Hello, I have recently started transitioning from MT4 to MT5 because of some extra possibilities offered by the MT5 environment. However one point seem critical to be: the ability to use real historical tick data in backtests. On Metatrader 4, some external apps like Tickstory or Birt's CSV2FST...

Hi, I‌'ve bought an EA trade copier on utilities which works perfectly for copying trades from different sources. The thing is, the quality of the sources is completely different from one to the other. And with the one I bought, you can scale lot size to all trades but not by source. So I'd like to...

I'm trying to build a first EA, code below, but it doesn't execute any trades. I know its very simple, but logically I think this should buy and sell. I'm trying to only use code that I understand. I'd appreciate it if anyone had any feedback!
