Has anyone noticed the strange new updates from IBFX? Its odd, since I am more than 321 pips in profits for two days..... Anyway, If I were u guys, I would block in my firewall the MetaEDITOR. There is no need for that to access the web. Moreover, I ran some complex algo's and found a bandwidth leak...

I have a situation where the following line: OrderSelect(ticket, SELECT_BY_TICKET, MODE_HISTORY) returns true when I pass it the ticket number of a trade that is a currently openposition. That is not right, is it?

Is it possible for a new tick to interrupt an EA already in progress? If possible,is it probable? If an EA is running and a new tick comes in, is the original run cut off and a newrun started, or does it complete the execution of the first run first? If the new tick will cause the first run to be...

My first post. I´am trying to write some script but my knowlegde of the Metaquotes Language are very limited because I havebeen using for only a week. So, my question is: Is there any way to change the bar color depending on the two indicators values? It´s possible? Using the Awesome Oscillator...

I've manually backtested this EA on USD/JPY, EUR/JPY, GBP/USD, and USD/CHF. I don't find that it works very well on other pairs, but for these four it seems to work well. What I need changed is the cross. I need it to only make the trades on true cross and not a fake cross. I think the EA is sep...

Hi, Here's one of mine that I like a lot. It's a very SIMPLE strategy. EMA Crossovers. I've tried heaps of others out there on the internet, but this one is a little better. I never coded this but paid to have it done, but I'm not 100% happy with it, though it does have HUGE potential if a few...

Hi all, I was just wondering, what EA's are you having success with at the moment from those listed here? What settings did you alter to configure it? How profitable is it? Reason I ask, is I'm not sure why it says 3000+ pips per month here made by the varity of EA's that "work". I've ran...

What else can be done (besides color) with the arrows made by the order function? I like the arrow, with lines for SL and TP. But, I have a client who wants a linefor buy, another for sell and another for profit. Can this be done with the orderfunction's arrow field, or do I need to build them from...

Hi all, What I 'm trying to achieve is that I don't want the EA to enter on the same bar that it took a lost. I can't figure it out.How would one do to put EA on sleep() for like 10 minutes if last trade was a lost? Help would be appreciated. Thanks. Maxime Chartrand.

I read many reports on Intraday exhustion of currency movements. The idea works mainly for GBP/usd : After the currency makes a day H and aday L - check for mid/end Us/Euro Session - if the currency retraced more than 50% of the last H/L - it will not come back to it in the same day. Agood way to...

I know C/C++ and find the syntax of MQL4 to be compatible with C, However thereare annoying differences such as not being able to do a pre decrement operator(--pos), etc. How do you pass arguments to functions that modify the arguments. In C you canuse pointers and in C++ you can additionally use a...

Hi Newdigital, when can we see the situation of EAs? For me (but I think for everybody) may be a useful idea to make a real-time statement of EAs like, for example, Profit Generator. https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/173795 So we can follow and study the performance every 15 minutes. bye felix

Is there a way to create (unless one already exists) a script that can be run to close all open trades of all currencies? When one is testing an EA over multiple pairs (the ability to open trades), one needs to "reset" so that there aren't open trades. Is there a way to create a script that can do...

In functions that reference the bar, just what is used on [0]? For example, what is Close[0]? I would expect it is the current price (bid?).However, my EA isn't behaving that way, so maybe it's something else? Another example, the MA function iMA(.....,0) where that '0' refers to the current bar...
