So, some members to receive free help in coding - openning the thread (or few posts in this thread https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/173723 ) with the description of their trading system with images and so on. Once many members are interesting so few coders will come to help (if for free).

Newbie questions regarding opening live account

Hi all,

I'm new to forex, and this forum so I don't know if somebody has allready answered my question.

I've been trading on demo account for about 4 months now, and read numerous articles, but I haven't found

answers to my questions.

I have 2 questions regarding opening an live account:

1) If I open my live account in USD, does that mean that I can only trade with USD as a base currency (USDJPY,

USDCAD...)? What would happen if I enter EURJPY where USD is neither base nor quote currency? Do I pay additional

transaction costs, or anything else. Do I have to pay double spread cost (of EURJPY + USDJPY)?

2) I was reading through babypips.com and found something that I didn't understand, and it kindda scared me because

calculations didn't add up. This is the article: How Leverage Affects Transaction Costs | The Number 1 Cause of Death of Forex Traders | Learn Forex Trading

Do they mean that transaction cost is spread x pip value or is there some other cost I should calculate in?

I also don`t know what commission is? It is in Metatrader`s trade info (terminal) window but it is always zero in demo account.

Is it different in live account?

To sum it all up, I wanna know what are the additional cost of live trading that are not calculated in demo account.

Thnx

Vai kāds varētu palīdzēt?

Piereģistrējos Alpari, atvēru kontu , uzskaitīju naudu, uzstādīju MT4, bet kad mēģinu izveidot orderi, parādās uzraksts, TIRDZNIECIBA AIZLIEGTA apakšā, zem šī, pārbaudiet operācijas parametrus un mēģiniet vēlāk.

Likme man ir 0.1, tā kā griestus nepārsniedzu priekš sava budžeta.

Pending order trigger

Hello!

My ExpertAdvisor creates pending order. How can I detect if that order is opened (or closed). Are there order statuses?

 

I have a question about the Expert Advisor ....

I have seen many videos and advertisement about the Expert advisor.....

Many claim 100-2500% return on investment.............

I have many faq's in my mind regarding how the program would been created....

What will be the positional size.........

How the EA will play after continuous 3-5 loss trades......

What would be the exit stratergy,.,,,

Does all these knowledge is given to the indicator ????

I am not looking for 1000% or more Forex robot for an EA..........

I am just simply looking for a EA which Protect my capital @ 80% and risk only 20% to make 30% for a year.....

30% ROI is something really too much ......

Just want know such EA are there....... ????

Regards,

Gane

If trading and programming for 10 years makes me qualified, my advice is not to listen to any of those claims. A very high percentage of what's out there for sale is complete garbage. Some make outrageous claims without giving any details of condition about those results (they can't because they don't have anything concrete to support that), even if when they supply a back testing chart that shows a pretty equity curve, those data can still be fakes, EA can be curve fitted to that particular period after it's already history. Overall you can't trust them.

It seems only hard work of yourselves can give you the return, even if you do there's no garentee you will make it.
