28 trades doesnt really tell much to me. You spin a roulette table 28 times, very possible to walk away with profit.

@ramon2020-1

when it reaches 3 0 4 losses buying for the market rebounds?

This sentence makes zero sense to me lol

@mikev_303 you have calculated the correct levels into buy and sell variables. Now you dont have to use ATR + adjust in the order block, just insert the level as custom price:

@mikemanahan basically, paste the mq4 code as "Custom function", set inputs as "Parameter used in block" and then call the function. This way you can convey the buffers to fxdreema variables. I dont know if thats the best way to manage it, I dont really use the studio - I dont think anyone on this forum does lol

@sjthetechguy I dont think its possible on fxdreema, you have to add it manually in metaeditor.

Well, boolean variables are possible. You cant get "yes" and "no", but you can get "true" and "false".

"Check consecutive losses" counts already closed trades, not running ones. You aware of that?

@fideld003 I see youre a fast learner - this isnt the most simple example lol

1. Yes, its usually best to set variables zero at the beginning, you will modify them later anway - thats why they are called variables

2. The color fields are a quick way to set new values for the variables. White, orange and yellow fields correspond to the half circles around the blocks: white is something that happens before the block, orange and yellow are outputs depending on block type. In case of a loop ("for each..."), orange is something that happens on each loop iteration, and yellow is the "exit door". So, to count buys:

• reset buys variable to 0 before beginning the loop, to erase any earlier calculations
• for each buy trade found with the loop block, increase buys by 1
• when loop is complete, take exit from yellow output and move to next part of the project

3. The custom code has a logarithm calculation. Logarithms basically scale big numbers to smaller numbers. If youre using chrome, you can try "ln(20)" in the adress bar - it gives 2.99.
   So, if there is 20 buys open, the lot value for next sell order will be
   0.01* 2.99 * 2 = 0.0598 = 0.06 (just as in your picture)

The 2nd line is just a lower limit for the lot amount. MathMax function picks the bigger value in the parenthesis. So, the line reads as "set lotA as itself or 0.01, whichever is bigger".

@fideld003 all right, here's an example project. It keeps track of order counts, and uses that value to calculate lot size. Its a dangerous betting strategy, just for example - dont trade it.

@mikev_303 ATR is not a price level

edit: oh you knew that

@fideld003 you will need variables for any math calculations, communication between blocks, storing values over time. You can do basic projects without variables too, but mastering them will open up 100x more possibilities for you.

Anyway, its probably best for you to just keep making your own designs, and learn variables once you actually need them.

@cesardefez if you dont need any decimals, just use an int variable instead of double variable

If you do need some decimals:

@ambrogio to get pips, multiply by ten, to double the amount, multiply by two.
x/10*2 = x/5

@xyon126 it says "points" in the mql4 article, I've never actually used this lol. I guess youre right.

@Banditdos just copy it exactly as in the pictures and see what you get.

This one should be secure: if no stop-loss, set SL of 2 times minimum
https://fxdreema.com/shared/3VcgNhIX

@xyon126 just put it anywhere you want that value to be, in "modify variables" block for example

This function returns the minimum stop distance:
MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_STOPLEVEL)

@cesardefez just do it like in the upper picture, its fine.

Getting 29 lucky trades is very easy, no matter how accurate your data is. You should get at least 200 trades for some statistical validity, 2000 even better.
