BenQ: this only means that those functions are not called and will therefore not be part of the compiled version (for efficiency reasons). Nothing to worry about!

Saving settings as a template — If there is a setup that you use a lot you can save it as a template. On the toolbar, look for the icon on the right of the Period icon (which looks like a clock). Select Save Template. You can then load a ...

There is a limit for each time frame how far back the history goes. Also, you should never mix your broker data with data from MetaQuotes. I know the feature is there, but it isn't really useful. What you see for the 15min is about right; I'm seeing ...

Don't see you dividing anything anywhere in your code... BTW, you shouldn't have to use NormalizeDouble(). Of course, if you divide you have to test that the divisor isn't zero, for example when first and last bar are the same.

The title of the category is "Forex Discussion", which could really be about anything related to Forex. Granted, this discussion isn't going anywhere... If you take the definition broad enough then everything is gambling, as it seems related to ...

You should run the latest version (see post 169). I think the file format was changed.

See, now if you had that EA working for you, making you some money, you could take her out in the meantime and play the big spender...

In the "old" days... — I think we are spoiled in Forex with almost instant fills and conformations most of the time. Several years ago I traded futures and had one instance where the confirmation that a trade was closed came hours ...

Check your symbols — If you have an IBFX mini account, check that the symbols on the chart(s) of your profile end in "m". For example, if your profile has a chart with GBPUSD (without the "m"), MT will wait forever for an update because it ...

MT data into Excel — First, in your MetaTrader, under Tools -> Options, make sure that "Enable DDE Server" is checked. In your MT installation directory (e.g., C:\Program Files\Interbank FX Trader 4), there is a sample spread sheet called ...

Firefox was affected too.

I've seen that once with another file. Just try closing and reopening the platform.

When do you get paid? — I have a question about the payout of the swaps. I thought they are only paid (or subtracted) if you actually close your positions. So they are accumulating, just like your P/L, but you don't get the results until you ...

On the left, in the Navigator under Expert Advisors, you should now see your EA. To back test, click on the Strategy Tester icon (which looks like an hour glass). You will find this icon on the toolbar near the top of your window. In the help file ...

See itradefx.com. No MT4 platform. Based in Florida. Available capital $1.8 million (per 1/31/07); capital requirement $1 million, so seems like a fairly small outfit. Given that CFG was short much more, I wonder how realistic this deal is. I would ...

Well, you could say that this is a fake grail on fake prices. I wouldn't recommend using this on real price quotes. But, if you wanted to, you would just set LoLimit to 0 and HiLimit to some high value (e.g., 1000), which would make them uneffective ...

No they aren't accurate at all, that's the joke . The narrow range is just to protect the EA if the prices go back to normal! It's very weird, it looks just like random noise to me.

I was surprised about that too. There is something severly wrong with Velocity4X's demo server, with the quotes of some currencies hyperactive in a narrow range all the time. That is what the EA exploits. I hope people understand that this is ...

Band Stand EA — I believe in forward testing, so here we go! The result of my new EA after about 1.5 hours. This one never loses. I use MM, but have limited the trade size to 1000 lots maximum. Runs on 1M GBPUSD, but only on a V e l o c i t ...
