@trader-philipps I must admit I can't remember all the details off top of my head, its been a while when I last worked with objects.
But in any case, it surely is possible to name each object and also find them by specific names, if not with the block settings, then with some actual mql4 functions
https://docs.mql4.com/objects
@trader-philipps Yeah the object thing would surely end up quite a mess and hard for the CPU as well, probably not what you want lol.
If the pips away block is the only issue, you could make your own pips away -calculations with a loop and formula block... And then perhaps deduce the TP stage (1,2,3) from the currently remaining trade size
@trader-philipps I try to avoid them as well, but in this case it could be the most straightforward solution...
There's that name contains field, you could put your order ID there.
@turelforex It seems to be a design by mister stroker:

Wow! It works!
Thanks again!
@l-andorrà yeah - just draw 3 lines for each new trade (TP1, TP2, TP3). Name them using OrderTicket().
Loop: for each trade -> find object where name=OrderTicket() -> if price is above object, close partially, delete object
Would also need a cleanup loop for deleting lines that don't find a matching live trade.
@trader-philipps How about simple horizontal lines on chart? You could also name them using each order number.
@fxgjg said in How/what blocks can i use the blocks to structure this problem?:
Thanks @roar
I'll give it a try now.
I think i have to explain a bit more...
As you can see above, once the sell order (red arrow) was closed (yellow arrow) then all 3 pending buy orders (blue arrows) were instantly closed (pink arrows)What i would wish to happen is for the last/lowest (closest) pending buy (blue arrow) to be closed when the sell is closed leaving the other 2 pending buys open until their sell orders are closed.
So, in a nutshell: buys and sells are done in pairs. This is why I would use some specific group number for each pair.
I wouldn't care to keep such a precise track myself, though.
I would just limit the number of pending orders, using the "check pending orders count" block.
@fxgjg Hi!
I would connect the buy and sell orders with the group ID.
I use a variable tradeID for that in my example. Just make sure you use the same group ID for the orders (open the orders at the same time).
Now you can check if there is a running buy/sell, if not, delete pending orders with the corresponding group #.
@tom-5 You can use constants and variables simply as a part of code, you don't have to right-click so the field turns brown/blue.
Make a constant lotsize = 0.1
Now the code string is:
AccountBalance()/1000*lotsize
@tom-5 To use 0.1 lots for every 1000$ in balance, put this string into the initial volume field:
AccountBalance()/1000*0.1
@jaychyke Download the .mq4 and import it again to get the constants and variables done correctly.
Alternatively, just copy the blocks and set up these constants and variables manually:
@bogdaiki ^^ that's right, my bad!
@turelforex no, I'm sorry but youre out of luck. You can only use mt4 visual tester and rebuild the whole system...
@turelforex If you have downloaded .mq4 or .mq5 files, you can import those.
@rhang Ok, that doesn't tell much.
It could be something wrong with the mql4 - mql5 conversion:

Could you share your project?
@nande-designs Maximum risk depends on your account's maximum leverage.
For 1:1 -> max 100%
For 1:10 -> max 1000%
For 1:100 -> max 10 000%
For 1:500 -> max 50 000%
@nande-designs It's not 0-100 because we use leverage.
1 lot on EURUSD is actually 100 000 €.
So with 1000€ account, "100% of equity -> lots" means 0.01 lot.
3000% would mean 0.30 lot, respectively.
@ambrogio No, actually I think it's just optimal
Putting a loop inside a loop is basically a multiplication.
If there are 100 open trades and 3 trades meet the loss condition, then 2 oldest trades are closed 3 times.
As a result, 3 loss trades and 3*2=6 old trades are closed, 91 trades will be left open.
