Your local time zone -- that is, the time zone of your MT4 session -- is irrelevant. You could be on the moon. The time zone of your broker's server is what is most important since it is the one that sends tick data. Each tick has a time stamp and ...

My "Ultron" EA for GBPUSD H1 timeframe

Well -- I hope you have a comfortable chair because you might have to wait awhile. Mr. Cashboa recently unsubscribed from this thread.

Interesting -- I'll buy that. Thanks for your answer... I don't have your extensive knowledge or experience with brokers -- I'm relatively new to Forex and as a US client struggle with brokers. But I hear what you are saying and will take it to ...

@VEEFX -- Thanks for the explanation... In the end, do you think all brokers stack MT4 against the retail trader or it depends on the broker? Do you think brokers can configure their data stream differently for different accounts? In other words, at ...

Okay -- perhaps my comments were too harsh -- I apologize. Regarding network connectivity -- why didn't you test this first before implementing such a complex system? If your solution was going to bombard the broker's server then why not first ...

Very interesting and helpful to know. This gives me some new ideas. Thanks...

Holy smokes -- are you saying you can use custom events to communicate between charts -- sort of like WM_COPY messages (if you are familiar with old Win32 programming)? That is way too cool. Thank you, Nicholishen.

calling scripts from indicator

I know I shouldn't -- but the devil in me can't resist responding to some of this crappola... You mean, of course, a virus. That's the way viruses work. It's also the way DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) and other malicious attacks work. I'm not ...

@JensItzig -- I think you are right. *.ex4 files built from version 600+ onward are not as readily decompiled. My apologies...

EX4 protection

For people who trade using the MT4/MT5 platform, *.ex4 is the compiled format for indicators and EAs. If you want to share your work with others, then you can make it available either here (on FF) or at mql5.com. Just like with Windows, MacOS, ...

Because you claimed that brokers can decompile any exe... Your words: "Your BROKER (not metaquotes) can decompile any exe on the fly and reverse-engineer your algo within hours" Where do you think your broker lives? Your broker exists on some server ...

No -- not really a lot of work. But since you've already mentioned that 20 other programmers said it couldn't be done, then you automatically set a high price. Just to be clear -- I'm not serious about the $10K. @Macedamia -- I see you've been a ...

If you send $10K I will change the TP in your EA -- you can send the *.ex4 and I will provide wire transfer instructions. It's easier with the *.mq4 source code -- but the EA can also be modified if you only have the *.ex4.

EX4 protection

@VEEFX -- Sorry, but that statement is definitely not true. Your *.ex4 does not get uploaded to some server in the sky where a broker can fiddle with it or decompile it. Your *.ex4 -- just like your *.exe Windows programs -- runs and executes on ...

What are you talking about? Proof? There are many decompilers to choose from -- give one a try and see for yourself. Look it -- MT4 is a GUI app that uses the Internet to send price data to your computer. To build an executable file -- whether a ...

It would take a little less time than it took me to write this sentence. Try Googling "decode ex4" -- you'll see many listings for decompilers. A decompiled file is not exactly like the original source -- but enough of the original code and APIs ...

@syndicat -- you are wrong !!! The OrderSend() and OrderModify() APIs take several parameters -- including values for SL and TP. A value of '0' means 'no StopLoss' or 'no TakeProfit'. It does NOT mean the next tick will cause a SL or TP to be ...

Regarding CashBoa's 4000% return ULTREX EA... Are you guys good at math? Do you have any idea what it means when someone claims a 4000% return? Let's do some simple arithmetic. Suppose you have a modest, $1000 account with your favorite broker. At ...

@philstodd -- thanks for your tips -- good insights... I agree with the above statement -- and I had a question. Couldn't this be addressed by using appropriate SL and TP? Don't take me literally, but as an example: SL=500 points, TP=500 points for ...
