could anybody here explain better how to draw a rectangle?

I want it to start at candle 2 and to continue until price comes back into the rectangle even slightly
I want its top to be at candle 1s low and its bottom to be at candle 3s high

@mahyarsahampour i thought a rectangle needed to have 4 seperate points
2 for time.. start and finish
and 2 for price... in my case, high and low..
Not right?

Im saying if there are 3 bullish candles... and candle 1s low is smaller than candle 3s high

then draw a rectangle starting at candle 2 in time, from candle 1s low to candle 3s high.. to candle 0 in time..
and check it once per bar

What am i missing to make this draw?

also is it better to have it as server time with inputs... or just use gmt time?
the session times change during daylight savings time
Can you add an input for Daylight Savings time?

Trying to draw a line for the high of each session and low of each session as a trend line but when i click on settings for the draw line i have no idea what these mean..

If i have chosen the market properties and highest price time period where i input my start and end time
but below this... what does price (1) and Time (2) and price (2) mean?

Do i need to fill in all those?

if i want the trend line to go across the session and disappear once the new asia session starts? how do you do that?

@jstap is no trade the same as no positions in mt5?

Ok so instead of asking questions after i do a search and find a topic that didnt have an answer... is there somewhere that is absolutely awesome to learn from?

Should i do a udemy course? youtube? most of the youtube videos iv found miss things and they are also only for MT4... which i dont use at all.

Is there another course somewhere?

Iv had a look at some of the tutorials but i dont really get some of the concepts. I was trying to learn mql5 manually with the coding side of things so i do get whats happening at times, but im not there yet! so i want to learn this fully...

wheres the best place?

then does that open it every single bar? or just when the next bar happens that the same thing occurs?

What specifically should i add to only open 1 position when a specific situation occurs once, but then to open another position if it happens 5 candles down the track?

I was following this Quasimodo example on youtube and it works, it just open more and more positions

Here is my

if didnt have Check Positions count... but i thought id add it so that it doesnt open a position unless theres 0 positions already, but of course that didnt work either.

its in the market folder... so that would be why! Thanks

if im working with MA's and whenever MA1 is above MA2 i want it to take buys every 2 bars, what is the best way to do this? Alternatively when the MAs again cross, i want those trades to be closed and the opposite direction trades to be opened every 2 bars.

currently i have

havent added in the every 2 bars yet cause not sure how to do that either ha ha... i assume its once every day.. and then change it to once every 2 bars

but should i be using x> or > because it doesn't always just cross above, sometimes its trending there.

i used a custom indicator in my ea called super trend signal. basically it gives an up arrow for buysand a down arrow for sells..
for some reason when i load the ea i get this error and it doesn't take any trades

i saved a tester.tpl file as a template so it loads the indicator in the strategy tester
what am i doing wrong?
