How did you convert it? What kind of errors does it give?

Can you share your project?

Can you give some more information? Did you get the .ex5 file?

This, before all other blocks

Use the "set current market" block

What do you mean, 3 trades? I havent used the % risk in a long time, should look into it...

This sets the fixed level at the moment the trade is opened.
If you want the sl to move with bb, use "once per bar" -> "modify stops of trades" instead.

I think this should work https://fxdreema.com/shared/mXKoz8wae

Like, just add these blocks to your current project:

Then, run mt4 backtest

The data will be in the journal now

Use notepad++ to open the .log file

Paste it to excel, the format will be messy at this point, we can use formula =RIGHT(C1;(LEN(C1)-51)) to pick only the interesting part to column L.
Hit Ctrl+enter to apply the formula to entire column.

I know, this is not optimal approach by any means, but it works in a pinch

I think the "write to file" needs a specific file path, like "D:\Metatrader..."
I am too lazy to have ever figured it out, instead I have used my own dirty stop-gap solution:
Just write the variables to your mt4 journal tab, with fxdreema block "Log message". Then generate the .log file and use some other programs (notepad++, excel) to further arrange the data

@seemab Hi! I dont know about any courses, never participated on any, lol
You can freely add custom code to your fxdreema blocks. I have learned by trial and error x 1000 000.

Pardon my handwriting lol

@setsuna
Almost right, just put the adjust to the other side, with the candle 2 open.

I think the adjustment as "candle ID 1 close is above candle ID 2 open even though we lifted it by 1 pips"

This is how I'd loop it. There is a dedicated loop block in the builder, too, but it is not necessary. You have to be careful though, if the loop never ends you will get a stack overflow error.

Now that I think of it, this would probably most easily be done with the "indicator moves within limits" block, lol

Hi!
The method with 5 different blocks should work just fine, although a looped solution would be my choice as it would allow to select any number of candles.
How can you know it doesnt work? Try chopping your strategy to different pieces and test each one alone. The draw line -block is great for troubleshooting with visual backtesting.

Why the green counter blocks? Have you tried without them?

You want to use the "adjust" field there. Check the example picture:

Maybe your current trade is different group number, or manually opened?
Try setting the group filter to "all":

Here's the other project with RSI. I understand the "engulfing" as higher high + lower low in a candle. This reduces the entries quite a lot, can't say if it is good or bad. I used some variable and constants tricks in the project, it may take a while to wrap your head around it, lol

If you get the project by importing the .mq4, it automatically sets the variables in place for you:
0_1548539085270_SAR.mq4

We can set the TP with "modify stops", connecting from the FALSE output of "No trade".
Edit: oh you can actually do the same thing directly from the Buy now / Sell now block.

I only backtested to see the logic is ok. I don't expect this to make profit, although it is a nice start, and good practise.
There is a simple "thought test" you can perform: if someone else has probably tested the same thing before, then it will probably not be profitable. Someone has surely tested 2 bears 2 bulls before, so its no good. You have to make something more advanced. Innovate.
But as said, it is still very good practise in this business.
