Hello,  This is the second instance I've had in the past 2 weeks where my take profit order has not been filled automatically after being set.  As a direct result I have very low confidence in continuing to use MT4 as my primary trading platform.  As you can see in the image, the sell order was...

Hello, It happens that I need to switch from a long to a short trading position or the other way around. I'd like to know if there is a simple click that allows me to do so, rather than manually reversing my trading position. Thank you. Very much appreciated.     

An issue made me question the following: I have been using OrderSelect(<pos>,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES), ASSUMING that such a select was returning the ORDERS in the same order in which they had been created. Some things are now leading me to question this reasoning. IS it the created order that is...

Hello To the coders: Is there anything I particularly need to watch out for in creating an OrderSend for a live account? I've attached a piece of code that seems to work fine - in StrategyTester, probably even in Demo. I just want to make sure bases are covered. Note: At this point I have no...

I have a csv file with dynamically changing information in it.  I have an indicator that reads the file and converts the data into parameters to draw objects.

Hi, Can somebody give me a hint how to program an exit on the first profitable open price? After long or short the EA should check on every new open price if it is profitable or not and to close the trade if profitable. Thanks!
