Hi Traders. Just curious if there is any function that does the same job in MQL5 as in HideTestIndicators in MQL4. So far, I did not have any luck to find the same or similar function. Your sharing of your knowledge will be deeply appreciated. Kind regards.

I am looking for recommendations for an ichimoku based EA to employ a TK cross strategy using 4 hour charts in MT4 . 

Hi all, Thanks for looking at this thread. I've been developing a simple EA which essentially increases the position size based on volatility. However, it is only meant to be increasing the position size once per trade and then once again after another trade is open. I've attached the code that I...

Hey, I am totally new in automatic trading and I have a question: I follow a signal. The trader has an equity of $1500. Last night he got 2 profit trades of $12 and $13. I have an equity of $1000, I just earned $4.90 and $5.20 by those 2 same trades. It does not seem logical to me. Is it? What can...

Hi, since yesterday, the debugger is not able to compile the project anymore, just like that. It started when I created a macro and inserted this into some source files. This was the first time when the debugger created an invalid EX5 file, while the normal compiling process created a working...

Hi, I wonder if I can test a signal, with like 50 or 100 US$? This signal <deleted>) does not say how much you need but I was thinking to allocate a percentage of money that will result in 50 or 100 US$ Is this posible or do I need to invest 1000 US$ or more in a signal? Regards, Oliver

is it possible to somehow get more than one color from user, using one input ? (where user chooses the desired colors from the standard palette) (it's possible for indicators.) EDIT : structures are not permitted as inputs. :(

I am copying a signal. The equity is €996 and I have tried to migrate the signal with equity stop levels at €250, €50 and now €1. The VPS journal keeps saying the signal is stopped because the equity is below the allowed value. Even without any trades open. What am I doing wrong?

So that i cant overtrade! Should normally be a very small code and not difficult but I am unfortunately not a...

Hi, Is that possible to include TF as a parameter to my ea? It enter when rsi = x and price is out of keltner, leave when rsi = y. What make me think it can't is that : datetime lastCandle = 0; If I use a tf different from the "analyzed" it will try to use a candle as datatime and may not function.....

Hi, My ea is sometimes triggering "Invalid Stops". I believe that's why it calculate the stop value based on my medium price, and in Brazil's index, price always end with 0 or 5. And the Error only appears when finishing with 1,2,3,4,6,7,8 and 9. What should i go to avoid that? Thanks!

Just margin by itself does not count in the stoploss and fees so given enough market positions there will eventually be a stopout. There should be a formula to check free margin based on this for a new position with stoploss and fees. Calculating margin in such a way predicts the outlook of a margin...
