By shadow you mean wick? Create a project doing the first part, then when working add the second. Use backtest and add a shared link if something's not working.

Maybe a higher power computer, but simply is just waiting. In MT5 you can pay to use other processers on there network.

This is a lot more than what you need but it will show you how: https://fxdreema.com/shared/zIUg2ME8e

This will show you how to achieve: https://fxdreema.com/forum/topic/20550/save-variables-constants-if-terminal-closes-crashes

If trade is running use that, if not save the values in a global variable: https://fxdreema.com/forum/topic/20550/save-variables-constants-if-terminal-closes-crashes

Sort of, but what is this modify doing?

So up to a certain block it works, remove blocks and backtest, then add a block and backtest, then add more and backtest. By doing this you can find a single block that's causing trouble. Ask here if you find something not working.

Recently I have seen many people asking how to have the EA to remember the values that were used before.

This link will show how to achieve this, this is for constants, but a variable can be stored in the same way, and MT5 is the same:

might not work as needed, see below

I had a thought that in a crash this might not work, so I added variables and set them to amend oninit

I don't mind helping, but chat GPT is better at explaining code than me, if I add code to my project I do it one section at a time. Everything you have here you don't need code for, and your last project nearly worked. When I started using FX I would create 1 thing, then backtest before adding another. Get 1 thing working, and if not ask why. As you did, so start by removing 1 of your sell blocks and see what happens.

Add to volume creates a new trade, so you need a sell block or an add block. One creates a parent trade and the other a child trade:

biztet has a good point, if the 1st is still running you won't get a second, in this case, use 2 no trade blocks with different groups.

Use global variables, if it is just a constant, condition constant != to global variable - set global variable to constant. Here is some workings with it: https://fxdreema.com/shared/7yZetp7Dd

I am not sure why this does not work, although at times this once per day has not worked for me. Try using a time filter block, and setting the time to a 1-minute range, like start 09:30 and stop 09:31

Then you need to set the group in all blocks:

This does, the -1 is because only 1 cross has happened: https://fxdreema.com/shared/gP74GFdic

yes and is the same for sells, because the code in fx assumes + and - are reversed for sells:

Put that code in one of the variable boxes (white, orange, gray), put the variable in a comment and watch what happens.

In a buy if you make the pips offset a - it will place a limit below the current price.

It is quite simple, if the price is at 1000 and you place a buy and sell at 1050 the bay will be a stop and the sell will be a limit, if you place a buy and sell at 9950 the buy will be a limit and the sell will be a stop

Not really, on your chart you have a bid and ask price, this is how your broker makes money, buy or sell, and when you open a position you are at a loss. Whether a limit or stop the trade will open in a loss, so a buy will open at the ask even though price is on the bid so you have to cover this distance before you are in profit.
