Hey Salty!

(Sorry I wasn't there in the weekend at MSN. Will try next weekend).

I think this piece of code:
lot=NormalizeDouble(AccountFreeMargin()*MaximumRisk/1000.0,digits);
takes your free margin in account to increase or decrease your lot size.
Salty ... I like it

Check out the attachment in this post, you'll see what I mean in terms of the low margin buffer that i was describing.

This is for a demo account so in reality it doesn't count as brokers don't care about it, but if this was live, then I'd be worried.

I'm just thinking that maybe in your calculations we could reduce the AccountFreeMargin() by half that way increasing it's significance. For example change it to:

lot=NormalizeDouble((AccountFreeMargin()/2)*MaximumRisk/1000.0,1);

What do you think?

Don't worry about last weekend, we can catch up this weekend if you wish.

I'm now watching the USDJPY because I have a BUY opened in the contest. It's testing and testing over again the resistance of 119.00. Please don't break it!!

Hey Salty,

Are you offering me a job as EA developer?
And why not ... I'd be willing to offer what I think is a very generous 50%/50% profit split for the right EA.

Helloo

I think all of us want to trade in Forex for living ^^

Sorry for ask Hendrick but what do you do for living?
Sorry about my english.

See you guys later
Hi Gazzoni,

Your English is ok! Look at my English! It's not important if you be fluent in English or not, as long as you can express your ideas and feelings to others. No one in this forum will tell you to leave because your English is not good enough! <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>

<o></o>

What I do for a living? I'm working as an ICT-manager. But one day I hope to make a living out of developing MetaTraders Expert Advisors. I'm not that interested in making money (well, on the other side it's important because it gives financial freedom) but I' more interested in the creative part of making EA's. That part of an EA that is generating signals for BUYS or SELLS. There are so much ideas in my head that I hardly know where to begin. Well, let’s first finish <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1lace w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Phoenix</st1:City></st1lace> 5. And after that versions 6, 7 and so on. And every version will be better than the previous one!!

Harry:

I'm using the standard reference material here on FF for MQL but they lack a lot of good sample code for indicators and EA's. Do you know of any other sources for MQL programming/learning/examples? I'm doing my best to contribute something, or should I say contribute something 'one day' but I'm still in the basics.

I hear ya, Palmer. I kicked around trying to learn C++ and even started a book. It is daunting! I would love to be able to program and test theories but programming is not something I can do. All I would want is to program MQ4. They say it is like C++ but do you have to learn the whole language to test EA's and indicators?

No, you don't have to learn all of C or C+. Probably just the basic syntax of C would be enough. The tricky part is MQL itself is where to put all the (), {}, and the MQL syntax. I think the easiest thing to do is code a basic custom indicator then turn that into a basic EA without worry about results. The important thing is to compile it without errors and MAKING SURE it does what it is supposed to do on a chart. I've been looking at the indicator code for the the included stuff with MT4 and running with that. I've got lots of ideas that I want to look at...it'll just take a little while. I keep telling myself that the markets will be there tomorrow...as far as my account, well, that's a different story ;-)

Glad it's only temporary ... would hate to think that because of this "EA stuff" your family ditched you!

Do you need a hand in checking / coding / testing the release?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Palmer, I will look at C then. I have started the tutorial on MQL. Your right, the markets will be there tomorrow, I just need to find the patience to learn the code and start one indicator at a time. Maybe all is for naught with Phoenix. Set it and forget it is the dream. I need to chase that sunshine no matter what the time of year.

Please guys! Tell me what the USDJPY is going to do! (the Contest you know, I have a BUY now) It's waiting for something! We will have the USD "Interest Rate Statement" within an hour. Guess it will start to move afterwards. But what direction? Any clues ?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>

They say interest rates will hold, but what about the comments on the direction of the economy?

Guess what Palmer; first thing I'm going to do Saturday is visit the market and buy myself a lot of good strawberries (you know why) and some boxes of cigars. I know it's a bad habit (the cigars I mean), but I really can't resist the combination of a good cigar, an excellent wine and <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Phoenix</st1lace></st1:City>!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>

The longer you will hold the more you will make on the swap ... so don't worry too much. As long it doesn't get to your SL, then you won't have a problem. BTW, it's got about 60 pips in reserve before it gets there, and that's quite a lot.

I didn't know you were a cigar man!! I had a Rocky Patel (1992) last weekend, a little smoother than the 1990. Going to pick up a few more. Of course you can never go wrong with a good Arturo Fuente Gran Reserve either!!! I'm not in front of my MT4 computer right now...sorry, no help on that one...We're all pulling for ya dude...
