My MT4 doesn't have any new quotes or data yet, and it's 2300 on Aug. 22. I should've been getting data for the last 6 hours. My older MT version that runs with InterbankFX does have data, though. Is anyone else having this problem? Thanks, John

Hi, since nobody can tell me how can insert a screenshot I have to describe again ... how can it be that I see a GBPJPY price of 198.85 on my chart and the price in the terminal window shows 198.93 ? No need to mention that my S/L at 198.95 was taken out when the price showed 198.87 in the chart

how can i get a ".EX4" FILE to work without the mql4 file accompanying it.

This 'Major Flaw' was documented this morning. The flaw created a 18 fold overstatement of the real trade. The real trade captured 33 pips, the backtester overstated it to 620+ pips. Is this cause for serious concern? I should think so. I have sent this documentation to my brokerage firm...

This coding was to eliminate only pending buy and sell stop orders. It unfortunately is deleting both the pending buy and sell stop orders, but also the orders that are active and in play. How can I change this to only eliminate the pending and not the active buy and sell stops that are in play?...

The initialization after compile will not initialize the line width in the SetIndexStile(); Otherwise, if initialized on open from the "Indicator List" or from "Properties List" (if a vlue is changed) it works a OK. -Stan

It would be helpful if you would display BAR number when mouse over main or indicator window in addition to current info. It is useful in debugging during a development of the EA -Stan

sorry my english is bad Hello, While verifying several software I have to notice that meta included the spread in are historic, but that influences all the indicators and the backtests. Would it be possible that it will be otherwise? and that an option be available to deduct the spread in...

I've noticed that when backtesting EA's using cutom indicators, peformance is very slow. One thing I've have been able to do in a few circumstances is include the indicator logic in the EA and, of course, tailor it for better performance. I like this method as it makes the EA not depend on outside...

Hi, I run the Coloured WoddiesCCI Indicator. Works fine except if I click the "plus" button to enlarge the candles the indiactor goes wild. Is there a way to insert pics directly into a message so I can post a screenshot? Thanks Tom

Thanks to all of you in Meta Quotes!!!! As my mind is sinking into the concept of the MT4 I am totally pleased. I have discovered you about 10 days ago at the point when I was about to start designing what you have done! However, I am concerned that soon someone will regulate the "black box"...
