Hi All,
I started building this and got myself into a twist (I'm reasonably experienced with fxDreema). Could some wiser minds steer me right? From a high level, how would you go about building the following...?
Each time the RSI(5) crosses [above] the 50 line I want to make note of the highest point (this being my High1) before it dips back below the 50 line to make a new Low. I will then start trade execution when price breaks my High1.
So I gather. So are we saying it's not possible to just 'Modify position' of the original order? I don't want a new position at current market price, it throws out all my workflows. I want to be amending the volume size of the position that was opened furthest away from current price price. Seems like a simple thing to do, no...?
How about the pink block 'Add to volume'...? If I use a negative number in there will it reduce volume?
Hi jstap. But I won't know in advance what position sizes I want, so that doesn't work for me.
So is it not possible to 'Modify Position' and replicate how it is in MT5?
Hi all, wondered if this was possible in fxDreema? I can see the close partial block that closes and re-opens a new position (presumably at the current market price level) but that doesn't suit my use case.
I want to 'Modify Position', reducing the lots volume, just as you do in MT5, leaving the position where it is.
Thx for any help.
You know what, this way of closing partials really isn't working for me. The new position (miles away from the original open) is really throwing me out. Is there a way to mimic exactly how partials occur in MT5? i.e. the volume of the original order is simply reduced, but the open price etc. stays the same? Is this possible with fxdreema?
Is it possible to reference the original order after the partial close? (Without opening orders with group numbers)
Yes I see, my problem is getting worse 
I figured the above out, I have managed to establish my biggest loser (using a little loop and variable, then a condition) but now my problem is...
I have blocks that close profitable trades in 400 pips profit, but it's also closing these partials based on the new, partial trade, rather than waiting for it to be 400 pips in profit from when I opened it. Oh dear. Any ideas to get around this?
Thx jstap. But in my use case the volume to partial close is variable (variable set). What I really want is... at the time of closing Trade1, search all open positions and partial close the least profitable. i.e. is there a way to search for and identify the least profitable, to then close partially? I can see that close partial is only possible with the pink block, in the loop, so I'm playing around with that. Any help appreciated...
Hi jstap, thx for reply, but don't quite understand... so to find the least profitable trade out of a group of trades (in a bucket?), how would I do that? Would I use the in-loop block or something?
Morning all, struggling, need advice...
If I have several long trades open and I want to reduce the volume of the least profitable one, what can I do?
I can see the Close Partially block (in loop, pink) and the Close Least Profitable block (blue), but I'm not sure that'll do the trick. The Close Partially block states that it closes the original position and re-opens a new one with the new volume. But would that be at current price? Or the original Open Price? Confused.
Thx.
I continue to have this problem, causing me nightmares. I have stopped copy pasting from other projects. But do I have to stop copy pasting from within the project? Any other hacks? It feels like a re-fresh/cache issue...? Any tips?
But if I understand correctly, if I wanted to use OHLC testing, I should have 'Once per bar block' above every process in my fxDreema canvas...? And design my strategy so that it only trades at candle open...? I then wouldn't care what all the in between ticks were doing, I'm just making my decisions based on OHLC, right?
Hee hee :} Good to hear. I will play with ADX maybe, also could just define my own range, say highs and lows of last 20 candles and use that. For the time being I am using my EA semi-automatically, already a massive improvement on my pre-fxDreema days
I assume that the Once per Bar block processes only on the first tick of the open? I'm quite happy trading off of that. So if I use that block in my EA I should be able to replicate OHLC testing results in live/demo...?
Hi all,
I know that this questions isn't vanilla fxDreema but I'm hoping some of you experienced hands may be able to help - re back testing my EA.
Clearly there are huge differences in results between back testing using OHLC and 'Every Tick based on Real'. My strategy is catching small pullbacks on the 1m XAUUSD in the NY session i.e. when price is really moving. But it only opens/closes trades after a candle close. I'm not concerned about all the tick movements within the 1m candle, just so long as the OHLC is correct. My orders are also a good few pips away from these points too.
Of course I will forward test, but do you think that back testing on OHLC (or even 'Every Tick') will give me a sufficient idea as to whether the strategy is worth pursuing? It's just that everything I try using 'Every Tick based on Real' turns to crap, even when manual review and logic suggests otherwise.
What is your opinion?
Regards,
Martin.
Hi all,
I have worked out how to set a variable 'switch' to control only 1 trade per ema cross (for example). But my orders are pending and some will expire and when they do I still want to be 'open' for as trade.
So what I want to check is number of Closed positions since the ema's crossed. I have set up a variable to be modified when the cross happens but I'm stuck on the next bit, how to search for closed positions since that time... and if >0 then no trade.
Thx for help.
I have successfully managed to re-draw my SR lines when each new fractal is formed, but...
My trading strategy is to look for small pullbacks after a breakout of either a) a period of consolidation or b) the break of a previous major swing level.
I thought fractals would be a good tool for this. But what I've got actually is lines re-drawing too frequently at every minor pivot/swing level, so if my logic is to enter only when resistance is broken, it kinda never gets the signal coz there's always new resistance/fractals forming.
I think it's difficult to define what a breakout/break of structure would look like. When I trade manually I can just see/feel it and at the moment that is what I am doing, I have a semi-automatic EA.
Anyone got any ideas on how to resolve?
See screenshots for the kinda idea... the first image shows SR lines nicely set up, but in the 2nd image you'll see the lines have followed upwards and I lose the signal for those 2 little bear bars.
sorry image uplaod was error... trying...
