Sure thing. Just be sure to create a new bottle for each additional install of MT4. Yep, it can be a pain having multiple bottles, but, for whatever reason it is not recommended by Codeweavers to install multiple unsupported apps in the same bottle. ...

First, when you installed MT4 did you do it by double-clicking on the installer app within the Mac Finder? Or, did you install by selecting the "Install Unsupported Software" button from within Crossover (Configuration/Install Software...)? While my ...

Hi Philfx: Thanks for contributing. Yes, I've noticed this issue with Strategy Tester as well. I'm not aware of a workaround. The FXT files created in /Tester/History/ represent the date range of data downloaded and existing on the charts. So, at ...

Press F2 and then you can edit text-based input params. HOWEVER, you CAN'T edit non-text-based inputs such as color, line style/width, etc. This is bothersome. I just simply change them within MetaEditor and save as a new custom indy. I queried the ...

Are you absolutely positive you copied the correct files over to the correct location (e.g. correct bottle and correct location within the bottle)? This is critically important. If all the files are in the correct location, it should work without ...

You don't install MT4 in CrossOver via double-clicking on mt4setup.exe. That's not how you install non-supported apps in CrossOver. Check the CrossOver docs. You simply need to go to Install menu then click the Install Unsupported Software button. ...

Thanks for sharing, but, these contributions aren't related to the mechanical system this thread is about (other than you're using a feature of the DeMark indicator not used in the mechanical system). Maybe start up a new thread so as to not have ...

Forget it... By applying protective stop losses and some other tricks, I was able to improve the performance in some months which would have been losers. That's in 2007... Going back to 2006, different story. March 2006 yields a -591 pip loss. I ...

See attached chart for example of where 100 pips is let go in favor of a loss of 87 pipts.
