Hello. Can you please tell me why I tested my EA with good results, but other people who downloaded the demo version of my EA from the market have poor results? What is the reason? What may be affecting the test result?

If you are sure that the sets are the same, it may be the spread if the account is in another brokerage company or even the account type if it is in the same brokerage company.

How do I know the symbol restrictions in MT4 (full access, close only, etc.)? Of course programmatically, I don't know how to do it with my eyes either.

Good afternoon,

Please explain what is meant by:

Signal_ThresholdOpen

Signal_ThresholdClose

How do they work, what does changing the value do?

Well, Threshold actually translates as "threshold". Therefore, let's take it from there. Most likely, it is a threshold for triggering an open signal and a threshold for triggering a close signal. I can't tell you anything else from the information in your question.

Here are two searchable articles on signals and mql5 wizard: https://www.mql5.com/ru/search#!keyword=Signal_ThresholdOpen&module=mql5_module_articles&author=MetaQuotes&method=2

Looked at the links, there seems to be only actual application. And they put both 60 and 50... I looked for other articles... But I didn't find anything that says what happens if I set 40 or 10 or 100...

I'm parsing an elementary MA Expert Advisor line by line from one article.

These are all input parameters; changing values affects something.

I found in the manual:

The ThresholdOpen parameter can accept values from 0 to 100. It is used to detect whether it is necessary to open a position according to "voting" results.

The "ThresholdClose" parameter can take values from 0 to 100. Used for determining whether the position should be closed following the results of "voting".

What is this "voting"? What do these two parameters affect?

Select Signal_ThresholdOpen in the code and press Crrl+F to find all occurrences of this variable in the code and examine all calculations this variable takes part in. Similarly, search for ThresholdClose.

See if you can figure it out ;)
