I started learning C programming in 2010. From there I picked up many languages.
I have worked with MQL for just a year now. I pick up programming languages very quickly because I'm no stranger to programming.
I'm working on several indicator projects and EA concepts.

I'm currently studying epistemological degeneracy in financial markets.

I just found out that a huge amount of disk space was being used up at:

AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\[Terminal address]\bases\[broker name]\history

AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\Terminal\[Terminal address]\bases\[broker name]\ticks

I deleted all of that trash, especially on demo accounts, I didn't need the history

The original zigzag indicator is actually very good only that it has problems that would cause most people to shun it. Problems: It's unknown when the leg has finished its cycle, and leg can keep extending (repaint). Entry signals are not timely. Current market direction is left to be unknown.

I made a few different solutions which tackle all of these issues. The original code from metaquotes was not bad at all, very good in fact, it just needed something extra to mark the completion of the leg. Another code I have is more simplified and does not draw "growing" legs, once a leg is drawn it will be final immediately - shortcoming of this is that it can be more receptive to small noisy market movements.

this "Fractal Chaos Oscillator" seems very good, it gives very reliable sniper entries and compliments other indicators

When you close a buy position you're performing a sell deal. When you close a sell position you perform a buy deal. It depends on what position you're placing (short or long). Risk on buy trade: choose buy position type and it's the custom distance of stop loss to the ask price...reward on buy trade: choose sell position type and is the custom distance of the stop loss to the bid price above the trade entry. Then the opposite is done for RR on sell trades.

It's not a tool for setting anything, only for calculating monetary values. There is another risk to reward box published by someone else in the codebase.

This is a simple tool to display the maximum lot size permitted for any asset based on the size of your account (or more accurately the free margin), and the leverage.  It will display the max lot size allowed, and then the script will naturally exit after 3 seconds which gives you enough time to see the information. When you have an active position, it will calculate the maximum number of lots that are left while a position of a certain lot size is already running. Before the script

Added topic Moving the attached indicators from one chart to another
Hi, I'm just asking in case there's something I wasn't aware of. If I want to move my current attached indicators from one chart to a different chart (on a different symbol) - how do I do it? Is the solution to save a template, and then load that

small (unfortunate) history goes along with this program. There was a plan to make a new interface, but at the time my hard drive crashed and I lost 100% of the code. What I didn't lose was the program. The program was backed up but not the code

if your hard drive stopped working, buy an external hard disk enclosure and try to connect it. if you have not formatted it try using software for recovery such as PC Inspector. Ultimately if nothing works then only option is to forget files or invest $$ for every mb of data recovery by professional data recovery centers

It was a few years ago when it died, I had tried all things, but it had died completely. Nowadays I always check the Speccy program to see hard drive health. But I also use a good quality brand now as well
