I'm trying to create an EA that will place a pending order X pips above the ask price. For example, on the daily EURUSD chart it checks when the price moves above the bar moves above a moving average and then sends the pending order 20 pips below the MA, i.e.; Ask: 1.42211, Buy would be 1.42231.

I developped an EA that out of 40 months historical data, tested month for month, on one broker (FXDD) shows 50+% profit/month. The mystery is that on another broker's hitorical data (that looks the same) (FXCM in the case) it performs utterly different, even with loss. How can 2 different broker's...

Do banks control modeling quality? Or is it the MT4 finction? I used M5 frame and the EA was pretty successful on the old data (25% quality). But it stops being successful and begins to lose when I test it closer to modern data. Long research, but I found the dates of switch. In February 2009, the

Hi, Im working on an EA (really just leaning how to program in MT4 ) And I had an idea and I want to know if its possible.

Is there a way to have an EA look at the last trade and see whether or not it was profitable? If it was profitable, I'd like it to take one action, and if it lost money because it hit its stop loss, I'd like it to take another action. Any ideas on how to do this? Perhaps one global variable that...

Hello How can someone protect an EA? For example: If I have an EA I want to sell but don't want people to be able to see what it is made from and / or change anything in it. Thanks!

I wrote an EA to place orders from an email signal service and subsequently manage the orders afterwards. However any attempts to partially close orders and take profit at predefined levels have so far been impossible. Iam using the OrdersSuite.mqh file available here which includes all error...
