Why can't I see a linear weighted moving average line when I load  the custom moving average indicator? The other three types of simple, EMA and smooth give lines but not the LWMA

I have two versions of the same EA where the only difference is the indicator being called. EAs A and B were both working until I edited the indicator that B calls. Now B gives unmatched errors and doesn't trade but A still runs on the same time

So what am I supposed to do when my Oanda and FXCM live platforms crash my computer. The brokers only have build 825 and it just crashes my computer

I have been developing an EA but after a few backtest runs it now goes really slowly. It runs fast on my other computer with the same broker like it used to do where it runs slow now. It has nothing to do with my EA code and I have cleared all the

My main computer broke so I tried to install mt4 on an older computer running windows XP with SP2 but it won't install it just crashes at the start with a microsoft exception error and "sorry for the inconvenience" window. I thought it

What does the WPR indicator do for a value when the difference between the highest and lowest is zero? Here is the calculation from the indicator. //----Williams’ Percent Range calculation    i = Bars - ExtWPRPeriod - 1 ;    if

Does anybody have an estimate of the volume of data passed between a client or mobile MT4 and the server? I have only found one post relating to this and the answer 3 years ago was measure it yourself. By now I am sure someone has figured this out

I have clicked a 30 pip trailing stop that is actually 3 real pips and it worked but when my trade was 20 real pips in profit I clicked the 130 pips and it never came in even though the trade remained 20 pips or more in profit. If the 30 pips is 3

I wanted to see what the wizard does but can't even find the wizard icon to even get it started. Do I have to download an addon? My version 5 is demo MQ5 build 375

I haven't seen this before so is it something to do with the last upgrade? The EA runs in the back tester without errors but on forward testing it gives " invalid stop error" on every trade and yet I print out the stop and it comes out as

I have had weird results poping up in the profit factor column of the bac tester results. I read that there should be at least 30 trades before results can be calculated correctly but shouldn't the system just leave the table empty rather than put

There has been a critical error Time : 2010.02.18 14:41 Program : Client Terminal Version : 4.00 (build: 225, 10 Jul 2009) OS : Windows XP Professional 5.1 Service Pack 2 (Build 2600) Processors : 1 x X86 (level 15) Memory : 1047024/587696 kb

Has anybody else seen this. This occurs from time to time on many indicators when they are running. It can be straightended out by switching timeframes and returning but why does it happen. This indicator can run for hours then suddenly do this. Any

I just run this back test and the graph looked good so I checked the stats report. Can someone explain what it means. There is a total of 6 trades with 4 short wins and 2 long wins and yet it thinks 50% of shorts won and 50% of longs won. To add to

I wanted to compare broker prices so I used the back tester on 1 minute time scale and dumped the prices to a file for two different brokers. I accounted for the GMT differences and plotted the prices on a chart with minutes on the X axis expecting

I have a custom indicator that places an arrow at the close price when a direction change is imminent. When the indicator is run in the visual mode of the back tester the arrow will appear and go up and down with the close price until the candle

Why does the contents of an array have an affect on the processing time of an indicator when iMAOnArray is used on a half initialised array. If iMAOnArray has the number of elements that are initialised passed as a parameter it works correctly but if

Can anybody see the problem in my indicator. I am sure it is something to do with the limits of the arraysbut I can't see what. When I put the indicator on the chart it is correct but as the ticks come in it goes to pot on the front end. I don't want
