Has anybody tried to delete the o.m. folder to start mt4 only /portable ? It seems to me that many files are doubled with the problem which to use, is actual ... Success? Gooly

It is weekend! NO Ticks, NO Backtesting - but the mt4 (b628) requires 25% on each kernel's cpu time?? It behaves like a virus - may be that's the reason why it was detected as malware? Or Metaquotes has a partnership with an energy company

Hi, is there a way to know what was the the last tick that starts to process OnTick - Ask or Bid - except if e.g. Bid != lastBid <= newBid (what if the Bid hasn't changed and was re-sent?)

Hi, I tried various version to get what is not problem with int-values - leadiing zeros if a value is to small: 11 => "011"? I have the double v = 5.123 I want to get the string "005.123" using StringFormat("",v);

Hi, I know the list of changes for migrants of the existing MQL4. What I would like to ask is there a list of wishes of features for the actual MQL4 - maybe with an easy way of voting? I'd like to have e.g. an additional refresh option of the

I have installed mt4 b638 4 times each one for one of my kernels and each in its own folder. At the moment all 4 are running. One with an EA waiting for the next day (no indicators used or applied), the other three are waiting for me for the next

Hi, 1) OnTick() is executed if a new Tick has been sent by the server. But if the the server gets buzzy I do hae the feeling the data stream slows down :( 2) If I am opening an order it takes some time I can get a new and actual prices by

Hi, does anybody know how the MT4 calculates the maxDD as I see a difference between Drawdown $ of the Optimization and the 'Maximal Drawdown of the back-test result ( both 309 $ )? My set: I select one result of an optimization process (DD = 309 $)

Hi, I just realized s.th. unexpected. I have an Demo-Account with XY-Borker and created for back-testing the fxt-files and the hst files by the EA (b628) /portable loged in at XY-Broker and Birt's script!! I do have an account with Metaquotes but the

Hi, while backtesting and optimizing I realized that something must have changed the way mt4 uses/handles the fxt-file - am I right? I have created the fxt-file myself (Birt's script) and first I launched the mt4 by Tickstory Lite and I get what you

Hi, it seems that TesterStatistics() is working now (b628). While e.g. STAT_RECOVERY_FACTOR give a correct value the STAT_SHARPE_RATIO seems to be always 0.00000000 double OnTester ()  { //---      Print (

Hi, unfortunately it is only a feeling but the optimization of my EA took 24 hours with b509 (as far as I remember) but now - same logic and same amount of vars with the same range to optimize ok the trade-vars are now organized by structs (one

Following the solicitation of https://forum.mql4.com/62170 I dld and installed the terminal b628 and the editor b915 Butr the editor cannot be used!! This line: extern int

Hi, I know there are examples here usin the obsolet Windows- function like _open(), _read()... But I think this could be troublesome due to ANSI and UTF8... Anyway I want to read a csv-File which is admin. by LibreOffce and save LO save it as csv

Hi, does anybody has a link to the Windows-File-Constants (and may be others too - you never know) like: OPEN_EXISTING, GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, ... The Windows-Errors I have found. THanks in advance, Gooly

The old builts didn't enable us to get the Windows Errors: GetLastError ()? Now the mt4 still has that name :( Gooly

At the moment only one terminal b625 is running, 4 charts are open and no EA is applied!! Now I started my script in debug-mode: line by line. It shall start my test_EA to check how I can set and get the chart comment - an all of a sudden I there was

The easiest way for an EA to get information either from another chart or from the previous start was to use GlobalVariables. But they only exists and can take and provide doulbes: 8 byte. If you now want to save a long (int) 8 byte too variable its

Hi,my EA stops after 2014.03.25 12:04:50.800 Access violation read to 0x0ABB5000 in 'C:\Users\cas\Documents\MT4\mt1\MQL4\Experts\myEA.ex4' This EA is installed by a script 8 times. 7 time without any problem but the last crashes with the a.m. error

If my EA is stopped I want it to delete all its global variables! If I start the debugger the glob.vars are set but nothing is deleted if I stop the debugger: void OnDeinit ( const int reason ){ delMyGlobs(); } void delMyGlobs(){
