That helped!  I found a script called sHistoryExport, http://www.mql5.com/en/code/1252, and modified that.  I got all time frames (H1, H4 & D1) to export from 1999-1-1 to present, but when I tried to do the same for M15 my charts stop at 2009-1-1.  I know for MT4 I had to go to History Download Center to download historical data, but I do not see anything similar in MT5

Back testing in the strategy Tester

Lee:

Question, How do I get clean tick data? I've heard other people taliking about it on various forums.

 I have some new EAs that I've had built and i've ran them through the strategy tester on MT4 when I run the exact same settings on the same EA on the same pair on different days I get different results. Also I have watched the price go through TP and SL (on the visual mode) by 20 plus pips and not close the trade.

I know back testing is not that accurate but I'm trying to get the best performing settings to run the EA live off. E.G. number of winning and losing trades in a row.

 

Cheers Lee 

Unfortunately, we can not use real tick data for backtesting in MT5, (read : not design that way):(

Hi all, sorry if the thread is not for here.
I'd like to ask what program language is the closest to MQL4 and MQL5, because I am also planing to learn Java, or C, or something like that, and I'd like to know which one is closest to MQL4 and 5
Pretty much C / C++

MT5 signals vs. MT4 signals

relaxtrading:

I've been checking both and definitely MT4 is more popular than MT5. Obviously MT4 has been for longer time and this is probably the main reason. In MT4 even strategies with losses have subscribers paying monthly fee. MT5 signal even with good historic result and decent curve, 0 subscribers 

I prefer MT5, the only thing that is missing is hedging option,  apart from that in my humble opinion is better platform.

Even though that some brokers offers both MT4 and MT5, they still offer and support MT4 first, and MT5 later.

I asked client service of some brokers, apparently some of them have not much knowledge on MT5, and direct me to head of client support instead.

Some broker, don't even mention that they have MT5, until I type the broker name in MT5, for example FXDD.

Yet.

If it more than a couple of days, contact one of the admins. 

Strange invalid stops problem when placing pending buy stop order

The open price of pending should far beyond STOP_LEVEL and/or FREEZE_LEVEL from the current Bid/Ask price

Does closing orders require enough money in the account to open the opposite position?

OK, great. Thanks for confirming it. It must be my code :-(

Thanks!

It is may worth to mention this is in documentation: "not working for forex" (which MT is primarily for).

thank you.

Hi mehrdad

  This syntax  for create object is not correct

ObjectCreate(chart_id_Pitchfork,name_Pitchfork,OBJ_PITCHFORK,nwin_Pitchfork,time1_Pitchfork,price1_Pitchfork
                ,time2_Pitchfork,price2_Pitchfork,time3_Pitchfork,price3_Pitchfork);

This syntax for create object 

bool  ObjectCreate(
   long         chart_id,      // chart identifier
   string       name,          // object name
   ENUM_OBJECT  type,          // object type
   sub_window   nwin,          // window index
   datetime     time1,         // time of the first anchor point
   double       price1,        // price of the first anchor point
   ...
   datetime     timeN=0,       // time of the N-th anchor point
   double       priceN=0,      // price of the N-th anchor point
   ...
   datetime     time30=0,      // time of the 30th anchor point
   double       price30=0      // price of the 30th anchor point

   );

Market Condition Evaluation based on standard indicators in Metatrader 5

Lyrical depression.

  • Some traders do not trade on Friday.
  • The other traders are saying that they do not want to trade on Monday too.
  • The other trades do not trade on Tuesday - they told that Tuesday's trend is continuation of the Friday's trend.
  • The other traders do not trade on summer.
  • Most of the traders do not trade in december and in January.

So, when to trade?

I have a somewhat profitable EA, I can target the longer trends with pretty good accuracy, however it is also sending signals during a trending market. What is the best way to detect a trending market? In the screenshot I would like to not send signals in market conditions highlighted by the red box. I would like to keep the signals in the blue boxes. Any advice is welcome, thanks in advance.
