Testing the same EA for exactly the same period for historical data for the same symbol from the Alpari download website vs historical data obtained via History Center (F2) from the terminal, I am getting quite different results. I understand there

Using command line to start terminal: "terminal start.ini" where start.ini contains the following parameters: TestExpert=EAname TestExpertParameters=input.set TestSymbol=EURUSD and others... This does not pick up the EAname, but picks up the EURUSD

Trend is currently strong is one direction, but a retracement may happen soon. What do you use to give a warning that retracement is coming soon

After copying an ex4 file to the experts folder, is there any way of "refreshing" or similar to get the file to appear under Navigator / Expert Advisors without having to restart the terminal

Can one EA work with multiple currency pairs , using different input variables for different pairs? Or you need a different EA for each pair, with not just variables but the strategy optimized just for that pair? The answer is - it depends, of

If so, for what sort of things

FileWrite (handle, OrderPrint()) will direct the output from OrderPrint to the screen first and then FileWrite the number 1 to a file. How can I get the OrderPrint() output to a file? I'm aware there are other longer ways of achieving the same thing

For the build 221 update, what happens after you get the pop-up window asking "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?" Click "yes" and nothing happens. Is there something else that needs to be

Instead of sitting there and pressing the Page Up key on a chart to download history . PS: Note that I am talking about getting history from a particular broker, and not from History Center or Alpari

Can't see anything relevant when doing a search, but in case anyone knows the answer to this question: Any quick way of zooming in on the " zero divide " line of code, apart from putting a whole bunch of Print statements

Re-starting the same EA test with the same symbol, same date range (historical), same timeframe, same parameters produces different results. I've eliminated things which could change, like MarketInfo values and everything else that is left should be

If you have something like the following in the code, where/how does it derive the value during Testing ? double TickVal= MarketInfo (Symbol(),MODE_TICKVALUE);

I have an indicator that hardcodes the timeframe: adx[i]= iADX (NULL, PERIOD_M30 ,..... But I stay on the M15 chart and make changes to the indicator and when I compile, I see the reported timeframe in the log file changing between M15 and M30

If I do this in an indicator, the array gets populated with correct values: double buffer1[]; buffer11[i]=somecomputedvalue(); If I do this, the array gets populated with garbage values: int buffer1[]; buffer1[i]=somecomputedvalue(); It doesn't seem

I'm pretty sure it used to pick up compiled changes automatically and all I need to do is Settings/Start to rerun the test. But it doesn't seem to work anymore. Was I imagining things previously

Given the following code: double a ; double b ; a =fn1(); b =fn2(); if ( a > b ) Print ( a , " , " , b ) ; Result: 1.2345, 1.2345 What am I missing

Is there an editor feature to do this

So far I can attach an EA to a chart, tick allow live trading, and can see the smiley face in the top-right corner. After that, nothing. What is supposed to happen next? What can I check to see what is happening or not happening? Should there be a
