Where to find Ultimate Oscillator for Metatrader 4? I have heard that UO is a very good oscillator to see divergences.
Why do the different brokers´s backtest produce diferent results? If I stand on the daily timeframe, and use the "tick" Model, does the software "look" at H4, H1, 30M,..etc down to the M1? does it use fractal interpolation at the M1 level or the D1 level? Im a littel confused, my EA uses a...

I have a problem with free space on my hard drive. I freed 1 GB one day ago and now I again have no free space. It seems that when I am doing strategy testing Metatrader consumes this space.

I am told learn a bit of C to better understand terms for building EAs. Please shed some light on this and it will be greatly appreciated. Todd Strugglin
I am just writing to ask what many have been wondering about. Does metatrader support other data feeds? (fxcm, esignal, etc.). And if so maybe someone with enough knowledge may share with the rest how it could be done. Thanks.

I think I have read somewhere that it should be possible to add unlimited lines to an indicator (from memory Slawa said, that it's only limited by computer memory). Below is a code that would use 10 but only 8 show in the indicator window (there should be two more red lines on level -100 and -200...
I have just discovered that unless you "ADD" at least one " PARAMETER " to the Expert Adviser Wizard your Expert will not Back Test. I have not yet checked if it will work life since the server is down for the weekend. I think that the "Wizard" should be smart enough to ADD at least one external

Hello, Sometime ago I was informed that Metatrader 4 doesn't include an API. I know I can get data through DDE. But do i need to have to turn on the terminal? And what is Data Center about? Is so i can get data without using the terminal? I am working on a Matlab project and this is why i am asking

I want to "papertrade" a chart by scrolling it all the way to the beginning, and then step one bar at a time, at its right edge, to simulate real time action. What happens though is that, e.g., I move the chart to February 2003 (using Control Home) to start my papertrading. Then suddenly the chart

Despite the hopefull promises in the Build 183 announcement I got last night "trade context busy" over extended phases (hours). This is not the "parallel SetOrder()" attempts since I avoid these with global variables, but really a hanger. When I am present I can fix these in no time with a...
