@tipsywisdom True but the guy already has what he is classing as a swing high/low.

interesting approach. thanks. I didnt even notice his link just yours.

@biztet said in how to creat US30 sculping trading robot?:

@TipsyWisdom you can simply use MA @ STOCH for trend and RSI for reversal much better if you use multi timeframe to catch the signal. As you know stoch is not perfect, but you should give it a try. I usually combine these 3 indicator in my strategy, in manual and auto trading.

And also you need to find best setting that suites your strategy.

you lost me an MA, Stochastic and RSI. lol

You wont find any of those in my standard strats. Typically if Im using an indicator, Im leaning heavily on it and its my long or short signal. Outside of that, indi's are good for info in place of price action for an EA (price action that is otherwise, logically, "impossible" to do..an indi can make it easier) ...but not to make decisions based on them.

@sirluk said in Series of candles:

Hi. I would like to make a condition, that passes, if the 10 and 15 EMA cross the 50 SMA somewhere between lets say candle ID 20 and 50. is there a way to do this in a simple way, or do I really have to make a condition for each candle ID? Thanks for your help.

you could draw up a loop code, constantly looking over the last X to X candles. 1 block to rule them all....well, like 3 or 4 would be needed in total...But theres a project in tutorials. ZigZag, written by Miro. He uses a loop in there.

@doubledee said in None rapaint mql5 custom indicator:

@Spenza42 it is a lagging indicator it only appears after price has moved towards certain direction maybe if you can put it on Candle ID 2 it will work if candle Id 2 is not working try candle ID 3 just test the indicator on a live demo market so you can trace as how many candlesticks it appears after

^ good call, its set to C0, its rare that you can concrete notifications at C0. Change CID to 1 will definintely help to see if there are any more issues....it may need C2. Never heard of that indi.

I think there is some miscommunication.

I think Biztet is trying to get multiple time frames to display after an EA conducts a backtest, or perhaps a way to display multiple frames of time for the single EA that operates on many frames of time?

Otherwise the solution is simple.

You have EA time frame. Within that frame of time you could have conditions you seek on a daily while using the M1 to seek entries. This is as simple as connecting the daily condition block down to the M1 entry condition block. Now you are operating the EA on 2 frames of time. However neither of those frames of times are what you perceive the EA on. That is a 3rd angle that you will see the EA operate at. The time frame that you manually choose in the metatrader software.

Now when I say you should be in full control of your EA, if you are not specifying a way to control time for every block that asks for time input, then your entire EA will be subject to problems because then that unspecified frame of time will automatically be set to "current" or whatever the perceived view of the EA is set to. I.e. the manually set time before you start a backtest.

@general-melchett said in Kestra constantly DMs me, please someone stop him:

Is @kestra DMing everyone else with requests to save his work for him? Unfortunately I can't block him but have reported his profile a few weeks ago but nothing has been done. Just pay for a subscription @kestra then you will be able to save your work.

Can one of the admins @fxdreema @l-andorrà please ban him

I never responded since the first, its funny how you can understand a persons personality by their posting....cant imagine what people think of me. LOL

@ryuzaky change selection B at the top, to no. Do not allow it to redraw, but A should be yet. To allow it to draw once per bar. That should work. If you click on the words of what A and B are, it will open adescription of the configurations

@majidai there are workarounds and there are solutions. Thats a workaround. haha

something like that.

or this

?

@jstap its so wild to me how people interpret things so different...or rather, when they think they are asking for 1 thing, they mean something totally different they just dont even know how to say it.

You have to be versed in logic to be able to speak logic, otherwise you end up with people who are so fucking technical and overthinking....they think they need a separate EA for each asset. LOL

4. Understanding error by the operator.

use them like this:

heres 1 option, to get "price now," should get you going in the right direction of mouse click.

it may be slightly more involved as you may have to get the coordinates of the mouse location first. or perhaps theres a way to query MQL for the mouse positioning OnChart. Not sure, good luck

in order to troubleshoot, I would also recommend not optimizing and just running 1 scenario on live backtest, so you can read the journal.

As with what has been said though, I have done many things to optimize and speed up my historical data searching;

1. terminate failing EA scenarios...i.e. if my profit drops 10% below the starting balance, it terminates the rest of the scenario from completing.
2. terminate EAs that dont create enough profit over time
3. terminate EAs that fail X # of trades in a row
4. never operate on a tick by tick basis. Always operate on candle closing scenarios, even for check profit settings...i.e. ALL ACTIONS MUST BE CHECKED ONCE PER MINUTE AT THE FASTEST.

Id do something like...pink blocks, for each closed position in a loss, once per position (not moe than 1 history trades), modify variable named losscounter + losscounter, adjust +1. maybe.

....looking like mean reversion. RSI based.
very large to no stoploss.
No time of day restrictions.
not too bad on the multi-symbol searching...a lot of people can't figure that part out, let alone close trades simultaneously on profit. not too bad at all man.

nope, sure aint
