Is anyone else experiencing intermittent outages in the last 12 hours?

@l-andorrà Sorry for the delay and thanks for your offer. The advisor is triggered by an MA cross either above or below. I want it to buy when the MACD main is above the signal line and sell when the MACD main is below the signal line.
I have enclosed the file and screenshots.
Blocks 2,8,11 and 15 are all the same
Blocks 18,23,26 and 30 are all the same
Block 31 is the reverse of Block 17
Note the EA title is incorrect as was an earlier version

@andrew-4 thanks Andrew but that is not what I want

@l-andorrà Thanks for your reply. I have a simple ma crossover strategy that dictates buy when indicators cross above or below and another oscillator is signalling buy. I have tried making two condition trees for buy so that the EA will buy regardless of whether the cross is above or below but that has not worked.

Is there a way of triggering a trade regardless of whether the cross is above or below and close trades in the same way?

@roar
thanks I have been away and will try this

Hoping someone can help with this one please
EA based on opening and closing trades based on crossing levels in this indicator. I have enclosed two screenshots showing one sell trade which does not open or close on the correct signal. Sell and close details enclosed as well

Ok I appreciate your input - guess I thought that backtesting under these conditions would more closely represent live trading conditions. The strategy I am testing would not work if I had to use Shift 1 conditions as these are very short term trades and make no sense with a delay of one bar

Sorry but even on your example I can see two trades not correct and I have enclosed another example

thanks again but still not trading in accordance with the indicator

Thanks for responding - I have enclosed the mq5 file0_1576186753375_20191212Stochastic(3).mq5
Please let me know if you need any more information

Some additional information - setting Candle Index to 1 did not fix the problem. Not only are trades taken in the wrong place but there are large areas where no trades are taken at all!

This EA is missing the trades by a long way and I cant see why - it is pretty simple

Buy when base line crosses signal line and sell the reverse. Close trade on opposite.

Replying to my own question for the benefit of anyone else having the same problem - adding no position and if position has stopped trades closing immediately

I am using a simple MA cross strategy with the close as a reverse of the open but the trades close on the same bar as the open even though I am using Once per Bar

thanks Roar I will try that but shouldn't the once per bar solve that issue?

This EA is not trading as per the conditions set ie buy and sell on Stoch Base Line crossing Signal Line - any ideas gratefully received - thank you

thank you - I have since changed these to Close positions and no longer have multiple trades on one bar

There must be a trick to this but I cannot get my EA to make just one trade per bar - help please

thanks again - have done what you said and works perfectly - could not find this any where else!
