Hello, First, thanks fot the V4 release, there are really some super improvements -well done to the team! As the backtesting came into operation, I could not help myself from looking at this in detail. My first run seemed super and I then did an optimisation which worked very well - on 6 weeks of...

(I got a memory dump screen with forced me to...

Hi Metaquotes, I was wondering if there are any limits as to the number of orders each account can have open at any one time? I'm wanting to run an expert that may have thousands of small orders open at once - would this be a problem?

Hi Metatrader Can you please insert S/L and T/P paste buttons in your "new order" window. At the moment, when I put in a trade, I click the &quot;buy&quot; button then afterwards modify the order to put in a stoploss and T/P. It would be a lot safer and more convenient (do not have to type in S/L...

MetaQuotes, Is there any chance of you guys maintaining a changelog for Metatrader 4? Whilst I think everyone appreciates continual improvements and bugfixes to the client platform, it's vital all users are kept up to date with these changes to ensure our code bases are not impacted.

I would venture to say that grids are a system that takes advantage of randomness in the markets. They work without regard to the technicals or the fundamentals so two things would seem to be possible: 1) They work in the long run in which case markets would become pointless since they would...

I WANT TO DIVIDE DATA IN A BUFFER BUT IT DOESNT WORK for(i=0; i<limit; i++) ind_buffer1[i+1]=(ind_buffer2[i]*(1-ka)-ind_buffer3[i]*(1-kb))/(kb-ka); IS IT CORRECT?

Is there any way to automatically convert MT3 (3.85 build 185) expert programs (Meta language II) to MT4? Is there any possibility or have I to do it manually?

It's taken me 2 days, but I finally figured out why my trailing stops are not working. Trailing stops are not working with stop orders. Trailing stops work with OP_BUY and OP_SELL, but they do NOT work with OP_SELLSTOP (and probably OP_BUYSTOP). // Adjust Trailing Stop on SELL order...

Hi :) I have a question about code optimization in MQL4. I want check in my expert if MACD main line is over/below some levels - lets say levels of average H-L of bars. Should I create indicator and call it from the expert or put this code into the expert? What does work faster? I want create...

Wait, I figured it out. Maybe this is what some others have already pointed out. If I set the Use Date to 6/1/2005 which is June 1st on the Settings tab...the Results show trades for JANUARY 6th...not JUNE 1st !!! Did anyone test this before you released it? Final release my rear end.

Unfortunately, some traders absolutely do not think about real trading. Using experts they expose hundreds orders, delete them, and execute completely wild trading operations. For example, users of the strategy based on grids (Grid). Naturally, on real accounts it at all will not pass. And...

Is it possible to use a 10 minute time frame for the strategy tester, since this is the basis of my strategy.
