I ran a long optimization over night and when I try to run through individual results the EA does not trade and there is an "old tick" error, any ideas why and how to get around this? Seems as though the overnight option was pointless as I cannot even analyze individual results. 2015.04.24 10:14...

I understand that mt5 auto downloads history data when starting a back test but I was wondering if that is the data for all time frames or just the selected time frame? Would I need to run it on all time frames if I need the data from all time frames?

I see the rent buttom  but can't buy.

On live data, the spread is about 10 points: However, one day later, when I test EA with the tick data on the same day, the spread is 20 points. Question: 1. Why history spread is twice the live spread? 2. Is there a way to set history spread? Thanks!

Hello forum, good day. How can a diagonal line be created in MQL4?

Hi All I work as a control systems engineer, but have always been interested in investing/trading. However I've never quite found the right community to ask questions, engage my interest and get me over the hump of being clueless to all the terminology and buzzwords used within this field. I

hi there, every body. was wondering if any one could throw in a line of code to disable EA from trading on a specific day? i, personally dislike fridays, so lets take that for example. so, this is the code - it closes all trades, and restarts the EA if equity has grown. so, my idea is - after...

Hello, how should I make my EA aware that a stop loss has occurred please? At the moment, when this happens, a lot of errors occur because the program doesn't know the position has been closed automatically. Thank you.

Hi, To get the best performance I'd like to get when optimizing the profit in point rather than the profit in money, regardless the lot size. Is there any way to do that ?

Hi, I Back-tested my EA, took 2 days. When the results came out, I selected one of the Optimization test outputs, entered the input values into strategy tester and tested it. It worked. I restarted MT4, using the same inputs, same chart, same time frame and intervals - I get quite a different...

Dears, there are many articles concerning newly built EA trailing stop classes, but 4me the MTx built in function would do! Is there any way for an EA (calling to internal .dlls etc) to call the INTERNAL trailing stop as the user would do with the mouse on the terminal screen? Best REgards Hans

so, ive noticed this quite a few times - i do an optimization of an EA, i randomly pick a result that has used specific settings, and profited the tested time period, but when i launch it to see either visually, or without - it fails, thus not representing the result given by optimizer. genetic...

Hi, MT4 question. I wonder if somone has a script or EA that can be set on the terminal to watch the "My funds/credit", and if the funds will get smaller than for example 1000 USD It should disable autotrading, and then closes all open trades.

Hi, I'm being told that the tester for MT4 cannot be used to test "past live" results. This is what I mean: I buy some EA and I optimize it for a period from 1 year + 6 months ago to now (2015.4.14). Now, I could start the EA but instead I wait a month. It is now 2015.5.14. I did nothing to the...

hi there, guys! i have this little piece of code here that does the following - records your balance, and once equity reaches a specific percent growth over that mark, it closes all trades. could some one maybe edit it just a bit so it would do the same, but in the opposite direction? if equity...
