Hello,
Whilst reading through the MQL4 book, I downloaded and tried to compile the example .mq4 and .mqh files from the section called Structure of a Normal Program (http://book.mql4.com/build/structure). Unfortunately compiling it causes a series of error messages. I suspect this might have...

Hi, in my last post I asked how to change barcount in my ea code to something more reliable but was told that the barcount was fine in my code.. So I'm going to leave that now.

Hello forum, good day.
How can the lowest/highest point in each of the previous wave of a Moving average be detected counting from the current bar in MQL4? In other words, it would be like getting the support and resistance levels of a Moving Average instead of getting them from the price levels of...

I have bought a number of EAs on MQL5, and I have installed them on my MT4 running on my VPS. My question is, if I upgrade the RAM and the number of cores on my VPS, will my prior EA purchases be invalidated because the "hardware" has changed? I hope it won't reduce the number of downloads I have...

When I issue a market by order for 1 lot of EURUSD, there will be immediate 17.00 dollars loss. I believe this is due to the markup that brokers put on top of market price.
I'd like to set the markup(Is this also called spread?) to minimum value during the EA test, e.g.: 2 points. 0.2...
