Seriously pesky bug!! :(

I've been programming a long time and this is one of the most confusing bugs I've come across. It almost seems like a flaw in MT4 but I know from experience that it's most likely a mistake on my part. Try as I will, though, I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong. The offending indicator

Can I re-program the terminal window?

I'd like to be able to set up the terminal window in MT4 to sort my positions by direction.. ie all the buys listed first and the sells listed second. Alternatively, perhaps there's an indicator that will create this kind of display for me. I'd also like to see the sum equity of the sells listed

Can an EA save to and read from a preset file?

I hope there is a builtin capability to do this, because I would rather not write all the parsing and file management code myself... Thx

Question about Ticket numbers

This is just CRAZY!!!

I haven't been able to reliably login to this forum for over two weeks! I've been very patient about giving the admin a chance to fix the problems, but at this point it's just getting too frustrating. It seems to act differently on just about every computer I try.. on one, it keeps trying to

MasterMartingale v1 --- a multi-strategy EA

Collector v1.00

Here is a new EA I've been working on which functions similarly to Terminator and others in that it using a Martingale-style doubling progression to keep the account in the market until a win can be achieved. The difference is that instead of continuing to trade in one direction when the market goes

How do MT4 EAs handle trade errors?

I've read a lot about re-quotes and failed orders with different brokers, but I'm wondering how these are handled by EAs in MT4... if a price quote is outside the specified slippage will it just keep trying until it gets the price it wants, or will the trade be abandoned? What if the order is

LSMA indicator that shows confluence and divergence

I've been using the LSMA with color indicator to sniff out reversals on the H4 charts, but I find the best signals come when the M30, H1, H4 and D1 timeframes all agree on direction. It gets a bit tiresome switching back and forth between timeframes, and I'd love to see an indicator that would

How do I hedge in MT4?

I've been looking all around in the program menus and the help file but I can't find a way to place a hedging trade. Is this feature simply not provided in MT4
