Probably because you hide the item before remove the "tick" at the input box. Just recall the item and remove the "tick"

Idea:
x = Money/lot size
a = Money per tick
b = tick size

amount = b(x/a)

Try to reach @roar. He can offer paid services and we all know he is one of the best in this forum

There is a block to play sound, doesn't it work for you?

According to MQL4 document:
The file must be located in terminal_directory\Sounds or its sub-directory. Only WAV files are played.

Just create the directory "Sounds" and put the wave file there.

Tradingview is trending. It seems quite indicator based which is not my style. Sure the strategy development is easy and user experience is good.

Trading Station is good and reliable, but LUA is too difficult for me to write practical EA.

Some may use MultiCharts, but it was once a nightmare to me. It is easy to write a simple program, but not really something you would want.

Python sounds good if you use AI. Believe me, it is very time consuming to develop a simple AI project for trading. You need a lot of effort to 'guess' what hypothetical model would fit the market.

Zorro-trader claims that it can trade with AI using C programming readily. However, no way I can find it practically work. Much marketing + poor SDK/support

Getting the center line value can be done by selecting its name. But getting its channel level values seems not straightforward. Further knowledge on the function/formula for the channel width is needed.

It is a big question. Whether the price has a trend is a random variable itself.

Yes. The indicator is not smart enough to auto adjust the DST itself

I use MT4 but I think MT5 may be better in terms of backtest and response speed.

Tick for the first option
It will ask you every time where to download

How can you request data from barchart.com ?

Of course backtesting can alway get a good result.

Why the backtest have all 300 long trades without any short trades ?

Simply because the period is in bull trend.

It is useful if you add a MQL block with the icustom function.

Especially with default inputs and fixed buffer as signal (e.g. first buffer is buy signal and second signal is sell signal)

In this case, you can test a lot of strategies with just custom indicator name change.

As I remember, there was an old forum someone used similar technique to use many custom indicators as input signals to get final output signals.

@l-andorrà

Suppose indicatorName is the indicator name variable.
The first signal is buy signal and second sell signal.
A MQL4 block simply containing

buySignal = iCustom(NULL, 0, indiatorName, 0, 0)
sellSignal = iCustom(NULL, 0, indiatorName, 1, 0)

will get the corresponding signals from indicator named by the variable indicatorName

But the limitation in this case is that the inputs are all set to default value

Use 5 blocks in a row is good. Nevertheless, you can use the Loop Block

Agree. If the context menu of the block contains the Open action, we can work on fxDreema with mobile phone.

For each trade --> Modify variable

In this case all trades are considered to get the latest open trade (position).

You can also modify Group Mode and Symbol Mode to filter out what you want

@funmi
Are you sure it is the EA that trigger the undesired trade ?

Happened only once ?
