Hello, I wrote an EA. The report gives my the number of trades (n) and the total net profit (p). Fine.

Ok, so i'm now in the "sensitivity study" phase of my development, and i thought i'd use the "optimiser" in the backtest to help me out. Basically i'm checking for optimum operational modes of my EAs, (e.g. multiple orders vs single order, hedging vs not, etc). Instead of running the backtest for...
I have this code for the i-Regr indicator. I would like to integrate it directly into my EA so that I do not have to call iCustom() as it is very slow. It seems simple enough but I cannot figure out how to get last bar's value. Since I only care about the current value and last bar's value I think I...
has anyone created a slow stochastic indicator to use whilst trading with Bill Poulos's Forex Profit accelarator program? I can obtain the other settings of %K=8, %D=3 and slowing =3 but I note that the subsequent indicator is not quite the same as a slow oscillator as per VT Trader(which Bill...

hi, metatrader seems to automatically delete old log files from .../experts/logs/, leaving only the last five trading days. is it possible to configure it to not delete the old log files? i realise that i could write a script to rename or move the old log files, but it would be easier to just set an...
Dear Friends, On the Theory of Reflexivity ( by George Soros ), if there are two subjects ( A and B for instance ), both A and B could influence each other.

hi i have an ea that opens multiple trades (ticket_111, ticket_121, ticket_131,...), but the problem is that each ticket is opened multiple times, so i need a method to control the number of trades opened. an "if" statement would be the best. something like: if(ticket_111==0){ *open trade...
Hello all,I have been trying to figure this one out for some time now but am still stumped. When I open and close trades with my scripts, I get blue and red arrows (with a connecting dotted line) on the charts showing where the trade was opened/closed. I know why that is (because of the color...
Hi, I noticed that it's possible to incorporate Windows DLLs into MT4 (I saw the checkbox in the options menu). Just curious, what are people doing with this feature? I would like to have a second window outside the MT4 sandbox showing various statistical calculations and other data. Could this...
