I want to trade the opens (mainly the London open) however I'm always away from a computer when it opens.

The system I want to experiment with isn't overly complex and I would trust an EA to trade this system.

Info like going rates would also be helpful.

Thanks.

This guy did an EA for me. He is real good and stays in contact with you everyday via text messaging if you want until it works the way you want.

MQL programmers are a dime a dozen, finding a good one is the problem.
For example, I have yet to see a EA (in the literially 100's I have looked at) that does proper risk management.

Not the fault of the programmer! The programmer's job is to translate business rules into code without error.

I'm actually of the opinion that EA's should be developed with no risk management code and trade fixed lot size so as not to mask periods of exceptionally good/bad performance. Once base performance has been identified, by all means, add risk management code and move on to additional testing.

It is if the trader is the programmer, and this is usually the case.
I take it your a programmer?

You got me there.

Yup. Programming is my day job (13 years and counting).

I used to be a programmer, then a pointy haired manager, now a programmer again, 20 years in IT.
Anyway, I think any good programmer would feel the need to point out any obvous flaws in a clients plan if, in fact, he had the domain knowledge to make such an observation. If the client does not want to listen, oh well, so be it...you tried.

Risk management is just one aspect I see poorly handled in EA code, another one is (for example) the hard coding of lot sizes, has anybody ever looked at the MarketInfo function documentation? I guess to an extent, these things are to be expected as MQL4 is a relatively new thing.

Good points all, my initial response was a reaction to what I saw as a typical "blame the programmer" comment. I try to protect my guys from that kind of thing and out of habit my protective instincts spilled over into the forum.

China? I am suprised you can even access this site since it is not really science/technology related.

I'm sure government censorship has to be frustrating for you guys.

It states something a long the lines of not being able to link to another site if you have under 50 posts due to spam.

I could see blocking the link if I started the thread, but helping someone out by showing them the url?!?

Seems like common sense to me, but not my forum, I'm just a guest...a newb guest at that.

But hey, 40 more posts and I will be leaving links all over this place

My point is that if you want people to abide by rules they should be eaiser to find. Still cant find them.

Hi there

I have written to XPworks a few times and there has been no reply.

Tesla, I am new here and I cant sent you a PM for some code writing. Can you pm me your email so that we can communicate on a simple code that I require ?

Thank you
