Hi, Im writing a function for an EA that upon change of trend it will sum all the opened trades and open an order in the opposit direction with a new magic number. This order will only close when the trend changes again. For some reason it is opening multiple orders with the right amount of lots(the...

But how can I read these 70 and 30 level values from another indicator or EA? Thanks for your...

Opening the chart and refreshing the history (right click on chart -> refresh) leads icustom to get me a different result compared to a not opened...

Hello, When I run the attached EA in Strategy Tester I get the following in the Results tab. The entry in bold is the one I don't understand. This EA hedges a trade between a buystop and sellstop while doubling lotsize as price reverses and sets takeprofit and stoploss at equal opposing levels. As...

I've noticed my phone only alerts me to a push notification when I open the MT4 app on my phone. It won't vibrate when the app is closed. This severely limits the use of the notification. Is there any way I can get the notification vibration as long as my phone is on, even if the MT4 app is closed...

This kinda follows on from my previous question - https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/146554 I contacted Birt about the issues with the dates... His suggestion was it could be related to the way my EA is coded (no surprise really, as this is all still fairly new to me). His thoughts, that it could be...

I found this indicator and I want to make an EA of it but I'm stuck at one value. No, I don't have the source code, otherwise I wouldn't need your help. If you attach this to any chart, you will have 2 horizontal lines (usually the same value in positive and negative). I need to know how these 2...

I know nothing about programming (proven by my 3 hour attempt to write software for an EA where I became utterly lost), but I have a trading system for Forex, metals & indices which has performed exceptionally well on paper. It has made profits on 22 out of 25 entities on which I tried it I am keen...
