Hi All, Can anyone recommend a good EA to play with? Im pretty new to trading so not something to complex please :)

Hi, Can someone please explain the following probelem: Bars, is say 1234, but, High[1234] is always = 0.00000. Not sure why? High[1233], is say 1.2345. But High[1234], is 0.00000. Is the last bar unreadable? Am I missing something? When you auto-scroll backwards in time to the last bar shown on the...

I figured I would make as simple an EA as possible, after making hundreds of unprofitable EAs over the past year. The Buy and Sell Conditions are simple as can be: if(LastCandleUp == True && ThisCandleUp == True && LastCandleDown == False && ThisCandleDown == False) Order = SIGNAL_BUY;

Hi, can anyone show me the code how to limit the total of transactions per day? I see most of the EA only limits open position per execution. Let say I need to limit the transaction only 2 transaction per day, because if more than two, the risk of trade will increase. thanks for helping. ariston

Hello, I'm backtesting an EA that relies on a home made indicator. The indicator does some tests on multiple timeframes, from M1 to H1 and draw a red bar if SELL advise, and green bar if BUY advise. in the EA I do basicaly: if indicator == -1 => buy if indicator == 1 => sell else => do nothing...

Hello folks! Today's question is: is it possible to split an open position in two different ones? You may say: "dude... why do u need such thing?!?!??" ...and here it comes why.... Suppose you have an open position, say 1.00 lot. Suppose you want to close it when it reaches a certain price. The...

Hi I am experiencing some difficulties with a home-made EA Are there any known occurences that would cause a requote from the platform directly or from the EA setup on mt4 I receive requote message though the brokers logs show no requotes, only a single request reaching them which the price had...

Anyone read anything about this: http://www.nfa.futures.org/news/newsNotice.asp?ArticleID=2273 ? Am I right in thinking that US-based brokers are now going to be required to treat a long order for e.g. 1 lot followed by a short order for 1 lot as a close? In other words, you could do two...

I am considering writing an EA that uses multiple entry criterion. The exit criterion will be different for each entry criterion. Is there a way to identify an open position so that the entry method can be known and used to determine the correct exit criterion?

I am NW, loking for someone who knows there way around this platform.. I learn by video or doing, not too good on reading it.. Thanks Steve

I WONDER IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO CODE FOR A TRAILING STOP THAT CAN MOVE IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION UNTIL A CERTAIN CONDITION BECOMES FULFILED

I am trying to set an Alert to notify me at a particular time. What is the proper syntax for the Time value? For example, if I want to set an alert for 2:00p.m. should I enter 16:00? When I do so, the time comes and goes with no alert. Can anyone set me straight?

I understand we can launch a script directly on the security window but how can we do it automatically from EA ? Or, should I set it at the same time as the EA on the screen but in this case how can I have it coming back periodically ? (once a month) and I suppose that will not show in back testing...

Let's say you want to know how responsive your oscillator is to cyclic market movement, wouldn't it be great if some standard data set existed that consists of two parts: first a cyclic part (e.g. a sine wave) with a constant dominant cycle length (e.g. 200 bars) and second a trending part. Could...
