As I grow better in trading (and I do, no kidding ), I realize that "TA signal based" systems are not so far away from roulette and that systems based on the actual nature of price, like volatility,...

The general fix for EAs migrating from 4 to 5 is to multiply any quantity that's expressed in pips by 10. While this works, isn't that the objective of the Point function, to remove the exact decimal translation from the programmer's responsibility? If so, why doesn't it operate correctly? In...

Some real nifty ideas: I have some ideas that you might consider adding to the platform down the road, after 4.0 is ready. I do really like the new features you’ve added to 4.0 that 3.83 did not have. Nice work. TERRIFIC IDEA FOR VERSION 4.1. (I realize it’s a little late in the design...
