I am sure this is explained somewhere but did not find it. What will be the sequence of events if I place  2  trades with Stoploss and different targets if both targets will be reached? Will the end result be the same as in MT4

I have been using my 3 local computers to run as many agent as possible. Has been working fine for a long time. It stilltakes a long time running for a multicurrency EA optimizing one pair at the time. I decided to try the cloud. Works fine most of

The EA I am developing is a Swing Trader EA. It uses Daily, 4-hour and 1-hour to determine trend. It uses 5-Minute for prospective entry and 1-M for entry. In order to make it independent of broker server time it is not a good idea to use the 4H and

For various reasons I want to maintain 2 versions of my EA. one MQL4 and one MQL5. Technically it works fine with the help of the compiler directive. Practically it is a bit awkward to keep 2 versions of the source in sync since the compiler must

In order to not mess up placing market order and corresponding pending SL and TP i stop placing orders on Friday in good time. That works OK. but it could be other days when trading closes. Is there a way to query the trade server about closing time

How do you test if EA is running in Strategy Tester or not? Tried to search the documentation but probably did not search in a correct  way

For quite some time I have been working on a multi currency EA. It is a trend following architecture  that buys dips in an uptrend and sells peaks in a downtrend. A lot of work has gone into the code. It si built so as to run optimzation one

Currently working on porting back an EA from MQL5 to MQL4. It was originally written i MQL4 but I needed the MultiCurrency functionality and tester functionality in MQL5 in order to get it fully tested. I am now porting it back to MT4 using the

Maybe I am misundestanding something. The example with sending MqlTick info over named pipes made me try adding tho the CNamedPipes mqh class and send a structure of my own design. Excatly the same code  compiles ok on new MQL4 and code

 Working on class to send trade information from a MT5 EA to an MT4(Latest) EA using named pipes .  I am using the tick server example as a guidance. So I am planning to use a struct like this to send the info: struct TradeInfo {

I have searched for downloads, I have downloaded a standard (509) from Metaquotes and opened an account with them and then changed server to demo.metaquotes.net:443 "No connection" Any other chioces

Existing system on MT4: Based on a number of criteria ("Swing Trading" system) 4 orders are placed and 3 of them are scaled out at predetermined levels. The last one runs with a trailng stop. When the first part is scaled out the remaining  are

If I have understood it correctly. When adding to a position the price will be adjusted to some kind of "average" price for the aggregated position. Is this " average price " adjusted with regard of the size of what is added in order to get the same

I have 2  W7 computers. I tried to copy all from one computer to the other. Everything works fine except for one thing. Handling of files. On my base computer files I need for input and files written (log) are placed in MQL5\Files. On my other

I do not know if this is possible already but if not I believe it would be a useful feature. Before starting a new combination of input parameter a user exit should be taken where the combination could be rejected or accepted. An example is when

Using Limit orders to scale out partial profit implies that I must cancel these limit orders if the base trade goes to stoploss. I checked OnTrade()  and OnTradeTransaction() but did not get any wiser.  Constantly monitoring the "base"

The documentation states that files that shpuld be accessable when running the strategy tester should be in the "tester" directory under   Agent...  MQL5\Files That works, I am not doing optimisation, I am testing and debugging so its

A bit confused. I want to scale out from a position So I place a Buy order for 0.4 lots with SL set but no TP.  No problem there Then I want to take half off after 300 pips. trade.OrderOpen("EURUSD", ORDER_TYPE_SELL_LIMIT
