@talalkhan Looked at your post again, it still doesn't have the stop trade conditions like I showed in the above picture, add this, if it is still not working post again and ask about your specific problem.

That is not a link that is the mq file.

@talalkhan It's no trickier than what you have done, as is when EA put on chart TRADE is set to false, when condition met it's set to false, when is this set back to true? I see no condition for this. You can set terminal variables from 1 if all are using the same platform, not a simple thing and sort a single EA before trying to work with one controlling others.

Need more information, how many trades per layer, does each layer interfere with trades placed on the previous layer?

@talalkhan sorry mate I know nothing about using leverage in lot size.

Ok but to me, it is not a layer it is a trade with a double lot

@talalkhan
1,2. use condition block with a bool constant to decide between the two options.
3. Use pink for each trade block then pips away block (- = below) (+ =above) with the buy/sell underneath.
4. Never used martingale but you can use a condition to switch off/on certain actions.
5. Pink blocks will give you pips as an average for buy/sell then have a close under a condition that is activated when average pips is made, the blue blocks will also do this for you.
6. This can be done by taking the balance at a set point in time, /100* the constant percent, if equity matches this number all trades are closed, trading is stopped until it's reset.

Ohh I see, this makes sense now, either is fine now I know... no disrespect meant

@talalkhan Put in a separate tree, where you have the constant for buys replace with the variable, use the constant for sells.

I think l-andorrà has already given an answer, although it is a pain the increased support would mean increased costs for all

@talalkhan You either have to use an if trade block above, this will stop a group until the first group is active, or you have to create another name for the next group condition so you can switch off/on separately, (the #9 condition can be copied and used elsewhere)

YouTube or in my book

@talalkhan I think you want to do this?

I am not recommending a better 1, just that you do not use it to try and trice people. Backtest with a 1000 account and see if you can replicate the results, also 20 years is too long for reliable results...

@talalkhan Don't need if trade, you need to check profit average.

@refaey True, but how it performed in 2008 would show how reliable it would have been, without using years on either side to cover the drawdown.

@mmbinvest Count every time the buffer changes, this will show you if can work, if not you may be able to use object on chart but is more difficult.

pink blocks, for each trade - if you want the price in a variable, modify variable (in loop) trade/order in loop (using this principle, you can get and use this value in many ways)

@talalkhan Something like this

Start by stripping out the close, get it doing the basics first. Personally, I would set up a 2 block project just to get 1 thing working, have you got values in the data window?
