I just tried the demo . Love it .
Will purchase in next couple days
One couple questions. Is it possible to use the features during live trading. seems much easier to customise auto tp and sl orders, and custom order templates than with standard mt4 order forms.handy having full control of orders from the order box
also is it possible to have starting acc in AUD ? no big problem just have to practice in USD and convert to AUD using aprox rate at the time.
Great work. makes backtesting less painful!!
Thanks

Thank you for your kind words.

I am afraid that the answers to both questions will be no:

1. The simulator is only a simulator and it can't be used for live trading. You need a different tool for that.

2. Account currency is limited to currencies that make the backtested pair. For example, when simulating EURJPY, you can only set the account to EUR or JPY.

Yes, the simulator works with any broker who supports MT4 platform. Actually, as long as you use Dukascopy or TrueFX data, it does not really matter which broker you choose. It will only matter when you decide to use broker's data.

{quote} 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...
Hi, do you intend to build a web version?

Rewinding can only be done bar by bar. However, you can create a higher timeframe chart and use it only for rewinding in bigger steps. For example, if you work on H1 and you want to rewind faster than hour by hour, you can create a D1 chart and use it to rewind day by day.

Hi Konieczniak
Great software Konieczniak. Easier to use than Forex Tester 4. I can use almost all custom indicators with ease. No need to reprogram indicators. Can you pls release one for Linux/Mac? Windows 7 was good but Windows 7 extended support ending this 14 Jan 2020. Windows 10 updates are erratic and not stable. There is no Service Pack for Windows 10 as the updates for Windows 10 Build are cumulative, so they include all older updates. Prefer to use Soft4fx with Linux OS using wine rather than Windows 10 OS.

Hi,
I use Windows 10 and I personally like it, but I understand that you may not. In such case you are left with Win 7 and Win 8. I am afraid it won't work on Mac/Linux using Wine. Wine is not enough to run it. The simulator has many Windows dependencies. You will probably need a virtual machine to run it on Mac or Linux.

On 6 September 2019 Metaquotes released an update to Metatrader called build 1210. Unfortunately, this update has caused many speed issues on Forex Simulator. The simulator has become very slow, unresponsive and almost unusable.

Problem was solved by Metaquotes on 10 September 2019. They issued a new update for Metatrader called build 1212.

If you have been facing serious problems with Forex Simulator in the last few days, you can solve them in two ways:

* Wait until Metatrader updates automatically to build 1212 (assuming that you haven't disabled auto-updates).

* Try to update it manually as explained on this page:
https://soft4fx.com/software/forex-s...build-1210.php

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Been using this software for a week now and I can say you guys really tried. Is there any other way to Pause&Play the Simulator while running? The hotkeys you outlined in your previous post isn't working for me.

I guess it will be easier if you can assign hotkeys to the simulator rather than using the Pause/Play box as it cover most of the screen when you're analysing charts + when you have 3 or more pairs displayed on your screen

You can Pause/Play the simulation using the '>' / '||' button in the main window.

Also, there is a Ctrl+Space shortcut. It does work, but there is one catch:
Hotkeys work only in the main window of the simulator, so this window must be currently active (must be the last clicked window).

Still, you are right that assigning own shortcuts would be a good idea.

I am not sure what you mean by having 3 or more pairs on the screen. Forex Simulator can run only one pair at a time, so it is not possible.

The small box in the top right corner of the chart can be hidden with the small '-' button in its corner so that only the main simulator's window will stay open.

Hi,
I’ve purchased Soft4FX FX Simulator, been using it for a few days and really like it, thank you for such useful app.

I wish there was more details in the Trades -> History and Trades -> Closed Trades tables.

It would be great to have P/L column to be split into two separate columns: “Profit” and “Loss”. It would also be great to have two additional columns: “Won” and “Lost” with “1” entered by simulator to the “Win” column, when it’s a profitable trade, and “1” entered in “Lost” column, when it’s a losing trade. This will really help with back testing indicator performance, and when working with the data from simulator in Excel. Thanks again.
