I notice that sometimes mt4/mt5 start using the intall path as the data folder, as a result it can't find my ea and custom indicators. A manually restart will make it find the right data folder, so everything is ok. Is there anyone know how to set data folder in command line parameters?

Today MT4 trailing Stop Loss is not accepted, any clue? any work around ?

Can someone please provide me step by step instructions for connecting MYFXBook to my live MT4 accounts? I believe it has something to do with expert advisors but I am not 100% sure.  Thanks for your time!
