LMAX - Overnight charges both ways on all pairs

Maximum overkill Close-All script

@lddd, lol, exactly!! Hedging is a silly concept but there is firm mindset out there that believes a loss is not a loss until you close a trade. I don't agree with this mindset as I believe that all that matters is equity(not balance), so if you ...

Maximum overkill Close-All script

I need help with my function please

I can't comment on whether you were notified or not but I'm kinda surprised you were not aware.......as you mentioned, it has been general knowledge for 5 months now. What I will say, is the fact that you 'lost' $15k due to being forced to close ...

Forced to close my account

1. You cannot have a negative index for an array. The program will terminate with an array out of range error. 2. In theory, your understanding is correct, however, looking at the code in Q1(and assuming the code is Q2 is a subset of Q1 code, as it ...

Function inquiry

Basic questions about buying and selling currency pairs

As Ahrt suggested, this is possible using a sql database. I would suggest, though, that the hassle factor far outweighs the benefit. How often does your VPS go down that this is an issue for you. My VPS hardly ever goes down and when it does, it is ...
