I am using build 509 and received no prompt to deny the updates, UAC is enabled as is Firewall and my Internet Security. None of them caught the update happening. One folder was even set to Read Only and it was still written. I restored everything ...

MT4 New build 600 is released

Optional??? Since when? I have had several accounts with different brokers update. If I go back to build 509 they update on the next startup or I get no connection errors. I have deleted every live update web update, etc to block but the updates ...

MT4 New build 600 is released

Then why does't Metaquotes allow developers more information about what is coming? I am tired of having to upgrade everything every few months and am now looking into a different platform that is programmable. The people at Metaquotes do not appear ...

MT4 New build 600 is released

Here is what I have for folders on new build from MT4. Check how yours compare. Note that the folder for my laptop is read only. The Next Level shows where Metaquotes was still able to write as was Babylon, a toolbar I never ordered or downloaded ...

MT4 New build 600 is released

Build 610??? Wake me up when it hit 1000 after the weekend.

MT4 New build 600 is released

My install programs often put experts, indicators, scripts, set files, and templates in the corrects place. The user only needs to select the top level MT4 folder. I am off to bed but you should get the idea. That leaves it up to the user to know ...

MT4 New build 600 is released

And a major memory leak is going away if you use certain indicators. The release of arrays declared in functions was shown as being correct in the new build but not in build 509. As I said the language is not the issue. The overhead in those days ...

MT4 New build 600 is released

Thanks for the links, I know about ProTrade, they are on my list, and am also looking into Ninja Trader. I can write a converter myself and have enough indicators and EAs to need that. I already have written a Pascal to C and C to Pascal converter ...

MT4 New build 600 is released

This new build has been such a mess I am forgetting where I have posted things. I have 2 build 600's on the same machine running Windows 7. One is from FXDD, the other from MetaQuotes. Both are installed on the C drive NOT IN PROGRAM FILES. I go the ...

MT4 New build 600 is released

As a writer of custom indicators and EAs for clienta sll over the world I have many installs of build 509 from brokers all over the world as well on my developments system. Most of them are now shut down to avoid the trojan horse from Metaquotes. On ...

MT4 New build 600 is released

Here is new version with bugs fixed from build 509. There was a compare using = instead of ==. Next step is to move to my laptop with new build 600 and check again. The Doc file looks like code. What is the purpose? Robert

Fractals, ZZ & the Pissing Dog

And let your brokers know it.

MT4 New build 600 is released

Perhaps if a majority of MT4 programmers went on strike and did not fix or report anything???? NO MORE BETA TESTING BY END USERS!!!!

MT4 New build 600 is released

I just got off the phone with FXDD and was told that they no longer control the upgrade process. I will be talking to tech support tomorrow. And yes, the new build is a total mess. As many know I am a software engineer since the mid 70's who started ...

MT4 New build 600 is released

For some reason I stopped getting emails about this thread. My latest idea about ZigZag pip distance is to also use percentage of average daily range. The new build will make this much easier as I can create data structures similar to the sql ...

Fractals, ZZ & the Pissing Dog

Another light bulb moment. The failure legs for ZigZag is shown by the indicator I posted that kept failed zigzag points. If we include the zigzag size as the pip distance from start to finish AND the fib retracement level from prior fractal then we ...

Fractals, ZZ & the Pissing Dog

I finally finished the old thread and this one. I have one question. At the start the bar sequences were done for every bar, then every other bar, etc. A later post only refered to doing every bar. Which is correct? I do have an issue with using ...

Fractals, ZZ & the Pissing Dog

Ruudraksh, The EA you posted uses martingale and will quickly empty a small account if there is a loss series. It is also coded to open market orders and will not work with ECN and might also need to fixed for 5 digit pricing. Robert

Zigzag EA

A friend suggested I visit this thread. It has been stated that the EA cannot be backtested. The reason given is not the only one and that one might be workable as well. It was stated that the EA can be tested in Visual mode. If that is the case ...

Pippo: A Murrey Maths Retrace EA

Of course but I already have 9 charts open looking for trade setups. I use a tenth chart for trade management that has some indicators that show current profit/loss on each order plus the basket using label objects. I use that to place closeall ...

I'm seeking a trailing stop EA that surely must exist, any ideas?
