Yes, I don't think you need them. is all working?

.....Yes

You are welcome

If you struggle, add the latest shared link and say what seems to be not working

By having close under your buy like that means if a trade is opened it will immediately close. The problem is you have a vast amount to go through, so (probably) no one can say what would happen if ran, but logically all seems good. (this is from MT4 but) on backtest, if you have MA 200 on 15m chart, then to test the tester needs to rum for the time of 200 15 minute candles. So you can test this, but you will have to wait for long enough.

Then add this, no trade - switch on, tell me if things are working

Put the once per bar under your condition

Do you want the block the block to switch back on?

For each trade newest to oldest 1 will give you the last trade to get the value

Use pink blocks, for each trade - check profit - buy sell or don't, you could also sum all the running trades, then switch a flag to allow/disallow new trades

......ok

if group 1/2, and no group 3/4 check condition and the running value - open group 3/4 trade?

then you need a loop (pink blocks), check trade value, then act if needed.
Will be something like this: for each trade - check profit - once per trade - buy/sell

In account in most blocks you have profit, this is the current running trades

Do you mean 7 & 8?

Generally the on tick block is unnecessary on the on tick tab, I do not know about the delay block, I think it stops the terminal, but you would have to test to see what it does

The name you have probably doesn't matter but the 0 does on meta trader MA's do not use a 0 number, replace this with a number greater than 1 and it will likely work. Rather than typing the name right-click and add, although you can write, and add code there, right-click eliminates problems. Thank you for your comment on my book.

Yes it does, by meta trader logic 1 should not interfere with 2

On MT4 live you can get the magic used to place by hovering your mouse over it.

If you create the block in the link on live/demo the algo trading will switch off, once working test on 1 minute, with a small time difference. Magic numbers won't make a difference because nothing on the terminal will work, just make sure no EA's that you want to run are on the platform
