Hi, Just out of curiosity does anyone know why the appearance of objects varies when I run EA in the tester visual mode? Below pic is an example. Some of the rectangles have fill while others do not. This is not a problem but it would be nice to know why this is so. Thanks! Br, Candles
Hi All, I'm trying to have my EA pause after a deal was closed so that he does not re-open a position for "x" amount of candles. I tried to achieve that using  the pause function but when back testing it seems like the pausing is not applied.  Is there another way I could do that, that would work...

I have come across 2 potentially good systems using TOM DEMARK's methodologies. I'm not sure if these have already been programmed for MQL5. If not, will someone take the ball and run with it.. giving us these INDICATORS or EA's ? System A : http://forex-onderyworldscorp.blogspot.com...
Whenever I make a change to my Advisor I cannot get meta trader 5 to pick up the changes. For example if I change one of the global inputs in the code, reload the advisor by right clicking it and hitting refresh. Then right clicking test on the advisor again it will always remember my previous...

  Debugging an EA  (11   1 2)
Hi guys, I need your help. I am new to developing EAs and I have troubles debugging my code. If I use the debugging tool, after defining my breakpoints and start the tool, the application doesn't do anything: it runs (I can pause it or stop it), but it doesn't go to the any breakpoint or finish...
I am calling the TRIX indicator in an EA to calculate some values. The moving period can vary so I am calling it within a function and not within the OnInit() function. The issue I am having is every time the moving period changes, it adds a new indicator to the chart. Is there a way to either...
Hi All, Doing some back test I realised that there are some hours where the EA does not perform well. See below Chart. First I was wondering is this chart from the MQL5 strategy tester based on the opening Hour of the deal or closing hour of the deal? I guess opening but not sure. So...
Hi Guys, Very basic question but I can't seem to be able to get around it: How do I write an on chart comment with multiple lines ? Comment("Comment Ligne One","Comment Ligne Two"); Thanks

The MT5 EA results tab does not contain the details of each trade like MT4 had. &nbsp;Is there a way to get that same data in MT5 without having to write code?

I cleared out all the entries in my object list and then ran my EA which is a modification of the 'sample macd' EA.  I ran it for a limited time span of just a couple days, but I got arrows indicating trades outside of the range I ran on the EA.  What am I doing wrong?

Hello, I have developed a robot which uses Bars() function to detect new bars through a simple code which checkss number of bars increases. The problem is that suddenly, Bars() function does not work properly when the robot is running on the terminal, as it always returns the same number of bars...
Hi, I'm debugging expert advisor and for unknown reason I get the following error at random: 2013.02.12 16:46:25 Experts initializing of BreakOut ( EURUSD ,H1) failed I'm confused because then when I wait a little while and try the debuggin again without any change in the code it works no
Hi Im just curious about something, if i backtest my EA during the same period at the ATC, would the results be comparable. I understand there would be a slight difference due to slippage but apart from that, can i compare it against the best EA made?
So far it looks like you can customize just about every aspect associated with automated trading. Except for the optimization algorithms used when optimizing a given strategy. So for instance if I had a specific type of GA or maybe a different stochastic optimization technique I want to use....
I'm getting the wrong values returned from the function ObjectGetValueByTime. First I create the object with:ObjectCreate(0, DivName, OBJ_STDDEVCHANNEL, 0, fromDate, fromPrice, toDate, toPrice); Then I try to get the first value with:double FirstPrice0 = ObjectGetValueByTime(0, DivName, fromDate,...
Hi all, Im building my own ea and my next step is to test it on past ticks to get the best settings. I already searched for it, but nothing matched. Do i need the mql5 strategy tester for this or can i do that anyhow else ? Looking forwarad to your answers, Harald
I'm confused with this problem. Below are the parameters and still I get the "invalid stops" error: rates[i].close=1.29171 rates[i].close is the close of the bar at which I'm placing the pending buy stop order i.e. the current price. request.price=1.29185 request.price is the price at which I'm...

Question, How do I get clean tick data? I've heard other people taliking about it on various forums.  I have some new EAs that I've had built and i've ran them through the strategy tester on MT4 when I run the exact same settings on the same EA on the same pair on...
So i did a strategy test with a new ea. First optimized over the last 3 years and then tested some with what i thought good results on only 2012. And now i think ive got one of the better ones selected. But how do you select you best settings? On draw down? Profit? Recovery factor? Winning %?...
I am trying to import the values of a few technical indicators into a SQL Server database, but the values that my script returns do not match exactly to the values I see on my charts. Even though the open/close/high/low values do match perfectly. Of course I have double checked that I am using the...
Hi everybody,Im new here and just want to learn how to use mql5 for my purposes, cause every api provided by any broker is either too expensive or just trash.
