Trivion replied Nov 12, 2023How far we've come... I distinctly remember the infamous MT4 builds 600 and above in 2014, when a lot of EAs and indicators stopped working after a major MQL4 language update.
End of MT4?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've seen those million dollar fake live accounts with some unknown broker. Looks like somebody got hold of a Metatrader license on the cheap to scam people.
Is this a genuine live account?

The best way is to run it on a demo/real account and see how it compares to the backtest, for the same period. BTW, the most recent period doesn't look great in the backtest. And the market is constantly changing. So don't get your hopes too high.

Well EURUSD immediately rose from 1.0718 to 1.0734. It's just that it was very short-lived. Probably because, for now, the euro is overbought already.

I'm pretty sure that the commission is always variable. If a certain broker has a commission of let's say 10 units of currency per Lot, for 0.50 lots it's going to be 5 units, for 0.10 lots it's going to be 1 unit. Are you sure you got that right? ...

For scalping 30:1 is definitely not a lot. I have way, way more than 100 or 1000 dollars. And I need around 100x to 200x leverage to trade comfortably. With 30x leverage I'll be making zero-point-nothing percent a month

If your real-time spread differs from the value in the MT4 tester this much, your backtesting results are VERY inaccurate. There are 2 options to get high-quality backtests. 1. MT4 + third party software that allows you to download tick data and ...
