Hi there - when I execute: double LotSize = MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_LOTSIZE); on symbol .BrentCrud I get LotSize back as 1.0 - I would expect 1000, because 1 Lot of Brent Crude is 1,000 barrels? Am I misunderstanding the definition of a term? Thanks

After a OS restart all known autostart software programs cannot restart the MT4 correctly because of a bug of build 600. The terminals are losing in this case all personal data like accounts, experts, indicators, profiles, etc. Has anybody heard if and when Metaquotes will offer a solution?

Hi!! I have just updated my MT4 to the Build610.

Hi, Let us say in an indicator there are three buffers. Can we attend buf_0 (i) minus buf_1 (i-1) to buf_2 (i). Buf_2(i)=buf_0(i)-buf_(i-1). It says out of range error. Why? Notice time difference . (i), (i-1).

Hi, I have Expert advisor, that creates some label object in init().
