Howdy. I too went down a similar route as Apprendista a while back. Admittedly, I will have no real answers, so I will just post some observations I have had. Everyone knows what the basic signal is, so I won’t belabor that point. But just a general ...

I will post some other data when I finish compiling it. But I generated some random data along side of Daily Data taken from the G/U. I created 3 sets of different random data, all generally based on the original set of data in some way. I just did ...

It looks very detailed! But I wouldn't need it now as I've already figured it out, and I don't really use MT4. I skimmed through some of it, and I do see it will calculate margin used upon entry. I see another screen where you would calculate ...
Having a brain fart on figuring out margin used based on stop?
- forrestang replied Jun 26, 2022
Maybe I am wrong, but I am almost certain that my platform(or any I have ever used) does not show me that information? It only shows me the margin used, while I am IN a position. This was not the information I was looking for. The information I was ...

I don't use MT4 regularly, but that looks like a cool indicator. I was surprised on asking this question, how difficult it was to get people to understand the question I was asking, and how few people seemed to know how to do the calculation. I ...

I completely forgot I posted this thread here. I was using babypips for examples, but the examples there didn't help me figure it out. I was unable to really translate the babypips examples into the information I needed. But I did eventually figure ...

At the time I wrote this post, I knew how to calculate the margin required to OPEN a position, my question was how to calculate the margin used while a position is OPEN. I.e., I wanted to know how much margin you will use up, once a position is ...

I currently have Oanda credentials that will feed NinjaTrader. This is just a data feed, not associated with my live Oanda account. I have been using this for a while with no issues. My question, is are there any plans in the future to do what is ...

I might be a bit behind, as I do everything in NT. So most of my data exports will be produced from what I build in NT. I rarely use MT4 for many things. The indicators I don't mind posting, but they're all NT indies.
