Hello, Was trying to give your software a try, but i am most times offline. Thing is that i am required to have least connected to the net i.e being online before the program connects and then runs offline afterwards. Is it supposed to work like this? It would have been cooler if i can run and do a backtest totally offline. Te program first have to connect with your account and if you are not online, it wouldnt connect. I do think it can work totally offline since all needed data has already been downloaded. Thanks for your response.

I am afraid the program will not work totally offline. As you said, the connection is required at least for startup. For example, at startup the program has to check if your license is still valid (it may not be valid in case of refund, for instance). It has to connect to Soft4FX server in order to check that, so the connection is required. There are other technical factors, too. But I will not write them all here.

Hi,

Just downloaded the demo version, quite impressive. Just 2 cents here.

1) There is a typo at Automatic Pause... It says: "Puase the simulation..." instead of "Pause"
2) For visual mode, for new trades, in the pop up window it would be so nice to see Risk-Reward ratio dynamically changing between TP and SL based on the moved Hlines.

Great product, though would love to see being able to produce OnTick events for Expert Advisors as well. I can dream at least right?

I am giving this product a few more days and tries, but I am already convinced to buy it. Would really help me out in putting on more trades, as it is really hard next to a day job.

Regards,
A fellow coder

Hi guys, i have an idea.... can you add play-pause, open0 buy, sell and close buy and sell on scripts, so we could asign a shortcut keys to execute those parameters (like alt+b alt+s: contrl+b,contrl+s, etc...) this way would be even more practical. The design and the popup control menu are great but, this way we would be able to save some screen space and gain speed. thx!

I am not sure if you know, but several basic operations can be done with hotkeys:

1. Ctrl + Space - Pause/Play
2. Ctrl + Up Arrow - Increase speed
3. Ctrl + Down Arrow - Decrease speed
4. Ctrl + Right Arrow - Next bar
5. Ctrl + Left Arrow - Previous bar

1. Ctrl + B - Buy
2. Ctrl + S - Sell
3. Ctrl + C - Close last trade
4. Ctrl + A - Close all trades

Hotkeys work only in the main window of the simulator, so this window must be currently active (must be the last clicked window).

Why i cannot save my stimulator data?

Please contact me by e-mail: mail[at]soft4fx.com. I will try to help you.

Version 1.78 is released with a bunch of useful features:

 

1. Displaying trade duration on the list of closed trades
2. Adding comments to trades
3. SL and TP can now be set as price level as well as in pips. You can also display them in these two ways on the list of trades.
4. You can now place pending orders by entering price level instead of setting distance in pips.
5. Finished simulations can now be saved, too. It allows you to review them at a later time.
6. You can change the order of Buy and Sell buttons, so you can place them in the same way as in Metatrader.

Change in licensing of Forex Simulator from 10 June 2018:

Licenses bought after 10 June 2018 will allow users to use the software on only 2 Metatrader accounts (not 10 accounts, as it is now). This change is meant to stop illegal reselling of activation codes that has been lately taking place on social media. Of course, it will still be possible to move to new Metatrader accounts (for example when your demo accounts expire).

Is their anyway to get this to work on Mac? Cheers

No, it works only on Windows.

Do you have plans to support MT5?

I have already answered you by e-mail, but I will also write a few things here as it may be interesting for others, too.

Forex Simulator is based on offline charts. MT4 supports offline charting so you can create various types of charts that are not offered by default in MT4. I mean renko charts, range charts, tick charts, custom timeframes, etc. Unfortunately, MT5 does not support offline charts. Instead, it offers so called custom symbols. More information about custom symbols can be found here:
https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/3540
The problem with custom symbols is that they are always based on 1-minute data, so it is not possible to create charts such as renko, range, tick or any timeframe below 1 minute (e.g. 20 seconds chart). So if we ever make an MT5 version of Forex Simulator, it will be limited in that respect (unless Metaquotes extends this functionality in the future).

Second thing is that few people are interested in MT5. For example, a lot of people requests a simulator for Mac, but very few people ask for MT5. I think that most traders and brokers are just fine with MT4. Considering this fact, I am not sure if making a version for MT5 is a good choice for future. I am not sure if MT5 will ever become as widely used as MT4. Perhaps it would be better to create a standalone version that would work without Metatrader. Or maybe a web version that would work in a browser. The biggest advantage of using MT4 is that you can use its indicators with Forex Simulator. However, not every custom indicator is compatible with the simulator and when it comes to standard indicators (MA, MACD, RSI, Stochastic, ...), we can also code them into standalone or web version.

Anyway, these are just my thoughts. I am curious what other people think.

What's new in version 1.8:

1. New Sessions window for displaying opening and closing times of major trading sessions: New York, London, Tokyo and Sydney.
2. You can now simulate broker's commissions. Commission per lot can be set when starting the simulation.
3. Maximum drawdown of each trade is displayed on the list of closed trades.
4. You can now restore last used settings in the New Simulation window.
