Hello all,  I'm testing an EA that scans multiple currency pairs at the beginning of the bar and calculates the relative currency strength of each and notifies me of the strongest or most active pair at any given moment.  I've come to

Hi, For various reasons instead of writing many stand alone EA's and running each in its own terminal, I have instead opted to run those same strategies  in a single EA that cycles through them as a series of function calls. I may have got

Hi, Ever since the update to build 1045 I get frequent crashes in MT4.  I've submitted a ticket to the service desk. I'm running windows server 2008 R2 64 bit and accessing via remote desktop. The first thing that happens is a popup window that

Hi, Had an EA trade in clear violation of its rules and I can't see anything obvious in the code.  I use several MA's to identify trend an only trade in the direction of the trends.  I did notice the following in my if

Hi, Rather than try to find one home run trading strategy, I've opted to find a collection of high probability but low gain strategies, the collection of which would be attractive.  I noticed different back test results when testing them singly

Hi all, I've observed different results on the strategy tested and was simply seeking a little perspective. I originally worked on a couple of EA's that used the same skeleton code but each operated strictly in a specific timeframe.  I've

Hi, I certainly appreciate the willingness of everyone here to help--it has benefitted me greatly.  And I am sorry some are tired (qjol et al.)  Some day I do hope to donate to say thanks. In testing my demo account I notice that sometimes

I have a server at a remote location and my laptop.  I can install a new copy of MT4 on the server fine, but on my laptop today I am asked for a proxy.  In both cases I am installing from the same brokerage.  My regular web access is

Just that question.  Am adding 4/5 digit broker detection to an ea I wrote on a 5 digit broker.  On the 5 digit broker I might send an order with a take profit or a stop loss of say 125 points which would be translated to 12.5 points for

Or should I go with 2008?  Or for all intents and purposes is there no difference?  I can see running up to 6 instances at the same time but as my budget is small I am looking at a used entry level setup.  I need more

Will auto update trigger at any random time during the day while MT4 is running, or only on startup

So I'm going to re-install later today unless someone has seen this and has a simple solution but here is the history I run up to 7 installations of MT4 side by side on the same computer. I usually have 5 running simultaneously. When the new build of

Looking for a little guidance here. Hopefully just a simple Q&A I need multiple instances of MT4 running simultaneously for testing and development of differing EA's. My original install was to the standard program files directory. That

Hi, I can insert the arrow fine in the M1 EUR/USD in which the EA runs. I run the ea to generate a .HST file containing the ticks and show that information in an offline chart. When I tell it to show the arrow object in the current window it shows

Hi, I am new to MQL4 but have been coding and playing with EA's for the last six weeks. I am trying to view a chart of the TICKS in the eur/usd as they appear and play with that data. I am new enough to not know if there is an easy way to do that. I
