Hi all, I'd like to get feedbacks from advanced traders/EA developers regarding the max number of inputs steps (total number displayed in the bottom right part of the Inputs sheet when optimizing) allowing to have robust setfiles, i.e. without

Hi, Could Metaquotes add the holding times statistics to the strategy tester xml files (and possibly all other relevant missing information)? There is a mismatch between the report and what can be exported. Thanks in advance

Hi all, When testing/visualizing the outcomes of a EA, I observe irrelevant arrows/deals being displayed on the chart. - I'm pretty sure they are not related to relevant deals, as OnTradeTransaction doesn't display any message (even basic) in the

Hi! In the following EA code, I'm computing EMAs (fast and slow) at each new M5 bar. Though, as per the journal below it seems the [1] values computed at the current M5 bar can differ from the [0] values computed at the previous M5 bar. This is an

Hi all, I'm struggling in exploiting the contents of the Strategy Tester 's journal, the interface is really not user friendly. How to "copy all" the journal, how to export it, or how to do it with mql5 code

Hi all, I would like to access the source code (mq5) of the indicator iBands (to see its details including the structure of the generated handle) or the source code of any other built-in indicator (to use them properly in a EA). How could I do it

Hi, after login (but without subscription), I can't see the SL/TP used by the trader for his/her historical trades (whereas a friend of mine can). Hence the question: how is it possible to systematically display columns SL and TP? It is necessary to
