that is this middle block, it is a boolean block. just type the name of your boolean in the block and if its true itll go left, else right

@jstap said in Can anyone copy and past into the Custom MQL code?:

Have you tried ctrl v and ctrl v, have you right clicked and selected paste?

crt c+ctrl v*

whats the logic? looks like a picture of a weak expansions from a high tf liq, likely to be swept again.

i also recently started getting weird errors on certain symbols...

it hops between not enough money, and only position closing allowed.

@tec-nacks said in We need to have an in-built News Filter...It is high time we have this MT4 and MT5:

@TipsyWisdom I have this integrated into my system actually a switch button specifically for New's Sake but the Problem is management - I managed multiple accounts for different investors and clients so it becomes hard for me to Micro-manage the whole thing.

However, I've built a smoother system around it.

The experience was way better off when I integrated the existing code on News Filter Thread which now stopped working for reasons that can't be explained.

ah fair enough, multiple charts. I wonder if a single click can be programmed to disable trading across the terminal? Primary consideration is, you dont want to turn anything off.

@roar said in We need to have an in-built News Filter...It is high time we have this MT4 and MT5:

News filters dont make much sense to me, for a couple reasons:

• Some times the biggest news will come out of the blue, not in any calendar
• Very often the "high impact" news dont cause much impact at all, except NFP and FOMC
• You cannot backtest with news filter, so developing a good EA becomes impossible
• Using a simple volatility filter gives some of the benefits of a news filter, and you can backtest it

I was trying to find a reason to disagree with you, but ultimately you are right. Even though I would use the news events to find a reason to trade rather than avoid the session...its a moot point either way. For every reason these guys want this feature, is the same reason most ppl fail at manual trading, lack of discipline.

The work that needs to be done will only affect future performance for anyone, so backtest as we all know, doesn't work for certain time aspects. Just as the solution can be programmed, a solution already exists. Just not within Dreema and thats what people don't want to hear.

Step 1 forexfactory.com and go to the calendar
Step 2 update your google calendar! or outlook!

Now you can simply create a button to click that will disable trading for a certain time period and another button to click to turn trading back on.

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

another way to do it.

I did get it to show the lines visually as well.

if necessary

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

This is my Tipsy Wisdom on how to properly account for the 2 changes in time through the year that we experience when trading.

The logic to the method is to:

1. get the month
2. check month number
3. sort by logic, if we are above or equal to 11, and below 3, then we are in the November hour. If we are above or equal to 3 and below 11, use the march hour.
4. itll pass conditions according to which is true, now to times for the proper accounting that you want to search for, for that time period, before finally modifying variables. For me, I have a start and ending trade window I used that changes by an hour on the start side, but the end trade time remains the same.
   

using this has its drawbacks in terms of visually, drawing lines does not accept using variables in the manner im using them because its a double, rather than a string as time should be. However, I can backtest and adjust time. so, 1 version for backtest, and it can be built different accounting for live running forward thought, with a slight change in config.

enjoy. hopefully of use to someone.

editing...standby..

also, you cant use the orange blocks like that in adjust. You must manually type it. because you can do math in the block using it that way.

to multiply using balance increment, it'll be "*balanceIncrement" with out the ""

looks like youve got the idea man!

I think the best approach would be a scaled percentage based growth? if you are seeking a target % then your lot sizes could scale at the same % to keep the math simple and reuse the variable

you would need to do a variable modification first based on balance.

Now create a constant, for what X will be.

formula, balancevariable + constant = targetvariable

now check condition, if balance = targetvariable
(see below)
modify variable of lot size to be multiplied here now.

also create a variable for lot size and youll want to x2 it in the same manner as prescribed above.

surely theres a much better way some genius has around here, but thats how I logically accomplish things

@roar still helping a brother out, again, years later.

heres an example of how to use a block to compare 2 variables. the right output is false, left is true

to see the results separate, just add a comment.

thats easiest done by typing something in the buy and sell block, last thing at the bottom. Comment section.

Each trade produced by that block will have that comment.
