I thought I'd try a new broker and wanted to check out spreads using the code below. Running the EA showed figures (screenshot below) which don't seem realistic and they don't change (as on another broker where the spreads are always changing) The broker doesn't appear to even understand the problem

I know this is "convention", but all conventions need to be questioned, otherwise mankind would never have left the trees. MetaTrader not only does not record ticks in it's history, but it only has the OHLC of the bid prices. However, long trades are opened on the ask and closed on the bid , and

I can’t find the problem of this indicator. I set it to show two separate charts (High and Low price) simultaneously,but it just shows one chart (High or Low). It seems that the problem is aboutthe buffer adjustment. However, I couldn’t find the problem  even by printing the values. Please help...

Hi,  I need a simple function.   I know stop loss and fixed amount of money (let's say in USD).  I'd like to know, where SL should be placed.   Please, don't post some topics, libraries, big parts of code, that doesn't solve the exact problem... Just something like double LotsizeFromMoney(StopLoss...

Hello everybody. I'm new to MetaQuotes 4 and the Metatrader 4 platform (I have a good expereince in C programming though ). I realized a basic demo program just to have some idea about the subject . Now I want to update the source code and create a new version, without losing the old one. I

I have an EA that sometimes needs to close a trade and open another one on current bar. But what I see happening is a multiple of trades happening on the bar with I guess each tick and drawing down the account. Is it possible to have an EA close and open a trade only once on the same bar in MT4?...

I noticed that when using indicators for back testing (e.g. cci overbought/sold) that results are completely different between brokers. What may seem like a good setup on one, is not on another. E.g. One broker shows the cci overbought but the other is not yet overbought. Is this normal? Why are the...

I  use an indicator plotting round levels on my charts. But when I plot a normal horizontal line and I want to move or delete it it often happens that I select the round number line instead of the horizontal line I wanted to select. So I would like to avoid that any round number line can be selected...

I am running with broker ForexBrokerInc and a few weeks ago I sent a message to support that using the backtester,  the number of trades between Visual mode and non-visual mode were different, giving vastly different outcomes.  Now, the non-visual mode does not make any trades.  The chart has to be...

I've noticed that MT4 backtesting uses the entry price to convert profits into the base currency. Why so? EUR/USD - Base currency: EUR  Buy Entry: 1.4100 | 1000€ = 1410$ Ipotetical Exit: 1.4200 => 1410$ /1.4200 = 992,957 => 1000€ - 992,957 = 7,04€ profit Ipotetical Exit: 1.4000  => 1410$/1.4000 =...

I made a source for statistical calculations. It calculates well if I input 0-200 numbers, but If I input large numbers, it makes errors. I know that's because the source needs more digits than double. I want to use long-double value in MQL4. Is there any methods for use it?

Everyone knows that nothing in the world is perfect, but in solving a problem we strive for the ideal. But to get closer to it, we should describe it at least verbally and formalize it in the form of goals and ways to achieve them, otherwise we end up going there - without knowing where, looking for
