It makes sense) Thanks... I was just curious to know the average of EAs that actually trade, or at least how much is the expected payoff and how much is the drawdown... I understand that these things are often subjective, but still)

For me, for example, the maximum drawdown on the account is acceptable up to 5%, although the threshold is 10%.

In transactions I limit losses to 2%, rarely 3%, when the transaction promises an increased chance of a profit.

What do you mean by expected payoff?

Usually we speak about expected payoff in pips when testing an Expert Advisor with a fixed lot.

Good afternoon, I'm learning MT4 and have some questions. Can you please tell me what might be the problem: I'm trying to add a custom indicator (I mean attach it to a chart from navigator), but it is not displayed on the chart, allow to import it, what else should I do?

There are too many answers to this question, so it's better to put out the code to make the problem clearer.

(There is a special SRC button for posting code).

That's it, I figured it out... My security software was not letting the terminal action through

Hello, I have a question about the mql4 language: I'm writing an EA, I call the indicator TSR Direction line through iCustom, I choose the number of the indicator line 0, or 1, or 2, but it doesn't matter, I further write comment in the code and output the values to see them with my eyes, I start the tester and the value is somehow always equal to 0. I used this function with other indicators, but nothing like this happened! Help! I have attached the indicator:

Look at this option. 0 is always there, 1 and 2 are trending

I figured out the problem, I wrote iCustom(NULL,0,"(T_S_R)-Slope Direction Line.mq4",180,0,3,0,1);

I should have written it without .mq4: iCustom(NULL,0,"(T_S_R)-Slope Direction Line",180,0,3,0,1);

I figured out the problem here, I had to write iCustom(NULL,0,"(T_S_R)-Slope Direction Line.mq4",180,0,3,0,1);

I should have written iCustom(NULL,0,"(T_S_R)-Slope Direction Line",180,0,3,0,1) without .mq4;

But take a look. Compare speed.
