Can I assign a long multi-line function? If I try to put it all on the same line then I go over MQL4's string size limit, and if I try to break up the function deceleration into separate statements then R just stalls.. Example: GetTopN<-function(n) ...

I back-test with the open bar mode on 5 minute candles, not on tick data. Despite that I need access to accurate bid/ask prices in the test. Right now I'm thinking of importing the ask and the bid price into two fake currencies that I will be able ...

Has anyone thought of a way to use accurate historic Ask/Bid prices on candles?

Yes, of course you need to bet more if it is a better trade. The question is "how much more?" It does not have to be linear. For example, if TRADE A = 1.5 pf and TRADE B = 3.0 pf it may make sense to bet MORE than double.

egadsforex, I am not talking about a mathematical formula for market sentiment. I am just asking for the most logical way to increment lot sizes based solely on the situation I described in my post. When you say "multiplied by the confidence" - my ...

I believe that I've got the solution. I knew that the only way to do this is to modify the i-Regr indicator. My mistake was that I was placing the underlined statement inside the loop; this caused the slope buffer to be re-written at each bar. ...

That is the same thing that Pat1 said. It doesn't work the way I want. 2011.05.31 23:59 showslope EURUSD,M5: Slope: 30.2633 2011.05.31 23:55 showslope EURUSD,M5: Slope: 30.7395 2011.05.31 23:50 showslope EURUSD,M5: Slope: 30.2577 2011.05.31 23:45 ...

Pat1, unfortunately this does not work. output: 2011.05.31 23:59 showslope EURUSD,M5: Slope: 30.2633 2011.05.31 23:55 showslope EURUSD,M5: Slope: 30.7395 2011.05.31 23:50 showslope EURUSD,M5: Slope: 30.2577 2011.05.31 23:45 showslope EURUSD,M5: ...

Thanks hanover, that helps. It gets confusing with this indicator because what I want is the REPAINTABLE slope of the linear regression at the bar shift I specify, not the NON-REPAINTABLE slope. They are two different things.

What equation does ObjectGetValueByShift use?
