Hello,   I'm new to trying Expert Advisers for ES futures. I've previously used them for Forex with mixed results. Do you suggest trying to purchase one, or to try writing my own first? What are your experiences

I am running two different EA's that both work on the same Fx pair and the same time frame (gbp-usd M5). When one of the EA's is actiavted... the SL and TP show up on both chart windows. It says which EA placed the trade, but how can I be sure this

How do I see my current ping speed? Is it always beneficial to use a VPS ? What's the best one

Hello,  So it seems that what's pre-programmed into MT4 only goes back several months if using M5 charts. Is there a way to download/purchase this data going back decades

In terms of low bid/ask spreads? Should I assume that it depends on the currency (actually, currencies) that are in question? So when markets are open in New York, then the USD pairs will have low spreads? And the same for open markets in UK/EU will

Hello, I have two questions. 1. What is the actual definition of "pip." On the EUR/USD, I always thought 1 pip referred to the 4th decimal place. But I'm seeing when changing the inputs of an EA that it seems to sometimes refer to the 4th, and

When I run a backtest, it seems to give me the results, which I will just assume are accurate because I have no way to verify. I would think it should give me a detail of every time that it entered and exited the trade during the time period, but I

Hello, Is it possible to run fully automated EA's on the MT4 mobile app? I have my broker account uploaded onto MT4 mobile

Hello, I am looking for a Forex brokerage that is legal to use in the USA that can support MT5. So far I've tried IG and Forex.com and they only support MT4. From what I can see, most of the EA's here are written in MT5. Thank you
