once per bar needs to be under the condition, the cross needs to switch on the once per bar, otherwise the cross may happen after.

show your workings with a shared project, these are in the standard blocks, a buy set below price would be a limit

reset daily is once per bar set to day, once per day doesn't work as well because once per bar works on the first available tick/ there is no reset line block, I mean reset the value, redraw the line, change the variable...or whatever changes it for you.

there is nothing obviously wrong, disconnect some blocks and test until you find which one is preventing from working as needed.

To reset everyday use, once per daily bar - reset line

this runs on backtest for me:

use once per bar, set to 5m and 1 hour for the job you want to do

You can do it with this code, create a variable called Distance, the price is relevent to what you are using:

MQL4
price1 = 1.2345;
price2 = 1.2350;

// Calculate the absolute difference in price
double difference = MathAbs(price1 - price2);

// Convert the difference to points and store in Distance
Distance = difference / Point;

// Optionally, you can print the value of Distance for verification
Print("The distance in points is: ", Distance);
MQl5:
price1 = 1.2345;
price2 = 1.2350;

// Calculate the absolute difference in price
double difference = MathAbs(price1 - price2);

// Convert the difference to points and store in Distance
Distance = difference / _Point;

// Optionally, you can print the value of Distance for verification
// Print("The distance in points is: ", Distance);

I may have seen this error before but not recently, not sure how I resolved

Put the variables into a line, then backtest and watch to see if visually it doesn't place a trade when it should.

Show in a shared link: project screen - projects - create a shared link - open in web - copy address bar and past here

skipping ticks will stop the blocks below from working for x ticks

Glad you enjoyed my book

on the right side of the project screen, you have a button depicting a spanner

settings, click on the spanner symbol

Add a shared link to see what you have done

I am not sure what you are trying to do with your delay, your conditions should always work as the left and right operands are the same, I assume this gives you a buy and a sell once per candle

That way will do it, put the result into a comment to see if what you are getting is what you want
