you can view a live example of expert advisor on a remote desktop here http://www.livestream.com/awarenessforex it may be down, but I might start a new thread. Or better to subscribe for updates at awarenessforex.com facebook page. There is also a bigger screen version of the streaming...

I think you should post a tool like this in a separate thread. It might also be better received in forums like forexfactory and forex-tsd, which have dedicated programming threads. An "end user" like me is more interested in a "file copier" tool that will copy the necessary files from a...

Not sure if it was a myth or not. I can say that I did have a problem on win 7 with some folders disappearing when I had installation of mt4 in the program files (x32) folder. I created an "C:\0Metatrader4\IBFX 1" folder. the zero keeps the folder sorted at the top, although win 7 does not...

Not that many brokers are using mt5 live, but have demos available: ibfx au, vantagefx, and gomarkets. Vantagefx is the only one that is allowing live accounts with mt5. GoM should be launching live within 2 months. the overwhelming majority will still be with mt4 for a long time, and mt5...

Metatrader 4 is not a standalone charting platform. forex brokers lease it from MetaQuotes. The brokers use their own datafeeds and you place your orders directly in the platform, either manually or using an EA (expert advisor) which is code designed to automate some or all of the entry/exit...

Not sure why .zip was removed from the filename......maybe I can get moderator to add the .zip to it. Or add to the original post to add .zip to filename after downloading. very weird. I am actually not so much of a programmer. But I hired a freelance programmer to do it for me. project...

This post helps get at what I think is one of the fundamental roots defining risk. Suppose you are taking a flight from Atlanta, GA to Los Angeles, CA (USA). You experience "drawdown" from the moment you take off until the moment you land, as your whole body is at risk of plummeting to an...

This is why testing on a separate computer or vps is critical until you are satisfied with the results. Forward testing for months or years is not necessary; what you want to focus on is if the underlying entry and exit strategy works. This can be done in a couple of hours or days. Of course...

Yes. But the point is that you are getting back in only when new trading opportunity presents itself. You are not closing out your trades just for the heck of it. It is part of an overall systems approach. The profitkeeper closeall allows you to automate the exit part of your strategy...

The profitkeeper tool has a "fund manager" feel to it. It allows you to trade with the same objectivity as the big boys. You can refine your entry aspect more, and scale aggressively without sacrificing the ability to grab those profits. It really dispells several myths about market accuracy...

You were able to download it ok with no problems? If anyone else is having problems, PM with email or go to .com and you can get copy. There is 1 bug recently discovered. Any individual input value over 99,999,999 will crash the EA. NOT the total amount combined of the input, just any one...

I would never advise full live automation from a home computer, unless you plan to have multiple internet connections and power sources. Use a VPS. you can get a reliable one from CNS for about $30. When auto-trading live, do your best to have your computer physically as close to the broker's...

If you can leave your car/truck idling, your refrigerator plugged in, your air conditioner on a timer, or your employee at the store, there is no reason not to leave Expert Advisor or other trading algorithm unattended on a VPS or other reliable server. The whole point of partial or full...

Very weird. do you have some sort of download manager that is interrupting the download? I find that extremely weird that you cannot download it. zip file has all the instructions, dll, ex4 file, etc) maybe it is corrupt? would have heard something by now. Anyway, perhaps the rar file...

I guess the scarcity model is very hard to shake once you learn it and practice it for years. Profitable EAs are profitable not because they have some secret process. They are profitable because they can detect a pattern that occurs all the time and make a repetitious entry/exit choice...

here is the article on spiral development of software (EAs) This applies just as easily to personal relationships as well. Focus more on un-learning all you think you already know about the market. What's left will be market price action. I think your price action EA is on the right...

The problem with this type of thinking is that you are imposing limitations on yourself. Mixing automatic and manual trading techniques in unison should only be to the extent that one is unable to automate, such as 1) inability to properly describe your methodology mathematically / logically...

Be very careful when you use such presumptions like "all". It is true that if you are using a "black-box" EA that you have no idea how it truly works, then you are destined to fail. But it wasn't the EA that failed. It is the user's ignorance as to how the EA is supposed to function. The EA...

There were many people requesting some type of equity monitoring tool that can lock in profits after a pre-determined account equity is reached (e.g. close all open trades when profit target is hit). Profitkeeper was built to fulfill this gap for professional and casual traders looking to focus...

So are you suggesting that some of the prices reflected on the chart are fake? How did these "fake ticks" get to the chart in the first place?
