Would it be possible for someone to explain how i may be able to implement a trendline within my EA?

hello coders; could you just help me with a piece of MQL4 code that i can include in my EA to identify support and resistance levels Or the principle which i can make use of to code it.

Over the past decade or so I’ve always preferred manual trading and educated other people based off of that. However as technology and finance in general evolved (and my brother who worked for JP Morgan put the words “algorithmic Trading” in my head), I knew that I had to as well. However does a

Hello All, In my EA I want to send an order and monitor its individual executions, if any. To do so I implemented the OnTradeTransaction() method to intercept each execution. However, I'm experiencing different behavior when running my code in the Strategy Tester and when running it  as if in...

Hey, the Bee is back again with questions. I've read a few threads, where traders take into account the percent of risk they're ready to take. (e.g. %5 of Free Margin or so) which is understandable. then I read some EA codes and some scripts, which try to calculate the lot size, based on where

Hi there,I have been writing a few expert advisors for the past weeks and mostly they work well but for some reason I often find that on GBP currency pairs some of them only open 1 trade and no more.

Hi, I've searched for an 'upgrade' as I recently found that almost all Renko builders recalculate. I use Renko. The solution is to anchor it in time (set a start date) but i do not know how.

Hi, I just switched from MT4 to MT5 and what a pain converting from MQL4 to MQL5. A major problem I cannot solve is how to have several orders (MT4) in the same symbol each with a different stop loss (SL). E.g. Order 1, buy opened at 1.22, SL 1.20 Order 2, buy opened at 1.25, SL 1.22 Order 3, buy...

Hi all, I have written and currently run a mulit-symbol EA in MT4which monitors and trades a portfolio of appox 300 stock-CFD’s. I have effectively re-written it for MT5 because the brokerI now prefer, uses MT5 instead. The code uses a timer initiated For Loop which cyclesthrough the symbols, tests...

Gentlemen, I would like to know if you know any script to update the graph with automatic frequency every 10 min. Thank you.

For me, volatility situations were always times when I decided to shutdown my EA. I felt that my servers would never be fast enough to trade news or, for example, central bank decisions. Now and then I try to keep up with new developments, so my question would be if there are any positive news about...
