What I do: I close positions that fall ouside the (newely set) take-profit level (a.k.a. "cut losers short"). They will not produce profit anyway and by doing so, there is never more than like 2 positions open. That way DD is reduced by like 50%. ...

This thingy wants internet access (one of its dependencies is window's wininet.dll) - a big no no (for anti-exploitation/security reasons). No passing/fetching of any kind of data to/from external sources. Simple rule.

An imported DLL can access the same process' space; meaning, if you pass parameters by reference, the DLL's functions can read and write to those spaces.

data pass (freepascal-dll vs mt4)

I have seen a tainted price feed on a demo from Trader's Way, where I tested one of trading programs. At the same time I had my live platform up (Tickmill) and another demo (FXPIG); so, the robot placed a few trades, made some wins and there then ...

All about MT5 Program

I am surprised to read such from you, hanover. Or do you think MetaQuotes work(s) for free? The cost of the whole package is passed on (upon) traders, in the form of cost of trading. An open source solution would be much more cost-effective. In that ...

Questions about MT4 usage

For position-traders there is virtually no difference (mt4 vs mt5); otherwise mt4 is the nightmare, mt5 somewhat better. The problem is, most people do not understand what's what. Same thing as with trading. Therefore we live in a sh*tty (mt4) ...

Today I did a littel bit of a robot shoot-out, forward test (time: ~0700-2000 CET): xBest RV3.41 (both engines on, all else @default) vs Ilan 1.8 (posted in this thread) vs my own beast: xBest did not perform very well (cannot recommend); Ilan is ...

I understand that. Yet the data knows no commissions and slippage. Strategies that hunt for only few pips at a time (like the one we are talking here) are extremely sensitive to cost of trading (commission, slippage, spread). Therefore real life ...

In that case there is no difference (in the trading logic) to any prior versions. Likely not taking account of occuring commissions either. Kind of pointless. MT4 tester is so bogus. I use my own tester, which does it right. With real ticks that I ...

One possibility to reduce max drawdown, is to get rid of those positions that fall short of the reach of takeprofit (they will not yield profit anyway). This will of course reduce profit. For some sort of compensation, the takeprofit can be ...

It is a numerical ID that can be "stuck" to an order for the purpose of identification. This way a robot can distinguish its orders from other orders in the system (i.e. another robot or human) and coexist..

It is always advisable to have a so to speak reference price feed open, like MetaQuotes' MT5 demo. "Surprisingly" - I like that one.

Tickmill

Today at NFP Tickmill's price feed froze up for almost one minute, skipping almost 20 pips of range. Also, yesterday, at ECB ann., an almost 20 pip gap.. Technical problems? Maybe spend less money on BS like contests, and invest in better tech.

Tickmill

It is! Mine has an edge, meaning that the odds are like >90% in my favor (in fact, as can be seen, all setups have been completed successfully, therefore the success percentage is 100 percent). Nevertheless, with a real account I'd only use it to ...

Looking for profitable EA, 2k per day from 40k

Yes, if you are willing to lose 1%, it means 10 of the 1000 pounds. A micro-lot equals to 0.1 currency units per pip for a 4-digit-quoted currency. I.e., if you have a GBP cross (i.e. EURGBP): this means a stop-loss of 10 pounds divided by 0.1 ...
