The performance graph and Balance/Equity. There is something that seems odd. On some EA's they plot quite separately. At other times there is no meaningful divergence. I cannot quite place my finger on what is different and why and when it does not graph in the same way. Just sometimes I am...

I am writing an EA to work with multiple pairs at same time. I attached the EA to EURUSD and the EA would do math on other 5 pairs as well.

Hello, programmers, I wrote a simple EA that needs to work only the 4 hour chart. Would you please know how to determine the timeframe of the actual chart? Thank you very much! Pavel

I created a custom indicator that outputs a binary signal on whether to open a trade (0 for do nothing, 1 for open long, -1 for open short). When I attach it to a chart it works as expected and I see the blips of 1 and -1 in the expected locations. I then coded an EA to simply open a trade if the...

Can anyone explain why the following code does not seem to work in a custom indicator? int start() { int TestArray[]; TestArray[5]=99; Print("T: ",TestArray[5]); return(0); } For some reason it just prints "T: 0" as if the value 99 had never been assigned. What am I doing wrong?
