I'm on eastern time (USA). My Oanda account chart starts on Sunday in the afternoon. When does MetaTrader start the chart activity and where is the primary source of the data feed? How do I set my beginning day to match the data feed? Thanks for the help. MCR

My apologies for this simple question from someone new to this piece of SW. I have excellent internet connections and no problems with them. But, the MetaTrader tool, after a while, just stops updating the charts. Nothing I can do seems to bring it alive again. When I refresh a chart the log says...

Hi, In spite of my research, I did not find a detector of triangle for MT4. So I try to code this... But I've a problem, I use ZigZag indicator to detect last peak or trough but I do not know how to use it. It is very easy to know the value (ZigZag) of the last bar (with iCustom) but I want the last

Hi I am making an EA based on more than one currency pair. But I can't get it to work. I want to read ex. MA from EURUSD and trade on GBPUSD. double dSMA=iMA("EURUSD",30,21,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1); double dSMA=iMA("GBPUSD",30,21,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1); Is this correct? Is it possible? I can't...

Hello, Like everyone else, I started trading with the prospects of a lucrative income. After spending most of the last year on various forums, trying EA's on demo accounts, and finally opening a live account -- I've come to the conclusion that I will simply be throwing money away if I don't humble...

This EA forced me to call it Solo because, for some reason, it just refuses to trade if there are any open trades in the terminal... e.g. manual trades and/or trades executed by other EAs - even if they are in other currencies. If there are no trades and the conditions are right Solo makes its move

Hi, I am trying to get a hold of a full 4h AUDJPY history file for 2006-2007. I have tried downloading the full thing from meta but I get a gap for October and November. I know this is an issue and so I went online trying to find it elsewhere. I have found that Alpari's databank used to contain an

As you all know the MT4 comes with an inbuilt EA named moving average. I knew this is no good otherwise people would not have been here in TSD. I backtested this EA for 2006-07 with 90% modelling quality and it gave it 2179 pips LOSS. Only change I made was setting Max Risk at 0.05 instead of 0.01....

Hi everyone, I'm experiencing an issue while calling the indicator StepMA_v7.1 (written by Igorad) from an EA. I don't get the same results as the ones I see on the chart. For instance, when the trend is clearly red (all drawn in red), I get many up trend signals. Here is the code of my "EA" : int...

Hi everybody... This is just an Idea it's based on theory of probability.... what I thougt is to implement that theory to be an indicator or indicators that predict probability of price movement or something better according to that theory so if you can build this indicator, I think it will be very...

I was wondering if anyone knows, whether its possible, to write a script/EA that will count the number of buy & sell ticks coming into the MT4 platform, and show the results in numbers, or a percentage. I think this would be a very valuable tool, for establishing when to get in & out of a trade....

Hello, got this EA off another site but what the problem is that it won't open another trade when there is already an open trade. Weird. When the previous trade closes then it will start another. Doesn't matter if it's another currency or not. Hence the name Solo How can I fix this? Thanks

Hi All, I'm in the beginning stages of writing my EA. The problem I can't seem to resolve is that this EA (as written) only places 1 buy order and 1 sell order and then the OrderSend seems to shut down even though the tick loop continues (evident by the comment and print functions). As written, so...
