Are you interested in seeing the trends of BID/ASK prices visually? The order book is a thing of the past. I'm working on new ways to display the bid and ask prices in the means of visual trend patterns.

Introduction Anticipating the unforeseen is a cardinal principle in the realm of automated trading. Despite the meticulous design and rigorous testing of trading algorithms, the reality remains that even the most sophisticated Expert Advisors (EAs)

onwards and upwards! some promising results after updating a custom indicator that the EA uses
insights I gained through extensive backtesting:
- Don't put any EA on a high leverage account, I'll use 30:1 leverage max with an EA as one loss on a high leverage account can be disastrous (imagine 2 or 3 consecutive losses)
- Do not use an SL based on Risk Percentage on a *small* account. SL based on percentage risk is more suited to bigger account sizes, and bigger account sizes only! Think about that. If you had a 1K account and you use 3% risk, then your stop losses on every trade will be extremely narrow with the potential to be hit quite easily. I would rather use 3% of 10000 (300 points SL) instead of 3% of 1000 (30 points SL)

Can any sellers tell me what the experience has been like here as a seller on the MetaQuotes marketplace? Feel free to DM me. I feel a lack of ambition to sell any product due to the fact that there's an overwhelming number of indicators and EAs already all squashed in together. I'm fearing that I might make only one or two sales in a year.

I suggest you try the market. Maybe it works for you. I think of these factors. 1. Original products 2. Good representation of the product in description section.
3. Advertising indirectly in forum or other platforms. I means showing knowledge and expertise of yourself instead of advertising the product directly.
4. Being online and responsive: ensuring customers that you are available to the very modifications/support they may need regarding the product they purchase.

Yes I agree with @Yashar 100% and one more thing is if you are going to sell EAs , make sure you back it up with a Live Signal showing real results to customers , it makes a big difference in your credibility, Goodluck

Added topic Facing difficulty trying to overlay a line plot on top of Color Candles (in the separate window)
I made a simple candlestick chart in the separate window (DRAW_COLOR_CANDLES). I wanted to make a moving average in the same window, but when the buffers have very different values it causes the candlestick chart to scaled down so much that you can't

Added topic The best way to freeze a signal so the signal doesn't repaint
I have a signal indicator that should make an arrow on the LL or HH for any timeframe, but it repaints frantically like a rabid racoon on crack cocaine. One idea to stop something repainting is to take the initial signal it found and force it to

I notice a refresh problem in the indicator when switching timeframe. I'm confused at what might be causing it. The buffers don't update properly when switching timeframe, and when right clicking the chart and clicking "refresh", everything

Do you think it would be possible to sell a code rather than the program on the marketplace, or does this seem silly? Perhaps you could sell the indicator + code

Added topic Is it possible to make alerts occur on only specific timeframes?
I was thinking about this, and wondering if there's actually a limitation in the API. Let's say I'm currently on the 5M timeframe, the indicator should only alert on the H1 timefreame with the Alert() function regardless of what timeframe I'm
