Hi, Is there any framework/wrapper library for MQL4 to make life easier? I havent really been searching around much, but so far I havent seen any. In case there is no such thing, would anyone be interested to create one?

Volumes, as far as I know, are not often used by traders in their TS. Nevertheless, they do occur. This is why the question arose about its appropriateness and, if so, in what capacity they can be used. Especially since a lot has changed in the forex market in the last few years: 5-digit signs

What is the best way to trade multiple pairs? Ex. I would like to trade like 4 pairs on the same account When running EA, I face problem like error 146, TradeDispatcher is busy. I believe the cause of this is that MT4 is single threading and EA cannot make more than one trade at a time? Correct me...

Hello All, I have a EA based on Laguerre and Moving Averages indicators, among others. In case of wrong signal I use martingale to help the account (with constant steps, incremental steps or Fibonacci steps) From my statistics the probability of a wrong signal is just about 2% (I used 10 pairs to

Does anyone know of an indicator that charts the change of the previous bar (or several bars) in pips rather than a percentage? I really need this for a strategy I am trading. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Daniel

My system is in MLQ4 on metatrader and trades sweet crude oil futures. It does well in forward testing in the month or so I have run it. It does reasonably well in backtesting in metatrader. But of course the metatrader backtester is extrememly limited. I would like tick data for sweet crude oil...

Hello, I wrote an EA. The report gives my the number of trades (n) and the total net profit (p). Fine. Now just for test reasons, I replaced 1 OrderSend command and 1 OrderClose command by 10 OrderSend commands and 10 OrderClose commands. The n should go to 10*n and the p to 10*p, right ? The n does...

Ok, so i'm now in the "sensitivity study" phase of my development, and i thought i'd use the "optimiser" in the backtest to help me out. Basically i'm checking for optimum operational modes of my EAs, (e.g. multiple orders vs single order, hedging vs not, etc). Instead of running the backtest for...

I have this code for the i-Regr indicator. I would like to integrate it directly into my EA so that I do not have to call iCustom() as it is very slow.
