Because you would need to apply a template on a live chart

Apply template doesn't work on backtest, would work on a live chart though

You could use the draw block, but this isn't the same.

Don't know if you can, possibly on init apply template, should work on live/demo but I have never tried

Purple position created (set to all trades), Pink blocks for each trade (set to all trades) pink modify stopes, (all on, on trade tab)

I have a template with the exact name as my EA, when I test the template loads, for live/demo right click and add the template

Explain more of what you mean?

Then you need to start with that, once you have the IDs you can work with that, there is no simple method or indicator that can do this

Have you got the candle IDs of A & B?

Ask any question and I'll help you with what it does, there is too much to try and explain it all. In most blocks, you can select RSI indicator, the value from this is the current line value

If you search the forum you will find lots of info on this. Generally draw button off oninit, read button ontick, if on activate a close block, and redraw the button off

You can save the price when trade is placed in a variable, or get the value in pink blocks separately, save if needed, test and add a new shared link to see what is happening if not working

You'll have to check this, thank chat gbp if works:

pass block - comment block showing the relevant value, write something in the label for it to work

I think I should have used + not -, put these values into a comment to check if you are getting a relevant value, and then use a process of elimination to work out which block is causing the issue.

Google is how I would search for it, you can use the EX file but if the values aren't in the data window you can't use it.

What I will sometimes do is, value 0 adjusted to +MaxSpread pips

@Chandler As @biztet has said you will need to get these values and work with them from the standard indicator, or find a custom indicator with buffers. If no data is in the window, then FX cannot get the value

I think it's probably
ENUM_APPLIED_PRICE
PRICE_CLOSE
Not 100% sure but I think I have seen that icon before with enum types

You don't need the pass block, they just need to be connected. I do not know how you would delete MAs
