Coud you finally fix it?

You should use the green block 'Once per bar' on top of your project. That way any future action to be executed will wait until next bar to do it.

Ok. Thank you.

You should use the block 'Terminate' (grey colour) after all of those conditions. That will run out the EA.

You need to use the 'Indicator appears' block. As easy as that. But before doing it be sure your indicator doesn't change colour depending on bar. Believe me it happens too many times.

Can someone please confirm the project does work properly? I tried three MT4 platforms: Admiral Markets, GKFX and FXCM and it doesn't. I tried on demo accounts.

@fxdreema
Did you try on a demo account or by backtesting? I tried two different broker's MT4 platforms and it doesn't work on demo. No matter what I do, not a single tick is skipped after I run the EA. Can you please tell me on which platform did you test it?

Thank you very much for your suggestion. If the block can't do what I want I will certainly try your structure.

I added a 'Pass' block at the top, but nothing changes.

Undoubfully, Tick Data Suite 2. Simply the best.

That's a good question. I tried to use it at the most simple level and not a single tick is skipped.

I'm bery interested in someone solving our common problem.

You need to specify the candle ID if there is no value of the indicator for candle 0 (i.e. the current one). Maybe this is why there is no value.

I have a thread asking for exactly the same ;).

I tried this simple example and it doesn't work.

Not a single tick is skipped no matter how many seconds I insert as a constant. Am I missing something?

You should separate both 'Trailing stop' and 'Break even' blocks from your current structure. They should be considered as a parallel command group like this:

That way, whatever happens first will be applied. Be aware thar the number of the block is important here. Break even point should have a lower number (2 in my image) than Trailing stop (3 in my image).

That should help.

Does this block stop other blocks after it? I mean that they are apparently blocked beyond the time period specified.

Could you please share your project? Looking at the mq4 without having acces to the indicator doesn't help.

Because EAs are supposed to take advantage of a pair's behaviour (volatility, time on trend, spread, etc.), not the opposite.

Thank you for your suggestion. That's an interesting alternative to what I'm trying, but I would like to be sure I'm understanding the block correctly before changing my project.

Can you share your project, please?
