i have read posts here that say one thing, and my broker says another. Does strategy tester work in mt 4 ? does it work for 'mini' or all? is there any demo strategy tester that works that we can test our advisors before using real money? Thanks,

Use first code snippet: Search/Replace: - Check "Whole word only" - From: i - To: shift Replace all Note the "PRICE_CLOSEshift shift" in the first (and other) lines of the result. ma20p = iMA(NULL, PERIOD_M30, 20, 0, ma_method, PRICE_CLOSE, i); ma20p1 = iMA(NULL, PERIOD_M30, 20, 0, ma_method

A small thing. If you try to place a limit order with an illegal price (e.g. Limit Sell with a price below the current price), the error messge says "Invalid SL/TP" instead of "Invalid Price". Also, it would be nice if the price for the Limit would be pre-filled with the current Bid/Ask so one...

Two-Click-Ordering One thing that is quite high on my wishlist would be a way to easily set the TP/SL based on a pip difference for a manual order. Something similar to how it's done when modifying the order. I can see the problem in this because you'll need to know if it's a sell or and buy...

Hi, No ability to pass parameters to external dll by reference - I get null pointers inside the dll (using the debugger). Workaround is using arrays - but it is not so nice from a programmer point of view. Slawa, when this functionality will be available? Thanks Ruby

I am using a demo account for my code which is based on MT3 API. I used the code one year ago with, of course, another demo account. Recently, I have had connection problem with the code. Always connection fails though the demo account works with MT4 trading station. The server and port I am using...

Hello, I'd like to be able to easily get the lotsize and the dollar value of a single point from within an expert. Reasoning: With brokers beginning to define lot sizes outside the norm (i.e., instead of 100000 units being 1 lot, some brokers are defining odd sizes, such as 70000, as 1 lot), it...

I have a program that is allowed to open several positions at a time. From time to time I want to close all open positions. I use the following loop. It works, but the problem is that it takes several ticks to close them all. Shouldn't this loop in this example go through all open positions and

I'm trying contact strateydbuildfx.com to write a program for me but no answer from them. Can someone provide contact number to them or tell me how can I contact some one for programming.

Hi, I was using the "OrderSelect(1,SELECT_BY_POS);" function in MT4 and I noticed that this function only works if there is a space after the commas. So OrderSelect(1,SELECT_BY_POS); does not work, but ] OrderSelect(1, SELECT_BY_POS); does work. If a programmer forgets to include a space here this...

Hello, Why has MetaQuotes only used the start() function in MACD sample, whereas when I open a blank Expert Advisor ready to start programming in, it shows the start(), init() and deinit() functions. Why are the init() and deinit() functions missing from your MACD sample? Thank you. RJF

I am interested in this question: yes, we can call dll function from EA and pass current parameters there, but how from dll after decision to place order???? The first thing that comes to mind is to return the result so that EA sets the order, but in some other difficult cases, e.g. we decide to

Explanations made by Matthew Kennel Here is a modification of Mindagaus' v034 TSD EA that I made. It has options to choose new entry locations, in addition to the original O'Brien one pip above/below high/low.. They are entering on what I believe is Jacob Yego's rule, and another on "Camarilla"...

This board has the potential to be a great and easy to use forum. I sincerely hope that people use it. It would be a shame to see such a nice asset fade away due to lack of use. Cheers to the creator of the forum for your work and contribution. If enough people come over from the Yahoo group to work...

The demo server has been down twice now within the past 7 days. I can't test my theories if you guys are down. Have you thought about setting up more than one demo server?

There is next situation: 1. I connect to server 2. Start pumping mode 3. If I stop pumping mode I'll be able to start it againg, but only with that instance of object I used first time. So if I want to connect to other server or if I have distroyed the first instance of object I'll not be able to...

Ive been using this for some time and have never had it go down much less in twice.
