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

I understand that the "hedging" techique in its simple form is not allowed in the MT5 platform  due to regulatory restrictions in the US. That does not worry me, I do not use that technique. Are there other restrictions that are also implemented

I refer to history data on a pair that does not have a window open, the EA runs on another pair. Is the history data updated continouisly on that other pair or do I have to have a window open on that other pair too

I know I can check the hours but is there a simple test that can be done to determine if the market is open or closed

Trying to convert my MQL4 code to MQL5. I have done some rudimentary coding in MQL5. My MQL4 code is an EA that takes a position sliced into 4 parts. All start out with the same SL. 3 have fixed TP.  When first postion reaches TP the rest has

I am placing 4 orders with spaced TP. Question is which is best  - Place order,  modify order  4 times  or  - Place all orders first  - Then modify them

I am extracting all trades from account history as well from trades and storing in a MySQL database I would like to get the funding info too like deposits and withdrawals. Is it possible? Did not find any information in the MQL4 documentation

I have a MQL4 library that my EA uses. The library has several variables declared on a global scope as well as functions . The content in these variables are preserved between calls to the library. It functions a bit like an object with properties

There must be something essential that I dont understand. I have now tried 2 different methods to place 2 trades with different TP-levels.  Split position. 1. Just place  2 trades with differen TP-levels. Does not work, both trades ends up

Running Strategy Tester. I place 2 trades in succesion for the same pair. The only difference is the takeprofit level. In the Journal the result is: 2012.01.08 00:05:50    Core 1    2011.09.21 21:35:40   order
