You only need it if you need to hook into the loading/unloading etc. Otherwise all it does is to return true (which means "success") and the same empty default function (that just returns success and does nothing else) should be installed ...

BOOL Apientry DllMain

This bug happens only when running an EA in the strategy tester. There it forgets to FreeLibrary() the dll that has been loaded with #import after the strategy test is ended. Each run of the tester will leave the reference count increased by one. It ...

MT4: catch dll import error

You make a wrapper dll (like you did) that wraps every function into a stdcall function or you use mt5/mql5 which can (from what have read 2 years ago¹) directly import cdecl functions. There is no way to use them directly from mql4. ______ ¹ I have ...

Best Way: _cdecl to _stdcall

These are not errors, they are "warnings". Its the stupid compiler which is warning about essentially nothing. Its background noise. Unfortunately there is no way to turn them off (which is slightly annoying). You can safely ignore them.

MQL4 -> R-Project - Interface Library

You need to use the 32 bit compiler (download the 32 bit IDE, it contains the 32 bit compiler), MT4 itself is a 32 bit application and can only load 32 bit dlls. If you used the 64 bit version of Lazarus/FPC it would produce 64bit binaries by ...

It cannot start the RTerm.exe, make sure the path in extern string R_command is correct (the version number changes from time to time), check it very carefully and if R is installed and the path is correct it should work.

q1: yes. Write to the .hst file and then send a fake tick to the opened chart window to update it. should work. q2: the spread is handled somehow differently. To set a diffferent spread for backtesting you have to disconnect MT4 from the internet so ...

MQL4 -> R-Project - Interface Library

This is an interesting idea. The way the dll is designed (a simple flat C-like interface) it should be easy to use it with a lot of other languages that can interface with native DLLs. The structure that is used is the one that is dictated by how a ...

No. 1 Pip is 0.01$/oz, so 7500 Pips are 75$/oz. If he bought at 1885 and now it is down at 1810 then this would be 7500 Pips. And it has nothing to do with how many lots he sold or bought, Pips are price difference, not a particular trader's profit ...

The above sentence still has some inherent bullishness in it (I can read this between the lines). You should neutralize this or you might end up holding an underwater long for 30 or more years.

Its retesting the broken trendline at 1787 and maybe even the 1800 level. A great opportunity to exit losing longs with minimal pain and/or load up more shorts, next target 1700 (100% expansion of descending triangle and previous low). Once we are ...

Descending triangle — The right half of this chart looks like a descending triangle to me. Due to its size it has the potential to send us to 1700, maybe already this week. image

Its nice to hear that at least some people here like my posts In a different time and place I would have said "I wish you luck" but I fear this time we are standing on opposite sides and doing so would not be appropriate. May the better trader ...

I am basically saying that I don't trust the permanent up trend anymore. I know that I am arguing against religious beliefs here but this is my opinion. Be careful. I see a few black swans on the horizon. I might be wrong. But it would be even ...

Thank you. PS: This phase of a bubble is called "denial", but it seems you are a bit early, this phase usually only begins after the first 20% drop does not recover.

#9591 was not a prediction, it was an enumeration of possible scenarios. Go back and read it again. The advice to sell Silver and Gold now for a huge profit cannot harm anybody, nobody has ever gone bankrupt from taking an exorbitant profit. The ...

The fundamental analysts tell me that the Dollar is going to rise much higher because a severe liquidity crisis is unfolding. Silver was already at the top of the channel and is already on its way down. The breakout of last September has exactly ...

The waiting has finally come to an end (and it has not been expensive at all, it was actually quite profitable). From here on just turn your chart upside down and continue trading like before and everything will be fine.

I don't give up. The next one will come. Currently silver looks very promising (on all time frames) but gold should drop too if this happens. (the G/S ratio will break upwards soon, so silver will drop much harder than gold). The dollar is going to ...
