Hello!  I used to write in mql4 and now coming back I'm having a very hard time getting my ea to work using mql5. One example, in the past I've been able to use something like this:  for(int i=0;i<10;i++) {   variable[i] = iMA(Symbol(),0,13,8,MODE_SMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,i); }  This was great! I...

I have been playing around with EA's for a while now and came to this theory. Some EA's makes profit good and fast, some EA's makes profit slower. Some EA's lose a bit of profit and then later starts making good profit. It all depends on the way your strategies are set up within the EA's But now I...

I want to implement some way to log my OpenPositions, modifyPositions (SLTP changes) and closePositions (by EA or by SLTP) to generate some metrics.   So I read the docs: onTrade and historySelect to implement a code to print all Deals and Orders history. The SLTP operations are in the history, but...

Has anybody developed any EA using Simple Moving Average ? If yes, is it effective? How to avoid trading on multiple crossovers in short time (in a flat market). Any effective solution for this? Thanks in advance

Is there a reason why you cannot encapsulate a nested struct or class like in C++? Here is an example. void OnStart(){    BClass b_object;    b_object.private_member_of_A.data1 = 10;    printf(IntegerToString(b_object.private_member_of_A.data1)); }...

The overall aim is create a code that increases lotsize by "x" ammount every time you lose. so if anyone has input on that that would be awesome.   My idea was to use the HistoryOrderInfo include file to access history to find when a trade has been lost then increase lotsize for next trade....

Hi Does anyone have any EA that places pending orders in trend lines, based on the object name?

I'm using strategy tester to simulate a custom EA. There is a combo box on the strategy tester which there are the following options: "Every tick", "Every tick based on real ticks".   My doubt is about the use of  the "Every tick based on real ticks". I know the "Every tick based on real ticks" is...

Hi, where can I see the IP Addresses of my rented VPS? Best regards.

I have been working on the theory of market management for half a year now. Of course, most will say that it is impossible, that the market is more chaotic than the universe itself and that it is impossible to manage it! But I believe that this is not true. Of course it is impossible to track 100%

Hi do any of you know if an EA for trading Binary Options with a profit exists? If so how do you need as a broker and how much will such an EA cost? The best thing would be if a real trader did the trading and via the EA placed the trades for his or her disciples :-)

Is it possible to get the performance results of each EA still?  Thanks 

I've been a FX trader for a few years now, and am looking at building an EA based on the trading strategy (trading sets) I use - but have no idea about MQL4..... is there anyone that would like to collaborate

So, I read a lot about the actual performance of an EA being sub-par as compared to the strategy tester results. Most of the time, when I look at the pretty screenshots of people's EAs and see this fantastic equity curve, I'll immediately look at the spread they used. You'll notice that most of the

Hi, I'd like to make an entry system that is a little quicker than manually creating orders. After identifying an AB boundary, I'd like to place 5 entries on specific retracement levels, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 72%, 86% all with the same stop (behind the A). The target will start at the 161.8%

I have the '*.set' file for an EA. In the MT5 user guide I read that this file is located in Tester directory. How can I open this '*.set' file to read its content? Also, should it have the same root name as its EA for it to be applied to the EA? Thank you.
