My vps is the standard "value" version offered by Commercial Network Services with added RAM. I got it myself in 2009 and have had a very good experience with them in terms of uptime and customer service. However, the broker I use, IC Markets, would ...

MT4 Processor Drawdown

never2old, Could you share one chart as a template (tpl) file? I am running the same EA on 20+ charts on the same MT4 instance on a vps with less than 1GB of RAM and meager processing specs so your computer is unlikely to be the issue. Especially ...

MT4 Processor Drawdown

Unless you need a lot of history to calculate you indi's, changing the number of bars that are kept in history and displayed on the chart can make a difference. For charts that have EAs that are running live, I typically set the number of bars on ...

MT4 Processor Drawdown

ra457, I put together a quick sample EA that you hopefully can build on. Take a look at the code and get back to me if something doesn't make sense. Currently the EA is set to send a limit order based on the provided buy and sell currencies. So it ...

Need MQ4 examples of logic that chooses the pair to trade

hukam, The indicator should be added to a chart like any other indicator. It "should" show a sorted list of all available currency pairs for the broker and the current spread in pips for each pair in a second column. I downloaded the version I ...

PipMeUp, I have to agree with hanover. I have done a fair bit of position sizing simulation, including Kelly, but your posts added another dimension to it. Thanks a lot for taking the time to explain in such detail. Great reads for a numbers guy ...

Does the martingale system really work?

That analogy does not apply to forex if you use the right broker. In forex, even with a small account you should be able to get at least the same prices as with a really large account. Actually, with a small account you could actually get better ...

Is Forex reliable?

I feel like I am arguing with someone who claims the earth is flat. Not only are we not on the same page, we are not even in the same book.

Is Forex reliable?

ra457, Not sure if it helps but I have attached an indicator that simply lists all available pairs and the spread for each. It uses the code I described in the previous post. Please let me know if something needs further clarification. Aim

David, I am pretty sure MapleLeaf is indeed bluffing or, if not, included the $3,000 EVERY month as the deterrent to avoid being taken up on his BS challenge. I would also never participate unless both parties put the required $36,000 in escrow with ...

Is Forex reliable?

If I want to create a list of all the available pairs from my broker, I use the code below. If you have identified the currencies as AUD and USD, it should be pretty simple to search the asAvailableSymbols array for the string that contains both AUD ...

Need help with arrays and arraysort

I believe hanover wrote it, at least it is part of his "hanover --- extensible functions (np).mqh" which can be found in the thread below url Highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already since it is, as per usual when it comes to stuff ...

With this "clarification" your original statement makes even less sense. If you earn 1% per day, with 252 (approximately) trading days in a year, that would equal an annualized return of 1127%. Do that for three years (assuming no taxes) and your ...

Is Forex reliable?

yinyang, Trading is (and has been for the last 12 years) my day job albeit not in forex. I merely dabble in forex (relatively speaking) and I do think that getting an edge in forex is harder than e.g. stocks/options but it doesn't mean it is not ...

Is Forex reliable?

MapleLeaf, The bet that I have to make $3,000 EVERY month, I would never take since by simple randomness, almost any strategy with a long term positive edge is likely to have negative months, unless it has a very high frequency of trades or a very ...

Is Forex reliable?

MaxDoom, Your first answer did IMO imply I knew virtually nothing and was asking a "stupid" question i.e being an idiot. The fact that is was a result of you misunderstanding my question didn't help. I see it so often that I am pretty annoyed about ...

Evaluate string expression in MQL4

nubcake, I personally don't get any gratification at all from putting other people down, even if they do indeed show a complete lack of understanding even their own question. Either I respond reasonably politely or I don't respond at all. That is ...

Evaluate string expression in MQL4

Wow, 7 replies without me even participating and true to general form here on FF and other forums, the first reply assumed the thread starter is an idiot. Since Eval/Evaluate exists in several other programming languages ( url ), I though it was ...

Evaluate string expression in MQL4

Since you have declared ADR as an external variable (outside the start() function) it will retain its value each time the start() function runs, which is every tick. So on the first tick, ADR starts with a value of 30. When start() is run, ADR is ...
