You can never be absolute certain. Progress can only be made through trial and error. The more you are "absolute certain", the harder you will fall.

Watch me rise or see me fall

People putting the blame on brokers when losing are most of the time lazy people that need some hot chili peppers stuffed at their bottom. Spread spikes and such can all be taken in consideration when creatig your own EA; all these broker activities ...

Why do people say brokers steal from traders no matter what?

Quick bump, while this works DO NOT apply this EA to a chart when saving it as a template. I did so yesterday (had 40 orders in the market) and all buy/sell lines got triggered at once, despite price not even being close. After the initial opening ...

Make your trend lines execute your orders

The problem has already been fixed Hanzov . All EA's have magic number 0 and there is only one EA managing the opening of orders. When MT4 is closed nothing can be opened, nor are any trades running at that time. Current code checks first ...

Shutting down MT4 on order close

Danke schön, got to go now but will make sure to look at it tomorrow.

Shutting down MT4 on order close

Really? I thought that only worked for charts that have the same EA attached. If it works on charts controlled by a different EA then thats a nice solution Kilian.

Shutting down MT4 on order close

Ok created an alternative solution for this by using the WebRequest() function. Request will be send to a website that opens a script which will shutdown my notebook/pc. Everything seems to work so far but will have to wait for market to open in ...

1,2: Unfortunately the other EA is from another designer that only distributed its compiled .ex format so not able to add/edit flags to it. Thanks anyway! I will try to experiment some with terminalclose this weekend. The expertremove will not work ...

Shutting down MT4 on order close

Thanks for your suggestion Cyber. Attached is an EA that has been made with an external source which i cannot mention in here because of that being seen as potential commercial intensions. Anyway, below EA is coded to terminate itself after a trade ...

Shutting down MT4 on order close

I found an EA that shuts down MT4 when certain criteria are met so it is possible it seems. Criteria here is when current floating loss or profit is met MT4 will shut down. Its an .ex file so unfortunately cannot paste the code here. Another ...

Too bad plotting the turning box indi removes all other plotted material on charts, such as horizontal lines and rectangles. I wish to hybrid experiment some with my own lines. Is there any way to have turning points not remove other objects? Thanks ...

Astro based Turning Points known in Advance

Bit surprised how spread didnt kick you out of your short position instantly spyderman. I often get 10-15 pip spread spikes (only lasting for 2 to 3 secs) on news like this. And i pay commision also...

Central Banks & Big Players

Another big losing trade. I know what went wrong this time... Room for error is very, very small Despite not having any decent profit last 1.5 month i do not consider this wasted time. Its a proffesion that simply takes years to master. ...

Today had my first trade on GBP/NZD (still running) but i am thinking of removing this pair from my platform afterwards. The problem that i face is how much this pair can distort ones perception of pair movement. In order to cover certain levels one ...

GBP/NZD... this Pair is Amazing!

Last week closed in red.. I believe it was something around -6%. No mistakes made when it comes to triggers, followed the system. These are typical losing streaks that can happen every once in a while. Time will tell if the amount and size of ...

Big loss today. Stopped by 1pip on eur/nzd. Nothing system related, trying to finetune management a bit more... keep doing what you are doing. Repeating this over and over, conditioning the mindset is important. As long as the long term curve is ...

Long term project, from 164 to (?)

Not expecting any more trades today. Few sudden volatile moves on several EUR pairs this week, which is good! No notes to self this week. Keep doing what you're doing. Closing the week with +13.0%

Long term project, from 164 to (?)

No order triggers at all last couple of days.... Going to spend this weekend with some MQ4 language. Trying to optimize efficiency of certain things in order to reduce time involved finding and creating trade setups. Ending the week with a +5.0%.

Long term project, from 164 to (?)

So far W sums up this month. Yellen however is still about to speak in an hour +/- ; anything can happen. Despite the monthly gain being small its a win for me. Profit is profit and i learned alot this month... Edit: Month #1 : +1.4%
