Hey, the Bee is back again with questions. I've read a few threads, where traders take into account the percent of risk they're ready to take. (e.g. %5 of Free Margin or so) which is understandable. then I read some EA codes and some scripts, which try to calculate the lot size, based on where

Hi there,I have been writing a few expert advisors for the past weeks and mostly they work well but for some reason I often find that on GBP currency pairs some of them only open 1 trade and no more.

Hi, I've searched for an 'upgrade' as I recently found that almost all Renko builders recalculate. I use Renko. The solution is to anchor it in time (set a start date) but i do not know how.

Hi, I just switched from MT4 to MT5 and what a pain converting from MQL4 to MQL5. A major problem I cannot solve is how to have several orders (MT4) in the same symbol each with a different stop loss (SL). E.g. Order 1, buy opened at 1.22, SL 1.20 Order 2, buy opened at 1.25, SL 1.22 Order 3, buy...

Hi all, I have written and currently run a mulit-symbol EA in MT4which monitors and trades a portfolio of appox 300 stock-CFD’s. I have effectively re-written it for MT5 because the brokerI now prefer, uses MT5 instead. The code uses a timer initiated For Loop which cyclesthrough the symbols, tests...

Gentlemen, I would like to know if you know any script to update the graph with automatic frequency every 10 min. Thank you.

For me, volatility situations were always times when I decided to shutdown my EA. I felt that my servers would never be fast enough to trade news or, for example, central bank decisions. Now and then I try to keep up with new developments, so my question would be if there are any positive news about...
