You also forgot to mention backtesting. Backtesting in visual mode is the programmer's way of "debugging". It can help you understand what's going on with your program and how it reacts in situations. You'll need to find charts that simulate easy ...

Self Assessing EA

What you choose will ultimately be up to you. It sounds like you have a programming background, so put down the MQL language reference and start focusing on technical analysis instead. That will help you understand what the indicators tell you ...

Self Assessing EA

Interesting assessment. But to be fair, I'm going to take advice from a poster with 16 posts with a grain of salt Do you do backtesting?

Really simple trading

You have got to be kidding me - how are you not closing this! GET OUT NOW!

AUD/USD Pls help me get out of this hedging MESS !!!

Just read through the code and find the OrderSend calls. You should be able to mimic that. Also spend more time on the MQL site and that will help you understand what the code is actually doing.

Need a EA

If you want to type up your rules in a more formal way (entry, exit, stop loss, etc) I can write the EA for it and back test. It's a little short-sighted to put your faith in a system with no back testing.

Did you verify your SMTP settings within MT? It' s possible that your code is just fine, but the EA relies on you designating an SMTP, user name, pw, etc within the settings. Otherwise, it will not send out the email.

What does this look like on the account side? Who do you have an account with on MT4? Does FXSpyder require an account? Obviously, you have an Oanda account . . .

Oanda with MT4 over FXSpyder - it works :-)

This is the timeline that I've developed as a result of all the reading I've done on FF: url You can cut down on some of this time if you have an EA and can back-test it. In that case, the three months of play-money trading can be cut down.

When do the results of demo trading become reliable ?

EA = Expert Advisor If you use Meta Trader 4, it comes with a programming language (MQL) that you can use to program your Expert Advisor. You give it a chart, the conditions to look for (i.e. your trading rules) and then it will automatically place ...

which are some helpful steps I should take before getting started?

Have you done any backtesting on this system? It certainly sounds like you've thought it through, but any system can make money for a short period. I'd like to know how it does in other (longer term) scenarios.

Doesnt the Euro coin contain a picture of wheat (fiber) on it? I thought the name was similar to CAD with the Loonie on the coins.

Why Is EUR/USD Called "Fiber"?

I don't think so. Although, you could certainly put your profits back into the IRA as your Forex account grows.

True Noobie Question

I like your theory on this. I've thought about this too. Stochs & RSI are purely based on "too much" or "too little" - it might just be the most straightforward way to trade-the-trend. One day I will program an EA that uses nothing but Stochs and RSI

Does this EA exist?

Roughly speaking, you would have to create a loop function that runs through all of the bars on the chart, determine if your criteria applies and then draw the arrows as needed. That would be the most straightforward way to do it and you'd want to ...
