Good evening. I studied the link https://docs.mql4.com/ru/common/MarketInfo spread, point size, but there is no quote accuracy. Please advise which function + parameter for Expert Advisor to determine the accuracy of the instrument which is under the spread in the properties of the instrument.

Good afternoon!

There is a problem:

The brokerage company has a limitation on "minimum order lifetime" (mine is 2 minutes for example).

Consequently, if an order is closed before that time, my brokerage company may have some questions.

So my question is: What operator (function) outputs this value?

I would like to know how to solve this problem automatically.

Thank you in advance.

"...automatic solution to the problem" - "Change broker immediately"! But this feature (if not available) fits all platforms - universal!
 
Got it, thanks.
 

Hello, I have read the article: https://www.mql5.com/ru/articles/101 and additionally many threads on a similar topic. I wanted to ask if there are any unified rules for defining candlestick patterns in Japanese candlesticks? Or does everyone define them differently?

What is the purpose of the question? Personal opinion: whatever norms, rules, public opinion may exist on any issue for the code algorithm (code users), the subjective opinion of the author(s) of this code is of priority, irrespective of "correctness".
 

Testing strategies. MT4. MQL4

Hello.

I am interested in this question. How can I use it to buy and test an EA and indicators on a large timescale?

I have different results on MT4 from Masterforex.org and Forex.com for the same time intervals and with the same settings. I have doubts about the correctness of the work if I run it on different terminals. Although, according to observations MasterForex.org lags the price of Forex.com by one tick. I don't think it causes such divergence in results: it makes money on one and loses money on the other. Very different ticks within a day and the same EAs open differently.

Experienced masters, please advise what to do in this situation?

What does the Archive menu item mean? Where are the quotes loaded? Maybe it is possible to use them in some way. My tester has started to download data for April at most. Before that I was testing for January.

Is there a debugger for MQL4 scripts, to visually monitor the operation (variables, messages).

What indicators work on M5?

I tried MACD standard. According to the tests with some values it works fine.

Please, advise on the links to the Expert Advisors and indicators that may be useful for development of your own trading system. Does it make sense to focus on M5? What percentage of profit? What is the drawdown? Who has the best result of the year?
