New Trading Simulator, Gain Experience Faster

Hello,
I used to use this simulator last year, it's very good! A big thanks to the uploader. I got a new laptop a few days ago and downloaded this simulator today but it's not appearing in my scripts folder, any ideas? I've been at it for hours now & I'm getting frustrated and I'm about to give up. Someone said it's because of the new MT4 built.
Your help will be highly appreciated!

Chisha100,

if your using the MT4 version 6, you need to go in to the folder called MQL4 and inside that youll find the folders for expert. copy it into that folder and you should be right.

Just found this and it's working great, the only thing i like to ask is can you open more than 1 trade at a time? cause i can't seem to be able to do that. if someone can shed some light it would be great.

Many thanks

Hey guys, I was using this simulator last year and its very good. I got a new laptop but unfortunately I cant load this onto the new 600 built of MT4,any ideas?

Thanks for your reply Kien!!
One more question, when I find the experts folder in MQL4 which folder of the simulator am I copying? is it the one that says place contents in experts or the one that says contents into experts scripts? A detailed reply will be much appreciated!

MT4 UPDATED THERE SOFTWARE AND YOU MIGHT BE HAVING TROUBLE SETTING UP THIS SIMULATOR, HERE'S HOW TO DO IT

What you're supposed to do is open your platform, go to file, scroll down to open data folder and then go to MQ4L then open the experts folder and then copy and paste the LFH Trading_Simulator_3ex4 Turn off your platform and turn it back on, click on the strategy tester and go to expert adviser, it should give you three options including the LFH Trading Simulator now you're ready to go!

One more thing, make sure you paste the contents that says experts scripts from one of the files that come with the simulator into the scripts folder of your MT4

i can get the simulator to work but i see no sell lot. is very hard and anoying to sell and buy. how do you do that? is there any way to do this work like in reality with sell and close?

Hey !
Is there any shortcut to " print " directly the next candle ??
Specially in H4 setups it needs minutes to get in my right " tradingtime " ( London open to early US ).
I already and I use the fastest ( 32 ) setting on every tick .
Only controlpoints are not suitable to my trading .. too noisy ..
Kind regards , Guido.

Hi,

I'm very new to this site and also on Forex. I set up this nice tool and I want to know if I can set up the spreads

Thanks,
Montela

and also If I stop the simulator (using pause) and I want to make an order price is still moving and I think is related with real market not with the my simulator. In my sim the price is very different compared with the one I can make orders.

simulator is running BUT the box to enter trades is not there. I can not it!... What Is wrong

kennkann: Please read Trade_Simulator_setup.pdf before asking this totally wrong question. It is much more faster then asking. In trading u have to work hard. Nobody gives you all on table ready. But author of this scripts was very kind! Thanks to him!

perfect simulator but for some reason when I double click on the script to open a trade(simulation) and enter the targetsize,target,stop and click Ok it doesn't open any trade for me. I noticed the the scripts are have got a grey mark next to them (screen shot)


I followed the instructions twice and I don't think Im missing anything
would appreciate any feedback

It just says waiting for update and never updates. I'm trying to do 4 months. Any suggestions?

need help. I can open buy and sell, but can't close any trade, either wait till it hit the SL or TP; or stop the simulation.

I read the PDF. Seems to ALMOST work. I can't get any orders executed...whether I double-click on the script in the nav window or if I attempt to drag onto my chart. Anyone else have this issue? Would really like to use this. Otherwise, might have to pay $200 bucks for ForexTester 2

The spread is amazingly set to 11 pips.... how do we change that?

A trilogy I own on my Kindle PC is these 3 books by Anna Coulling. She talks about volume and price, together, as volume-price...just like this thread. Each book was $5 bucks each. Very cheap for the amount of quality learning you get!

1) Complete Guide to Volume Price Analysis (VPA)
2) Forex for Beginners
3) A 3-Dimensional Approach to Forex Trading (technical charts, news and correlated markets)

Hello to my old and new Forex friends, from Contactlag. Back in the mid 80's I use to trade in the Forex market and since then, had to put it on hold as both of my parents were deathly ill and now since have past away. As we all here know,...you need to concentrate on your charts and trades. Back then I started with a demo and then trades with real money. I won and I lost, knowing that it take, not a Newbie, but a pro-like trader to make it on the Forex. As stated, I left my Forex trading for family reasons, but now I'm back.

Then,...I back tested using MT4...back tester. What I didn't like back then, was getting constant calls from my Forex broker, "when will I start demoing" and then "When will I deposit more funds". It was pressuring, under my circumstances. Back then, I don't think we had a trade 'simulator' or at lest, I don't remember of one. So you could imagine how I felt when I saw this post from Quantem. Does this mean I can back test and work on my trades using old dated data? And without having the pressure from your broker breathing down your back?

But downloading this 'Simulator', I noticed I had to have a brokers downloaded linked data to make this Simulator work? Then here is my question to all my Forex Traders.....Is there free data I can uses with this Simulator? And if there is, how do I input such data and make this work? Before all this... I have looked into the net for 'Free Forex Data Service, but have not found and answer to my question. If anyone know where and how, please lead me there and thanks.
