I created an EA where I wanted a pending order opened above open of candle 2 and a stop loss below the close of bar1. The ea is drawing the pending order 100 pips above the candle. Cant see where I am going wrong.

Could someone have a look and advise, the lines and arrows are just for testing and checking EA.
I just had a look at the examples and for a price v indicator, and it used candle ID 0. This is to simply to give direction on a higher time frame.
I got some assistance on the fractals from other posts
Trying to get an EA to do the following
Daily - Price above 20EMA - long (for clarity drew a 480EMA on hourly chart - see picture)
price below 20EMA -short
Fractals to form an abc pattern, with bar 2 breaking the 20EMA, bar 3 having a higher high than bar 2 high, bar 3 low to be higher than bar 2 high.
drawing lines for testing, but can't see my mistake. Would appreciate a fresh set of eyes.
Kind Regards

getting this
what I did with my HMA was simply, you load it on a chart and confirm which colour refers to which buffer <colour not important>. upload the indicator to my indicators and on the condition box select, my indicators on LHS, select the buffer > and on the RHS use value and numerical 1. There is a post here somewhere that all buffers return a high value when triggered <cant remember it at the moment> it returns a value 0 if not triggered.
2. I just ran a draw line at this buffer, to confirm it was reading the buffer as sometimes the colours are just painted.
3. you will have to do it on bar 1
It took a bit off research to find a HMA that gave buffers for me to read
I have set up an EA which is looking at a higher time frame, and when this meets the condition, it turns on a separate branch on a lower time frame. It works but...
the lower time frame runs as explained by fxdreema, as it has connected blocks, it makes some trades without the upper time frame sending signal . Once the first turn off condition in met, the cycles then works as designed. Can I create a block that is off by default, so that I can turn it on/off when I require. Place it at the top off the lower time branch.
Also what's the difference between toggle and turn off/on blocks. don't get the explanation on the ?.
Also a Question on time filters
I am trying to design the following time filters, but cant seem to work it out :
a time filter that stops trading say 6 hours before the close on Friday.
close all trades 5min before close on Friday regardless off position, so not holding over the weekend
no trading on Monday on open of Aussie session until Asia comes on line
thanks in advance fellow Dreema's

Q. Can anyone confirm/or deny that the stochastic indicator is calculated differently in MT4 ?
I seem to think so, as I was testing my EA against our manual (visual/ old school way) and the entries were different. I discovered the stochastic with the same settings were different.
if the calculation is different. Does anyone no how to emulate the MT4 code ? As all our structure is based on this.
Found this on, https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/139095
MT4 averages C-LL then divided by average of HH-LL instead of taking the average of (C-LL)/(HH-LL) ....
thanks for that, I did see that in the post, and when I tried to import it into Dremma, and it didn't load I assumed it was not.
Just on of those tired mistakes. Thanks for looking at it closely
Have read a number of posts on this, but sorry I don't understand. I loaded a custom indicator, identified the buffer (white), Selected in my condition and just wanted to draw a vertical line to test if I could Identify it. - No joy.
I did see if you only looking at arrows, some thing about repainting.
Advice would be appreciated
I created my constants, with the incorrect value and name. MY EA was and still is drawing a 60EMA, but it is not mentioned in my EA. I don't know if something is being called from legacy code. I was looking at the time frame as its the only thing calling a value of 60.

@zackry
I see you used Constants, I misinterpreted the differences.
Thank you so much.
I am using an EA where I have 3 Moving averages, and want them in the correct order before trading. I would like to change the EMA in MT4, without writing a new EA. I have tried the global values, without getting a result. I have reviewed the tutorial. s there a simple way of changing the MA values, that applies across all conditions on the EA in MT4.
thanks for that, I didn't know it drew objects on the chart. Will check it out
I have created my EA, where I just want too draw a vertical line at a point to test my coding ( baby steps). It is simply a 3 ema in right order then a pull back to an EMA. Is there a way to replay a period to emulate a market. I am not looking at buy/sells at this point.
I did try searching the forums, so if its listed pls send link.
Hoping I don't have to place it on a chart and wait. I did get a line to be drawn and added an additional condition, but conditions have not been met since. (want to fault find my mistakes in a timely manner).
