It depends, take a standard condition, if candle ID1 high should be above MA50, and you check this at the open of a 4H candle, but it's not, then 5 minutes latter it is above, but your EA wants to wait 3hours 55minutes before checking again, so you would have been better to wait for the condition to be true before activating the once per bar block.

It depends on whether you want a block only checked once per bar, or after something happens. I use both depending on what I want to happen.

@AlexisC25 Backwards, at the top, means it will check once per bar before the next blocks, so any that are false means it will have to wait until the next bar to be checked again, at the bottom all blocks are checked, and then when all are true, once per bar is activated before blocks that are always true.

Using Fibonacciposted in Tutorials by Users
I keep seeing people asking about how to use Fibonacci, although this is quite specific to someone's requirements, I will add an MQL4 shared link on how I use it (MT5 is the same). This moves high/low to a new top and bottom in trend, then moves as price moves while constantly moving Fibonacci to match.
I hope this helps people.

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.

The choice is yours, the chances of your project being different to what has been seen before are very low. I was trying to help other wise create each section separately and try to replicate the problem.
