1000 Moving Averages

 

Why did you post your MT4 question in the MT5 General section (a miscellaneous catch-all category) instead of the MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page)?

Next time, post in the correct place. I have moved this thread.

The strategy I have adopted involves simple moving averages of 1000, 700 & 200. Problem is the 1000 & 700 do not work on every time frame. I am using MT4.  Am I doing something wrong? Please advise.

They work on all time frames. You have not downloaded enough history. Did you right click → refresh to get 2K bars?

On MT4: if you don't have any history, here's how you can get all available from your broker.

  1. Most brokers only have 32 or 65K bars of history per timeframe. That's 45 days of M1, 2.5 years on M15, etc.

  2. Quickly DL all available history from your broker: Problem loading historical data - MQL4 programming forum (2010)

  3. Is there any way to load programmatically entire history (of a Symbol and a Period) from server? - MQL4 programming forum #8 (2020) MT5 - Multi-Currency Indicator in Tester - Technical Indicators - MQL5 programming forum #3 (2018)
