its a parioli, OR martingale...however you set it up. You dont have to use the profit side, just put a 0 there and now its only a martingale strategy, to multiply on loss.

No Group Numbers.

at a minimum, make sure you change them to seek "All" then, instead of leaving it blank.

Not that its going to fix your issue, but it may be a piece to help that is often overlooked....and sometimes, doesn't matter, but sometimes it does.

@tipsywisdom said in LOT Multiply Not Function:

again though, this will solve your problem...what you were given is a work around to a standard money management style that we can simply use from a dropdown arrow instead of building blocks.

Right? Why stack (4)1x1 inch blocks when you could just grab the (1) 4x1 inch block.

and, again, not to put down what Jstap gave you, because 1x1 inch blocks in the hands of the right person creates for an EA that can adapt better to variable situations...but, since you dont understand it...I would just keep it simple and use that 1 block and delete the rest. It works. I have used it for testing without much knowledge on how martingale works, its just built in.

martingale was meant to multiply 2x. Can you verify it doesnt work with 2x?

@realjoker said in My EA does not close losing positions sometimes???:

@piotras10000 The reason is very simple, the ea uses groups to recognize its operations, so you did not use this, what you did is place your trailing and tell it there that all open orders manually or EA modify them, so to be able to manage each 1 of them you must give 1 number (Really any variable would work (even string) to be able to later manipulate each purchase or sale as you decide, if you look I put group 1 purchase group 2 sale, so then in the closing block I use groups 1 ,2 of buy, sell close them when their condition passes. And leave the trailing as you had it so you can compare and see your mistake.

I would suggest handling all trades as long and short instead of group numbers. As long as you have Group Mode All selected, you don't have to worry about a group # unless you do enter one in any of the original blocks. But once you do, be prepared to handle that group number separate from everything else. Its been a while, but I showed proof once to some colleagues that even those with a group # were not being handled by the "All" group mode.
I mean everything....if positions, close position, trail...each will need a separate group tree.
If you just keep it simple with longs and shorts, its much easier to handle because the Buy or Sell only selection works without hesitation.

To that affect though, for the original poster, just put everything to All and it will work fine with the trails and closed trades.

then any time after it crosses, you will be alerted every new candle...theoretically.

But the way you are doing it is illogical.

If you are above it, then it doesnt matter when it crossed it, unless you need that information to use later. You would then do a variable system...

If price X MA, modify variable "MAX"

If price is above MA, check MAX...

But I dont understand why you would need to know...what you would need to know. The price at that moment? Thats what that variable will produce. If you are trying to seek a candle ID thats a bit more complicated and you will need a loop.

It would probably be easier if you marked a chart and showed us what a perfect trade looks like, and then share a link of your current project attempt to make that happen.

@mmaarits said in Alert about how many candles ago price crossed MA:

Hello,

I would like to get information about how many candles ago price crossed MA, I created EA for that, but unfortunately it doesn't work. What is wrong there, link to shared project is here https://fxdreema.com/shared/RANrLu32c?

Thanks a lot!

Yea, delete the first condition.

if you just do a buy and sell now with no TP or SL, only close on opposite conditions, you can achieve the same affect...and probably a better EA

@breeeeen said in Margin Level (in %) return infinite is bugged:

Hi there,

When the Margin Level (in %) Account condition is set to return infinite, nothing trades.

An easy workaround is to use the "No positions" block and ignore this check if there are no positions, but it would be good if the infinite number is fixed. Maybe set it to 99999 as an alternative?

(I tested assigning a constant with 99999 to "when no trades" and it works perfectly.)

Thanks for that find.

Lots of things like that can be worked around, but always good to let people know the workaround. Thanks again!

@jxlibin1987 said in Is it okay to track transactions?:

Can I follow the transaction? How do I need to program? For example, when my EA starts a buy order, other accounts will follow and trade at the same time. Can you help me?

best thing to do is detect trades by magic number since EA has its own, thats how you use information across each.

once per bar, day
modify variable, account, equity. var=daystartequity

once per bar, 1minute
condition, account, equity (below or equal) value, daystartequity adjust ".95
use the turn off block to turn off the sell and buy now blocks by ID number of the dreema block.

That means, if current equity is below or equal to 95% of the Equity measured at the start of the day, then it will turn block ID that you set in it.
Dont forget to once per bar, daily, turn it back on.

@trdjb3 said in 3 Breakevens in same project:

@tipsywisdom

I tried this way

https://fxdreema.com/shared/IEUzcrI9d

The BE are activated correctly. The problem is that, when market come back to BE1 position, then the SL is changed back to SL from BE1. If market goes up again and reach BE2, then change again SL to position 2.

I think the only way to work is using ALWAYS SL2 above BE1 trigger. Any different sugestion?

sorry man, thats just going to have to be one of those things you mess with until you get. If I ever do some work with break even and understand what it all means, Ill try to remember this post.

What say you Sir?

I can provide the exact code I used upon request...and some time of me searching for it again...

in order to use equity dd properly you must set a variable when entering a trade, now assuming you only do 1 trade open at a time, while that trade is open you can then do a formula and calculate and say...equity(variable1) * .95 = variable 2. Condition block, if equity (account) = variable 2. close positions. Don't forget to reset the variable after each position close. That will then allow a 5% drop in equity before closing positions.

if you dont set a variable, equity can never be equal to equity...unless you go a different way about it, but thats the logic I used to accomplish balance and equity closing for a daily, weekly, or per trade basis when using total balance as a metric for TP or SL.

you would need to have 1 BE on a if position while the other 2 would need to be looped while in position. I suspect...something logically like that if that makes sense.

Just do 1 trail stop, problem solved.

link updated, cleaned it up and deleted the last leg fib. removed a few of the useless constants.

@mcvinbabas said in ZigZag with AutoFib:

@tipsywisdom ,,,, wooowww this amazing,,,
can you make it like HH, HL, LH,LL.

explain further...

i dont think your logical understanding is correct for what you are trying to accomplish

Candle ID is automatically updated.

It looks like on a very simple basis, when price makes a new HH you draw a line back to the last HH, and now you have a trendline.

What's wrong with using it as custom level.
