Why did she write strange things about trading in "New York Minutes Timeframes" then (as opposed to international standard minutes or Alpha-Centauri-4-Minutes which may last 142 seconds or what?), instead of just writing "swaps could make a ...

My "nice algebra" addresses all 3 possible cases, equal size (long - flat - long), smaller counter trade (long - smaller_long - long) and bigger counter trade (long - short - long) i have pointed out the error in your two pictures, they are not the ...

The pictures show 2 different scenarios. in the mt5 example you completely reverse the trade (close and open opposite), in the mt4 example you only compensate the buy with a same size sell which results in a net position of zero during the counter ...

Which position did i miss? please reference the exact parts of my posting and show me the error! And using variables with names instead of meaningless numbers that don't tell you where they come from is far easier to understand.

It is the same. Try to prove post #218 wrong! And do it formally, not by confusing your readers and yourself by bombarding them with misinterpretations of unclear and misunderstood terminology. You want to be a mathematician, so prove your point ...

Thats exactly what i proposed. A full blown order tracking system that will translate it's state forth and back into the flat MT5 position system by scaling in and out as needed and the ability to associate mt5 stand-alone limit and stop orders with ...

What tools are missing that a language for DLLs like C or Pascal has and mql has not? mql5 is Turing complete, so what is still missing? What tools do you need for maintaining a list of trades that are not included in mql5? We have arrays to hold ...

This is not true! you can scale out and in again just the amount you need for your counter trend trade and by doing so you pay only the spread for the counter trend trade. If you don't understand this simple math then you shouldn't mess around with ...

Didn't you read my posting? Thats why i suggested to write an abstraction that will emulate the old behavior, maintain it's own list of trades and orders, creates it's own ticket numbers and error numbers and everything, let the EA open as many ...

Why shouldn't this be possible? Just make an include file and in there you define all the Order*() functions and constants and give them the needed functionality. If the old names are already re-used by other MT5 functions then slightly change the ...

This can be solved by a simple abstraction layer, a simple include file, that will solve this problem once and for all, provide the old trading API with hedging and everything, manage and track individual (virtual) trades with their magic numbers, ...

The way i would solve this problem is to have scripts bound to hotkeys. You have no visible button for the mouse to click but you can consider a key on the keaboard as a 'button' too because from an ergonomic and UI-design perspective it is the ...

The way you are doing this is completely OK. This is the way such things are usually done, you are basically putting the same TYPE of data into the same table and giving each row a key to which group it belongs. Intuitively you did the right thing, ...
