Sergey,

Thanks. I have just tried the following process. (I noticed the Chart TimeFrame that my EA was running on was incorrect).

1/ Pressing the correct TF (on what I see on my PC) after *Migrating* doesn't change anything. (However, I notice I can close trades).

2/ I setup a new Chart with EA & correct TF setups. Deleted old Chart at VPS ---- then pressed *Sychronise* and my new chart & setup joined the VPS.

3/ I also right-clicked *Stop Server* on the nevigator tab ---- however, not sure that was required.

You should set everything up in your Metatrader and press to synchronize ... that's all ... and any time you are making the changes (or you are not sure about) - synchronize your 'home Metatrader' with VPS.

Custom Walk Forward optimization in MetaTrader 5


Algorithmic trading consists not only of planning and development of trading robots but also (to a greater extent) testing and verifying the survivability of ideas and algorithms implemented in them. MetaTrader 5 provides the built-in tester for optimizing Expert Advisors on historical data. This tool is often indispensable in everyday activity. However, its main issue is the search for parameters that remain steadily profitable over time beyond the period the optimization was performed on. One of the possible solutions is forward testing. The tester features the appropriatebuilt-in mode. But is it enough to optimize the EA once and successfully check it on a subsequent period to ensure its reliability?

The EA's operation cycle implies that the optimization and trade stages are repeated from time to time with the chosen frequency, and traders expect positive (or at least loss-free) results over a long period of time. To ensure the system's efficiency, it is necessary to repeat the cycle stages many times in the tester launching optimization and forward testing with a constant shift of the current period from the past to the virtual future.

This is called thewalk forward optimizationand widely used by many traders. Unfortunately, the built-in MetaTrader tester does not allow launching it at the touch of a button. Instead, we have to automate the tester launch using external tools and stick forward test reports together. Therefore, there is a need to execute a walk forward analysis in a simpler way solely by means of MetaTrader and MQL with no routine operations.

As it tuns out, we are able to develop an MQL library that can be easily connected to any EA if necessary. You will need some programming skills since we are going to adapt the EA source code.

MQL5 Reference MQL5 programs Resources

Including resources to executable files during compilation of mql5 programs

An mql5 program may need a lot of different downloadable resources in the form of image and sound files. In order to eliminate the need to transfer all these files when moving an executable file in MQL5, the compiler's directive #resource hould be used:

#resource path_to_resource_file

The #resource command tells the compiler that the resource at the specified pathpath_to_resource_fileshould be included into the executable EX5 file. Thus all the necessary images and sounds can be located directly in an EX5 file, so that there is no need to transfer separately the files used in it, if you want to run the program on a different terminal. Any EX5 file can contain resources, and any EX5 program can use resources from another EX5 program.

The files in format BMP and WAV are automatically compressed before including them to an EX5 file. This denotes that in addition to the creation of complete programs in MQL5, using resources also allows to reduce the total size of necessary files when using graphics and sounds, as compared to the usual way of MQL5 program writing.

The resource file size must not exceed 128 Mb.

Search for specified resources by a compiler

A resource is inserted using the command #resource "<path to the resource file>"

#resource "<path_to_resource_file>"


The compiler searches for a resource at the specified path in the following order:The length of the constant string <path_to_resource_file> must not exceed 63 characters.

  • if the backslash "\" separator (written as "\\") is placed at  the beginning of the path, it searches for the resource relative to the directory terminal_data_directory\MQL5\,
  • if there is no backslash, it searches for the resource relative to the location of the source file, in which the resource is written.

The resource path cannot contain the substrings "..\\" and ":\\".

Examples of resource inclusion:

//--- correct specification of resources 
#resource "\\Images\\euro.bmp" // euro.bmp is located in terminal_data_directory\MQL5\Images\ 
#resource "picture.bmp"        // picture.bmp is located in the same directory as the source file 
#resource "Resource\\map.bmp"  // the resource is located in source_file_directory\Resource\map.bmp
 
//--- incorrect specification of resources 
#resource ":picture_2.bmp"     // must not contain ":" 
#resource "..\\picture_3.bmp"  // must not contain ".." 
#resource "\\Files\\Images\\Folder_First\\My_panel\\Labels\\too_long_path.bmp" //more than 63 symbols

J'ai essayé de créer ce film pour m'aider à moi-même et à d'autres pour commencer avec Metatrader 5.

Je suis expérimenté en MT4 et en forex en général (j'espère :) mais nous, les commerçants, devons vraiment collecter Toutes les informations sur ce sujet en un seul endroit. Je ferai quelques publications sur «Commentaire je commence par MT5». :)

Mettez votre question sur Metatrader 5 et je vais essayer de votre réponse,
ou nous répondrons tous ensemble.

Using cloud storage services for data exchange between terminals 


Cloud technologies are becoming more popular in the modern world. We are able to use paid or free storage services of various sizes. But is it possible to use them in practical trading? This article proposes a technology for exchanging data between terminals using cloud storage services.

You may ask, why we need a cloud storage for this when we already have solutions for a direct connection between terminals. But I think, this approach has a number of advantages. First, a provider remains anonymous: users get access to a cloud server instead of the provider's PC. Thus, the provider's computer is protected from virus attacks, and it does not have to be permanently connected to the internet. It should connect only to send messages to the server. Second, a cloud may contain virtually unlimited number of providers. And third, as their number of users increases, providers do not have to improve their computing capacities.

Let's use the free cloud storage of 15 GB provided by Google as an example. This is more than enough for our objectives.
