DaveL replied Jun 27, 2008If I understand you correctly, there is still a possible security breach: Someone who's on your subscription list may easily give the account # and password to someone else who is not on the list (along with a copy of the client EA). Indeed, if that ...

DaveL replied Jun 27, 2008Yes, certainly feasible ... Not only do you need to use the desired PERIOD (H1, H4, etc) specifiers in the timeframe parameter of the indicator, but also use the proper bar-shift by using iBarShift. (In MT4, the shift is based on the bar, and the ...

DaveL replied Jun 27, 2008Yes, what you describe is to convert the indicator to MTF (multiple-timeframe). It's rather straightforward, but I'm busy with other stuff right now. If someone else wants to give it a shot, feel free!

DaveL replied Jun 27, 2008What is an account-copier EA? Please elaborate.

DaveL replied Jun 27, 2008Yes, I've written commercial EAs which use DLLs for security purposes, too, including 128-bit encryption. In general, DLLs are much harder to crack than MT4 executables (since .ex4 are compiled only to the level of bytecode, which is way too easy to ...

DaveL replied Jun 27, 2008The only time I've encountered the kind of arrow problem you're describing is when I re-compile the indicator source-code file in MetaEditor while the indicator is still running on a chart. I think sometimes when you re-compile like that, some ...

DaveL replied Jun 27, 2008Once accepted by your broker, the pending order exists on your broker's server (server-side), not on your platform (client-side). So, after successfully submitting the pending order, you can turn off your platform, and the pending order will still ...

DaveL replied Jun 26, 2008By the way, tick-charts or sub-M1 charts are possible to generate in MT4 w/ the proper indicator. Again, search MetaQuote's forum ... there are lots of that over there.
Limitations on backtesting, is this a problem with MT4?
-
DaveL replied Jun 26, 2008Just use the backtester in every-tick mode. Without the add-ons, the ticks are simulated. But follow MetaQuote's forum instructions to make the backtester use real ticks. It will then backtest tick-by-tick w/ real tick action. Do the comparison ...

DaveL replied Jun 26, 2008Yes, totally agree ... but I think that's why some people decompile ... not so much to profit from someone else's work, but to understand the trading logic, so as to make a better decision whether to entrust real money to the EA. Otherwise, the EA ...

DaveL replied Jun 26, 2008I've done the following simple experiment many times: 1. Forward trade EAs on desired timeframes. (I've gone as low as M1, but mostly M15+). 2. After awhile (a week or more), backtest over the exact same time-period. 3. Compare the results. The gosh ...
