How to handle price calculations for different asset classes?

Hi, I want to run an EA in strategy tester with different symbols/asset-classes at once, therefore I want to have one set of optimization settings for all assets. Is that possible somehow? For example (all just sample numbers!): If we talk about US30, we talk about "points": ATR has a value of 16 SL

Does a broker cut the connection if I trade too much?

Hi, I have a question about a brokers behaviour. I know, that this will be different from broker to broker of course, but I assume there is a common brokers behaviour. I have no experience with that, that is why I'm asking: If I use an EA (my boker says: trading with EAs is allowed) that handles a

Better / clearer view with many pending orders?

Hello, i‌s there a setting/EA/whatever which provides a better chart view if I have many pending orders ? With default settings the order-lines (Stop-Entry, TP and SL) have a label on the left side in a chart window. But this labels often overlay each other and are not longer readable therefore. I‌s

MT5: OBJ_HLINE dragging event

Hi, is it possible to capture the dragging process of a horizontal line somehow? I can get the CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_DRAG event but this event only fires when dragging is finished. I want to capture the dragging itself, like mouse-move that is updating x and y position of the mouse continuosly. Why
