Hello, newbie here to MT but wondering can anyone tell me if an MT EA will execute an order intrabar? Unlike "on close". Thank you

I have problems with MT4 running on my computer with say 12 pairs with 4 charts each. That is 48 open charts. With a new computer that has a dual core or quad core processor, will MT4 split and run on each processor thread of the CPU or do I need to have multiple instances of MT4 open to equal the...

I was debating whether or not I should share this. I finally decided that I would because I believe several improvements can be made upon it. This EA has been extremely profitable in backtests going back 7 years. It has ran into some problems in the last month or so and the equity curve has been...

Can someone help me check if this EA is profitable? I have followed all the steps to backtest it and still I am not sure. Currency = EURUSD Timeframe = M5 It is called Breadcombe because it only picks up very small profits here and there. Many thanks.

Hi, I have this very useful indicator that adds vertical lines at the start of the London open, London close, NY open, and New Day (GMT 0:00). I use it on all my charts and it works very well, but it also adds colored Time/Date blocks at the bottom of the chart (see the screenshot), and these...

I have the MT4 Build 204 and this EA will not put in pendings at the proper time. Frankly it does not even put in the pendings half the time. Also I want it only to put in the pendings and if one is hit it cancels the other. Most of all I want it to only put in 1 set of pendings at the time and...

Why is it that an EA will trade when i backtest it but will never execute a trade when i put it on a real or DEMO account?

Hi, I've got metatrader on a computer with windows Me and I'm trying to do a backtest and the EA only makes one or two trades over any period. Over the same periods, the same EA on XP does around 20 trades. The history is 90% on both computers. Why will the metatrader on windows Me only do 2 trades...

Hello, I would like to capture the current value of the chart comment before I display some messages there, then when I'm done displaying the messages, restore it to its previous value. I was looking for something like GetComment() but I could not find it. Is this possible? example: string...

Why is not there? It's useful.. If is there the option somewhere, sorry for the post.

Hello - I was wondering to see if some one could help me I need an EA/script to overcome Metatraders inability to add pending orders I know at what price I want to buy and sell at, which I manually can add in, and the EA/script would loop at tick until it reaches that price and executes itself -...

Sell: 1 - Broking the Up Trend; 2 - Crossing of tow Exponential Moving Average:EMA9 Cross Down...

I have been testing using the Strategy Tester without problems, but cannot seem to get the EA to run under my demo account. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? I have told the Expert Advisor to allow live trading and I have enabled the expert advisors. Thanks for any ideas.

I have begun prgramming my first EA and I realize that it would be useful to have a comprehensive source for all of the available functions with explanation of their parameters. I.E., functions like iMA, Crossed, OrderSend, OrderSelect, etc, etc. Can you help? Thanks.

... we've all heard it, and if oandas trade book is correct http://fxtrade.oanda.com/resources/trastats/positionsummary.shtml 95% is pretty accurate

hi, does anyone knows, in an expert advisor, to program the "OrderSend()" function to open a trade on a symbol different from the one in which the ea is loaded? thanks in advance.

I am accustomed to thinking about programming in terms of subroutines and functions. Just starting to learn MSQl4. I see Moving Average templates as part of the platform that I am using, but my question is this: I want to be able to have a "function" that I can call at each tick and have it return...

I have a demo account with TradeX and have begun reading the course that coders guru wrote. But, I don't believe I have come across where to download the actual MQL4 program, the MetaEditor, Compiler, etc. Did I miss something very obvious? Thanks.

Downloaded zee_zee_i indicator by ZeeJay. An indicator (cci based) that shows in color overbought and oversold levels. Put it on h4 eur-jpy with period 14 and just looked at it. Noticed that when the indicator goes in overbought (red area on my pic) or oversold (green) and than comes out into...

I'm new on this forum....Are there any P&L'ers on this stage? P&L (Point and Line Methodology).? ciao Tonyj

I have been back testing manually using RSI crossover, as signal for BUY and SELL. It seems to be producing good results. But doing it manually can be a little tedious and prone to some human errors. Can an EA help test this more accurately? Another problem, I don't know how to write an EA!

Attached is a screenshot of 3 new indicators I've built that were inspired by the MTF Heiken-Ashi system currently being manually traded. I'm building a new EA called "Delta9" based around these indicators, but I'm curious to know what you think of their visual appeal for manual trading. The first...

I've picked up a great deal on this platform and it is outstanding for a free analytic intelligent tool. I like that I can use it with a great variety of brokers as well. Here is my thought. I am looking for a MT4 platform Tutor who can walk me through a number of functions I have yet to learn....
