Hello, are backtests really realiable or are they only there to check if the EA works? Best regards.

Dear Traders, I have subscribed for a mt4 signal and my metatrader always calculates a wrong leverage (1:10) for all currency pairs. My broker confirmed that for example the EUR/USD leverage is currently 1:400. This subsequently leads to a wrong ratio of 0.7% (see below logfile content). 2016...

Hi, There's a way to identify if the OnTester call is for a regular or a forward test? It's called twice per test when the forward test is used, one of each time period. I just would like to identify which one it is. Thank you in advice.

Hello, Sorry if this is very basic but I am trying to get a very basic Parabolic SAR EA. Is there one already created? Thanks

I have an .ex4 EA, which seems to be extremely good a loosing consistently. So, keeping the source code exactly the same so it opens positions when it see fit, but with the opposite of what the EA wants. I appreciate that this is a strange request, however, if anyone has any simple ideas I would...

I am interested in automating the new Strategy Tester for MT5. Why? Rather than manually running the Strategy Tester against my EA's with different input parameters, capturing the output reports and comparing them... I hope to do so programmatically. An MQL5 script would be perfect. Is this...

Hi there, I'm a programmer but new to MQL5. I've created an indicator that uses %R to determine buy or sell based on over-bought or over-sold stock.

Hello, I downloaded and imported the 1-minute data from FXDD and use it for my backtests. I realized that no matter what I define for "spread" on the strategy tester, results are the same. So I wonder whether all backtest results will be flawed and why exactly (fixed spread from the data?), so...

I went into this problem recently. I use Trade.PositionClose from the library to close a position. Looking at its code, it uses TRADE_ACTION_CLOSE_BY, which means it is closing by opening a trade in the opposite direction. Problem is that on a pair, trade is disabled. Info says that this symbol is...

Hello, how many trades per week is not considered "Too frequent"? Does this impact on the rank of the signals? Is there a way to know what is the position in the rank for a signal provider ? Thank you

Good day! It is possible that there is a similar topic but couldn't find it in a hurry. So my quiestion: at "trading signals", if the comment column shows "cancelled", does that affect the overall performance of the given signal? For example, if someone cancels his or her trade with -100 dollar...
