I have been studying MQL5 and have come to the conclusion that rather than recode my existing EA's in that language I'll continue to run them in MT4. I've made my goal to only code new EAs in MT5 however, so I may be reusing methodology in some places but it will be a chance for a fresh start. I...

Hi MQL5 Support, I have an other suggestion about the trend line: when I set a trend line I should set directly an alert, without settimg the trend line first and then open the alert box and set the alert too. The alert mayalso have as options to be executed at the end of the bar or inside the...
