Please, don't request help for ChatGPT (or other A.I.) generated code. It generates horrible code, mixing MQL4 and MQL5. Please use the Freelance section for such requests.

• Usually people who can't code don't receive free help on this forum.
• If you show your attempts and describe your problem clearly, you will most probably receive an answer from the community. Use the CODE button (Alt-S) when inserting code.
• To learn MQL programming, you can research the many available Articles on the subject, or examples in the Codebase, as well as reference the online Documentation.
  
• If you do not want to learn to code, that is not a problem. You can either look at the Codebase if something free already exists, or in the Market for paid products (also sometimes free). However, recommendations or suggestions for Market products are not allowed on the forum, so you will have to do your own research.
  
• Finally, you also have the option to hire a programmer in the Freelance section.

Hey guys,

I'm looking to understand what are the ideal components of a computer that will help large Strategy Optimizations (100,000+ combinations across multiple years of M1 data) to complete quicker. I am asking so that I can then take your recommendations, and create an AWS EC2 Instance (custom virtual computer) with the desired specs (x amount of vCPUs, x amount of memory, etc) to help streamline getting optimization results back quicker.

I will share the results of my EC2 costs & time to completion afterwards if it will help the community.

Thank you in advance for your thoughtful responses.

PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE THIS PROBLEM IN MY MT5 EA 

i am trying to create an EA that utilizes 2 Bollinger Bands (one with 1 std and and another with 1.5 std)

and i enter a position with a close below the bb(1 std) and markets price with a sl at the larger bb and a tp at the middle line , i wanna automatically modify the oder such that it moves the sl and tp to the latest value of the bolllinger band and the middle line i.e. the current candle has an index of 0 and the previous candle has an index of 1, so the bb values at index 1 . i want this to happen until either sl/tp is hit. can someone please guide me into the right direction??? i am an amateur and just getting started with this EA stuff. i am aware i can get the position ticket and use that to modify sl/tp but i have a hard time extracting the 2 values from the bb , the initial tp/sl and the modified sl/tp with every candle. i can get the values from ibands function and use the copy buffer function to extract the values , but i am only successful doing so for the initial sl/tp how do i extract the values for the rolling sl/tp , please help me out , thank you for the help,appreciate it.

Colleagues, please advise me how in the MT5 strategy tester during fast (genetic) optimisation not to take into account those passes that ended with forced closing of open positions. That is, when the pass came to the end and positions have not yet had time to come to profit. Thank you in advance!

Add an input to the Expert Advisor, where the time is specified one hour before the end of the testing interval.

In the Expert Advisor, as soon as the time has passed this input and there are open positions, either raise the flag for zeroing OnTester, or zero the balance at the expense of the spread.

Thank you! I will try it.
