No Tipster, I think you misunderstood. I know that I don't need Mt4 for exporting the CSV file. I wanted to know what is needed to be exported by Amibroker so that Metatrader is able to read all order possibilities. And I'm not familiar with MT4 order management. Here there is the description of the mql script

APPEARS TO WORK BUT NOT FULLY TESTED This is a crude "API" for MT4. It allows external programs to control MT4 to execute, modify, close and delete trades Store in experts/scripts and compile This script Polls folder experts/files every Repeat_Delay_Seconds for a file commandfile.txt If it exists, reads a single trade command as per examples below.:
Quote
OrderSend,AUDUSD,OP_BUY,1,Ask,5,0,0,Order1,9999,0,Orange OrderSend,AUDUSD,OP_BUYSTOP,1,0.7670,5,0,0,Order2,9999,0,Orange OrderModify,Order1,0.7695,0.7620,0.7720,0,Orange OrderClose,Order1,1,Bid,5,Purple OrderDelete,Order1 Note that the format of the CSV lines is similar to the original function calls.

An important point about managing existing orders ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The commands OrderModify, OrderClose and OrderDelete locate the order that they are targetting by its Comment, NOT by its ticket number.
Quote
If the command in commandfile.txt is successful it is deleted and the command is written to commandfile_log.txt Unsuccessful commandfiles are renamed "FAILED command .txt" Maintains list of open orders in openorders.txt in format: OrderOpenTime,OrderComment,OrderMagicNumber,OrderSymbol,OrderType,OrderLots,OrderOpenPrice,OrderStopLoss,OrderTakeProfit

May be I misunderstood you now, dastwo, but all the detailed descriptions of those things to be exported are available at MQL docs.

I would also like to add this link to the theme.
http://www.amibroker.com/dde.html

It has MT4 example in it, and an hint about backfilling your history once you've connected via DDE.

About the AFL code we've been talking before, I've got lots of job goin' on lately, so really got no time atm to make one for orders. The one who wanted it badly would already make it, im sure
Will keep in touch, cya.

P.S. By the way, Tipster, you inspired me a lot once in a while, i'm going for the greater project about auto-trendlines and geometry patterns such as triangles, flags, channels etc. Am also making a trading platform via Amibroker for the russian market.
Thank you.

Hey, dastwo. In fact i've just found it so did not try it yet, since the markets are closed on weekends, but i'm sure it is working and is pretty simple to use. The most tricky part would be to create static vars inside amibroker to trace all orders with magic numbers.

I will post complete afl here as soon as it will be ready, but it can take some time. For now you can try it yourself via amibroker by creating the file and writing into it.

Once again, i'm not sure about filenames, since i haven't tried it yet, just giving you a hint how to...
Did anyone have success in writing this code for Amibroker?

I tried hard but I could not write this code. I think that the secret is in the fopen() and fputs() functions, but I don't know how to do this...

Could anyone give some help?

FYI, I have made three short videos that show a AmiBroker chart trading plug-in I've made.

It can be used for Interactive Brokers, Metatrader or any other API. http://is.gd/mKnwji

Are you going to share this or are you looking for help?

Neither one. It's just meant as inspiration. It's one of millions possibilities. For sharing it just like that it was too much work and selling makes no sense as I'm using it myself. Maybe sometimes in the future I'll make it public, don't know yet. Help ... currently no, as it is fully functional.

Does anyone know of any publicly disclosed Forex systems that have been demonstrably profitable when walk-forward-tested in Amibroker? I have been having a hard time finding anything that "works". I really like Larry Connor's books about "High Probability" systems for trading ETF's, and am looking for something similar for Forex. Just simple systems that can be back-tested and WF-tested. I would like to take a system that is known to work, and use it as a base to experiment with. Each time I have seen someone write AFL code to back-test a free system in Amibroker, it has revealed that the "system" did not work very well.

Hi, as a junior member I can not start a new thread and I guess this is the closest to my need.

Is there any available and reliable way to pass order from Amibroker to MT4?

Thank you in advance

Well sort of but not sure why you would want to do this. It can be done but I havne't tried it in a long long time since MT4 build changes lots of the EA's and scripts don't work anymore. Are you still looking for this functionality?
