Hello citizens.

In order not to clutter up the forum really, I decided to write in this thread. Answer Please, on my two computers there was (and now there is only one left, after reinstalling Windows in a hurry) MetaTrader 4 with the same account, had a brainstorm and I lost my password, so where still remains MT4 untouched, I can see, and log in, and work with this account normally, but I see the password only under the asterisks. I saw in MT4 in the dialog box for entering number and password there is a checkbox "Store personal information", can I see this file somewhere and somehow, and will the password be in it?

The password in MT4 is stored in an encrypted form and its location is not made public.

Some of the local bison have pulled it out, but it's a challenge to put it mildly.

When copying/transferring the MT4 folder, the password is lost. Made for security purposes.

Password to any real account can be restored via TP.

From demos it is better to save it or change it for the one which you will not forget, immediately after

>> It's better to save or change it after you open the demo.

 

Hello. I've built a small EA here that just opens a position by time. Basically everything works, but I can't test it on the history. Help me to understand it.

What exactly doesn't work? If the alert is so in the tester it doesn't work, replace it with a print or a comment.

Instead of alerts, put a function like this:

void ComAlert(string text)
{//+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+
 if(IsTesting())Comment( text);else Alert( text);
return;
}//+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+


 

The advisor has not made a single trade in the tester at all. Everything is nil.

>> Does it work live?

 
It works in live mode. It opens the position in the desired direction with the set parameters. It does not open anything in the tester.

What does it say in the log? Be brave or do I have to get every word out of you.

 

2009.10.16 20:33:19 2009.07.31 22:43 Midnight EURJPY,Daily: Alert: Time Out = 22

Third from bottom Alert

 
How do I open a position at a precise time? For example, a position has to be opened at 00.15 local time.
