______Thanks for your reply

However Close trade block doesn't cause the trades to close immediately (It's something acceptable in real version which would allow trade to earn enough profit).

I don't know if you tested the example: it opens nearly 30-40 trades back to back without closing any.[/quote:1sxrzgl4]

I am sure, that your idea with open/close trade is not ok. Because in other words, you are doing this: in the same time, you close trade when condition for close is true, and this situation make true your next condition for open trade (because no trade exist), so you open/close/open/close/open/close...trades .... what you need to do for your logic, can be add some condition before "open trade", this condition can be negative condition from close trade :D[/quote:1sxrzgl4]

But if you look at the print screen you would see that there are open trades back to back regardles of no trade block. I mean they are not closed and opened back to back... Maybe my logic is wrong I don't know, but if there is a no trade block and and there are 40 trades something is definitely wrong. Maybe I don't know the logic behind the blocks completely...[/quote:1sxrzgl4]

yes you are right simultanously opening, so I checked your logic again and this is result:

1. No trade (parameters Buy and Sell)
2. if No trade == True --- Open Buy
   ... and here you have opened Buy trade, so new tick and next to logic:
3. No trade (parameters Buy and Sell) ... and this is important, No trade will be true, if Buy or Sell not exist, it means that one of both can be enough to make "No trade" true, and you previous opened only Buy, so we continue:
4. if No trade == True --- Open Buy ... next buy is opened ....

and here can somebody say about parameter "Buy and Sell" means that "both of them make it true" but it seems be that one of them is enough, so better would be rename it to "Buy or Sell", admin, what you mean? ... but ... hard to say

so I suggest you to avoid using this negative form of logic and instead of that you can use this form of logic - positive logic and its output compare to true or false:

or if you will stay with block No trade, better if you set parameter in this block to "only buy" .. or "only sell" .. not both

and again, in block is "Buys and Sells" and in code is "Buys Or Sells" - so I was not sure about this and for this reason I am using this block only for "only buy" or "only sell" ...

I might give this a try when I have a clear head tomorrow - what you did here definitely makes sense. Thank you very much for the idea!

the first one is with bad connected blocks, this one is closer to reality:

nice work
I am not tried this, but you can, this way working in OnTimer:
https://fxdreema.com/shared/xdSGKe0ad

you are working with "trade" - trade is result of order (order can be created, modified, deleted, etc.)
you can try to work with block "Order created" (in this block are separeted settings for pendings) ...

I have seen files much larger as you mentioned and was working great, so it is not file size issue.
If possible, your friend can recompile his project with same metaeditor version as your matatrader.
If .ex file exist and will not give you settings window, most often it is version incompatibility (if placed folder is right - indicator in indicators, expert in experts, etc).

you can work with "Once per bar" block and in this block you select your prefered timeframe

__So this can be used to stop EA from trading for a certain period?[/quote:390w9c1t]

yes, with few conditions you can do this

__oh yes the answer why I first set a TP and then I delete this. In my trading-idea I am looking for hammer in DAX. Sometimes a hammer starts a big move, and I only get a little part of this move. So first I set a TP, and when the PAR SAR works, I set the trailing stop on the PAR SAR and delete the TP.[/quote:17v83jqy]

ok so you need working in onTick section, here you can try delete TP when you set to 0.

__Thanks a lot for your time and responses

It would be great if you can add sleep or pause blocks in the future.

you can do your own count with minutes (hours etc.) easy,

1. you create variable to count, lets say minutes count, so your variable: int variableMinute=0
2. you place block "Once per bar" and set in this block timeframe M1, this block connect with another one "Custom block" and here you place: "variableMinute=variableMinute+1;"
   now this block with modify variable will be executed once per minute and variable increased +1 once per minute (minutes count)
3. another group of blocks is your condition where you compare variableMinute

see this example here, it executes 1 trade every 10 minutes:
https://fxdreema.com/shared/fYIkHbZ8c
(dont forget, variableMinute is defined in Variables)

__... (but I should add some)...[/quote:208gbq4r]
that would be perfect

is possible he needs delete TP only if "his special condition is true"?
I have not this tried, but you can try set TP to 0 with blocks: Trade created +(your conditions) if true + For each Trade (set not more than 1 trade) + modify stops (here you set for TP 0 and for SL without change)
(place this in on Trade section)

try this: blocks 8 and 5 place into on Init section and delete it from on Tick section

easiest way how to visualize higher TF is use of "MTF Candle indicator" - you can find through google ... of course, if you will indicator for this TF, google for MTF indicator ... when you start visual testing, place this indicator into your chart ...

not all is working perfect
something like:

__hello
I have an custom indicator that send email when two 2 MAs are crossing I have it so the email can be sent on the bar or next bar, I would like to open or close a trade once the alert is sent...how I do I transform my indicator to an ea.. or creating an EÀ with my indicator..thanks[/quote:15rwiply]

you can do this crossing MA directly using fxdreema without your custom indicator, because all blocks are ready for this ...
Use block Condition (set MA crossing) and after this use block with filter (like once per bar or once per minutes etc) and after this connect block Send e-mail

1. first you make your EA in fxdreema with this way:
   in constants define one that can be in future changed to your enum, so you define constant:
   int MYmode = 0

2. and now you continue in creating blocks - you can with Condition compare logic:
   if(MYmode==0)
   //if true - orange output pass, if false yellow output pass

3. next Condition compare next logic:
   if(MYmode==1)
   //if true - orange output pass, if false yellow output pass

if(MYmode==2)
...
etc. ...

4. you generate mq code with fxdreema, after this open your code with MetaEditor and do this:
   you write in code your enum structure, need write it in top level - in place where is #property, or functions (not inside functions):

enum ENUM_MY_MODE
{
CCI,
RSI,
Stoch
};

5. you delete your old constant-input which was defined in fxdreema "int MYmode = 0", - replace this constant-input with type of your enum:

input ENUM_MY_MODE MYmode=CCI;

6. compile this with MetaEditor into your working EA and have fun

I am not sure about switching charts in tester, it possible can be done using offline charts, theory:

1. EA in 1min chart - EA must have function to create offline charts
2. when is EA running in tester, offline charts are creating and now you can switch between offline charts and in offline charts can be created these lines
   ... creating offline charts you need do manually with custom code block, but is not easiest

second way can be:

1. use tester only with primary TF and here you can print Higher TF candles, or use indicator to create higher TF candles - they can be created from objects (lines, rectangles ...) or with buffers "histogram", you can google for few indicators
2. print on this primary TF these lines, you can change colors which can represent TF, lets say: clrOrange for H4, clrBlue for D1, etc. ...

in MT4 tester is not possible open trades for another pair like tested one (eurusd in tester, so you can open only eurusd trades), but is possible working with offline charts
in MT5 tester is not possible open offline charts, but it is possible to open multiple pair trades

I make it so, let say name EA is MyProject1 and for MT4

1. Project - Import Project - MyProject1.mq4 file
2. Rename this imported file (click on its name) and type MyProject2
   now you have new version

I made it manually into code
instead of enum you can use numeric values like 0,1,15,... - depends on how they are used in code

I can not explain it better

If somebody meet same problem as I, he can read first post and find solution
