The code in the first post is somewhat obsolete, it was the first prototype implemented in pure mql4 but it is extremely slow, almost unusable. #67 contains the same thing implemented in Pascal, so the pattern search can run as optimized machine ...

This is BS. At the WIFI layer it is not known how many TCP connections you have, this physical layer is completely ignorant to this abstract high-level information, just as ignorant as piece of copper wire. You didn't talk to the tech support. With ...

Unable to View MetaTrader Folder Content

You can simply install MT4 in a folder inside the user profile and NOT in program files. Then all problems are gone. MT4 is simply not meant for any newer windows versions, the Metaquotes programmers have missed the last 15 years, they still do it ...

Look also at usdchf H4 and D1 (this has always given me useful hints when eurusd was unclear to analyze) there is an even nicer H&S (complex H&S) and USDCHF on the higher timeframes looks really short to me at the moment. I would not be surprised to ...

No. DNS has nothing to do with the delay of already established connections. And if you want a reliable and fast DNS server then you can always just install one yourself.

Faster DNS connection

I have paused it for the weekend 1 hour before NY close. Looks like this was a bit too early, it went further up afterwards. I'm thinking about continuing into long direction and even moving up my target another time when market opens again, at ...

Trading the anti-grid with the snowball EA

There is a new version: 2010.6.11.1 if you want to compile yourself you also need newest versions of offline_charts.mq4 and common_functions.mq4, i have fixed bugs in both of these files. Also the previous version of snowball did not contain the ...

Snowballs and the anti-grid

Not yet. I have done some tests with varying grid spacing on the same historical data and it seems the influence is minimal. I did not find a clear optimum only a slight decrease of profit factor (probably due to spread) with smaller grids.

Snowballs and the anti-grid

If you install the latest version then you will be able to draw lines into the chart and write into the description field of the line the command stop or pause to either stop the entire cycle or to pause (close trades but remember the level and the ...

Snowballs and the anti-grid

wheelbarrow, did you even *read* my previous answer to you? I will repeat it again: the stoplosses are expected to lie exactly on the grid of stop_distance. The robot will use the stoplosses to calculate many things throughout the whole code and one ...

I moved the target to 1.22222, this is a nice round number :-) image

Trading the anti-grid with the snowball EA

You should not care about the number at all. Always use the named constants. Don't use such things like if (type < 2){ } Named constants have a name because the actual value does not matter. Always do it like if (type == OP_BUY || type == OP_SELL){ ...

Nice eurusd movements today :-)

Trading the anti-grid with the snowball EA

+1 from me for this solution. Everything else would probably be more complicated than the EA itself. The EA could place an unobtrusive small text label in with the notification in one of the corners of the chart. This would be unobtrusive and would ...

Self-updating code?

I play it quite aggressively, the lot sizes compared to my account balance and with it the possible drawdown per cycle would be considered far too high by many people. The account is still relatively small and I want to reach a significant amount of ...

Trading the anti-grid with the snowball EA

You should have read the instructions more carefully, this is not a fully autonomous EA, its semi-automatic, it needs your explicit start and stop commands. Its behaving exactly as it should. These three labels at the upper right are "buttons". To ...

Could you please describe the problems in some more detail? What exactly did you do, what did you expect to happen and what did happen instead? Error messages? (I don't have a magic crystal ball)
