MQL4 manual states that: "An Advisor starts to run with every incoming tick for a given symbol. The Advisor will not be launched for a new, tick if it is processing the previous one at this moment (i.e., the Advisor has not completed its operation yet)." My question is it possible to overcome this...

Ok, I'm having 2 issues, first, when Adjust_sl_ap is true the EA should adjust SL to average price since im scaling in positions this would be PositionGetDouble(POSITION_CURRENT_PRICE) right?? and secondly, when adjust_sl_ap is false it should use a trailing position, but for some reason trailing...

Hello all. I am trying to put together an EA that uses Limit Pending Orders. This is the function used. As one can see, it is the exact same as the function in the avoitenko EA, except ORDER_TYPE_BUY_STOP has been changed to ORDER_TYPE_BUY_LIMIT. The function is only called when the current tick...

Hello All, I am new to programming and have a couple of easy questions. 1. Is it better (or even possible), to have one EA scan for conditions and make trades on many pairs, or do I need a chart window for each time frame? 2. I read somewhere it is possible that if you have two EA's running at...

Is any example code for this purpose. thanks

Dear all, I am finding a problem in invoking functions of a C# DLL from MT5 into Win7 64bit; everything runs smoothly into my x86 laptop, therefore I assume there is something stupid I miss, so here is my short story: - Have this nice DLL, doing a lot of cool calculations, to be used into my Expert...

In MT4's ticket-based system, it was fairly easy to manually close one EA's position if I had multiple EA's trading the same pair on the same account. e.g. EA #1 places EURUSD SELL order for 0.1 lots @ 1.30000, EA #2 places EURUSD SELL order for 0.1 lots @ 1.29000 and EA #3 places EURUSD SELL order...

What is a simple method to figure out that the last trade done was a loss?

It would be great if it were possible to script execution of metatester, through the CLI. So, one could call the exe, pass it a .set file, and have it back-test a .mqh file and output the results to a log file.. c:\>metatester64.exe /run MyExpert.mq5 /set MyExpertSettings.set /logfile MyExpert.log

I donot know what is this error, can you help me?

ike a lot of other people in this forum I am having serious problems understanding what "invalid stops" means (and the infamous 4756 error). Apparently this error is returned when a stop loss or take profit order is too close to the current price, but how close is too close? How is this calculated?...

There are quite a few things to relearn in MQL5. Sometimes its a struggle. But there are also great benefits. One feature i absolutely love is the "struct". It makes returning several different values and data types from a function so simple and elegant. Kudos.

Hello eveyrone (and merry christmas !) I'm really starting with mt5, so I don't have much knowledge. I guess it will appear as a very basic question, but here it is: Let's say I want to create a robot which will will automatically buy EURUSD and then sell it after 1 hour. And then repeat that. How

Creating a new library with a simple test function and use it in an EA does not work now. Some month ago I converted a MQL4 library containing a logging funktion.
