Hi to all,
Could anyone tell me how to activate the London Gold pricing? When I right click the symbol, I click the symbols but it is only showing all Forex but without London Gold.

Hello Slawa and other developers,
it has been pointed out before that it would very much improve the usefulness of the saved reports from the strategy tester if the parameter settings could be saved in there as well. I very much agree - it is very difficult to keep track of all parameter settings...
Has anyone else studied the underlying Bid-Ask prices in the backtest environment? I'm using the previous version of MetaTrader available at InterBank FX. I used the print command to see what values the system is using for Bid Ask prices. I printed values for the latest hour and saw spreads of 2...

I'm "still learning" how to program and wanted to create and use a User Defined Function, however I guess I don't understand how to do this. I am modifying an indicator which uses the following code mulitple times. I thought it best to create a function and call it rather than duplicate these lines...

To MeataQuotes: Unless I am missing something the following function appears illogical since there may be more than one object assign to (i). name=ObjectName(i); How do you get all objects assign to (i)? In addition, even if only one object is assign to (i) the function returns wrong name.
My broker, FXDD, is still on v3.86 build 6414. I'm a seasoned software developer and am trying to write some experts but am having all sorts of "strange" issues. Specifically, global variables won't set properly at times. Another issue is variable initialization. If I declare a var as...
I want to make a strategy where they have different closing methods. What I mean is for example when its a buy then to close the indiactor has to go from x>0 to x<=0 and if sell then x=0. My problem is that Im not sure where to input that. Should I just not put anything in the close and then go in...
Global variables to program are set values in the init() function are not visible while in the start() function, is this correct? double dTest; int init() { dTest=1.234; return(0); } int start() { Comment( "dTest:", dTest ); // dTest:0 return(0); }
I set the "To:" field to "a@a.com, b@b.com" in Tools->Options->EMail tab.
And I use SendMail() function, but I can't send a mail to 2 addresses.
MetaTrader converts the "To:" field to '"a@a.com" <b@b.com>'.
Could you show me how to send a mail to 2 addresses?

Hello,
I use Matlab (www.mathworks.com) to develop and test my trading systems. Soon I will use Metatrader to trade in Forex.
I know I can save CSV data files in Metatrader 4.
But is there a way to get data directly from Metatrader 4?
Maybe an API as in Metatrader 3. Maybe another way?
Can...

In the following:
#include <stdlib.mqh>int start(){ Comment("Test comment: Up ", (Bid - Low[0]) / Point, " pips from low, down ", (High[0] - Bid) / Point, " pips from high"); return(0);}
The comment always refers to one tick before, not the current...
Although new to MT and MT4 in particular, I have experience with Omega products. I am trying to gain an understanding about visual signals and their relationship to the decision (coming from the from the formula) to make a trade and finally automatically carry out that trade.

I noticed this issue while trying to draw Weekly MA's on a 4 hour chart.
I'm using a Trading system called the Tunnel, 2 indicators, 2 MA's on a 4hr chart and 2 MA's on a weekly chart. I decided to include the weekly MA's on the 4hr chart. However, when I coded it and it drew the weekly MA's on...

Why would my iLow give me the day's open and not the low of the day? In fact the Open & Close & Low are all the same. I have used "PERIOD_D1" in stead of zero, but it still does not work.
if(iLow(NULL,0,0)<(OrderOpenPrice()-(OrderTakeProfit()/10000))) {...
Hi all. My charts are freezing up on me while my EA is running, even though the price continues to change in the Market Watch section of MT4. I currently have 4 MT4's running, so perhaps that is the cause? As you can imagine, this is a big problem. I have turned off my screen saver...could that...
