA

it gives a block in the lower right corner

Hope this helps

Thanks for the once per bar fix, works great!

Some other suggestions:
Very minor annoyances (not urgent in any way)

** when I select a variable to become an external variable, would it be possible that it shows up in variables overview, in the right top corner? That way I can reuse it in other places easily, without creating an additional variable

** when I remove the EA from the chart it does not remove the Spread Calc Message, and EA is working confirmation, would be cleaner if it is removed on deinit

** sendnotification function, but I believe you are working on it already

** ability to add the result of a condition to comments

** when I add comments I prefer to add a background, so the text does not get obscured by other chart objects
I have a added a custom block to add init and one to deint for respectively creating and deleting the object
I can send you my code version if wanted.

fxDreema thanks for the great support and the excellent product, I am finally able to create working EAs and flesh out my trading ideas easily and quickly! I will continue to use to understand your product even better.

I will keep you posted if I find other wishes

Cheers

I want to take the square root of a value
so I was wondering if anybody could show how to realize this ?

I have one variable that I want to square root ith the number of open trades

So if my variable is 1.5
and open trades are 3

the square root would be 1.51.51.5=3.375

the original MT4 function is MathSqrt I think

Thanks for your help

Thank you
I feel a bit dense :-@

I will try this, and the pips away from open price even allows for double sided/absolute distance!

I will try, thanks

Could you give me a suggestion how I can set a minimum distance between the opening of consecutive orders?

In short when I just opened a buy order on 1.10000
The EA should not open another order unless it is at least 10pips away, lower or higher

any suggestion how I can create the blocks to get this done?

end of day, became this morning
but as far as I can tell, the once per bar function works perfectly now!

THANKS

I was trying to display in Comments the current trend

for example
the condition CandleClose(1)>CandleOpen(1) is true

on the commnet screen I have a message saying CURRENT TREND IS BUY

it is only cosmetics

Well title says it all I believe..
I guess I have missed something (again)

Thanks for the help

That sounds great!
So I recompile my EA and test for once per bar

I will confirm at the end of day

Thanks

I know it is a bit weird
but I would really appreciate if we can figure it out
this renko has two exceptional functions: you set the size of the flip, this takes out a lot of whipsaw, and you can determine the size of trend confirmation, so if price moves with the trend you can set a renko bar to 100points(10pips), have a new bar create when price moves with trend of example 20point (2pips), but only a countertrend is created when the bar flips 100%, so a reverse of 200point, 20pips.
This allows me to trade price directly on the chart without an additionla indicator, this indicator takes care of smoothing and whipsaw

Anyway, before starting to use your incredible tool, I did some MQ4 coding, a lot of copy past of course,

I used the following to assure my EA only executed a certain block once per bar, which worked
can I just create a custom block for this, if yes some help would be appreciated

// on global
int thisbar = 0;

//then within a certain block
void do_trend()
{
if (Bars != thisbar)
{
thisbar = Bars;

// declare some function

}

Bars just simply counts the number of bars in history and compares to my value
if different we execute, is same we dont execute

Hope this helps

Yes very strange i Like them
Just so you know the BrickStepTime function does not wrok properly, just set to false
If you want I can send you my template, let me know

considering the times, if they are the time of the previous bar they are correct, I think the indicator writes the times and open and close prices at the closure of the bar,
but within the current bar my fucntions, I send a sendnotification after a once per bar, and it gets executed every tick or at least very often

I think it just allows for one row, so I send a new textmessage for each trade action or a change in trend

As you mentioned the number of messages is limited per second and minute. In my experience if you abuse the messages are queued and arrive later, as such losing their significance, but it does not stop or gte blocked completely

Great!

I imagine using sendnotification as follows

But it would be WAY BETTER if we also have the option to parse all the information available in Alert besides a simple text message
For example when a trade closes I like to know that trades profit and total profit for the day

I dont know if there is maximum of characters to a push notifications

Thanks

sendnotif.png

I have been trying to create a custom block, that I can simply attach to another block so that when that block is executed succesfully a notification gets send

My current sample, does send my push message to my phone
but I cannot figure out how I would have to define so I can input custom text whenever I attach a new SendNotiication block
it currently sends "snd" all the time ;-(

Any help please, anybody?

my current definition in the attachment

has this been solved?
