I think this place is a mountain of treasure. But even in a treasure vault, not everything is treasure to different people. Goes the same for EA. How would you decide how much time you're going to spend on a particular EA and whether the EA even works...

 

Personally, I'd rather build my own EA after finding a suitable trading strategy for myself and just take the information here for learning purposes. Reading "educated" EAs and other people's EAs helps me learn a lot about coding an EA by myself :)

I'm a novice at trading but personally after a loss, I think we normally get emotionally upset and it affects the trading. We become more "suicidal" and take unnecessary risks. I take a break after some huge losses so I won't have a revenge mentality and start making a martingale attack.

Most scalping robots I have seen has like 500 SL and 10 TP. It would definitely give the equity curve a nice line.

too good to be true...anyone tried?

Ain't this risky if something like Greece fallout happens? How do you quantify the risks if you don't put a stoploss? And won't you miss future opportunities by placing a trade and sitting on it?

LOL trading naked sounds like you are trading in the nude in front of your PC.

 

jokes aside, I am trying to trade with Gann's Swing at the moment. Seems ok but paper trading through 10 years ain't easy. :P

Does anyone know how to get the full data from Metaquotes history centre without the current data from the existing broker?

We should have an IRC chat room maybe?

No I think he made sense LOL. Maybe you should try coding it to place a reverse signal 10x the lot size and close the position the moment the first signal closes.

 

BTW I think that robots do make good trades, but I guess you need to weed out the bullshit first. I would think 5% per month is a good return for a trading robot.

Hello guys. I'm new in programming in MQL4 but I have some idea about C++ language :D

 

I am currently writing my first EA but I am stuck.

 

I was wondering if someone could share with me on the flow of an EA? This is what I had in mind. Please correct me if the order is wrong or I'm missing something.

 

start()

{

// First section to identify signal based on trading system and output a string with buy/sell indicator

 

// Second section to identify if there are any open orders, and maybe close orders if signal is showing opposite direction

 

// Third section to place an order if there are no open orders and fulfil the signal criteria

 

}

 

 

Thanks!!

Is it MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_MINLOT);?

Hello,

 

Does anyone know of any function which I can get the smallest order for a specific broker?

Hello, I've uploaded the pro version of Pipbrains Advanced. However it needs to be decompiled and the authentication needs to be removed.

Would really appreciate if someone could PM me the decompiled version and if someone could teach me how to access DLL files.
