simple trend method EA request, will pay

Yea, I just wanted to make sure that was fine by you. BTW I quickly searched how datetime works and I think I got it right by just using integers, as long as you leave expiration on 0 it will simply use no expiration. Edit: also let me know if you ...

What do you mean? Open 3 positions at 30 pips above/below 0 GMT open and then close 1 at 30 pips, 1 at 60 pips and the last at 90 pips profit? Or open 1 order with 30 pips TP, then once TP is hit open another order with 30 pips TP, etc?

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure what the exact mistake was (I should've written down what it was...). I think it had either something to do with not using continue or not redefining an external int. Either way I fixed it myself, I do think alot ...

Stuck with open orders on MT4 "Off Quotes"

Sorry for the late reply (was up until 3 AM the last 2 days trying to setup a correct backtester and figuring out how the hell I can close the damn "off quote" errors positions. Still hasn't worked by the way. I wanted to try making one for practice ...

OrderModify error 130?

Hey, thanks for the answer. Do you think that apart from the silly mistake with the price this method of changing the ticket afterwards is correct? Or is a loop to search for the ticket better?

OrderModify error 130?

Yea I thought it was something ridiculously simple and stupid like that. It's actually working now >_<. I could've sworn I tried to set the buy price higher the first time (going with the trend after price hit a retracement), but I guess I made a ...

Trade I just tried for this reason, it makes no sense but it should be accepted by the server since it's a valid trade. Earlier I made a sensible attempt at trading the same pair and out of desperation I just used a BuyLimit and it worked fine. ...

Why and how Win-Win in Forex is possible

I hate to go against reputable forum members as a rookie, but Oanda is definately a market maker and MBT is definately not. I have read both of their disclaimers and ToS and MBT states they have no "conflict of interest" and take every possible ...

Oanda vs. MBT FREE EXN

What if a ton of people are running your EA? Wouldn't that profit your EA from extra PA in your direction? Isn't that the idea behind sharing strategies on forums such as this one? If there's no benefit, why do people share strategies in the first ...
