I have worked out why it did not work as expected, was to do with, on FX sometimes if you save something wrong, it then won't work when correct, so I closed/deleted, and started from fresh. This time all worked, I then recreated and changed a few words to be able to switch Algo Trading back on, I will add this code below.

1 = SetAlgoTradingFo(true);

2=#include <WinUser32.mqh>
#import "user32.dll"
int GetAncestor(int, int);
#define MT4_WMCMD_EXPERTS 33020
#import

(this is the same deactivate)

3= void SetAlgoTradingFo(bool falseTrue) {
//--- getting the current status
bool currentStatus = IsTradeAllowed();
//--- if the current status is equal to input falseTrue then, no need to toggle auto-trading
if(currentStatus != falseTrue) {
//--- Toggle Auto-Trading
int main = GetAncestor(WindowHandle(Symbol(), Period()), 2/GA_ROOT/);
PostMessageA(main, WM_COMMAND, MT4_WMCMD_EXPERTS, 0 );//Toggle Expert Advisor button
}
}

(is slightly different to disable and I called this block a different name)

ctrl x in your download folder, ctrl v in your MT4/MT5 folder, this will move the file to where you want it.

If you search indicators you will find the info needed, but basically add the indicator on FX (MQ is easier but you can use EX), get the buffer value and test, using blocks on the on tick tab.

MT5 is the same, try and take pictures of what is happening, past here and we'll see what is happening.

That tutorial can definitely help, Miro has lots of very good help on here, bear in mind though this uses candle ID's, so every new candle, it goes out of sink by one.

Need more information, an EA will do whatever you have instructed it to do

I have added a tutorial on how to add a countdown timer: https://fxdreema.com/forum/topic/19107/this-is-how-to-create-and-display-a-candle-countdown-timer

You will need to take each section separately, ORDERBLOCK, FAIRVALUE GAP, and TIMEFILTER, create separate projects, and then once working add them all together, as @l-andorrà has said this is ambitious so bight size is the way to approach. (The time filter is easy there is a block that will do this)

@laudemir Good question but I assume you would have to redraw the whole block every time the colour needs to change. You could also draw the text individually with a draw block.

Start your project and add a shared link here, say what isn't working and people will help you create.

Add a shared link to look at, if not working though try and recreate from scratch.

Make a start on your project, add a shared link here and say what you are trying to do...

candle 0 x< lower band, place buy. This is in standard condition blocks

Place a shared link to look at, the on trade tab will only place a trade when something happens, you likely are using a block that constantly passes when a trade is created.

Just looking at this 1 block, you have a variable trying to save into a constant, this will never work. Strip this back to 1 thing, and then when working you can add other conditions, and keep doing this until all is working.

In market properties you have the option to find the highest price in 7 candles.

Try long, have never struggled with double though.

At the top of most blocks, you have this option. If it doesn't work as expected, add a shared link and say why.
