Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a way of changing the template for a whole profile instead of having to change each individual chart when you have a number of pairs in a profile

Getting error "Invalid S/L or T/P". The current price is between TP and entry point, so Limit Order should be OK. Also all values are further that 3.1 (3100 points) from each other. Need help please. {image}
your btc price was at 5758,10 at this moment.
you have to set the order by your broker at least with 3100 points difference (so its 31,00 not the 3,1 you did calculate), so your next sell limit could be by 5758,10+31,00=5789,10.

thats all. how big is your spread with this broker? when you set a SL with 5800, you have only 12 Points difference to where you want go in, when you spread is higher then this your order will be closed and you get a loss immideatly.

because you want to react to the 1 hour time changing this weekend in europe?

the fastest way is to change the templates and indicators and save it, and apply to each of the charts. if you have not many charts maybe its even faster by doing it directly in the chart. by all depends how the indicators are programmed and how many different templates you need for different currencies or timeframes.

Thanks for your answer. What is "spread with borker"? I was thinking spread is ask - bid (5793 - 5758 on the picture).

Is there any tool for automatic stop/take/entry calculation given quotients are known? Better embedded in MT or maybe third-party.

borker is "broker", only wrong written

yes spread is ask-bid. you used so a SL that is smaller then your spread. after you get your limit order filled you get it closed and you lose the spread! dont do this! paint all to a paper and mark all your levels and try some example trades for some situations. you always get with limitorder in the trade by bid price, but takeprofit and SL is triggered by ask price.

there are so many of this. take a look at https://www.mql5.com/de/market/mt4.
also in your metatrader under point "Market" (next to Position and order tab) you get this same mq5 market.

- look for the Moving Average Indicator in the navigator
- Take it with the mouse and drop it in the indicator window
- go in the open window to parameters: by "apply to" choose "first indicators data"

thats all. rest like normal.

Is there any way to separate deals, so that having history/statistics for different strategies (breakout, etc.)? I could open different trading accounts but this would cost more money. I was thinking to use "comment" but comment goes into position opening entry only in history, but not into position close. Using MT5.

you can write or use (mq5 market will have some) a simple program, that presents you your history seperated by your magicnumber (used for your expert advisors). also some webpages (where you can connect your account and see all presented with many statistics) have this possibility to split by strategy by using splitting by magicnumber.

by using "comment" you have from broker to broker different results. some use it other way, so delete comment when writing in own comment, and results is different when you close by TP/SL/partially fills or manuell from broker to broker.

Please confirm
1 point = 0.01 if price is written as 5758.10
1 point = 0.1 if price is written as 601.2
1 point = 1 if price is written as 6180

This a great source of confusion for me.

looks like this with your broker. there is point same as pip.

but more easy: go to the market, where the currencies with prices are displayed. there you press right mouse click and go to specificiation. there you see on second line how many digits you will have.

i would take metatrader 4 directly from a broker, not from metaquotes.
metaquotes wants to push metatrader 5, because stopped to improve metatrader 4 and thatswhy lets you only install metatader 5.

so its no problem with your computer or file.

there are 3 symbols in upper right corner (reopen, maximise, close), use the left! then arrange this chart.

when there are many charts open, sometimes the reopened chart opens exactly over an other one (when arranged there before minimizing) and is so difficult to see.
the active chart window has a little bit other color then the other chart windows, but the difference is not very big, so it can be easy possible to overlook sometimes something.
