yes, yes, i did just that

Complete running EA? Well here's my 500 best ones, that I have decided to save:

I understand the admin, too, he probably wants something else for his life than just giving 24/7 technical support for years.

In my opinion, if you really need your projects pre-chewed and spoon-fed for you, you lack the skill and passion required to succeed in the first place. I'm sorry.

Use variables to store any information, with the "modify variables" block.
Although you need some logic to reset the data and restrict its process, you probably dont want replace the data on every bar?

The plan is to count seconds in the On Timer tab. You must set the onTimer period to 1 second from the options -> project options.

Now that we have the seconds counting, when bull candle appears, set the count to 0 -> now the variable can increase to 10, and we have our 10 seconds delay -> buy!

A simple scalping EA idea in case anyone is interested.

Lets compare the difference between 13-ATR and 13-Standard Deviation on EURUSD M30 chart.
When STD is significantly below ATR, market is making large candles but not moving anywhere.
Here's our opportunity to switch to 5-minute chart and buy/sell using fast RSI.


Backtest from 2007 yielded surprisingly good result for such a basic system.

Here's some info about constants and variables.
You can create your variables to the variable list, which is on the left in builder, above the search box.
Just create some system with "modify variables" block, test it around, you will (eventually) see how they work

You can replace nearly any value with a variable or constant, by right-clicking the number

I revisited this project today, and noticed there were some stupid logical mistakes in the data manipulation..
Made a better one! In this dataset on EURUSD 2009-2019 M1 OHLC candles,
every 2nd one-minute candle is flipped upside down. All gaps are removed. As a result, the weekly chart starts quickly deviating from real EURUSD. Backtest reports 98% accuracy.
Because significant m1 candle moves don't occur in binary fashion (0,1,0,1...), the resulting price movement is pseudorandom.

Why use this? If my EA works well in both real EURUSD and this modified one, it is a bad signal - my EA probably just exploits some flaw in the backtester.

@cdwilder1 yes, it's "relative" or something like that.
For example, if rel is set to 0.7, I can read the conditon as "standard deviation is not more than 70% of ATR".

This should help

@cpxiom I have the same methodology - money management shouldn't be the critical part, trading logic comes first!

@moemedi you can make 30 projects

set different group numbers for them, and then use "pending order exist" separately for each number
-> then you can close the other one.

or simplier, check if theres less than 2 pending orders -> delete pending orders

Yes, the advertising might paint a bit too rosey picture, and yes there could be more extensive help material and tutorials. The tutorials-section is a great place to share knowledge, but unfortunately it seems to be flooded with help requests, which is not a place for them. Couple of moderators would be great for the forum.

Most of the questions are very basic stuff made by novices that have used the demo builder for 10 minutes. It is simply not worth it to provide costly support for such. It's a sad reality of a niche business like this. Hiring some support staff would potentially result in higher sales, but it is a huge risk as well.

Fxdreema projects, even fairly advanced ones, do not require coding knowledge. They do require a very high degree of logical thinking and patience. Making success in the world's most competitive markets can never be easy and everyone can't be winners, no matter how good the support is. That's just my opinion.

@Paihdt you can do the condition like this:

Here's the principle

Why this happens: the strategy tester doesnt use accurate data. It will slightly overstate the probability of a TP hit. The effect is bigger when making more and quicker trades. There's nothing interesting here..

Going forward, I recommend building your strategy with "once per bar" block at the top, so the tester is more true to life.

@sktsec there is a function, clicking on the "folder" will hide a section of the inputs list. I haven't got it working on fxdreema, though

So the signals happen at different price?
You need another variable, and store the price to that variable.
After the looping process, that variable should contain the last signal and you can continue with that

@seb-0 They are smooth because so many trades. In reality, trading costs would be so big that it's not even reasonable to expect such smoothness. Boils down to the sharpe ratio: profit/volatility. A curve like this is more reasonable:
