Nothing looks out of place, if used with MT4 I would expect it to work.

I explained it above, in MT 3 = 5, because it is looking for the fractal symbol, which only appears after 4 but on ID 2, so wait for ID3 and it is a guaranteed 5 candle set up.
You are saying it didn't work but you have an arrow on the same candle, TV will never be the same as MT

Set the candle ID to 3

This works on a 4 candle pattern, but it will react on ID2, meaning it has checked ID1, 2, 3, 4 fit the requirements, if you set to candle ID3 then you will be using the 5 candle setup, 5+4 high/low are above/below 3 & 1+2 are opposite to 5+4, so by looking at ID3 you find this fractal, and if it turns out to be a false signal, it will have disappeared

To create a timer - once per second set to 1 - add 1 to a variable
Reset as necessary and check with a condition block

As @l-andorrà has said these do not appear to be in the normal blocks?
These are options that you would select depending on your bot setup.
None = no stop loss
Fixed size = a fixed distance but unsure what value this would use
% of grid size = a level in between each open price
Custom level (same for all orders) = whatever price level you add to the corresponding box
Custom level (SL = ask-level) = whatever the current ask level is what will become the SL level
Custom Pips = whatever number used will become the SL pip distance between the open and SL
Custom (price Fraction) = how far away SL to Open using the price of the asset

Data is market data, it may be slightly different on different brokers, but for example, XAUUSD has the same price movement across everything (weather futures or CFD), so the real difference is how your platform interprets and uses it, futures are not 24/5 like forex.

On chart won't work on tester, for this, you need to use on tick, condition block, object on chart, button pressed/depressed == 1 - buy/sell (complete action)block - redraw button off

That would mean you can use the button drawn on init in backtest ensuring it is switched back off if used

A backtest for 21 years with a starting balance of 100000 and a blatant equity drawdown, means a bad martingale setup. One that can be easily created, but one that most people already know is not worth the trouble, and a fake low-risk picture on your backtest just makes it even more worthless!

@小强 Start a fresh question mate. You are better off doing this on the opening of the next, once per bar will work on the 1st tick of a candle.

I do not know how you would do this, the XL file may contain relevant data, but it will not tell the MT platform to place a test trade.

Yes but a cross x> x< happens once, not constantly

Yes on tick, normally under a once-per-day block with 08:00 set inside.

No, I don't use Chrome, I use Windows/Edge and I just download and use, the actual file needs to be opened in MetaTrader

The problem will be with == price will rarely = an MA price because of the relevant tick causing the price recognition level to skip past it at the relevant microsecond, try using a cross setting (x> or x<)

I think l-andorrà has already given an answer, although it is a pain the increased support would mean increased costs for all

You can use the backtest function, you will need a pass block on init to draw,

If you add a shared link I will have a look

You have this on the on trade tab, move to on tick as on trade only works once a trade is running

live or back test?
