Where to get the list of all trading pairs?

$

Hi there,

I would like to get a list of all trading pairs aka Symbol via loop. But can`t find more info about how this pairs is stored ... For example the result of SymbolName function. But struggling to find the information what data structure or type I should iterate to achieve this. For example to get time frames I could iterate the enum TIME_FRAMES. Hope the question is clear :)

Money management based on Turtle System

Hi everyone.

Does anyone know how can I add a money management strategy based on the turtle system to my EA?

It is, if X event happen, then.. open long/short with lot size according to the following formula:

Lot size Unit= (0,01x Account Balance) /(Contract Size x ATR (20) x Dollar Pip Value)

Then open 3 orders of the same lot size and on the same direction every 1/2 ATR. No stop loss and no take profit.

Thanks!

RaptorUK:
Perhaps it is a UAC issue,  try installing in a folder other than Program Files,  for example C:\MT4Installs\  

 

Thanks for the explanation and suggestion.

Tried new installs of Metatrader 5 to "C:\MetaTrader 5 (2nd)\"  and Metatrader 4 to "C:\MetaTrader 5 (2nd)\MQL5\Files\MT4\", but still having the same errors when running the "copyist positions" script. My operating system is Windows 8.

I'm thinking it might what the "Translator positions" file is doing as it does not seem to write a file for "copyist positions" to read. I might have to break down a learn a little mql5 to understand it. It seems like the "copyist_positions" script would be better suited as an EA rather than a script. I have an MT4 to MT4 trade copier which works great. I'm having a hard time finding a MT5 to MT4 trade copier that works.

 

is threre any EA trading on GOLD or SILVER ?

How to Start with Metatrader 5

newdigital:
Just found good, old and very interesting indicator by famous coder (KimIV) in CodeBase - i-Friday_Sig. It is very interesting and proven concept behind the creation of this indicator. I will describe about it tomorrow.

Author of indicator (and the idea) is KimIV who proposed the following: Friday's price is going against the trend which was during the whole week. He analyised some data and came to this strange conclusion.

Fow now we can understand why many traders do not want to trade on Friday - trend (and the market condition in general) may not be continuation of the trend which we saw on the other day of the week for example.

There are few versions of profitable EA based on this indicator and this idea. By the way, this "Friday Trend" (or effect of Friday) indicator is not the last one with this idea - there are some more similar indicators and EAs: i-Monday signal indicator and EA, and more.

I was talking about those 2 indicators (attached). At least one indicator should be converted to MT5 with some improvements: NRTR Color Line indicator. If someone can do it for free so please upload MT5 version to this thread. If not so I will make an entrance to Job service.

But asctrend system is not about one indicator. There are few indicators for this system.



I am already ask some coder to convert this NRTR Color Line indicator to MT5 so we will have this indicator for asctrend system soon I hope, Just for information.

EA backtesting vs real life

$
0

According to my experience - backtesting results can not be a proof that EA is profitable. Especially for now when we may see some complicated/complex EAs such as tick scalpers or EAs using close bar together with open bar (in indicators' icustom for example) and so on.

Besides, past performance is not guarantee of future performance.

Of course, there are some EAs which are performing same with backtesting. But market is changed all the time so if the strategy or EA is remaining the same one without improvements for 1 year for example so no any "good backtesting" will help with this situaion.

Load XML in EA - Array

Ive done some research on the topic. But the only 'recent' thing i could find was a script from 2011.11.29 13:46
http://www.mql5.com/en/code/712

 But it gives me a lot of errors (very a lot) when i load it up to MetaEditor.

So i thought maybe  there is now a standard function implemented to load a XML feed now 2 years later?

 

Edit: to fast to a post.. i can convert it to a csv and then open it in OpenFile() option. This will do i think

/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#/#

 

But now ive to set arrays to variables. But what is the right way?

// make starting array
double buy_time[];
double buy_type[];

int OnInit()
  {
// set array information

  ArrayResize(buy_time,8);
  ArrayResize(buy_type,8);
  
   ArrayFill(buy_time, 1, 1, "2012.01.19 10:45:00");
   ArrayFill(buy_type, 1, 1, "1"); 

// and so on
// something like, like php..

   buy_time[1] = "2012.01.19 10:45:00";
   buy_type[1] = "2";

   buy_time[2] = "2012.01.20 14:15:00";
   buy_type[2] = "2";

   buy_time[3] = "2012.01.21 08:45:00";
   buy_type[3] = "1";

   buy_time[4] = "2012.01.21 14:15:00";
   buy_type[4] = "2";

   buy_time[5] = "2012.01.21 15:45:00";
   buy_type[5] = "1";

   buy_time[6] = "2012.01.22 09:45:00";
   buy_type[6] = "1";

   buy_time[7] = "2012.01.26 15:45:00";
   buy_type[7] = "2";
}

void OnTick()
  {
         for(int q=1;q<7;q++) 
           {
            if(buy_time[q]>TimeCurrent() -30 && buy_time[q]<TimeCurrent()+30) 
              {
               if(buy_type[q]== "1") 
                 {
                 Print("start long trade");
                    } else {
                 Print("start short trade");
                 }
              }
           }
        }
}

This is BrainTrading system which already converted to MT5. But coder used dots for 2 signal indicators mistakenly ... it should be the following: one indicator is with arrow and the other one is with dot. Anyway - we have it for MT5 and we need just small improvements:



Discussion of article "How to Subscribe to Trading Signals"

When subscribing to a signal, there are a lot of configuration options that have to be selected in MT4. Where can I find detailed instructions on how to enable the subscription to a signal from MQL5 and configure the various Options in MT4? 


Also, I have subscribed to a number of signals. After MT4 receives the signals and attempts a few trades, in which the symbols are not found, the signal is quickly disabled. Where can I go to learn the things that will automatically disable my signal subscriptions?
