When I try to run it, or drag it into the trading window, it, says that "is not expert...

First of all, I love MT4 and I appreciate the function for using signals to profit from other traders. This is a great system if it works as decribed in the documentation. Please fix these 2 topics: 1. Lotsize percentage can not be < 1% In my journal I see the lotsize value conversion percentage is...

1) actually I am optimizing on b614 and I found a bit a weird thing. The Optimzation-Results-Tab shows the 'old' columns: Pass, Profit, ..., Drawdown $, Drawdown %, Param.-1, Param.-2, ...

When upgrading to Build600 you see this message "Old EX4 files work correctly and exactly the same way as before". HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! So why is my application not working in Build 600 and it worked perfectly on Build509. I have not changed it or re-compiled it. Should not have to according to this...

I am a relative newbie to MQL4, and I am not a programmer by training, but I had developed a number of rudimentary robots before the updated version of MQL4 was released, mainly just to give alerts, but not to place orders. I have developed two robots since then, and when I attach them to the chart

Hello, I want to program an EA to do trading for me. A problem is that I don't know all the possible trading actions needed. I wonder if there a starter MQ4 source file that already has the needed code in it, like, BUY, SELL, CLOSE and trailing stops and others I don't know about. I like lots of...
