@rippin but it does change color every time the direction changes, doesnt it?

I made an example EA for you. But this indicator repaints like crazy. I wouldn't waste any more of my time on this, to be frank.

@gofore do the checking before the other things, so the block has a chance to stop the flow

@gofore use this block, and if you want to differentiate between the main trade and supplementary trades, set some group numbers as well

@jjot I think you will have to create new block for each month, like this https://fxdreema.com/shared/dRjTiNHQc

@gofore

• hit f2 to open history center, download data for eurusd (it will not be perfect data, depends on your broker)
• hit ctrl+R to open strategy tester
• put these settings and run the test:
  

@jjot yeah, there's the month filter as well, right above the day

@gofore I dont have subscription at the moment, cant test.

Please, run a multi-year backtest and post the results.
For example, eurusd H1 2013-2020.

I can guarantee that it yields a loss. Please be careful.

What I dont like:

• Moving averages and candle sizes aren't super effective as the core of a strategy, to my experience.
• "Add to volume" is probably the most dangerous block in Fxdreema. It makes ANY strategy look very good, but its really just gambling.
• MT4. If you really want to invest your time and money on automated systems, MT5 would give you a better environment. (= better chance of success)

What I like:

• Symmetric opening and closing of trades. That's the most logical method for a 24/7 algorithm. Fixed (or trailing) stops are more sensible in manual trading, as your opportunities are more limited.

Just my (personal) (and probably foolish) thoughts

@bertkuiper what do you mean it didnt work? No trades at all?

Do you have netting or hedging account? That should be written in the top title of your mt5 window

@bertkuiper just connect "buy now" and "sell now" together, doesnt matter which one is first.

From a theoritical perspective, though - your net position is still 0 so its kinda useless trade, youre only giving commissions to your broker.

@rippin your indicator changes color when it makes new high or new low, doesnt it?

Its often easier to detect that turning point, rather than the color.

@ontrade try the "100% of trailing stop", that should be the same $5

Or 200% of you want 2*5

@ontrade to change from pips to money, change from pips to money
lol

@johntyr ok, then you can just create some constant and make a condition for that constant -> when you dont want to autotrade, change that constant from the expert setting so the condition becomes false.

You can also make a variable and control with a fancy button:

@yoloyacht but you are only interested if there is more or less than 0 profit, right? Zero is the same for pips and money.

@ontrade try this inside the custom box:

if(AccountBalance() - startblc > 50) TesterWithdrawal(50);

@yoloyacht this block looks promising

@moon that will not work either, you cant read indicators as if they were graphical objects.

@moon not possible, at least without some serious custom code. Interesting idea, though
