I was mucking around with one of the EA's when thought to myself what if I had a crystal ball way back in July 2002 how much could I have made buy starting with a $500,000 account till July 2008.

I am investigating if it is possible to write mql code to emulate spread changes in the MT4 Strategy Tester. I assume that Brokers do not manually change spread values and the spread is automatically calculated on the server as trading parameters change. How do Brokers calculate currency pair market...

When I print out the values for Low[0], Open[0], Close[0], High[0] they contain the same number. It is the open price. If I print out the values for Low[1], Open[1], Close[1], High[1] they are different and correct. Why is that? Has anyone else noticed this?

It would be great to have/improve on an order handling module (buy, sell, modify, etc) If you can post yours here, it will help those who are creating experts. And as we create them, we can improve the code and post it here.

How can you code an EA to turn itself off say after it has exited all trades? Thanks C

I wrote this expert advisor for a 1H chart the only problem I have is once the veriable, if(iStochastic(Symbol(),Period(),21,3,3, 0,1,0,0)>=uplimit21) if(iStochastic(Symbol(),Period(),9,3,3, 0,1,0,0)<=downlimit9) is hit and an order is opened and closed if the veriable is still there when the...

Let's say you have finally, after x years, found a winning combination of indicators that works on all timeframes and financial instruments (fx, futures, commodities, indices,...). You have done backtests on multiple timeframes and they all have an all-round off-the-chart performance (let's say 98%...

Is it possible to attach an EA to an 1H chart and then use earlier time periods (30M, 15M, 5M) to confirm the formation of buy/sell signals? If so how could this be done?

Looking forward to reading a bit.

Quick question. For simplicity I've avoided normalizing or converting to strings the Ask and Bid variables on the following grounds. All I'm doing is moving Ask or Bid into another double variable, then later doing a compare of Ask or Bid against that variable. No arithmetic operations are done on

Hi, If you still have some time.... I would really appreciate if you could convert this one... I have been trading the attached Ichimoku system very successfully at CMS/VT Trader, I have used it more as an indicator and entered trades manually. I would like to swich to MT4 and have this baby...
