Here's a handy trick for troubleshooting: use visual tester and vertical lines. I draw light pink line for each "pips away" pass and blue line for each "money away" pass.

I used 5 times ATR and 3 money for the inputs, so there's a chance for them both to activate.

Aaand as it turns out, the money condition is active most of the time, and pips away condition activates only when ATR is very low:

@traderea6 I think this is working just fine. Technically. Its just that 1 ATR is very small distance, and 100 money is relatively big distance with 0.1 lots.

Note that "once per trade/order" will activate just once per trade, as it says, no matter of what happens above that block.

@fabiobioware I dont know, you could confirm with some volume indicator, or perhaps Money Flow Index which combines price and volume..

Personally I wouldn't care about correlations. EURUSD and USDCHF are correlated but it doesnt mean you can use the other for forecasting the future. They have covariance because both have USD in them, and USD moves in relatively bigger amplitude than EUR or CHF.

@fabiobioware said in RSI condition about Value:

@roar just so I can see if I understand your entire sequence of screenshots, can you validate if what I say below is what your images say?

1. Does the formula save the result of the difference between the current price and the previous price (ID1) in the case it means previous?

Yes. This sets up the desired slope. For example, rsi going from 55 to 60 will be enough for this system, because gap0 is 5. If RSI only goes to 57, the EA will do nothing as the slope is not big enough.

2. The value saved by the formula in the variable (currentgap)> gap0 which has its value 5 means that if the value is 5x greater than itself, go to the next condition.

No, gap0 is the smallest acceptable gap (slope). It doesnt multiply anything.

3. The value saved by the formula in the variable (currentgap)> lastgap, means that if the current value is greater than the last saved it goes to the next condition.

Yes. The EA will keep track of the gap changes. The first gap must be more than gap0, and every next gap must be more than before. This way we get the 5 (or more) consecutive up moves you wanted.

4. combo> = (consec_rises) means that if all values are confirmed go to the next block?

Here we check that the gap has increased 5 times in a row. So, in order to pass to the buy block, the EA must have been running for at least 5 ticks, and them all must have been rising.

Sorry if I said something stupid, my friend, I am an apprentice close to you that I consider an expert in fxdreema.

Nothing to be sorry for. Stay curious!

no changes

@hax the difference is that pink blocks assume that you have already selected the trade in question, while blue blocks can select the trade by themselves (or just modify all trades). The selection happens in the dark pink (loop) block, for example.

Double datatype has decimal, while int only has whole numbers (integers).
Change your variable datatype to int

Note that there will now be rounding errors if you do any math with the variable. Maybe should create a dedicated int variable just for the comment display, and use double type variables elsewhere.

@fabiobioware To get the down slope, multiply the formula result by *-1:

@fabiobioware I dont know what scale your indicator uses. Try 0 for the gap0

@fabiobioware Ok. Personally I dont think you should care about individual ticks, they are 100% random, but lets do this.

• First, lets set the slope, calculated as the difference between current price and ID 1 price. I'll use RSI in my example, so a difference (gap) of 5 is reasonable for my case.
  
• Next, we'll use a "loop" that goes through 5 iterations only if the gap increases 5 times in a row:
  
• If current gap is smaller than last gap, the indicator has fallen and everything goes back to 0 until it starts again
• Now we can just check that combo is more than 5 (or any number of ticks you like)

@ranjayforex You have first "once per day" filter and following that, a cross condition. So the EA runs 1 tick each day, and checks if there is a cross on that 1 tick. If not, it will wait to next day and check that 1 tick again.

@fabiobioware so you want it to look like this:

and also it must continue looking like this for 5 ticks or so?

@fabiobioware You get the slope by comparing current value to ID 1 value, no need for tick measurements.

The variables seem to be technically correct in the project.

@migen there's many ways to set variables. You gotta give some example project so I can see what you mean

@mndiarra You cannot import just any mq4 file, only those which are generated in fxdreema.

@fabiobioware well, I dont see why you should delay the market prices, because the market will be always real-time anyway. In order to slow the process, you would have to skip some ticks entirely. For example, run the code on every 5th tick.. I think theres a block designed for that.

@jzfusion the variables are ok, its just this condition:

When theres 0 trades in history, "lost" will always be less than "number_of_losses" and the condition will always be false.

@fabiobioware do you use mt5? If yes, the tester has an option to go step-by-step.
Open the visual tester, pause it, and then press f12 to test next tick.
