In my opinion, every trade you consider should be laid out ahead of time with a roadmap. A complete map should have an “off ramp” or a place where it makes sense to enter the market. It should also have exits for your destination (profits) as well as off ramps for emergency exits. This part of your...

Ok, so I have been spending my free time lately working on an EA that will allow me to communicate with MT4 through CSV files.

Greetings all! As they say, a question for the experts! Some time ago I wrote a certain indicator and later developed an Expert Advisor based on it. The idea turned out to be interesting! However, I noticed that everything was working on the history and the system just stood still - the indicator
