I've implemented inbound and outbound Winsock socket comms between MT4 and my Java trading client via a few EAs, entirely within localhost. I'm considering running the MT4 platform terminal.exe as a spawned sub-process to my client, so that I can easily stop and restart it, if it is unresponsive

In an mql4 program (and in general) what's 'harder' on the computer: processing and if() statement, initializing a variable, or redefining an existing variable? If you had to put them in order from least taxing to most with special consideration to execution speed , how would you rank them? Thanks

Hello, The following EA based on Moving Average works perfectly on EUR/USD H4 200-6, EUR/USD H4 200-6, EUR/USD, H4 20-6 EUR/USD and AUD/USD H4 200-6.

I wrote this simple gold script to set a stop and tp on gold at Alpari for an open long position. I set the values to 1,000 pips away - it still won't let me set, even though it will allow me to set the same values manually. How do I fix this? #property show_inputs extern int Stop = 1000 ;
