Hello good morning! I have a problem by installing an indicator. I downloaded the Didi-Index-Indicator from the bibliothek, put it in the MQL4 folder (Indicator). But when I open the MT4 again I can`t see the indicator. What is the problem. Thanks for our help. Hans

I'm running a backtest on one of my EAs on mt4 build 625 and suddenly the backtester will stop, like it is paused but I didn't pause it (also I'm not running visual mode). It seems to always do this whenever 7 trades are opened simultaneously. Then I ran it in visual mode at the dates where the...

Hello, I started learning MQL, I have written following code. I started off from a code from web, but because it was too complicated, I tried to distill it down to small IF and FOR conditions, which I understand a bit. It is very simple because right now these are the only chapters I have finished

Hi all! I have some accounts mt4, strategy tester M1 can run before 2:50 10-April and after 12-April, it lost data in 10 - 12 April. What's happen?

Hello, Any chance that a unit testing framework exists for MQL4/5? (Something along the lines of JUnit for example). I am finding with complex EAs that debugging and testing efficiently is somewhat of a challenge in MQL4. I haven't tried MQL5 yet to know if it is any better in this regard. Thank...

In my initial topic I asked whether there may be a new release of MetaTrader4 because I had issues with 625/628 not migrating all data to the users folder.
