I trade NQ with AMP using the MT5 VPS out of Chicago. I have not experienced any lag or downtime, nor do I need the additional headache of server management thrust upon me.

This is disconcerting, to say the least. My EA sits on the MT5 VPS (Aurora) and so far my stop loss orders in NQ have not had any unusual slippage and are in the 0 to 2 tick range on average. This would likely not be the case if there was any lag. (My entries and target exits are limit orders.)...

This would require an additional sell order together with the requisite housekeeping. Since I use the MQL VPS, do you think it's more efficient using the Sell Stop order rather than my method?

To issue, say, a buy limit order, I use : m_trade.OrderOpen(Symbol(),ORDER_TYPE_BUY_LIMIT, no_contracts, 0, price,stop ,0) where m_trade is an object of class CTrade. Note that I include the stop value but not the target. Once the position is opened, I immediately issue a sell limit order (the...

Yes, sorry, I meant stop entries. The errors I was referring to were : I don't use stop orders, but I believe an error can be generated if the stop price is too close to the current price. Try entering orders in OnInit.

I see that you also got errors with MNQU22, MESU22 and MYMU22. These are stop limit entries, so there could be errors if current price is within a certain range of the limit. Start by placing a limit order for FDXS in OnInit() (comment out OnTick function) and see if the order is accepted. Then...

The above indicator is available on the MetaTrader platform, and there are similar scripts in TradingView and ToS as well. I'm familiar with The Strat and am currently back testing some of the strategies.

Kudos for journaling your experience. You seem to have identified the areas which need working on (position sizing, sticking to your stops, daily limit on trades etc.) Do you have any real time "Strat" aids in NT to help identify patterns and FTFC confirmation? I know they exist in other platforms.

Yes, the house would still have the advantage as the player goes first in blackjack. If the player busts, they lose their wager even if the dealer busts as well.

At AMP, one can only trade MT5 with the CQG data feed. There is no mystery here. Upon opening a live account, you receive an email entitled "MT5 Live Setup Credentials" which contains login and setup details as well as some important links to read, one of which is this. At the beginning it is...

All explained here.

Bob Lassiter (September 30, 1945 - October 13, 2006). Exactly 15 years since you left us. I still get a good chuckle reading through your old threads, PM's and emails. Hope they're treating you well.

I've watched some of René's MQL5 videos - very good, dry but thorough. Just be aware that Parts 5, 6, 7 & 8 above are for MQL5, not MQL4. He does both.

There is OrderOpen() in MQL5 (not OpenOrder) which is an operation of the CTrade class.

I completed the Coursera Data Science Specialization offered by Johns Hopkins University in 2014. I was not interested in a career as a data scientist at the time, but rather wanted to familiarize myself with R and my actuarial background helped with the statistical portions of the course. I'd...

Perhaps Excel VBA and the IB API?

On March 13, you posted results of a back test you did on a basic version of your system. When asked about further back testing, you mentioned that you didn't have access to Bloodhound. On May 26, you found that NT's Strategy Trader could help you on the way to automation without Bloodhound...

Correct.
