Hi I am an experienced developer but this is my first attempt at an MQL4 expert advisor. I am looking open two pending orders on the Germany 30 indicies as soon as it opens (7:00 BST). As my broker is alpari and from what I have read their servers work on GMT+3 this means I should try and get the...
I want to place a pending long order and then when "something" happens : a. delete it OR b. if it is executed, close it.

iHigh(Symbol(),PERIOD_W1,1); // returns zero in backtesting Why does the above function return zero in backtesting but the correct value in real time testing? Is it a platform limitation? Or is it something specific to my local installation? I would assume the latter as I seem to recall using this...
Hi all, Just going through the MQL4 book. It says that limit orders become market orders when the price is hit. So does this mean there are no actual limit orders in MT4? Thanks in advance.
I might have found an ugly bug in the Optimization side of MT4 build 509, related to the new Spread control feature. After running an optimization for the first time, with a Spread value of say 40 pips specified in the new Spread control box, if you just change its value to another number (50 pips...
