MetaQuotes sponsors the sMart-lab.ru Exchange Conference for traders and investors
MetaQuotes Software Corp., 2017.10.04 12:23
On September 30, the Smart-lab.ru portal hosted the 24th conference of investors held with the support of Moscow Exchange (MOEX). The developer of the MetaTrader 5 multiasset platform MetaQuotes Software Corp. sponsored the event.
The main mission of the conference was to educate and inform participants about the Russian Financial Community. This year, the event was attended by more than 300 stock market professionals. Exchange investors and traders shared their experience with the event attendees.
The key topics of the conference were the fundamentals of algorithmic Russian stock trading, actual trends in the financial market, investment timing, robo-advisors and the global oil industry. Particular attention was given to the market of crypto-currencies and the appropriate market regulation questions. The following speakers presented further on the topic in a crypto-currency related session of the conference:

MQL5 Cookbook: Developing a Multi-Currency Expert Advisor with Unlimited Number of Parameters
The multi-currency Expert Advisor considered in the previous article "MQL5 Cookbook: Multi-Currency Expert Advisor - Simple, Neat and Quick Approach", can be very useful if the number of symbols and trading strategy parameters used is small. However, there is a restriction on the number of input parameters of an Expert Advisor in MQL5: they should be no more than 1024.
And even though this number will very often be sufficient, it is very inconvenient to use such a huge list of parameters. Every time a change or optimization of parameters for a given symbol is required, you have to search parameters for that specific symbol in the long parameter list.
In this article, we will create a pattern that uses a single set of parameters for optimization of a trading system, while allowing for unlimited number of parameters. The list of symbols will be created in a standard text file (*.txt). Input parameters for each symbol will also be stored in files.
It needs to be mentioned here that the Expert Advisor will work on one symbol in the normal operation mode but you will be able to test it in the Strategy Tester on a variety of selected symbols (on each symbol separately).
It would, in fact, be even more convenient to create the symbol list directly in the Market Watch window, considering that it even allows for saving ready made symbol sets. We could even make the Expert Advisor to get the symbol list in the Market Watch window directly from the Strategy Tester. But unfortunately, it is currently not possible to access the Market Watch window from the Strategy Tester, so we will have to create the symbol list manually in advance or using a script.

We have already implemented a new global georeferenced system of the messenger to be instead of the current one. Soon we will roll out.
There all this will be: the exchange of files, screenshots, sound, etc.
More to follow: there will be new MetaEditor with new group-work and with projects.
I'm really confused when i create a new order its nowhere near the actual market price its always about 5 pips away, when i click buy surely it should be right at the market price, so I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong?
I'm really confused when i create a new order its nowhere near the actual market price its always about 5 pips away, when i click buy surely it should be right at the market price, so I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong?
Are you talking about spread?
For forex pairs as 5 pips in 5 digit price? (50 points)?
Spread related to the brokers so if you do not like the spread in 50 points - change the broker.
In this examle (MT5, MetaQuotes-Demo server) the spread for EURUSD = 5 (not 50 as in your case):
For example - right mouse click on any symbol in Market Watch - Specification - to see the spread.
This is the spread for EURUSD on the other broker -
I'm really confused when i create a new order its nowhere near the actual market price its always about 5 pips away, when i click buy surely it should be right at the market price, so I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong?
But I think - you are talking about slippage, right?
From MetaTrader 5 Help → Trading Operations → Executing Trades -
============
There is the script to measure this situation for example -
SlipPage - script for MetaTrader 5
During the execution, slippages induce non-system profit/loss.
This script outputs the values of these slippages in the account currency.
