The best thing to learn is good program structure, but this applies to all programming (breaking code down into functions which do only one thing and minimising global variables). Beyond that it's just trial and error with MQL (and trying to decrypt ...

Robust MQL code...

1. Not your stops in particular, but obvious clusters of stops (for example, a whole lot of longs were probably taken out on the USD/CAD at the end of last week) 3. I guess you could try and anticapte pushes into these areas, but it would be pretty ...
