Hi, I'm just starting out in Forex trading and MQL4 (started a few days ago!). Currently, I'm writing a first EA for detecting and trading on breakouts. The algorithm detects entry positions relatively well, however to find a good exit point is difficult. Which leads to my question: is it always...

Hi, I am just worried that the EA I coded might bombed the broker server with open or close order requests when the order request fails because the market is closed for the weekend.

Thanks...

MQL4.com is great but there isn't any file repository for things like templates, PDFs (for example trading algorithms) and other MT4 client terminal related files. For example, how about a sound repository for sound files? Or a place where we can exchange profiles? The "Code Base" is for code...

It has 3 external options which I have added to the iCustom but when I try to test the EA in the strategy tester it gets to about 50% on the progress bar and hangs...

Has anyone found the way to grab the default values that the MT4 platform enters into the "fixed minimum" and "fixed maximum" fields? If no fixed max or min is entered the platform automatically presets a variable max and min value to match the values entered into the default buffers. Those values...

I have built and tested an EA & found that it didn't work to code when backtesting. Specifically, the stop loss function. I downloaded the sample codes (moving average & MACD) and tested them with the same result despite those EAs having a stop loss exit function. On checking the code, I realised...

If iMAOnArray has the number of elements that are initialised passed as a parameter it works correctly but if zero, meaning the whole array is used, then the...
