"not enough money" on strategy tester (build 2361 - 08 Mar 2020)

My local MT5 installation was just updated to build 2361. After that, tests with my EA started failing on placing new orders, always with "not enough money" error. Why this is happening? The exact test with the same EA was working until yesterday, but now orders are being rejected on strategy tester

Specifying MT5 intallation to python package

I´m trying python package but got I problem right in the first line of my script. After importing the necessary packages I´m calling MT5Initialize(), but I have more than one MT5 installed in my computer and the one being loaded is not the one I would like. The docs mention a "path" argument, as

How to use trade events with CExpert?

CExpert has some event handler methods, namely TradeEventPositionOpened, TradeEventPositionVolumeChanged, TradeEventPositionModified, among others. The question is: when these methods are called? Taking TradeEventPositionOpened as example, in my tests this method is never called, even when the EA

Partial TPs using base classes

I'm using standard library 's base classes for creating an EA. After opening a new position, I'd like to post some pending orders for partial TPs, as well as a stop order. The doubt is what is the more elegant way of doing this using the standard library's base classes? At this moment I just coded a
