I previously recommended VPSLand in this post, now I have cancelled my account after they jacked up the price 200% and changed the server IP, both without warning. Take my advice and steer well clear of VPSLand.

Reliable MT4 VPS?

@broketrader: You said "First, there is the UAC that helps avoiding being forced as you said to update the software. " Well the UAC won't help if you're running an EA on a VPS and the machine reboots, loads MT4 and you're not around to say "no" to ...

MT4 build 830

@broketrader Thanks for the help, it works. @JensG If I wanted to cast everything I'd code my EA in C++ :-) I've looked for alternatives to MQL4/5 but there aren't any with wide support, can you recommend anything?

MT4 build 830

@jjhh: I highly suspect that people promoting the benefit of this course are employees of proforexcourse. Take docotor2 for example. My last post on this thread was Oct 13 2013 and docotor2 joined this forum in Nov 2013 and has one post. Ok it's not ...

Thanks for the tip, but I figured out the problem - in the old Metaeditor you had to press F5 to compile. In the new one this still works but it compiles and launches the EA. If you just want to compile without launching you have to use F7.

MT4 New build 600 is released

I've just had the pleasure of my MT installation upgrading to build 600 without having the decency to request permission, then spent an hour or so fixing errors in my EAs. This wasn't too bad as I have 25,000 lines of code and expected it to take ...

MT4 New build 600 is released

No, let's dispense with the basics, I think it's pretty obvious by now which one of us needs a lesson. It makes no difference where the martingale system came from, that's completely irrelevant. Like I said, a martingale system is any that requires ...

Clearly it is you VTtrader that has no understanding, the fact that you mention "doubling" indicates this. I did not state that proforexcourse features exponential expansion (e.g. doubling) of the trade size. I said a martingale is any system that ...

@Miller180 I clearly stated "I can confirm that it definitely is" (referring to it being a martingale). They key word there being "definitely", not "I think it is" or "I believe it is". Obviously I have read the manual otherwise I wouldn't know with ...

It is a martingale and there's a fundamental difference between a martingale and Jesse Livermore's technique of averaging up, or adding to profitable positions (pyramiding). In any case, given that Livermore went bust several times I don't think ...

Proforexcourse.com

Update: despite the many online "reviews" of proforexcourse.com claiming it isn't a martingale, I can confirm that it definitely is. For anyone who doesn't know what a martingale is and whether it's a viable trading strategy, just Google "Nick ...

@VTtrader: Thanks for your input! You said the proforexcourse strategy is different, want to give me some hints? :-) An alternative to the strategy I outlined is to partially close the previous order at 10 pips profit (close 50%) and then open the ...

Before I spend $2.5k can someone who knows the strategy please confirm whether or not it's what I think it is: 1) Wait for news event to ensure high probability of a strong move. 2) Place pending orders above and below current price (long above, ...

Thank you for your input, but I was simply demonstrating a principle, not suggesting that both trades are identical in every way but only in terms of risk exposure to price action, nothing else. People who trade GBPUSD and USDCHF rather than GBPCHF ...

GBPUSD/USDCHF vs GBPCHF

Thank you for your advice, but I'm fully versed in everything from assembly to C++ (I put MQL somewhere in the middle) and I know what I'm doing in that regard. I've looked at the code in the script and I know exactly what it does. My post clearly ...
