Some very basic MQL4 help for a newbie please

Yup, your code starts, opens the trades, then starts from the top again.. nothing checks to see if existing trades were opened. If you're going to be sending out a lot of orders on a lot of different pairs at once, probably best to check on a symbol ...

It's probably being looped by the main instance of the EA.. what's the code surrounding this? Do you have anything that checks for existing orders, and if present, skips the steps of opening new ones?

I think it's a bit of a running satire about how this thread gets when all's well with the broker (dull and dry save for the odd question here and there.) I understand though if you're only looking for pertinent info when you see a new post, but the ...

MT4? You don't setup a demo on MT4 itself. You create an fxTrade account then create an MT4 subaccount to use with MT4. They do all user authentication on their fxTrade servers. Oanda's MT4 is just a bridge for trade processing and doesn't do ...

Yuck, analyst double talk.. icky..

The "decent" requirement is going to be a problem. Kiddin... there are a few good ones. Your trading style might make it easier to narrow it down though. And is there any requirement for MT4 or another platform/tool?

Me too.. and the real kick in the pants is such girls that don't care for fine living are usually the ones you want to keep around in the long run. (They stick around if things get bad, since they care about you more than what your job provides.)

Is this the reason why you don't want to share your Holy Grail?

If the SL box is red in your history, the price was hit via the quote.. just make sure you're looking at the right quote number (bid vs ask) for your position, people make this mistake all the time since they visually look at the chart and think ...

Yup, demo is great to learn a platform and such, but it's not quite the same as live for actual trading conditions. In any case, having not ever heard of, nor experienced, something like this live.. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Yay, major news coming up in ~2 hours, plus more 3 hours after that. Turning the algo off for the evening I guess, just managing the last position to flatten out fully now. I'm indirectly proving why liquidity drys up so much during news releases.. ...

While I've been forward testing some stuff on demo lately, I haven't run into this problem myself. I just recall 1-2 other people from a while ago mentioning they had this issue (that is, when it wasn't them mixing up the bid and ask quotes and ...

Yes, when MT4 has an order that's triggered for execution (by price) it turns the box yellow. That is correct. Again, it's just a demo bug, it doesn't happen live to my knowledge. Question: Which demo are you using? The old system or the new Edge?

Pepperstone Forex

For whatever reason, demo accounts sometimes do that (but not a frequent thing, just a random bug.) (Green icon near your account number == demo, gold == live.) It doesn't happen on live accounts. At least, I have never heard of anyone having that ...

Hah.. I don't really have a taste in music as refined as Ramy. I'd probably just clutter the thread up with Depeche Mode, Smashing Pumpkins and some electronica. Hope you're well bud. Happy trading this week!
