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

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(){

I defined a struct: struct TradeStr { int Cnt;          string TrdCat, Symb, Descr, Full, OrdCmt; }; and in my EA I define a tmp-var of that: TradeStr tmpStr; If now the debugger is on its step by step mode

To check the initialization of my EA (on b625) I tried to start the debugger with (editor b914) Tools -> Options.. Debug: - Use specific symbol and period - AUDUSD - M1 no I start the debugger and ... and nothing happens: In the Expert tab I read

Some 'builts ago' I was able to arrange and add icons to the top icon 'line' with New Open (folder) Save save All ... Start Terminal. But now I can't find any more where and how I can add e.g. Undo and Redo. I would expect either a menu upon right

Does anybody knows which one is correct: terminal.exe /portable or terminal.exe "/portable" ? I have seen both, both are working - which is better

Hi the new mt4 has a lot more functions . With ChartID(), ChartIndicatorsTotal(..), ... I can get all the indicators running on (all) another chart of the terminal. Is there a way to get the name of an EA running on (all) another chart of the

Splitting a string works if I use: StringSplit (strFile, '\t' ,arrTab); but this does not: StringSplit (strFile, "\t" ,arrTab); What is the difference that one works the other not
