I think first you would need to give the EA some point of reference of time.
When do you want to start the timer? For how long each time do you want the time check to continue?
Sounds something like this;
Establish point of time reference, if no trade, check time, after X time, check for these conditions, if these conditions are met, do this, if those conditions weren't met, do this. If trade...?
haha...sorry, i dont know much about code but I would open whichever EA that is and find out what ObjectMove is...but I might assume that, if the coding is right, perhaps this EA/indi requires you to be on a specific time frame to work correct?
@yoloyacht said in EA won't run when Stop Loss is a variable:
@jsauter86 even as a value it doesnt
Please share project and we can check
trying putting a "No Trade" block above each. then specify buy or sell.
Next, if that doesn't work, put a Check Trade Count and set it <1.
@l-andorrà I found a spot yesterday where FXDreema himself made some blocks and posted the share, If I come across it again I'll put it in here.
But it had represented a certain value by putting a small arrow to the top of the candle and the value would move up and down with the top of the candle.
warning, "fractals" are constantly moving
@len-1 feed back; dont build buy and sell EA's with opposing conditions in the same EA. Do a buy version, and a sell version. Keeps it simple, less troubleshooting. Then when you figure it out perfect...try to combine it smartly so as to not interfere with each other.
interesting, thank you. Would you have any suggestions?
theres a link at the top under Projects, click "Create A Shared Copy"
@axmed69 The broker just used a different lot it sounds like. Something that could be easily fixed if you like the older broker, by using the global settings.
split the buy and sell columns to have their own separate, no trade, block, and specify each to be respectively be "buy" or "Sell" type.
try to do a draw arrow, and use Candle 0.
@krystian yes, that will makes trades, given that the conditions are true in regards with what you want to do with it.
I would search the forums for other projects to see how other people have used blocks. You can copy and paste parts of other persons projects into your own window so that you can figure it out on your own.
I'd start from the beginning too. Use the no trade, the 1 condition, the once per bar, and a buy now block. See what that does, then add a 2nd condition, retest and observe. If you would like to watch exactly what your conditions are doing you can use the Trace Activity block, that will help find any problems too. If what you need is someone to stand over you shoulder and teach you I think L'andorra does that kind of stuff as a paid service.
maybe load the file in metaeditor and remove all audio related coding? lol
