Hi, I'm pretty advanced by now using EA, and I'm automating my trading through them, I'm working with 3 different brokers all through MT4 (Alpari, Forex.com, ActivTrades) and out of 3 months of trading, this has happened once on each one. I request to open an order, and receive the ticket I...

I have an EA which opens 2 orders of differing lot size. Occasionally, 1 lot will not open, or I will close one lot manually, etc. I'd like to be able to display the open order status on the chart, rather than searching through the terminal to find the pair, etc - can this be done automatically?

Everyone, I have developed a relatively simple EA, and wanted to test it by using Strategy Tester in order to find the best setup (S/L,T/P).

When running logic every tick - only looking at open trades and staying away from history trades - the backtesting suffers and takes longer. If you move that logic to a DLL (probably c# or freepascal or c++ sample in mt4passing either each tick or an array[] - something efficient ) - well ............

string look1, look2, symarray[ 5 ]; symarray[ 5 ] = { "EURUSD" , "EURJPY" , "GBPUSD" , "USDCHF" , "JPYGBP" }; ArraySetAsSeries (symarray, false ); // index starting 0 at left look1=symarray[ 0 ]; look2=symarray[ 1 ]; Print ( "symarray 2 elements 0 = " +look1+ " and 1= " +look2); Simple eh! except

Hello, Is it possible to move the time backwards by some increment (eg tick, candle, etc.) in the Strategy Tester? Or to start the tester at a specific time of day? Thanks.

I have written some basic code to incorporate into my EA, where by, if the server time is out of my trading time frame, no trades will searched for, let alone any positions be placed. I have a few questions around this: 1) Can this be properly analysed via Strategy Tester, or is that impossible...

I created this EA using Expert Advisor Builder (http://sufx.core.t3-ism.net/ExpertAdvisorBuilder/index.html). This EA uses parts of the GMMA indicator. It just utilizes 7 of the 12 moving averages for simplicity. It opens one position when conditions are met and Trailing Stops takes care of the...

After having been at Forex for awhile now, both coding and trading, I'm beginning to suspect that retail traders have almost no chance of being profitable consistently. Even when you find an EA that has perfect backtest results you find something like it utilizes no stoploss. Even a pure...
