I am trying to modify an existing MQL program to include a buy and sell conditon based upon the RSI levels > 25 and < 75. When I try to set it up under the Calculate indicators' value in the program the rsi indicator setup asks for 2 time periods: rsi1_0 = iRSIEx(5,10,0,PRICE_CLOSE,0). The RSI(5) is...

In ColdFusion and PHP (other computer languages), I'm able to evaluate a string, but in MT4, it seems I cannot. Here's an example in MT4 of what I want to do: string longsql; longsql = " (a<1) && (b>2) "; if (longsql) { // buy it! } I'm getting these error messages: 'longsql' - compare...

I started fooling around with this code tonight in an effort to reduce mutliple orders going through at the same time when backtesting and to fix the problem where it keeps ordering stuff at an old price and selling at a newer price. This seems to do a good job slowing down the order flow and is...

Is there a way to create a trend line that doesnt extend past the second time/price parameter? Thanks EK

Is it correct that the backtesting will not show results of losing strategies? If this is so, is there a way I can see the results of all the runs, whether winning or losing? In the expert properties there is an Optimisation tab but ffrankly, i just dont understand it. thanks hugues

I'm currently working on an expert advisor, and I'm having some problems trying to figure out how to break the following down into programming concepts. I want the expert advisor to be able to notice when the market is moving sideways, and not trade during that. It uses two moving averages, RSI

This is in regard to MetaTrader 3.83 build 6231 (Aug 23 2004) I think this is caused by a connection problem with the ISP, but I've been around the block with this with InterbankFx and my DSL provider SBC. Baisically I am getting the "ping failed" error in the journal of the terminal window. What...

As per the subject, this new v177 doesn't compile MQ4 on start-up. I wish you guys could incorporate some changelog as I've been bleating about on a number of threads. You pop up a LiveUpdate and no-one knows what we're getting ourselves in for. I think most people would prefer to see the standard...

Thanks for the changes in 177 backtesting... it now does seem to work much better than 176!! I still have a bit of a mystery: my gridmaker handles both long and short grids at the same time. In forward testing, this works as expected. In backtesting, it does not. For example, If i run 'longs only'...

I needed a quick way to copy the rectangle shape from one position to another. To do this, I select the rectangle, and use the Ctrl key to drag a new instance of the rectangle to another location. (Standard Windows procedure). However, I have noted frequently that this abruptly closes the...

I've been using the backtester to look at some of the results from grid systems, mostly based on hdb's GridMaker, however unless my vision is completely cockeyed, it seems that the backtest report has _no_ mention of open trades. At least before in the initial version you could see the almighty...

Hello, For some funny reason, I am getting this message for GBP/CHF and GBP/JPY only : the other 10 pairs are working fine with identical parameters. I am running my gridmaker expert. 2005.07.13 11:17:28 '83602': order buy stop 0.10 GBPJPY opening at 196.7400 sl: 0.0000 tp: 196.8000 failed...

Has anybody done anything to build a Gann swing indicator? This is the traditional 3-day indicator. I am very interested in building this indicator, but need help with setting up the code to check each bar with the bar arrays working in reverse. Thanks Des

This is my code for a trailing stop that should loop through all open orders, find the matching symbol and modify it. It works fine but once the order is modified it continues to try and modify the same order over and over. This is message in journal: 2005.07.05 07:00:00 '104539': modify order

Sometimes I'll run a backtest on a 4-hour chart and the script will do nothing for several days/weeks, then all of the sudden, it'll order a ton of stuff on 1 day. The problem is that it keeps ordering stuff at an old price and selling at a newer price. Start at order #57 on this report and look...

Hello, First, thanks fot the V4 release, there are really some super improvements -well done to the team! As the backtesting came into operation, I could not help myself from looking at this in detail. My first run seemed super and I then did an optimisation which worked very well - on 6 weeks of...

Hi Metaquotes, I was wondering if there are any limits as to the number of orders each account can have open at any one time? I'm wanting to run an expert that may have thousands of small orders open at once - would this be a problem?
