I've got a P850 laptop that I don't use much, and I'd like to run 100-hour MT4 optimizations on it. The problem is that MT4 runs the CPU at 100% and after about 5 hours, the system overheats and reboots itself. Does anyone know of a way to force MT4 to run at 50% CPU utilization? Is it possible?

I started fooling around with this code tonight in an effort to reduce mutliple orders going through at the same time when backtesting and to fix the problem where it keeps ordering stuff at an old price and selling at a newer price. This seems to do a good job slowing down the order flow and is...

As per the subject, this new v177 doesn't compile MQ4 on start-up. I wish you guys could incorporate some changelog as I've been bleating about on a number of threads. You pop up a LiveUpdate and no-one knows what we're getting ourselves in for. I think most people would prefer to see the standard...

Thanks for the changes in 177 backtesting... it now does seem to work much better than 176!! I still have a bit of a mystery: my gridmaker handles both long and short grids at the same time. In forward testing, this works as expected. In backtesting, it does not. For example, If i run 'longs only'...

I've been using the backtester to look at some of the results from grid systems, mostly based on hdb's GridMaker, however unless my vision is completely cockeyed, it seems that the backtest report has _no_ mention of open trades. At least before in the initial version you could see the almighty...
