MQL4 and MetaTrader 4 - page 1547

The more I analyse the market, the more I realise that it is all akin to roulette - black or white. My goal, like many others here, was to simulate a signal or a strategy for forming a 100% signal. This is not the right move. There is something we are doing wrong. It feels like we are wandering

I have noticed that each time the user changes time frames say from H1 to H4 it activates the deinit() function, like the indicator had been removed and reloaded. Is there a way to tell if the user has actually removed the indicator and not just changed time frames, so that objects can be remove?...

I understand that to test different strategies and EA, one has to install different instances of MT4 with different folder names. Is there a way to install one instance of MT4 and have it run different EA on different accounts. If not, will this be possible in future releases or are there other...

I was going to try this, but the PAR indicator uses high, low and close to make it's calculations where the RSI only provides a single value for each bar. Do you think it would still work if I substituted the RSIBuffer in place of where the PAR indicator is looking for high, low and close? Or...

EA, coded for me, detects reversal when 3DOscilator absolute values 1 and 2 go from > to < (short), and from < to > (long). (I hope I said that correctly) Indicator Window 1, in this case, shows "obvious" reversal signal but EA does not act on it. Data Window values also agree with the Indicator...

When my EA is running, it turns on and off several times and the is disabled. After I click the EA button to enable it it stops flicking.

Using MetaTrader, I get the following mini account information from my broker: accountLeverage = AccountLeverage(); // value = 200 modeLotSize = MarketInfo("EURUSDm", MODE_LOTSIZE); // value = 10000 modeLotSize2 = MarketInfo("GBPJPYm", MODE_LOTSIZE); // value = 10000 modeLotStep =...

My mini account displays symbol designations such as EURUSDm, GBPUSDm, etc. That makes sense to me. Let's say my account has equity of $10,000, and I want to risk 2% on the next trade (that is, simply use $200 to buy <some amount> of contracts). [I realize this is a simple view of "risk".] Using...
