Hi all, As soon as my EA open a trade, the stoploss get directly set to BE and the trade get closed bits by bits within seconds. Even when I try to open the trade manually it does this. However it does not do that all the time and it depends on the instrument. I do not have a single line on my code

Greets, I've been googling around for a solution to this to no avail. Hopefully someone else has experienced this and knows what the solution is. So CopyBuffer() expects an int handle as the first argument. This works fine for most indicators, except iVolume() which returns a long. Typecasting

So what i need to know is the BAR opening time ( SERIES_LASTBAR_DATE ) by having only the position opening time: if ( PositionsTotal () > 0 && _LAST_INCPOS_BAR_TIME == 0 ) { if ( PositionSelectByTicket ( PositionGetTicket ( PositionsTotal ()- 1 ))) { datetime

I need someone who can guide me on how to code trading robot based on the divergence between price and RSI indicator. I can't find someone who can do it for me very quick. The robot must pick trades on the divergence that are on the support and resistance only. The robot must have an ability to

I just saw there is a DDE solution for MT5 that comes with it own DDE-Server! Now I am wondering why there are quite some attempts for trade-copiers based on pipes and sockets but not on that quite simple DDE which exists for Windows  XP,Vista,7,8,10 and even Linux/Wine and probably MAC. One only...

Can someone put here a very easy code in MQL5 to open and close a position. I tried this: PositionOpen , but it doesn't work

As I can request a password from the user so that he can remove the EA from the meta trader, I tried simply putting a return; in the OnDeinit event but it didn't work, AE disappeared from the screen

Hi. It is possible to convert the PERIOD and the ENUM_TIMEFRAMES (PERIOD_M1, PERIOD_H1, PERIOD_D1, etc...) into something like numbers, in example an int variable? In example it is possible to convert PERIOD_M1 into an int? something like int peri = PERIOD_M1; this is useful for me, for in example

I am using the latest build - 3950. If a single agent is enabled then no problems, there is no elevated memory usage and disk usage is near 0% as well. If I enable 2 agents then disk utilization goes to 17%, and the transfer rate is about 500 MB/sec, which goes on as long as the backtest runs

Hello friends My code works like this: In line 56, when the risk becomes 2 to 1, I want the trailing stop to be activated and the trailing stop to go up with each point that the price goes up. For this, I used to store the current price in a global variable. But when I opened several positions at

Hi, I have an issue with file opening during optimization, if the test is ran on visual mode or EA is attached to a chart, the file opening always succeeds, if the file is less than 1.3MB out of 100 passes, the file opening may fail less than 7 times during optimization, with a file greater than

Hi, recently I observed the issue that the MQL method PositionGetTicket() failed. It returned 0 for many, many trials. If this error comes up I still can place orders. But it would be interesting for me to know what a reason might be. Broker error, broker blocks something, merket closed, delay

When using the Python Integration functions history_orders_get() and history_deals_get() , I've noticed that the returned orders and deals always seem to be sorted by their execution timestamp in chronological order. If I can rely on this ordering, it would simplify my logic and enhance the

When it comes to cryptographic algorithms in MQL there is a lot of scattered information and it is difficult to put it together, especially if you want to implement an analogous function in another programming language. I thought it was worth starting a thread where we can share implementations. I'm
