Hi, I have recently started learning MQL5 language and all the tutorials are only focused on Forex market. I have been trading Futures contracts(manually) with <Deleted>. So, my question is If i keep learning Mql5 language, will I be able to develop EA for Futures market(with <Deleted>)? Thank you in advance.
Hi Rass. Were you able to do this successfully? I code for index CFDs and Forex and am trying to move into Futures. I'm not sure how to backtest with limited history on the contracts. Any help or advice is appreciated.
For back-testing you can use the continuous contract, starting with @.
I don't think there's a easy way to roll over contracts. Each future contract is it's own thing.
I do trade futures on the brazilian market and I have to manually close contracts before they expire and open it again with the new date.
If they expired they lose all their value.
I think there might be a way to roll over, but you would need to contact the broker and asked them to do it. It's also not free. At least that's how it works here in Brazil.
