...but for whom? Just some educated thoughts: If Forex were a Roulette -like Game, the odds would be 50:50 (rouge-noir;up-down). Yet 95% of all Forex traders lose their money. This is far from random, far from throwing dice. This cries for some implemented kind of system to the disadvantage of the...

I am aware it could be something inside my indicator. But I'm at loss now. It doesn't work, it doesn't show anything in experts, but compiles ok. Weird enough, I have an older mt5 from alpari installed, and there it works. Something ever weirder happen when I started to debug it. The indicator...

Hey Ross, Does MQL5 has some function that can execute an external program (both synchronously or unsynchronously) ?? We could used it as a trigger to some external process, in a very simple way (we could call this function from OnTick() event handler). It would help a lot the integration of...

Hi, I tried running an EA on the Intel Atom N455 @ 1.66GHz, 2037 MB memory Netbook Dell Inspiron mini. I created many Print statements in the code so that I could analyse the log file of the strategy tester. I noticed that many of the Print statements did not print at all in the log file which...

In my opinion, every trade you consider should be laid out ahead of time with a roadmap. A complete map should have an “off ramp” or a place where it makes sense to enter the market.
