BTW this is some awesome programming you have done. Very well laid out and understandable. Thanks a lot.
Thank you...but it's far from perfection...

@ peje and a2xm,

the free range bar converter from the main thread does not work with EAs.
the script provided by Chris in this thread does work with EAs. however, it is not accurate (some bars have higher range) and it generates history files for all currencies, which consumes a lot of system resources.

therefore I modified the free range bar convertor from the main thread. the attached version works with EAs. put it into the indicators folder.

'Dreamliner CRB v2.ex4' made by Crodzilla works fine with 'Range_Bar_indi.mq4' but 'Mpas_EA_v1.6.ex4' doesn't give me a signal on GBPUSD even Crodzilla's EA does. Setings matches to 'mpas_crodzilla.set'
Hopefully everything is set properly and I am just not patient enough or is there special EA option required for working of 'Mpas_EA_v1.6.ex4' ?

I just tried...on my platform the EA works...but it continues deleting trades...this is due to the fact that the indy version does not have Volume count.

My EA checks for Volume, I will definitively solve this issue with the next version.

Generally 'Range_Bar_indi.mq4' works with EAs. I run my own EA with it and it works. The problem with 'Mpas_EA_v1.6.ex4' is the zero divide error. I am sure Chris is able to solve this ...

Here's the new version 1.7...

It's incredible how many details there are to adjust...

Anyway this version fixes all the Zero Divide errors (I hope) and it works even with the Range_Bar_Indi.mq4

I hope all works ok now...

if using the commercial crb or not getting any zero divide errors, no reason to update to 1.7 correct?
nice job chris

On another note, just noticed something interesting in v1.6.
I have gbpusd short in place, and the stoploss is adjusting with every movement of price. I have a feeling this is not supposed to be happening?

It was not a real bug ...it was the spread changing in real time if you have a broker with variable spread...but in v_1.7 it's solved...

V 1.7 is the version to use...it fixes other minor bugs...

Are you using Range_Bar_Indi?

With the commercial script it's working ok...even on AUDUSD

It's a strange problem if it does it only with 1 pair...try to regenerate your offline chart for AUDUSD...

If there's another bug..we will fix it...

Which input ensure the trade is closed at the end of the bar?

Well I have that setting, however the bar closed and the trade was not closed at the end of the bar.

I'm guessing this is potentially a bug or something that needs to be looked at.

Ok the alert pop up and email functions work perfect.

so I guess my question now is... will the EA dump/cancel the trade on the new bar if it was never filled. Because I believe that is the way DL trades, each bar has to meet his parameters or no trade.

just wondering

I'm testing the range bar indy 1.4 and with 1.7

what i don't see is the waiting to trade on the side anymore when i changed from other RB script and from MpasEa1.5

anyone else notice that?

I need to just buy the commerical script

Can you please explain if it was an opened trade or a pending trade?

The trades are closed with stop orders, not with market orders, so there is a stoploss and a takeprofit already inserted in the trade, when that price is hit the trade has to close...
