becareful with psar, its consistently moving the final dot placement. put a trace block on a pass and watch that indicator in real time as your test it.

this is totally my opinion however, others prefer to have everything in 1 place.

Start by splitting the 2 trade trees. Buy should be totally separate from sell when using opposite conditions. I have even grown to building an EA for buys and a separate for sells, just beacause usually the algo for one doesnt always work as well for the other...so complicate everything less and totally separate buy and sell into 2 EAs.

what do you need help with?

@l-andorrà @roar if you have a moment por favor gentlemen?

Hello, I am trying to close each trade, no matter what it is...when it has reached 2.6% of profit from the moment the trade opened, but 2.6% of the 3 day MA. I have used many blocks to try to make it happen but I think it must be done with variables and I am not very good with them admittedly. I will want to set a take profit % too.

@l-andorrà thank you for your addressing, I have scrapped this entire idea.

I think I was trying to limit # of trades, dumb way to try to do it.

@l-andorrà said in Another Custom Indicator Assistance, please:

@jsauter86 Blocks 6 and 12 are looking to different candle ID. Is that correct? On the other hand, your SL distances are huge. Are you sure your balance is big enough for it?

I have updated a bit to better reflect some things that have made more sense, but I do not know how the Waddar indicator is behaving, it isn't right trade action with how I am expecting to how it is configured. Trace doesn't seem to work in strategy tester.

Thank you for taking note, they should both be Candle ID1.

When I am testing new things I set extreme profits to see if they work well for long term even though I like to trade on a shorter term windows.

"I am trying to set a rule that when the red(value3 on chart, buffer 2) crosses over brown (value1 on chart, buffer 0), that is one condition for a short order. Obviously visa versa for green over brown I will go long. I can not find my mistake because I don't understand which piece of information I am supposed to be using." This is what I am not understanding to achieve.

Hello All,
I have an EA for thought but I am unable to logically think how to create it with my limited knowledge and experience here.

I would like to watch for the price to go either long or short 2*ATR or perhaps a certain # of pips, then execute a trade in the opposite direction when the MFI says the trend is going to the opposite direction.

I am unsure mostly on how to wait for price to move before checking other conditions is the simplest way to say it?

Disregard, there are a few issues with this. But I don't even know what that specific block does. Good luck!
