Hello again everyone, thank you for the swift and immediate help.
I've always tried to help others in my life since I was young, giving up everything for everyone and anyone no matter what it cost me. I'm a lot older now and I'm stretching myself thin! I use to trade willy nilly, no real plan just.. "Oh, this looks good!" Long story short, I had no mentor, no guidance, lots of mental anguish. Several years later after my military service the switch flipped. I'm doing all the psychology work, the positive affirmations and building my discipline. None of it matters if I am not consistent. Which is what I'm striving to do, Xard and all of you have proven if you're consistent with this system, you are DOOMED to succeed. To anyone else who may be struggling, look in the mirror, be honest with yourself, point out your bad behaviors, and then you can begin the work needed to win. FOMO, overleveraging, yolo positions, bad position entries, closing winners, letting losers run. Anything you're not supposed to do, I have done, which is interesting because of all I've achieved outside of trading you'd assume I could follow a simple set of rules.. Buy low, Sell high, secure profits, set and forget, KISS - KEEP IT SUPER SIMPLE!
Enough of that, now onto my requests and observations!
Thank you Xard, Cagliostro, Curioso, and RollerAndTrading!
MT4 to MT5 Desires
EA - On MT4 I had a simple EA I do not have the source for, I see some success from you all using GROK to code, I wanted to see if there was a base out there somewhere as I have very little experience coding so I would not know how to grade the result GROK produces. Here is an image below of what I had, and an MT5 version of what I have currently, it works for now but it constantly changes my TP and SL, where as
MT4 version would allow me to plot a trade and it would only apply TP, and SL ONE time, after that I could edit it as I see fit. This MT5 version I have CONSTANTLY changes the TP and SL if I edit it manually so it is actively managing the position where as I would prefer it only do it for me initially when the trade is placed. I like to use the FVG's and Dots depending on my entry so.. a fixed SL I cannot freely manage is a pain, the MT4 version allowed me to do this with ease. Could anyone make any suggestions?
Current MT5 EA I'm using if it interests anyone else for the time being. I am trading mainly to grab 30 pips as
ODJ does since I don't have much screentime, I am going to buy this EA he has when I have the money!

Just broke right now haha, but Xard has increased my profits from my tiny investment so far, I am going to compound my way to my goal.
NOTE: I tried XARD EA, as I used it on MT4 on my main chart to utilize the Close and Panic buttons, and I had my other EA on a separate chart to manage my Trailing profit, I am not getting any success with "Fixed" TP/SL on Xard, I see he is actively making updates so until then Im looking for something that can help me have that freedom!
I've updated to the newest oracle version, THANK YOU
Cagliostro!
I think there is a small issue with the alerts for the newest version from
April 9th, I selected TF_M15 and it began to spam the alert despite having default settings, the previous version did not do this. Just some feedback, however paired with the auto refresh it looks very good now, thank you two!
Also
Musashi, your trades have been great visuals for me just like Curioso's visuals. Once I am a little better I'll begin posting my trades and maybe recording a timelapse for others, once I learn how to record..
Alerts - On MT5 I have had no success with
push notifications of my desired alerts from the terminal to my
mobile device, it only sends me my trade information. Where as MT4 would tell me if a triangle was printed. I wanted to get alerts for when The Oracle prints a new value and the triangle prints in the future on my phone as I normally cant sit too long at my pc, I work long hours and have to prepare everything for my long commute to work. It helps me trade during london and for my lunch break during NY time for the 30 minutes of screentime I get, anything that can make it easier will help me out. Thank you! I believe I need "PUSH" notifications?
XARD: Triangle "PUSH" notifications should be in the next update.
