If my data is tofu I just delete the history folder, MT4 will obviously recreate it, but it should be with new data.

can't find metatrader answer

My live feed also looks fine.

IBFX - Is it just me?

'I'm giving up' threads are the new black.

I am going to give up this forex soon.

The impact of modeling quality on your EA performance depends on how your EA works, if for instance you only open trades on a new bar open modeling quality is not going to impact your results in any great way. However, if you are evaluating every ...

Optimization vs. decent modelling quality???

I don't mean to pry, but what is the point of such a thing? MT4 will let you open long and short trades and if you want to take profit, well you could use a...take profit.

Simplest Basic EA

It happens all the time on ECN brokers, though whether it presents a valid arbitrage opportunity is another matter.

Has anyone noticed negative spreads before?

Kind of the same, like MBT the spread fluctuates, so giving a hard and fast answer is hard. All ECNs have pretty much the same spread, it's the execution and commissions which matter.

MBT vs. IB vs. Oanda

As I write this IB is fluctuating between 3 & 4 pips spread, commission is about half of MBT. If you wanna scalp the opens, you should check out Buttontrader.

MBT vs. IB vs. Oanda

The Gain Capital data is rubbish, the data that you can export out of MT4 does not seem to have any problems (using IBFX). People seem obsessed with getting MT4 to use tick data, if your edge is the difference between 90% modeling quality and 99% ...

Gain capital data quality

Isn't that kind of taking a bit of a risk when you don't have the source code?

iCustom for EAs?

Interactive Brokers API is free, it comes in Java, C++ and Active X variations. They also have 'paper trading accounts' which are useful for testing bot execution (though the L2 data seems messed up...)

Brokers with free Trading API's?

All oscillator style indicators are based on some type of recent range calculation, as such, they all supply pretty much the same information. One is not going to have any huge advantage over another.

Williams %R and Stochastic difference?

5 is not true, otherwise their would be no such thing as an 'edge' (queue tdion?).

Invaluable Mantra for EVERY Trader

Interactive Brokers & Yes (so far).

IBFX issues...... ???????

Welcome to the world of the MT4 broker, going somewhere else really depends on your trading style, if it's long term than it's not going to affect you much, but obviously for short term trades it's unacceptable. I have actually watched IBFX close ...

IBFX issues...... ???????

It's good that your thinking outside the box, but your ending up with so many lines on your charts that something is bound to happen close to one of the lines. This means that you can never be sure that a particular reaction to a line is meaningful ...

Mission Discovery: Think Outside The FX Box

You need to figure out what you want from a broker first and then satisfy yourself about their honesty (or lack of). MB Trading (EFX) have been around for a while, the commissions are kinda crap, but they let you open smaller accounts. So it's ...

MT4 Brokers' Virtual Dealer Plug-In

It's a shame as MT4 is a pleasant enough platform to use, this unfortunately adds weight to the evidence that the whole thing has been written from the ground up as a big ripoff machine. I guess people will (hopefully) vote with their accounts, ...

MT4 Brokers' Virtual Dealer Plug-In

I'm afraid that it's a mathematical certainty that the joke will be on you at some point, it's just a matter of time. Some folks tried the 'withdrawn before destruction' method for martingale on another forum, it doesn't work.

Is This My Holy Grail EA :D

Haven't we been over this enough times yet? If you think 1kT (or whatever) is dumb, just ignore it!
