Simple: Upon receipt of buy-signal, set a bool variable 'buytriggered' to true. On every tick you check for this variable and distance, if the check evaluates to true, you buy and set 'buytriggered' to false. if(BuySignal) { buytriggered = true; ...

How to create a hidden simulated limit order in MT4?

It does not matter what the EA does. If you do not use a seconds timer you cannot start by the second, but by next tick that is past your mark. And that could fail under certain circumstances. If StartSeconds is always 0 then the EA will start on ...

Need to add "seconds" to start time for EA. Please help!

"Tricky" in this context means: For example if you were to define StartSecond = 30, and last tick had occured at 29, and next tick would occur 35 seconds later, then the check for >= 30 seconds would fail because of the wrap-around (29 + 35 = 4). ...

Need to add "seconds" to start time for EA. Please help!

The ckeck for greater-or-equal is because EAs have been tick driven only, not time. So, the EA could only check the time when it has been "ticked". And it is unlikely that no tick would occur within a hour, therefore no greater-or-equal check ...

Need to add "seconds" to start time for EA. Please help!

Do I understand correctly that you can program (in Java)? To fill a data gap I would store the timestamp of the last bar on which live data has been collected in a terminal's global variable. Subsequently a script would read the timestamp and store ...

Real time data export from MT4

Data export of the last record only. (Also changed item delimiter to "," and record delimiter to ";") file Do you really need more (M1) bars than MT4 can provide? If not, simply download the amount of bars needed each time you start a session.

Real time data export from MT4

Good. If you do not need the data as a history - meaning that the last record is appended - it can be made to contain only the last (most recent) record.

Real time data export from MT4

I think now it does the trick. file

Real time data export from MT4

Exported file is in {your data folder}\MQL4\Files\Data You have to stop the expert in order to be able to see the text in an editor. BTW there is only incremental volume or no real volume at all. // EA code int file_handle; string InpFileName = ...

Real time data export from MT4

@Redbullish Thank you. I think I have expressed myself a bit misleading, I meant of course "credible". That is, if anyone has good experience with, or would recommend, a (particular) IA. So, you would recommend smartfx? I may consider. @shrike Thank ...

Does anyone have any experience with Dukascopy?

Nice, Mevo, how you tricked me. lol Fine. I too am not pleased with the move AM did, and there are already other issues (like delayed feed, slow execution 500-600ms) - so, in fact I am looking for alternatives. Possibly I go back to Dukas (Europe), ...

Does anyone have any experience with Dukascopy?

No, this is not the place. I have seen many accounts here die because of recommendations - and they did not lie, just recommended the "wrong" brokers. Well, it is up to definition if commissions at Dukas start at 10 and go up to 35, or if they start ...

Does anyone have any experience with Dukascopy?

I already wrote that this is not the right place to make recommandations about brokers. And what conditions are you talking about, obviously they would vary, so, on average? While Duka's commissions start from 35/1m. There are brokers that will do ...

Does anyone have any experience with Dukascopy?

@mitch77 Unfortunately this is not a neutral forum, so, talking about brokers that do not pay FF may be regarded ads and your account may soon end up in the bin. But I can say that in the mean time I would not recommend the broker I have changed to ...

Does anyone have any experience with Dukascopy?

Situation at AM is getting worse (for me): slow execution 500-600ms (ping < 50ms); high spread in E/U during London ~0.4 on average, but falls to ~0.2 in late US lol. Erratic price movements, gaps (apparently bar data does not match tick data). And ...

Armada Markets

Back then they had quite large spread on E/U i.e. >0.5, and this has been the main reason I left them (hunting for few pips this is an issue). Now I have seen they have somewhat more competitive spread on E/U i.e. 0.2-0.3 on average. Back then exec ...

Does anyone have any experience with Dukascopy?

I have traded via Dukascopy for about 2 years, now about 2 years ago. IMO the best thing about Dukascopy is their vast and free (Java) API, that can also be used stand-alone (meaning no need to run Duka's JForex). All else is average. I had no ...

Does anyone have any experience with Dukascopy?

Yes, but IC Markets have the same high commission $7 per round-turn. But you can use cash-back strategies with both of them.

ECN/broker/futures for extreme scalping

Hey traders, does anyone have current, real, stats of execution times (only true ecn live accounts, mini lots or even micro lots) at ICMarkets (preferrably E/U, Europe based traders, London session)?

IC Markets

True. It's because you said: Why MQ is bullshit? LOL You will have to learn a few more things I guess..

Any experience on Oanda API? Any better or worse than MT4 EA?
