Hi all, While working on an EA which was losing horribly, I thought well if it is losing big, why not turn it around and make it winning big! I changed every buy condition into a sell condition and visa versa. So all my buy and sell orders should have been reversed and now every loss should be a win...

I got tired of compiling include files and seeing the 'warning "someFunction" is not referenced and will be removed from the exp-file'. By the time I get to the script that uses them all, the list is so long I have to scroll to bottom to see if there are any errors. So I created a bogus start()...

So... the other day I whipped up a little genetic algorithm to find systems and then I remembered that the Strategy Tester has a genetic algorithm checkbox. So... would it make the most sense to write an EA that took inputs for Indicator1Type, Indicator1Mode, Indicator1Period, Indicator1Type,...

I have been experimenting with adding an additional index array to a modified iAO(). The new index is not intended to draw anything. Instead, I want that index to return a 1 if the "up" buffer has received the MACD value, and -1 if the "down" buffer has received the MACD. My thought was that, since

Is there any advantage to using #define instead of a global variable? My gut tells me that a global variable can be changes but a #defined variable can't. Is there any other thing to consider?

I read http://geosoft.no/development/cppstyle.html#Naming%20Conventions so that my code can look like others. Now I can't figure out how to name something to coincide with Conventional naming. I know that I can do it any way I want, but I would like my scripts to look like the experts, so that...

Is there a way to check for this error before a trade is actually attempted

Hello coders, I am still relatively new to coding and I am writing an EA that does pretty much what i want it to. It opens trades when I want it to, it closes them when I want it to, etc. However, I have run into a wall. I want the EA to have a maximum of 2 open orders at any given time. If there...

I'm new to MT4. I have 2 include files (file_1.mqh & file_2.mqh). They are both general purpose functions, but for organizational purposes I would like to keep them in 2 files. Each file uses a function in the other, so I always get an error saying "some_function() doesn't exist" when I try to...

Hi, I would appreciate some help on the two issues described below. If a user drags and drops an EA to the chart, is there any way for this EA to find out the exact time/price where the user has dropped/released the EA on the chart? Another question: can an EA make some kind of call to the user...

I know this is a weird question, but I'm trying to figures out what kind of things are possible in MT4, so I'm experimenting.
