Well. Stage 1 of my MT4 life is complete. I have an EA that earns a good profit on demo accounts. But I think it's too good to be true as profits are directly affected by the brokers' processing times of OrderSend and, in particular, OrderModify. Am I right i assuming processing times are...
I have tested it on two brokers where I can manually open a new trade as "Market Execution" with "Stop Loss" and "Take Profit" options disabled. That's expected, but in fact, when I create an EA, OrderSend() function works when SL and TP parameters are used. It just opens trades as in non-ECN broker...

Hi guys, to be honest I don't even know if this is can be coded or not so some help would be appreciated... literally I have always thought that mt4's built-in function of switching to the previously opened chart using Ctrl-F6 and Ctrl-tab really needs another function to switch to the previous and...
I've written an EA that seems to be working as anticipated when I backtest or run in Visual Mode. When I first started trading on live data, I was plagued by "Order Off Quotes" errors. After much reading on the forums, I modified my code and was able to get this issue resolved. However, it is still...
