This is my method of using Daily Drawdown (in percent) which then closes all trades and prevents further trading until the next day. Many users have unknowingly helped me along the way so here is a small gift back to anyone who may find it useful. This really comes in three parts.

1: on Init - Run daily drawdown calculation (used when you apply the EA to a chart, otherwise the calc wont grab)
2: Once per day, run daily drawdown calculation and turn on trading (block 1)
3: On tick - Check equity if equal or below balance calc, close trades and turn off trading (block 1)

There are some extra options in my setup, a counter so you can visualise daily drawdown hits in testing and also terminate terminal (if set to true). You can modify this to work as max profit for the day also.

If you want martingale, try following Boxxocode's videos for an idea of what you might have missed.

You can check the error more deeply by exporting the mql5 code, opening the language editor and go to that specific line of code. It will at least give you a block number a few lines of code up which correlates to you blocks on fxdreema then.

update: once in language editor, compile the code and it will give a list of errors for you to follow.

Turns out it was way simpler than I realised. Simply putting then like this works, they add up and I should be able to use this to prevent people using my EA with all the indicators turned off and risking their account.

You want to pay someone or what? you need to explain more no one can read your mind.

@l-andorrà If you were refering to my "indicator is visible" post yes I am sure it will work, i confirmed this with a simple comment test block on the true or false side of the block.

I dont fully understand @s00071609 's solution but it looks good also.

Nice to know I can implement a basic news filter though into my EA and avoid some big events.

@l-andorrà @salek i actually have custom code for fxdreema to fix this problem, which requires running a script at the exported mql5 which then replaces the incorrect code within the ea. You then compile within mt5 directly.

I made a post a long time ago about the correction using custom code but I could share what I use here if you wanted.

Stop loss in percent, equity percent etc then work correctly on all forex pairs, index’s and also commodities like gold.

@salek You mean you just simply want a working % lot calculation? If so there is a solution but it requires custom code.

It does not work on gold or some pairs, gives incorrect lot size. There is a fix but it requires installing custom code.

I downloaded the latest FXSSI and exported my FXSSI News EA and it still functions correctly. I am not sure what is going on but it must be user error. Sorry.

I will check it's function and update it the EA when I can, you have to install and run the indicator on the chart as well though not just the EA news code.

Use a VPN?

@Taho_Trader I think the below method is simpler / easier.

You can use a grid with a stop loss, on the first trade put the stop loss price into a variable.

Any new grids, use the variable stop loss price so every trade has the same stop.

You can specify the stop loss is x5 of your take profit for example so only 5 trades will open or control it on pip distances or ADR values whatever you want.

@Lacone how much ram usage is happening when testing in the task manager?

CPU wise there should always be at least one or two cores not being used.

Also ram should be max 98% during the tests, if the ram runs out or all cores are used it can cause problems.

@l-andorrà how many blocks does your ea have?
