HOW do you INSTALL this? I have been trying for a long time. Please advise so that your program is actually workable. A lot of people have already found it difficult to work your code. Please assist in installing everything including the zip file content.

Here is the tutorial on how to work with DLL's:

Here are my own steps for creating and compiling DLL's in MSVC9:

Making DLL:
-----------
Create Project... - Win32 Project (type name) - Select DLL & finish
Type code in name.cpp after #include "stdafx.h":

MT4_EXPFUNC void __stdcall function_name(double* x, ...)
{
}

Modify stdafx.h to contain:
#pragma once
#include "targetver.h"
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#define MT4_EXPFUNC __declspec(dllexport)
#include <windows.h>
#include <math.h>

Project - Add New Item - Module Definition File(.def) - Type name
In name.def add line:
EXPORTS function_name

Settings:
---------
Build - Configuration Manager - Active Solution Configuration: Release
Project - Properties - Configuration: Active(Release)

Project - Properties - C/C++ - Code Generation
Runtime library: Multi-threaded(/MT) - will include dependencies

Project - Properties - Linker - Input
Module Definition File: .\name.def

Using DLL:
----------
Copy name.dll from \Projects\name\Release to \experts\library
Opend EA mq4 code and add

#import "name.dll"
double function_name(double x[], ...);
#import

In MT, Tools - Options - Expert Advisors - Allow DLL imports

This is as far as I go. I am not here to tutor you how to use MT, DLL or write and compile C++ codes. If you don't know MQL4 and C++ programming, then these codes are not for you. If you still have a strong desire to use them, then take programming lessons. There is also an MT support forum

You can post your MT-related questions there.

One more thing. I am not affiliated with creators of MT (metaqoutes) and I am not paid for posting my codes here. I am doing it in my free will. I may decide to remove these codes if I receive too many complaints.

It seems you don't how to help. You have posted a wrong BPNN.dll file. I will post in the forum the appropriate dll and mq4 files for the Neural Network.

Thank you for you answer!

I made a fresh FXCM install and installed the latest files from Forum but I still get an error message. I applied it to the EUR/USD pair. I even turned off the windows firefall, but still I get an error.

I test this with another computer also and it worked very well. I don't know what is causing the error, this can be related to the hadware, drivers, software etc.

Hello

My metatrader hanged when I tried to use this indicator after I installed this as guided

Copy enclosed BPNN.DLL to C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\experts\libraries
In metatrader: Tools - Options - Expert Advisors - Allow DLL imports

I got this error:

It is hard to say what gone wrong. The problem with attaching a DLL to an MQL4 code is that any error inside a DLL will cause a crash without a clear message what happened. The most frequent one is trying to pass an array to the DLL of the wrong size. Try to reduce numInputs to 3 and see what happens.

I am very interested in your project. But I can not install it at all. Please explain me in detail. Please help me.

I want indicator or EA to make money or to +10 pip

Thanks very much for sharing this project.

I need to know from your experience, can someone use this type of Neural Networks (FFNN) to predect the EA will win or lose.(for example we train this type of Neural Networks when the EA will lose and when it will win with Stoploss and Takeprofit. or it just use for predect next price and there is another type of Neural Networks is using for this purpose?

If you arent smart enough to install this on your own you arent smart enough to know extrapolation of any kind has innaccuracies, and thus must be watched very closely so an EA would be inadvisable.

Aleksander Szablewski 2009.10.24 21:37 #26

Unfortunately it's not about recompiling the dll.

You use pointers in function declarations while MT4 doesn't allow this kind of access. In effect it crashes on memory access.

The dll code needs to be revised to allow the MT4 pass plain data structures.

What Mt4 version did you use to create the code?

Hi did uyou solve the problem? I get the same

Aleksander Szablewski 2010.03.30 19:51 #28

Mr. gpwr,

You need to fix NN release (~NN).

Don't tell helpless users to fix your bugs. They don't even know what you're talking about.

The bug releases part of memory used by MT4 (or double free) and affects Windows GUI.
This is severe bug as it not only crash terminals but also can crash the whole Windows so all you can do is to press Reset button... and pray it will start up next time.

Fortunately I have Wndows box on VM :-) Poor Windows users...

Temp fix:

go to Train() and Test() and comment network release:

//bp->~NN();

Of course this will create memory leaks but it's enough to play with it for a while...

Ah, for those who just want the new dll: http://codebase.mql4.com/en/code/9599

It do not work; the red line change with every candle; you can test it with the estrategy tester in visual mode, just attach any EA and the indicator and look what happend. I test it for 4 months obviously with the strategy tester, and it have many fake and wrong signals; well at least in the pair EURUSD in H1

How do I enable Drag and drop SL test on EURUSD,H1 strategy
