Hi, I observe the optimizer in MT5 getting slower and slower over time. At first, it shows to need 20 hours for 10000 runs. After 2000 runs it shows 600hrs . Quite often, when all agents are done, the optimizer waits and waits before it starts the next iteration. Is there anything I can check in

I have a relatively simple EA that I'm optimizing and when I run tick data the tester freezes at 99.8% complete and produces no error messages but will just sit there for hours until I stop the optimization. The peculiar behavior is that my agents can process 1 test just fine, but if it has to do

Hi, I started using the MQL5 VPS and it works but very slowly. My first few trades were executed with 25-35 seconds delay.

Hi experts :) I'm rather new to MT5, so I have limited knowhow. I'm running an EA, which placed orders incl. TP and SL (all good). However, during marked closure - or that very volatile hour - my broker has high spreads (e.g. 29 pips on EURGBP ), which sometimes triggers my SL "unwantedly". Meaning

Hi all.... I'm working on an EA and it's getting an weird behavior. I created a variable where I can change the timeframe for the chart.

Hi, I have an issue... I have no idea on how to overcome this. One EA on a MT5 client have been running for months with good results. Now for some reason it has.Not taken a single trade since July started. Nothing have changed in the settings, just stopped trading. So I setup a completely new and

Maybe a stupid question but what is ACCOUNT_MARGIN supposed to be as opposed to ACCOUNT_MARGIN_FREE? If I print this: AccountInfoDouble ( ACCOUNT_MARGIN ); I get 0.0 returned back from the broker. If I print this: AccountInfoDouble ( ACCOUNT_MARGIN_FREE ); I retrieve my current free margin

Hello. I am running the optimizer on my laptop and I have agents linked to my PC. I just bought a new motherboard and cpu with 12 cores. When I start optimization, Windows on my pc starts to hang even when I only use 6 agents. The cpu is around 2%-5%, the ram is ok and it's running on a disk that

In my EA, I use the following line of code to register its Magic Number: m_trade.SetExpertMagicNumber(Magic); The function has no return value, so is there a generic method to check whether a Magic Number is already in use? I'm looking to block an EA from loading if the Magic Number already exists
