New chart disables EA?
Hello agian,
(This is such a great board, I'll have something to share soon!)
I'm playing around with CodersGuru's "Your First Expert Advisor" example from his MQL4 Course...
I've noticed something that I hope has a solution... After loading the EA on the 30M chart... it Opened a (Short) Order.. I had modified his code to test my Exit strategy (a simple cross on a lower time period)...
The cross came and went (and the printed status, and my code was correct) HOWEVER, I was on the 15M chart at the time... does this mean I de-activated the EA (so my code/logic didn't run)?
If so, is there anyway around this... I'd like to click back and forth to other timeframes... without disabling the EA that is running.
Thanks in advance for the replies.

System effectiveness proportional to its user growth?
Do you guys believe that a system would gain or lose its effectiveness along with an increasing number of people who apply it?
It seems that many successful traders do not usually share their trading strategies, so there must be a reason for them doing so. Anyone want to crack at this?

I heard about this idea that many successful traders do not usually share their trading strategies or share some wrong strategies especially. May be. I do not know. Because the forex is money. I think it is nothing with this effectiveness. It is because not so many successful traders and it is something with brokers.
BTW, I think it is personal. One trader can use some trading strategy and I can not because of my character, habits, timezone etc. So it is personal. Anyway we may discover all the strategies as we are doing already here in the forum.
thank you for the feedback. I'll keep that in mind.
Follow the trend
Hi,
I've got a simple yet stable system that work for me. I make use of a 34 EMA on close. RSI 7 close. CCI 20 close. Place the EMA on a chart and look at the trend. Start at the 30M and move all the way up to H4 even D1. The trend of the EMA must be the same for all the timeframes. If the trend is right you can enter a trade if RSI is above/below 50 on D1 timeframe and CCI is above/below 100. Stay on the H4 chart when the trade begins, it keep you from seeing the noise in the market and let you close before the time. Put a stoploss in at 80 pips. You can also use the Fib to see if the market has a retracement or not. I like to use a Equidistant channel (A metatrader standard tool) to find the market trend. I keep to that trend until I make my profits. This method is not fool proof but one thing is for sure and it make more sence to me every day and that is I'm not trading against a major trend.
Please experiment with this method on demo and lets build a longer term system that work form the more serious trader.

Default value when Array is Declared
Hello everyone,
What value is placed as the default value in this Array:
double ARRAYA[];
double ARRAYB[];
I want to clear the entire content of these Arrays by doing:
ArrayInitialize(ARRAYA,NULL);
ArrayInitialize(ARRAYB,NULL);
However, setting to NULL causes the Array to be filled with 0 (zero).
Any suggestions?

Indicator #include in EA?
Hello everyone,
Is there a way to #include a compiled Indicator so that it loads when the EA loads? (Making the EA freestanding as 1 .EX4 file?)
Thanks for the help!
