Hello Fellow traders! I would like to invite 10 traders to join me in a new test market rebate program offer through one of the largest brokers in the US. A few of their strong points include: # Metatrader 4 # 2-pip spread on EUR/USD and USD/JPY # 3-pip spread on GBP/USD and USD/CHF # consistent...

Is it possible to change multiple charts, you have set up in MT4, in one action, rather than chnage each chart individually. If I have 4 charts on 30 mins I would like to chnage them quickly to say 5 mins without doing each one seperately.

I have had lots of problems with the backtesting in Metatrader and I have asked around. It seems that everyone in the community is having the same reliability problem; hence, Metaquotes needs to address this issue. For instance I only trade the Euro and have designed 6 EAs using 6 different trading...

It summarizes the tests of blade server, uninterruptible power supply, and net equipment. Stanislav Starikov, the Member of the Automated...

Has anyone ever made FFT for MT4 or know if it is available? I Think it would be nice to have that to get more accurate periods for other indicator inputs.

Hi, I just wanted to ask if there is any possible way I can prepopulate the stop loss and target when I try to enter a new instant order. I would like it to be set already like 10 pips away from entry in both direction. Also, when my metatrader upgraded, now everytime i turn it back on, it does not...

I trade with an EA. Tonight my trades are hitting their targets, but not closing. A couple have actually gone passed the target and not closed. My broker says it might be due to an API upgrade that MetaQuotes did this weekend. Is that possible and what is the fix for this?

Is it possible to turn off logging? I tested one script and I had a 27gb big log file? Thx Dejan

So far, Metatrader seems to be a pretty awesome platform. The backtesting seems reliable as I can match it to the backtesting of my own software. It also appears to match live trading. The scripting language is wonderful. I've been able to reproduce my own software which took 6 months to develop in...

I have been backtesting a system that has given some very nice results. It is very simple and an indicator could be made to apply signals directly to the chart. I would appreciate if someone could make this, it is very simple and wouldn't take much time. Here are the rules... You need to overlay a...

In the championship, one server has many EAs in it. If different EAs happen to have the exactly same name global variables. Doesn't one EA interfere with another EA with the same global variable? Global variables of the client terminal are accessible simultaneously from all MQL4 programs...

Could anyone code an ea for me that very simply closes any open trade on the chart when the next zigzag pointer appears? Very simple action. Arrow appears and the open trade is immediately closed. No need to open any new trades. Thank you in advance for your help. Rico

The latest change to the comment column in the trading history tab of terminal, to show the comment instead of "complete", is good, but what is really needed is two colums, one for the comment, and one for the status complete/cancelled. A separate status column would allow me to see the comments...

I'm writing/testing an EA that returns error 130 on every attempt to buy or sell. I actually copied the entire buy/sell logic from another EA that works perfectly and am using zero (0) in the stop loss parameter just as the working EA does. Can there be another reason for this? I'm stumped... Thanks...
