Demo is great for testing eas and scripts, even if it's just for debugging. Anyone who has ever made an ea knows that there will always be bugs. About the exercise analogy in the first post: I remember reading some research when I was in uni that ...

I tried running this on a vps and I find it tricky to run more then 2 currencies at the same time. I also struggle to download more history into mt4 because of restricted resources. So I guess it depends on how much money you want to throw at a vps. ...

I've had the same before due to a small gap in my historical data. It may be worth checking if your data history doesn't have any gaps.

I had a similar issue with the MPTM, in that it was closing all sell orders right away. I worked around it by setting a fixed SL when dragging an ea on a chart (this solution was suggested by someone else in this thread, so all credit to him/her).

That's 3pm/3am Central European Time, which is what I'm on. I can do 3PM depending on the format. Will you use chat or some form of voice communication, the latter will be a hard sell for me at work Also, will this be recorded for those who ...

Thanks, I was wondering why I was getting kicked out of trades. Does it solve the problem if we assign a value to HiddenStopLossPips? edit: Or should we assign a sl to the ea which is entering the trade?

If you press F2 you check how much history you have on this pair. If this is less then the number of bars you want to optimize then you need to download or import more data. RR has posted a link somewhere in this thread with a free source of ...

I can also imagine that some pairs are more unpredictible then others so a point could be made for a quest to find the most suitable pairs or different settings for different pairs. This is where the intensive use of resources come in for me. I run ...

I'm interested in the webinar too, depending on timing obviously. I had some issues with my broker too, it turned out that I only had past data for about 2 weeks, so even with the link RR provided I still had a 2-3 week gap in my data. I fixed it by ...

can someone confirm that the mptm's work with 4 digits and don't need any readjustment for a 5 digit broker. So if I want ie. 100 points trailing stop on my 5 digit broker I put 10 in the ea? Reason I ask is that some of my trades have moved back ...

if you know these other languages you'll pick this one up quickly too. Best place to start is mql4.com. The main challenge is to get an idea and program it before Steve Hopwood does. By the time I start to think about it he's already programmed it ...

I got a mail from my vps saying that my platform may run slow or freeze because one of my ea's "must have gone mad", could I please remove it.... So I turned the ea off on 2 charts, out of 4 and now they're happy again. Ron, I've been looking into ...
