Hi, I see a potential for getting higher optimizing speed...Running MT4 optimizer I've never seen more than 14% CPU usage. Inside the box is XP running on a i7-950 @ 3G, so this is a pretty powerful PC, 3G RAM. I see almost no HDD activity so RAM and

Hi, I need to point out the first long order that occurs after a pause of no open long orders (this EA trades multiple orders in the same direction). The code below tries to find this order, and put a marker on it (for debugging) . The EA places its

Hi, With market orders on ECNs there no point in specifying slippage on OrderSend (its ignored). OrderModify has no Slippage parameter (as it would be pointless). So the only place to use Slippage is on OrderClose... Or is Slippage ignored here too

Error1 means: "No error returned, but the result is unknown." Typically one gets this if one makes a change and change nothing... eg doing an OrderModify without changing any of the params. I get many of those from this function , but cant

When backtesting, open chart, and hovering the cursor over the SL or TP symbols the little datawindow shows different data almost every time the cursor touches the symbol. See these screencaptures

Hi, Can you give some advice here... The preliminary goal is to extract pairs of ticketnumber & orderprofit from history, and copy them to multidimensional array for sorting ascending by ticket. This I think is the most reliable way to 'get hold

Hi guys, On testing the newest EA I see some strange things, e.g closing order inside StopLevel zone with profit and without getting an error in the Jourlal. This should not happend IMHO. Any reason why I can e.g close sell at 10 points below

Hi, I need to add or subtract a given amount of time to a given time and date. Lets say we have the given time of Jul 17 2011 22:30 and I want to add 05:00 (5 hrs) to that datetime, giving Jul 18 2011 03:30 How to do this in a simple way? Dealing

How to calculate the cost in dollars of entering with 1 lot at given price ( EntryPrice ) with given StopLoss price ( SLprice ) ? double RiskPoints = MathAbs (SLprice - EntryPrice) + MathAbs ((Ask - Bid)); //The number of points we risk to loose

Hi, Is there a way to programatically select a H-line just after it has been created, so that it can be moved with mouse without having to doubleclick it first

Hi, does anyone have an indicator or EA that can read the tradehistory and visualize it on the chart, like the B/S symbols we get when backtesting

Hi, Anyone have some good advice on this problem ? I've made several "good" EAs and they work well on BackTest , actually nearly any piece of cr*p can be optimized for good results when backtested on the same piece of history as the

Hi, This post doesn't really have much to do with mql4, but here it goes anyway: I've spent a month developing the latest EA, and this puppy does seem to have some potential... I get roughly the same result testing with Ticks and ControlPoints, and

Hi, Is there somewhere to get the actual real account pricedata for a specific broker/account type, for offline backtesting? My recent EURUSD 'superscalper' turns 500 into 2Mill in a year on Alpari demo, using the standard history data. Problem is

Hi, Does this look right to you? I'm thinking mostly on the price & stoplevel calculations. This code seems to work ok but 'variations' work even better... Does the check on OpenPrice look ok ? I have assumed that the final stops should be

Hi, I'm in the process of improving every little aspect of my new scalper, everything helps, sometimes a lot, and now I want to avoid entering around news and preferably get out of the market at these times. This EA is like most other EAs, running

Hi, I have several very good scalping systems, but not surprizingly they're only good when spread is (very) low. I'd like to optimize / adjust these under 'adverse' spread conditions in the hope that they will then work well, and work even better

Hi, I have 3 terminals (V225) running on one PC, all are installed in different root directories. Two of them will create statements, but one will not. The html file is nowhere to be found and I don't think its even created. This terminal is the only

Hi, I use this code to send a limit order (for some unknown reason I have to use a stop order to get it to work as I expected a limit order would do, dunno why....). But the problem is that even though I've hardwired Type=4 it sends one stop order

OrderSelect(OrdersTotal()-1, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);// Does this point to the last placed (or 2nd last) active order, or to the first or what
