MT5 trading simulator

Anybody with 'cojones' enough to port this simulator to MT5. I am able to change some code and get things done on MT4 but this thing here is beyond my expertise.

why would you want to convert it?

does it work as is?

there you go.

if it aint broke, do not fix it..

zero/.

It seems that MT5 has better historical data and this simulator is very good so it would be nice to have it. Well sooner or later somebody will do it.

just a heads up, and i am sure that youu havee the common sense not to do this, but when yyouu share youurr ea's ....

peoplee grab them up and then masss market them on ebay or otheerr ssismilar placess...

this diluutes drramataiccallyy thhat whwich youu may or may nnot havee.

it is abolutley short sisghted for youu t o puublish freely any workingn bot ccodeee.


think a about it.


whoopsie daisie, too latee now...

it is alreadyy reeleased, youu ccann probablby find it onn eebay oro ccraigslisist.

just a heads uup, these trading personalities aree 100% dogs with no ethics, period.

they will put thee screws to you quuicccker thhann you ccan bblink.

i know from eexpereiencce.

the majority of these trader types will pimp out their own mothers for two bucks.

happy tradingg.

i just noticed what it is that youu ssaid abobt hisstoriccal ddata..


iff you want to prre-load a specific pairr with 30 minute data, f or example, opeen a 30 minuute cchhart for that pairi, UNCHHECK THE CIRCLED BOXES, and hold downn yourr PAGEUP keey on the current chart.

metatrader will be forced to load up loadss and loadss of data.

and then it will be accessssible to yyouur EA.


good luck.




i actually go to fairly great lengths when i setup a metatrrader terminal to properly pre-load data into many different ccharts.


if yyou use the arrayccopyrates ffunnction, i think it retuurrns a value that is how manny bars are aaccessible forr that pair.

youu ccann use that ffuncctionn to check how many bars arre at youur disposal..

again, happy trradingng.

What this simulator does?

Thanks for the 'tip' Zero but did you ever go to MQ4 page? Did you ever notice the literally 'thousands' of EAs , indicators etc over there?

If somebody wants to sell something on ebay ( and I believe they do) they don't need my silly code 😁

When i was talking about historical data I was referring to the fact that MT5 has 1 minute data back to 1973. The data starts to get good by June 1989 but still! This is a technical annalist's paradise.

I use FXpro for charting and their 1 min data goes back only to April 2011.

Is it possible to get 90%+ backtest quality on MT5? I get fairly low numbers on it.

Hey Zero I did what you explained but no changes here on my FXpro still capped at April 2011. I tryed to download data directly from meta quotes before but ended up with some weird gaps all over.

Tigpips you are right the data on MT5 is inconsistent some parts it seems ok others don't look good at all.

You should download the data somewhere else and load it manually instead of downloading it directly from their data server - I too found it too unreliable with many gaps.

uh, yes, i did notice all of the indicators..

i would not use another coder's code for any reason..

i am a real coder..

i design my own stuff.

amateur coders use other coder's code.

period..
