OK, I tried: int start() { Print("Orders = " + OrdersTotal()); // for(int cnt=0; cnt<OrdersTotal(); cnt++) for(int cnt=OrdersTotal(); cnt>0 ; cnt--) { OrderSelect(cnt,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES); Print(cnt); OrderPrint(); } return(0); with loops both ...

Forward or Backwards ? That is the question

Possible starting point for you? — Kurka, suppose there are 10 orders, in which case I assume OrdersTotal() would = 10. Then for(cnt = 0; cnt < OrdersTotal(); cnt++){ will process for cnt = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} while ...

Forward or Backwards ? That is the question

Joe, thanks for sharing. I agree with you that entry is every bit as important as exit, in fact possibly more so. If you mis-time the entry, the best that exit can possibly offer is damage control. I'm also very much in agreement that the consistent ...

How to build a good forex strategy

Rad, you might try www.forex-tsd.com and type something like "waddah attar" into their search engine. I did, and here is one of the links I got: url The first post on that thread has the MQ4 source, which might give some clues as to what it's ...

Attar Explosion? How to use?

UT, the chances are that no one individual has trialled enough EAs to give an unbiased view, let alone run them live over enough trades to prove they have an indefinite edge. Common sense would suggest that most vendor EAs are going to be dodgy at ...

Best Metatrader Robot?

Rusty, I believe you are correct, but that's because most EAs are simply not "intelligent" enough. Any discretionary method, no matter how abstract, can potentially be programmed; the only requirement is that there is some rationale behind the ...

Best Metatrader Robot?

ScottyB159, sorry I only just noticed your post now; don't know if you're still around. Anyway, I'm afraid I can't help you. What you're asking is how to decompile an executable back to its source code. I don't believe that this can be done. For ...

Hi Bluefox, It seems that this has been a problem with earlier releases also (see posts #295 thru 298 above). I've sent you a PM. Thanks for your kind comments. All the best, David

FFcal - Plot News indicator

Tom, my thoughts on EAs here: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=2005324 If it's possible to trade profitably using a discretionary approach (i.e. that's more than lucky guesswork), then I don't see why it isn't ultimately possible, by ...

FFcal - Plot News indicator

I'm not saying that every broker cheats his clients, but let's face it, the forex market is largely unregulated, and brokers are out there to make as much money as they can, and by whatever means they feel they can get away with. There are no prizes ...

Perplexed - year spent looking for system

Hi Daniel, It seems that not too many folk here experience success running EAs. However, I believe that, if it's possible for a discretionary trader to be profitable, then there's no reason why an EA can't likewise be profitable. See the following ...

“Professional” Expert Advisors? Thoughts. Reviews. Ideas?

Leverage doesn't have to be an enemy. Simply find a broker who allows mini or micro lots, and keep your position sizes small. Just because high leverage is available doesn't mean that you're forced to use it. Leverage has nothing to do with either ...

Odds staked against us?

That's true, but if you trade longer term, and only in the direction of the carry trade, then a few days of positive swap will overcome the spread. Then, even with random entries and exits, you have (FWIW) a positive expectancy system. Of course the ...

I agree. My reasons here: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=2005324 If it's possible for a discretionary trader to be profitable, then it's possible for an EA to be profitable. Any process that involves a rationale that's being applied ...
