Good day to all. I have two last questions for the forum that should shut me up for quite some time so Steve please forgive me for my ignorance once again. My first question is with Desky:
My Entry Signals are opposite of my Exit signals. So knowing that you can close and open at the same time. What is the fastest way to get back in. Setting desky to 1 min with 1 min max signal has been doing double entries, I'm guessing because there is seconds left or something. I probably sound like an idiot lol. But you don't know what you don't know. I am currently using 5m checkins with 5 min max age as a work around
My Second is in reference to Tdesk:
I've been in Tdesk trying to get fancy and Set up re entry signals within the current trade. By doing so I have two indicators that would need to go the opposite direction and return to the the trade direction in order to re enter. So I have both of those on the Veto on Disagree Signals and set to "all" To my understanding for a re entry the trade has to go flat and return. Trying to think through the logic once one of the two indicators return to trade side the trade is again valid, even though I would need both to return. I thought that all rentry signals would require the 100 solo entry signal just like the regular entry however that has not been my experience thus far. Is there a way to accomplish this or am I chasing my own tail here? Maybe a reset on Veto option could be added in the future? Thanks for your time.

Hi Osito.

I understand what you want to accomplish - a different logic for entering and exiting the VETO state. I don't think I will go that route. There are too many ideas to further complicate TDesk's signal processing and I like it as it is.

Another project in my pipeline might come to your rescue though. I am planning to provide a framework that will make it VERY easy for those with at least a minimum of coding knowledge to create their own TDesk indicators. The framework will even enable to combine existing indicators into a single signal having its own logic. This should exactly solve your problem.

So if you are not already in the group mentioned, time to start learning some basic MQL ...

Stay well
Thomas

Hey Thomas,

Tracking all. Glad to know I wasn't going crazy trying to accomplish the impossible and failing lol. In the meantime, I'll try to adjust the indicator to show what I need in one swoop. Then I can use one indicator as the veto and get re entryies. Your project should be awesome to those of us who aren't legit with mql4. I'm familiar with pinescript and it's similar ... sometimes. But they are definitely not the same. Either way, I'll get her done. I'm not one who like to wait so i'll get crackin on that and try to fix my own issues. Thanks for your time. Happy Holidays from the US.

Good Morning,

I really need your help, the new implementation of the trailing stop in conjunction with break even, in my case it is not working as I expected, I am probably doing something wrong which is the most certain because I doubt there are any code errors.
In the images below shows how I have configured it.
What I imagined this configuration to do was the following:
1º Reaching a profit of 40 pips, a stop loss of 30 pips is created by the break even, which in fact does so in an exemplary manner;
2nd When creating the 30 pips stop loss and reaching 40 pips or higher the trailing stop starts to follow the price at a distance of 15 pips increasing the stop loss, I am not getting this done, except in some trades , but for most it didn't
So I asked a charitable soul to elude me because for weeks I have tried to change the settings and I have not been successful.

Now I have a question for Thomas, on tdesk the news report has stopped appearing, will it be a problem on my part? It had never happened to me and this happens to me on all active platforms.

Cheers,
RMSSC :hi:

Is there a kind soul who can help me with this problem?
I would really appreciate it, because all the attempts I made, I was unable to come up with any solution :arrrg: .
It is true that I am doing something wrong.

You want to say that there are no news shown? On Forex pairs? On VPS or local machine?

Correct,
There is no news on Tdesk on any machine I have hosted Tdesk on, however I can open the Forex Factory link "Open FF Calendar".
This never happened to me until 2 months ago!
I honestly don't know what I might be doing wrong!
Are the news dependent on any particular file?

This seems an issue affecting only you. Try a TDesk with default settings.

Hi Thomas,
I put the standard tdesk on the platform but the news still doesn’t appear, I even set up a new Empty4 with all the default settings and downloaded all the files but the problem persists, I honestly don’t know what I’m doing wrong or what is creating this problem, this never happened to me.
Is there any other way to find out about my problem?
Cheers,
RMSSC
