I just uploaded new versions ofpatternmatcher.mq4 patterndesigner.mq4 patternmatcher.common.mqh to the first posting in this thread. I changed the algorithm how the pattern is scaled into the rectangle of prices and at the same time removed all ...

pattern matching

I'm currently thinking about renaming the EA to patterntrader and writing a third EA (patternscanner) that would permanently scan a list of symbols with a wide scan range that covers all timeframes from M1 up to D1 and alert on each pattern that it ...

pattern matching

Looks already better than 95% of all other EAs on all the forums. I would be interested in the details of this strategy.

Surprising results from my new EA...

Reading such childish alphabet soup in a serious programming forum for grown-ups makes my eyes and my brain hurt.

Help to convert an Indicator to an EA.

How much did you lose?

Stop fooling yourself; There is no system

Then i have no idea. "buy instead of sell" makes no sense and i have never seen this in any log file. Why would it want to buy if you tell it to sell instead? Maybe there is some non-hedging limitation in place and it is trying to combine two ...

EA problem "sell (instead of buy)"

The "Experts" Tab shows the output of the Print() command, it is not an official log of things that happened, its a log of outputs that the Programmer wanted the EA to print out during operation. It reflects the internal things that go on inside ...

EA problem "sell (instead of buy)"

The easiest way would be to write a function OrderSendEx() that will accept the same parameters as OrderSend() and will internally call OrderSend() without SL and TP and then in the next step add them with OrderModify() if they are non zero. After ...

For coders - How to make this ea work on ECN brokers?

The reason i suggested the whitespace after for, while, if is their nature as a reserved word (like an operator is also a reserved symbol) and the braces are just surrounding an expression just like in while (x * (a + c)) as opposed to a function ...

Equity curve — ematrader, please include the equity recorder library from here: url into the EA and then produce a proper equity chart and post it here. Your Balance-Curves are meaningless, we need to see the total equity instead which is ...

First look at Ematrader's latest EA
