Creating a "Super Pitchfork"

Moj1, the trade server has rejected the price at which you have asked it to close the order (just like a requote with manual trading, an EA is simply automating the manual process). Buy orders should be closed at the Bid price; Sell orders at the ...

How much money can a seasoned semi-pro make with trading on Forex?

No offense to anybody, but if I could capture even 10 pips per day, four days out of every five, I'd be a forex millionaire within a few years. At 100:1 leverage that's easily possible. Let's be more realistic. Here's a post by a pro trader who's ...

Complicated looking Indicator, what to do?

Omni, LOL - this (UT_FAST.mq4) would have to be the worst piece of coding that I've ever seen!! The green line (indicator buffer is arr_global_76[]) gets assigned here: arr_global_76[var_124] = var_128; and here if (inp_lenars_4 == 1) ...
