Hello again Andrey.

I'm trying to create a simple entry/exit signal -- using the Trix Oscillator's inflection points as the signal.

When creating the EA, this new Trix Oscillator Inflection Signal is the only signal that I chose.

Yet when I run it in the Strategy tester, this entry signal is completely ignored and entries are made on every single candle.

(The X's on the chart mark the only places I would expect an entry/exit.)


(1) Why could it be ignoring my signal?  (I've checked the greater than/less than comparison math over and over again.)

(2) With no other signal enabled, what could be triggering all these entries?

(3) When saving this as a new "Signals" scheme, why am I not asked "Get <<Use Exit Signal>> from" in the same way it asks for "Get <<Use Entry Signal>> from" ?


I appreciate any guidance you can give me.

Hi, you need to to a bit of debugging.

First, make sure that trix indicator readings are correct in your scheme => you can Print or Comment its values from Indicator Information elements.

You are asked for both Buy/ Sell signals and Close buy/ close sell signals, which is Entry and Exit signals

Okay, thank you.  Will try.

Hi Andrey,
Is there a way to apply one indicator to another... for example to apply MA/TEMA to another indicator?
Or is there some other way, a work around, for getting smoothed indicator values?

Hi, no, there is no such option.

The only way is to create this thing as separate indicator (MA/TEMA applied to another indicator) and than use it from Bots Builder

okay, good to know.
as always, thank you for your quick response.

Hello Andrey,

I believe that my entry filters are functioning correctly as entry filters, but they are also blocking close-buy and close-sells when SL is reached.
What can I do about this?

Sorry, I do not understand your question. If SL is placed on a server side, together with a trade, it can not be blocked from execution

interesting, thank you.  this information helps a lot. 
I will re-examine my strategy tester charts.

Hello Andrey, 

I'm having trouble using Entry Filters, even the built-in ones.  They all seem to work at first (in preventing entries) but once they get triggered to True/On,  they tend to stay On/True.

As an example, doing a 2-day test (using only the in-built code blocks: MA entry signal & Time-Range filter) -- the Time-Range filter will work on day 1. 
It will even turn Off/False properly on day 1.
But the filter will be ignored altogether on day 2.

 


I have a similar problem the built-in STD  filter.  Once it gets triggered on, it just remains on, even if the STD drops well below the  minimum I set.

Hi, thanks. I will check on my side. Have you modified these filter parts in any way? Or use as they are?

Here is an illustration:


And again, strangely, the filter functions properly until the end of day 1, blocking new trades toward the end of the day, when the STD drops below the line.

I was having this issue with filters that I'd made, so I decided to test with your built in filters.
The above two (STD and Time Filter) are your Filters without any alterations by me.

Hi again Andrey  :-)

While we're talking about things, here's a problem I'm having with the Signals.
Below is a simple bot I made using 3 of your in-built components [not modified by me].





Like with the Entry Filter issue mentioned above, this Signal at first functions (mostly) as expected, and then starts malfunctioning somewhat wildly for no reason that I can determine.

you need to apply more filters, like limit number of trades or something.

Please, also try using it on other pairs, start with EURUSD and check it in VISUAL mode, so you can have a better understanding of what is happening. I have checked both signals and filters on my side, works fine for me.

If you still encounter issues, you can send me the complete schemes via PM. But double check them first and run those simpler tests in visual mode.

okay, thank you.  I will try these things.

Hi Andrey, I am indeed discovering that I'm having way fewer problems when running tests on EURUSD than on XAUUSD.
So, thank you for that tip... but ultimately I do want to trade gold, so I'll try to ascertain the specific hang-ups I'm having on XAUUSD, and I'll get back to you by PM.

Sure. Start with making sure that you have a high quality history data.

Good Morning Mister Andrey Barinov I have choose the option Stop loss and Tp but it only apply Tp and not Sl why ?

Hi, please, provide more details about your strategy, scheme and meaning of what "not applying Sl" is.

Hello Andrey,
the Bots Builder Pro is very good. Thanks for the good work.
I would like to place a pending order if there is no current pending order.
If a pending order exists, it should be deleted. I don't know how to get the latest information?
Thank you
