You have set it to a proportional font. This is causing the problems. By default it will try to use Courier New, maybe you somehow managed to remove this font from your system. There is a setting in MetaEditor for the font with only a few choices ...

Meta-editor messed up

"stops woking" is quite vague. What is the error code? Most probably there is a name mangling problem. Some compilers append funny things to the exported function names to encode additional information about how to call the function. You can either ...

DLL implementation problem

This has no impact, the import is defined with three doubles and so it will always pass three doubles to the dll, no matter where they come from. The typecast is happening on the mql4 side already, the call will always be made exactly as specified ...

DLL implementation problem

You should not run it as admin, this can create all kinds of other and even seemingly unrelated problems. Instead you should just install MT4 into a different folder (a folder in which the user has full permissions) and run it as a normal user. ...

MT4 on Win 7 - Cannot save detailed report?

Don't ask such heretical questions... With my current lot sizing everything below 4 SD won't make me nervous. I have not decided about an exact level yet but once I start feeling uncomfortable about a trade (which means I can't find any ...

96 pips is the move of one pair against the other (for example NZDUSD not moving at all and USDCAD going up 96 pips), so it is roughly 10$/pip * 100pip. edit: sorry, it should be 0.8 * 10$/pip * 96pip, so its only around 800$ edit2: and when running ...

Its not the fault of vista, its the fault of MetaQuotes for using the wrong folders to save its data. Vista is not to blame here. The folder layout that is now exclusively used and enforced in Vista has been publicly announced and promoted and ...

Missing Object List

There is a way. All currently opened charts are saved in the profiles/default folder (or whichever other profile you are using). Make a backup of this folder and restore it. You can also open these files in notepad and see an <object> entry for each ...

Missing Object List

By setting diff=false there is no trend by definition. I am always long below 0 and always short above 0. USDCAD vs. NZDUSD seems to have very stable coefficients, its one of the nicest two-pair hedges in my opinion. I have started trading it last ...

Synthetic hedges, cointegration, mean reversion and similar stuff

The target is 0.5 stddev, curently it is at level 4, which means it is long 800 units, when it goes up again it will sell (close the buy) 200 units on every crossing of a level, the last portion will then be closed when it crosses zero. An ...

This one looks interesting (the lines are 0.5 stddev, I just started running a grid strategy on it (buy on each level when it goes down, sell on each level when it goes up), wish me luck): image

No! The correct solution to the problem is not to run it as administrator but instead change the permissions of the entire metatrader folder so that the user has full read/write access. Alternatively (preferred) when installing MetaTrader, don't ...

MT4 navigational tips and techniques

There is no connection, this must be a joke. The port number is dictated by the server at the broker and if you are not allowed to open an outgoing connection to this port then you cannot access it, plain and simple. A proxy server or a vpn that ...

MT4 navigational tips and techniques

After the regression the coefficients are multiplied by a certain factor to get lot sizes for dollar based lots. These factors are determined by the name of the instrument, it only works when there is "USD" in the name and it depends on whether it ...

if the above is true then you should leave them constant (and slowly adjust to the account size every few months). There would be no need for martingale or antimartingale if you have a profitable strategy.

Is it better to increase lot size after win or after loss?

If you cannot follow the abstract levels of my thinking then I can understand this, not many people can follow it, but this does not give you the right to insult me by calling my thinking "half-educated" only because you can't (and don't even want ...

Your constant insults (which prove that your manners are non-existent) won't help you prove your point or increase your credibility. Goodbye

who has series of random generated price data?

You invaded this thread with the bold claim that one could trade a random walk. Extraordinary claims like this need extraordinary proof. Instead you come up with the "volatility pumping" example which has nothing to do with trading random walks at ...

who has series of random generated price data?

Yes you are. Obviously. Otherwise you would understand my arguments and would be able to come up with a meaningful reply instead of insults. I won't continue my posting here in this thread for today to give you some time to think about it, maybe you ...

who has series of random generated price data?

I'm sorry to inform you that you did not understand the "volatility pumping" strategy, it is not trading random walks. And the spread sheet is wrong as the other poster already explained (and you already admitted (the log problem and not trading a ...
