First of all, yes, I know there are thousands of similar posts here and I read it all (I think) and still haven't found a solution. Second of all, I am using the following approach to calculate risks: double ValuePerPoint() { // Minimal price change (?) double tickSize = SymbolInfoDouble

I have a spread variable/array and I want to apply bollinger bands to it, but I cannot figure out how to do it. I searched everywhere and the only info I found is how to apply the iBands indicator on another indicator's data. But I found nothing about how to apply it on a custom array. Can anybody

Hi! I have an EA which dynamically creates a SQLITE database (based on each new day) and fulfill its fields using only the available functions of MQL5 - there is no DLL involved. And also, the database is created within the TerminalInfoString(TERMINAL_COMMONDATA_PATH) , I mean, there is no special

I'm testing a multi stocks EA. When I run a single test, everthing works well and the EA consumes 2GB to run the entire history. When I active the generic algorithm, the MT5 was unable to run with "no memory" error. At the end, the MT5 says: "Tester 24 passes not processed and returned to task
