When I re-open a saved optimization cache file, the optimized parameters always appear in the table initially but sometimes, later after re-opening they have disappeared. The data is still in the cache file somewhere because when I double-click one

Can't seem to find an example anywhere. For example, I'd like to have the RSI indicator with a moving average on top of it. Any oscillator is fine, once I have an example I can adapt it to my own needs. Thanks

I was wondering how much of a performance hit there was. I'm assuming there are no issues utilising all cores

I understand that the demo account broker sets the commissions so that when you backtest they are locked in. Is there a way get around this? Are there any brokers that allow you to set zero commission for a backtest? Thanks

Tried setting up   multiple currency pairs   for trading from   within   in the expert for the first time. Everything seemed fine, with trades from every pair showing up in the backtest report on MT5. However, just for the hell of

I notice that even after backtesting the same instruments frequently, MT5 seems to spend a lot of time downloading data. Does MT5 download the same data with each test? This wouldn't seem to be very inefficient

Controlling process priority during optimization When all cores are used during optimization, the system gets very sluggish. Does anyone know a way to set process priority lower without having to go into task manager every time? Some app that runs

If you're testing a system that takes both long and short positions, you are faced with the problem that the optimizer will test non-paired inputs for short and long trades. For example if I was trying to test SMA 20 through 60 with step 20, the

I'd like to backtest a strategy but not sure where to get the data. Also, I don't know if this is available as continuous 'cash' or 'spot' data. I've never tried to backtest data that comes in expiring contracts. I suppose backtesting could just be

I created a series of charts in Metatrader 4 to follow the instruments I trade. Strangely, some of them work fine but others never update unless you hit refresh and also if you try to change the timeframe, it won't change. They are stuck in one

I have to enter this into the metatester agent in order to sell computing time

Just a beginner... Would this be the most efficient way of displaying the value of a variable on a chart in a script or expert? Note I don't want to use Comment() because font is too small. If there is a more efficient way, please describe. Thanks

I recently began learning MQL4 in order to automate a trading strategy I have been performing manually for some time. However, as I have learned more about the MetaTrader platform and the language it has become apparent that my strategy may not be
