    So here's how it plans on calculating a take-profit target: //xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx double Out(int n,double l1,double l2) { double t[120], s[120], lm=iMA(NULL,0,n,0,MODE_LWMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1), sm=iMA(NULL,0,n,0...

    The pics are stored on my Skydrive. I edited the permissions on the folder they are in from "friends" to "public". Maybe now they can be seen. I see them in my browser. The VBA macro would be great! I might be able to decipher from that how this works. But hopefully i can get these pics...

    What i'd like to do is look at the code and understand what exactly this EA is doing. 16 trades isn't very many to get a good idea of it's potential. But the way i see it, this EA fails if i had to use the chart shown earlier to judge by. If i knew what it was doing, i might be able to guess...

    Will they please stop publishing great books!

    The way i use the phrase "good and evil" is mainly about opposites combined together into one thing. That would be man, or what man is: opposites combined together into one thing. So there's one tree (one thing) and it's fruit (one thing) is a combination of two complete opposites ("good and...

    Will they please stop publishing great books!

    You've heard of the tree of good and evil? It's part of a story about the beginning of certain conditions. A better interpretation is that it's how man is constructed: an impossible combination of opposites. The oddities of man's right and left hemisphere is just one example of how opposing...

    Maybe it's not for this thread, but i'm thinking about the concept of dollar cost averaging as it may be applied to a forex account, perhaps not as an entire strategy, but as a powerful supplement. There are two kinds that i'm aware of, the most interesting to me is where an account is split...

    Why I prefer EA's to Manual Trading

    Ok i see. Yes i like to keep some things close to the C: drive just because it's handy, and occasionally, like with some compilers, something can't follow a path that has any spaces in it such as "Programs and Settings" (XP). What i've done is i've centralized all my Mq4 and Mq5 code. I...

    Why I prefer EA's to Manual Trading

    I've got a 64 bit Win7 laptop, and am ready for sum fun. But first, i need to know what you mean by outside the program files folder. Currently, i have three MT4 demos (from three different brokers) set up in \Programs (x86) and two MT5 demos from MetaQuotes set up in the \Programs path (where...

    Why I prefer EA's to Manual Trading

    Very good advice thank you very much! Years ago, before VPS was popular or known to me, i rented an apartment primarily to have it's great built-in internet connection for unattended automation. And yes, it was great. I was confident enough in it to let something i coded run for eight...

    Same results. When i check the properties of the file i get 176 KB. Type of file = "file". When i open it with Notepad++ it looks like a binary ( i can't read it). I'm usually able to handle .rar downloads. So if this is a rar i should be able to handle it. Not sure why i can't. Are...

    Why I prefer EA's to Manual Trading

    You seem to suggest that MT4 robots are not as robust as other types of robots, or that MT4 brokers are able and willing to pull more than average shenanigans. Please elaborate. I understand there can be a big difference between a demo account that seems to do well, and a live account...

    Thank you. But the attachment is not downloading as a zip file for me. Can't really tell what kind of file it is except that its a binary. Is this the .dll ?

    Why I prefer EA's to Manual Trading

    I'm reminded of Nicolas Darvis' method. It was set up to operate somewhat unattended, while he was out dancing around the world. If i recall, its ability to operate relatively unattended was part of his key to success. For many of us, our attendance can easily translate into meddling and...

    How to learn to code a "system" to backtest

    Ha, somebody put together Visual Studio-like software to build EA's without hardly knowing any code. $150 or so.

    How to learn to code a "system" to backtest

    One way to start is to write pseudo-code, in your own words, what you think needs to be done by the program. Then break it down into small manageable tasks. If you don't know how to program that task, just search the forums, especially the MQ4 forum, for code or a tutorial that accomplishes...

    How's your eyesight? Too much screen time?

    Hi folks, lately, my eyes started going buggy from too much screen time. Anybody else have this problem? What did you do about it? I may have to give this up for who knows how long cause it's getting really bad. I'm using a laptop with an LCD screen dating back ten years. Is there better...
