MT4 supports custom symbols and also custom timeframes. It's called offline charts and you can feed/update them from the realtime data feed. The main difference to MT5 is that MT5 has a nice user interface to manage such symbols. In MT4 you need to ...

Regarding those recommendations: Not knowing what videos you watched, assumed they didn't solve the two issues explained in my previous post then they are quite lost. How to achieve stable/robust results then? The only way I can imagine is to find a ...

Already wanted to post this in your other thread How often do you re-optimize but it "fits" better here: You are not. Curve-fitting is the result of two things: (1) using an inproper optimization criterion and (2) an invalid selection of the best ...

Over the last 15 years I probably tried every retail platform available. Starting with a life-time license for NeoTicker, then NinjaTrader, then MultiCharts, finally found MetaTrader 4. In between I tried SierraCharts (my second best choice after ...

The shorter the trading timeframe the shorter the optimization period and the re-optimization intervals. For simplification you may use general statistics: For a test result to be statistically significant it should cover at least 100 trades. You ...

Forget about Wine. Yes, you can make it work. But not to a degree that it will make you happy. I'm a Linux guy and over the years my experience with Wine is mixed. MetaTrader is not a standard Windows application. Today you can make it work on Wine. ...

Would setting ObjectSetInteger(chart, object, OBJPROP_SELECTABLE, 0); of the affected objects help to work around your issue? Such an object can't be selected. Without selection it can't be deleted and so it can't be un-deleted. You wouldn't have to ...

Hi. Your idea is a variant of the tunnel trading system. This idea was modified and reinvented countless times, probably the most famous example (the origin?) is the Vegas H1 Tunnel method. While I didn't look through your code I can tell you that ...

Currently I'm working on something very similar to your proposal. My intention for the ZigZag EA was a bit different. I was aware that an "always in the market" setup can't be profitable. But I can see an interesting pattern: Whenever ZigZag ...
