How can anybody claim that overoptimization is bad? It is simply impossible to cherry pick history data to look good. I mean, who is stupid enough to test their software on ONLY one set of data just to look good? I am sure, everybody is smart enough to test their software on multiple sets of data...

Hi all, I have just recently upgraded to build 223 and have noticed something strange going on... I have an EA which calls a custom indicator "InsideBars" which as the name suggests draws an arrow on the chart below the low of the bar if it is an inside bar, EMPTY_VALUE otherwise.

This may seem like a dumb question, but here goes. (I am a programmer, but new to MT$, so forgive the question if it is dumb.) Last night I was modifying my EA code from a directory on a flash drive, compiling it there, and then copying the .exe to the MT4 experts folder. Today, that doesn't seem...
Hi, I put PERIOD_M1 in the Timeframe param, and attach this indicator to a M5-chart (not M1-chart). double MA20=iMA(NULL,PERIOD_M1,20,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1); What does this give me? The value of MA-20 on M5's last bar, or value of MA-20 on M1's last bar? I am having trouble with obtaining past...

In another post I complained about modeling quality itself. Now I found that the modeling quality is not constant for the same test that is run multiple times. This ultimately proves that the tester is not reliable (build 222). 1. First, let's make sure that we delete all history and tester cache: 2...

I've searched the site and evidently mouse clicks can't be captured; has anyone found a work around to do this? Failing that, is there any way to get the co-ordinates of a trend line that has been drawn manually? The time co-ordinate is obviously given by the current bar, but I can't figure any way...

Also, I noticed that I either have to initialize the array, or provide a size during declaration for it to work properly. See the code below that does none of these, and...
