I'd like to know how I can programme MT3 not to open more than one trade for each pair. Thank You

Hi, I'm really struggling with this Backtester, I'm afraid. I'm looking for perfect results - that's just silly given the lack of true tick data. I'd certainly hope for some consistancy throughout the results though. I'm testing a strategy that simply does this :- Places 2 x Buy Stops and 2 x...

I recently converted some of my MT3 experts to MT4 and allowed it to trade live on demo. I noticed that the execution symbols (entry/exit arrows) are not shown when the trades get executed. At times they are shown but instead of the designated color in OrderSend command, they come up as purple on...

Is it possible to change the color of an indicator based on a condition? for example: if (momentum1>0) { SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_LINE,STYLE_SOLID,1,Lime); } if (momentum1<0) { SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_LINE,STYLE_SOLID,1,Red);...

Since I have zero programming background, I’m looking for somebody who’s kind enough to write me a simple expert advisor. The expert is supposed to just set two pending orders (a buy stop and a sell stop) both at the same time and every day at the same time, and these pending orders shall expire...

Hello all I have a question I don't understand how to do this in ZeroCode can somebody help me..... 1# I want the Parabolic Indicator to close a open trade on the last dot in the trend. I have the settings at step 0.0250 amd the max ar 0.2000 2# BUY the exchange rate when the 5 WMA crosses up past

It is quite nice to see that you have so kindly included 1:1 scale ability for your charts. This is very helpful. However, not being able to print out a chart at 1:1 scale mostly defeats the purpose...does it not? Perhaps you will consider adding some functionality to print charts at 1:1 scale.

There is an error with the backtester. Sometimes my last 'buy' and/or 'sell' order does not show up at the end of the backtest list when all outstanding orders get forced to 'close to stop'. - Vooch

I have made an EA using ZeroCode.exe. It seems it is OK. It is alerting with whataevr Buy messages but never triggered a tarde. Is it supposed to trigger trades or just giving a signal? Please have a look and troubleshoot.

i am having trouble opening and closing orders. I am using this for opening an order int order = 0;.....order = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,0.1,Ask,3,20,0,"",,0,Blue); I cant close an order and keep getting "invalid ticket for OrderClose function" I have been using the following to try and close the...

I just added a simple line MessageBox("Nice Day!","Hello"); seperately in a blank script and a blank indicator. After running the script and indicator, I found a message box popped out in script but nothing happened in indicator. Could anybody tell me the reason? Many thanks!!

Please can someone covert this code from MQLII to MQ4. This indicator is very useful tool for trading. The code is; *[[ Name := Auto Regression channel Author := Copyright © 2004, FostarFX Link := fostar_fx@yahoo.com Separate Window := No First Color := silver First Draw Type :=...

I'm interested in creating an EA for MT3. I have programmed in Fortran, C++ and PASCAL. I just need a reference on setting up the structure of the program, how to write loops and how to define/use variables. Is there a guide/resource out there that you guys know of that I could use? Thanks

Has anyone got the indicator for mq4? =) Cheers

I wrote this expert that I just can’t get to know how to make the pending order to expire at the same day for each day at certain hour if the market didn’t reach the price that I have set. extern double Lots = 0.1; extern double Limits = 35; extern double TakeProfit = 35; extern double StopLoss...

OK, I tried this before but did not get a response and now it seems to have disappeared from the forum. Suggestion to Metaquotes: Will it be possible for you to insert the buttons in the "new order" window that exits in the "modify order" window? I mean those where you select SL and TP, press the...
