 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

This can not possibly be a new problem but I have not found a good solution searching. I am "porting" an MT4 EA that takes 4 positions, theLimit for a  last one running a trailing stop. This is straightforward in MQL4 So I start with opening a

I have an EA that places 2 trades with size 0.1  with the same stoploss Running in Strategy tester The trade hits stoploss  a while later    with a sell of 1.4 lots. Where the heck did the size 1.4 come from???  Must be

Converting an EA from MQL4 to MQL5 My library is named FXCMTFunc.ex5  and is placed in MQL5\Libraries #property library #property copyright "Copyright 2013, Nova Data Skr. AB" #property link     

I have got an EA  written in MQL4 that traverses the account gsthering information on both open and closed orders and stores it in an MySQL database. I am trying to port it to MQL5 but have not found a good "handle" to start.  Is there some

While  working on a different trading platform some years ago (BioProfit) I found out that  the best metrics to judge a system was to judge the slope of the equity curve. It should be as straiight as possible, not neccessary as steep as

Found using Named Pipes to mirror in MT5. Any code for MT4 around

I have a multicurrency EA that operates on 27 pairs. It takes 4 trades for every trade opportunity 3 scale out and on trailer. Open orders quite often run up to 8-10 percent of the accountbalance rather fast and I like to take that I am implementing

I have experienced 2 similar problems with autotrading. The original multicorrency sample get a reply of not allowed when asking if autotrading is allowed. I commented out the test and everything worked fine on another test I get error 1006

If I remember correctly it is not possible to enter 4 orders for the same pair and set different profit levels (I do that in my MT4 EA) I have to place one order for the total amount and scale out by placing pending orders in the opposite direction

What will be the important differences between MT4 and MT5 after "The Big CHANGE"

Ist this possible on the MT5 platform?  It does not seem possible on MT4
