Hi I am backtesting my EA in 15min timeframe and I get different results just because I backtest once in visual mode and once in non visual modes? Everything(!) stays the same only the “Visual mode” of the Strategy Tester is either enabled or

Hi, I run my EA on my home pc and login to my account by my Investor-Password: so no trades were possible! Is it correct that isTradeAllowed() still returns true (instead of false), and only if I set one of the two options "Allow live trading" to

Hi, strange Thing? My EA is working (always and only with M1) with one Broker and EURUSD but with another Broker (I changed at the right bottom) and the EURUDi I got TestGenerator: internal error because the file not opened But with that BrokerGBPUSD

Hi, I want to place arrows and want to write the exact price where they are placed at the description-field of the objects. How can I do this? The only thing I found is to place text-objects and they have without any further interaction a description

Hi, does anybody knows ho many pixel in x-direction (size_x) does have one candle of the chart with chart_scale 5 (and 4,3,2..)? Is there a way to calculate the size_y out of the High[iHighest(..)] and Low[iLowest(..)] ? Thanks in advance, Gooly PS

Hi, Do the Limitaions of the Backtest Expert-Setup window (it has three tabs: Testing, Inputs and Optimization) really work (and how)? I tried to use e.g. "Maximal drawdown". :( So I first enabled "Maximal drawdown" and then tried

I have seen and read a lot of commets about the spread (durig weekends, bougus server, ..) of MT4. But what I have not found is an answer to to that question: If I start a backtest - e.g. ~10'000 tries: is the spread taken once at the beginning this

Hi, I am sorry for this rather ridiculous piece of code - but it drives me crazy. To save mainly backtest time I want to execute a function only once with in a bar not every tick so I wrote: // PERs[] = {PERIOD_M1, PERIOD_M5, PERIOD_M15, ... //

Hi, I (MT4 (from Boston Cons.) build 402) have written an EA that actually trades quite ok. Now I wanted to rewrite everything but the compiling fails with Errors that I don't understand! First Error message that shows up several times: ')' wrong

Hi, I want to use " kernel32 .dll" to read and write files. (from http://www.m-t-a-w.com/indicatorsandea/File%20Read%20Write.mq4) from other than the MT4-default-folders. So far so good. But now I want to define the path to the files to be

Hi, does anybody know, how I can change the dafeult setting of chart that are started by the tester (isVisualMode()). I would likt to start the new chart without the grid (uncheck "show grid") and with some other colors more darken one like

Hi, when I started to download historical Data MT4 informed me that I'm going to download data from Metaquotes, while my account is with Active Trades. ok, but from my broker I know the time-off of his data, but what is the time offset of the quotes

Hi, I finally managed to run a variation of the support and resistance Indicator, where I place a price-label at the bar with either a high or a low forming a resinstance or a support: ...        //---- Upper Fractal

Hi today all of a sudden this happens on my notebook with Win 7 beta: terminal.exe is runnuing my indicator, but after I closed I closed both and restarted terminal I clicked on the editor icon to start it, it coems up and consumes 100% of its core

Hi, today I started MT4 (223) the first time on my new notebook with Windows 7 beta 64 Bit. At first MT4 shows me the (custom) indicators and experts from the folder: C:\Users\cas\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\MetaTrader
