Hi, I'll look at this ... what is the error message ?

I am not getting any error messages. Actually, I am not getting anything. Just the appearing and disappearing. Please let me know what need to do to run the complete project successfully.

 

Does not start

Imported DLL "shell32.dll" not allowed in Cloud Network


 

I think it's all a matter of probability. The probability is that the parameters that are fitted later will be better adapted to the future.

 
Thank you for share. Excellent work!
 

you said " this EA must be present in the second environment". Could you please elaborate on that? I understand making a copy and moving it to the experts folder, but if you ever make changes to the ea you would need to re copy and move the file again. And I am not sure if it would let you copy it via the shell function during runtime considering the program is running.

 

It does not work! 

Could you let me know what should I input below? 


input string sOptimiser="";                         // --------------- Optimiser Settings


input string sTerminalTesterPath="C:\\Program Files\\ForexTime MT5";
input string sTerminalTesterDataPath="C:\\Users\\BPA\\AppData\\Roaming\\MetaQuotes\\Terminal\\5405B7A2ED87FFEE2A792204731FD350";


input string sBuddyIlan="";                         // --------------- Buddy Ilan Settings


Is the "sTerminalTesterPath" and  "sTerminalTesterDataPath" for the second EA? 

and the how about the "sOptimiser" and "sBuddyIlan"?  

Thanks a lot!!

 

hi guys, im new, this article and work is excellent, its something all algo traders need. i more infomation on how to put this together, 

1# shell32.dll, this a dll file i must create right, so is it empty with no coding in it or what should i put in it?

2#the attached file at the bottom of the article has 2 folders, expert and includes, do i just compile everything in their respective locations on MetaEditor, adjust locations of terminals and let it rip or what?

3#the attached expert, is it Buddyilan or the EAoptimiser or both because in the 1st instance there's supposed to be buddyilan AND EAoptimiser with the 2nd instance only having the EAoptimiser. shell32 is a dll that needs to sit a folder somewhere, not even sure where, are my assumptions right?


please help, i need this

Can someone explain to me why this can't be done using the MetaTrader5 module for Python?

Because Python code runs externally to MetaTrader 5 via an API. It does not run as a compiled MQL5 executable.
