A weird one, for sure... For some reason the V-tags don't work, but it compiles ok when using the whole variable names:

Check the filter setting

The EA is fine, the error comes from bad history data. Try testing only open prices

@eklonsousa Yes, it is surely possible in fxdreema, but only via custom blocks, so the fxdreema software doesnt have much to do with it

Probably not.. It's not related to fxdreema, so you could find more on the official mql5 forum

@l-andorrà
On Timer is similar to On Tick, the code just runs on every given time interval, instead of on every tick.
You can put the same blocks to On Tick as well.

I used On Timer with 1 second setting to test the logic. It was late NY market session and there were no ticks happening, so On Timer was just a quicker way to test.

You can adjust the On Timer interval from the Project options

1st loop: calculate the total lot size of all trades
2nd loop: start closing trades by some order, profitable first in the example
3rd loop calculates the current total size -> when current size is less than 67% of the original, break the 2nd loop and everything stops

It's just a rough example, not very optimized, in fact I'm almost ashamed of that garbage algorithm lol

@setsuna
Pips away: how far should the current price be for an order (for example) to pass the condition
Slide order: it moves an existing order (or sl or tp) up or down, 100 pips for example.
It asks for the sell direction to clarify. Positive direction for buy is logically up, always, no need to ask. Positive direction for sell, however, can be up or down, depending on how you think about it.

Never done it, it is possible, but quite difficult indeed....

I don't have the time to dive into this right now, maybe later - this has been on my bucket list, too

@jzfusion
There is usually some other error in addition to "self terminated" - like not enough money, stop-out, 0 division or stack overflow..

@mariofxn Interesting.. So does the EA open too many trades on the same pair or the different pair? Do you intend to open multiple trades?

Could you share a version of your project so I can troubleshoot? You get the shared link form upper left corner

@vendettafx You don't necessarily have to right-click and then select your constant - you can as well just write the constant as text, together with the multiplication sign. I think.

I changed the loop filters, seems working now - if GBPUSD trade is open, the bot will not open new EURUSD trades.

The breakeven is still not implemented. I can't help with that right now, having a really busy week...

@zackry Well thats a third option, who knows lol

I started with mt5 so naturally I think it is the simpler environment. You don't need to use cloud computing or to know anything about it... It sits there in mt5 as kind of an advertisement of the service

@mariofxn When I put just that project to backtest, no errors.. Hope I'll remember to test this tomorrow, live market is just much easier

@mariofxn Hmm, maybe the loop goes mad if there are no trades... Lets put a "no trade" block at the very top, and skip the whole checking process if there are no running trades

This might work, can't test right now... At the moment it only tests the currency, breakeven condition can be added later

@vendettafx
Maybe this gets you going

@ashley111 Seems logical to me... Test with M1, and when going live, also attach the EA to M1 chart to make sure

@zackry Thats right -
lotsize = (OrderLots()*losspips)/tpPips;
