Coming week's (2011-06-06 to 2011-06-10) performance is intentionally slowed.

Spain earthquake ! how much impact it will affect Euro. in Galvenais May 12, 2011 at 18:52

I believe the appreciation of a currency is largely due to people withdrawing what they can from the banks, for their post-disaster spending, and possibly fear that a run on the banks may occur.The thing is, Spain is only a part of the EU. Perhaps there might be some upward pressure on the EURUSD but I suspect it will be tepid.

Cent accounts showing up as Cent accounts in Vieta ierosinājumiem May 02, 2011 at 00:47

That's a good idea and appears to be fairly straightforward to implement, what with demo and live servers already being distinguishable.

Cent accounts showing up as Cent accounts in Vieta ierosinājumiem Apr 27, 2011 at 23:14

Is there a way to have Cent accounts showing up properly?I don't know how a Cent account statement is presented but surely AccountBalance() will show the actual amount of money?With the new system of polling data, can this is obtained?

To summarise:OrderStopLoss = AOrderOpenPrice = BStopLoss*Point=CA=B-Cif(A is not equal to B-C) <b>make</b> A equal to B-Ctest if A is now equal to B-COrderModify Error#1OrderModify Error#1OrderModify Error#1OrderModify Error#1......*faint*The point I would like to make is that OrderStopLoss() and OrderOpenPrice() are calculated differently by MT4. I do understand the computational limits of floating point numbers, but thank you for the links nonetheless, they are interesting and useful reads.And you must understand it from my perspective when I first came across it, I didn't kn...

I have to elaborate, immediately after my OrderSend, I successfully OrderModify byOrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),OrderOpenPrice()-StopLoss*Point,0,Red)Notice no NormalizeDouble.When I perform a check as in my previous post:if(OrderStopLoss()!=(OrderOpenPrice()-StopLoss*Point))OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),OrderOpenPrice()-StopLoss*Point,0,Red); //for buy orders}I get the OrderModify Error#1 that can only be resolved by writing this:if(OrderStopLoss()!=(OrderOpenPrice()-StopLoss*Point))OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),NormalizeDouble(OrderOpenPrice()-StopLoss*...

Good that we are discussing this as I feel I need to ask this. (Code has been truncated and simplified to leave out irrelevant bits)If you have:extern int StopLoss=30;Start(){if(OrderStopLoss()!=(OrderOpenPrice()-StopLoss*Point))OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),OrderOpenPrice()-StopLoss*Point),0,Red); //for buy orders}Why would anyone reason that OrderOpenPrice()-StopLoss*Point would generate a different number than OrderStopLoss()?It's a genuine bug.Another thing why I don't discuss code here is that there's no formatting available unlike in the other forums I mentioned ...

Formatting of mql4 code for posting in Vieta ierosinājumiem Apr 27, 2011 at 12:11

Would it be possible to add formatting for mql4 text, for easier viewing?e.g. http://forum.mql4.com/30672

The repository of coding information and congregation of coders is not as rich as on the mql4, ForexFactory, Forex-TSD, TradingSystemForex forums. I honestly don't get any coding information from here.The flooding of OrderModify attempts was logically unjustified. Error logs could not explain why 0.12345==0.12345 was not true. I had thought it was something endemically wrong with my code and I spent a LOT of time rewriting stuff and still couldn't work around it, hence the hair pulling.In my case, it was specifically to do with the floating point of the Double variable OrderStopLoss() ...

Yes, I see where you're coming from. It is always interesting to study other posters' statements.However, while I do keep a massive number of workfiles and a large changelog, I'm not prepared to publicly post that information. I don't see any upside doing so, apart from perhaps satisfying some peoples' curiosity but that's not my objective. The potential downside, however, is large, for reasons people who have seen dealing desks being operated physically would know.I would make my live accounts public were I advertising to be a manager but I'm not. And neither am I ...

Just because the information is not valuable to you does not make it so. You surely must realise that this wonderful website is not here only for your own benefit?Your opinion and disappointment is duly noted, I just don't think I'm the one to be addressing it. There is a "Report" button the corner right of each post and if you feel strongly enough about it, you can click it.However, for all the browsing I've done on this site, I see it is policed quite well and spam does not appear to be flood it. And when I do see a post that I do not feel compelled to read, I scroll pa...

@spekiv11f is more risky than v15Jz. It looks quite good but it's better to minimise exposure to unpredictable events.Yes, you're right, it would be a good thing to add a counter for attempts and limit it to X number. I'll work something in.I've been live since 2008 and am currently trading not too small accounts.@forexmaYou can't be seriously bothered by me writing to myself? If you are, surely you could save yourself time by closing the window and not write back. You are actively seeking to antagonise yourself, which is bizarre.Comments/logs can't be posted in private...

Wow, you're quite mean. Yes, I am a struggling coder.I find it generally not a smart thing to test code on a live account. Case in point, the above-mentioned floating point issue caused an OrderModify Error#1 on every tick, this would have flooded the live server and likely make an account flagged. This would not be a good thing.My comments are more for my own timestamped log, if they could be posted in a private account, I would make it so.On a related note, the irony here is there is more real money being handled than the sum of the public demos posted. ;)

2011-04-27 Updated to v15 Jz. Came across infamous OrderModify floating point error, almost ripped my hair out.

Apologies if I came across as pedantic. Seen too many people equating the 'Risk' settings of EA's as '% of balance risked per trade'. And also other myfxbook posters labelling their accounts as the name of a particular EA when it is not the case, or not running the EA with the proper settings and blowing the account, giving the impression that the EA is bad.

Hi GFT,That's great that you have MT4 now. I tried the links but they do not work."Application ErrorNo application type was specified, please verify that the URL for this application is correct.The application administrator has been notified. We apologize for the inconvenience."

Does this mean that GFT will have MT4 soon?

Risk setting of 7.5 does not equate to 7.5% max risk per trade event. Look at your 1st trade event at 2001-02-24, assuming that there is no modification of SL levels and that 6 average down positions is the maximum, you're looking at a maximum DD of -23% in the worst case scenario. See attachment. That said, I see from historical performance that the worst case scenario has yet to happen(by inference, is rare?) And of course, there may be other hedging logic that may come into play.And another note, I see that you have a stray GBPUSD trade at 1.0 lot. For the sake of being fair to TulipFX,...

What's terrible about it is that they used a free review copy. Dishonest and cheap. How low can you go?And are these real people or actors?
