FkMinimumMarginPercent < 500

Carefully going through the settings and I find this. Read the manual and I'm not sure about this. I'm in the US and have substantially less margin. Should I set this to my max margin? Currently it is 50:1.

Try this exercise.

Imagine an exciting new platform emerges that the brokers can afford to offer as an alternative to CrapperTrader4. It is brilliant. It works seamlessly. It is every traders' dream. It does not support all our work over the years in terms of ea/script/indi development.

Pour yourself a stiff drink. You are teetotal? Become un-teetotal; you will need to.

Take a couple of stiff slugs so you are nice and relaxed. You are in a warm and safe place.

Then ask me to learn a new coding language and rewrite: mptm; HGB; PPoS; ZP; my shells..................

If you manage to survive the reaction to that. have a quick word with Jose Luis.

And then Paul.

And Tommaso.

Need I continue?

At the risk of upsetting the Forum Owner (as we all know how that ends), I dare say that I do not share this sentiment at all. Empty4 is just a tool to enable automated trading and MQL4 is just a protocol/language to tell Empty4 what you want it to do. If truly a new tool becomes available that is brilliant and that is supported by our favourite brokers, I would not hesitate to roll up my sleeves and put in a few weekends (or more) of my time to convert the stack of code to the new tool/language (be it python, c# or java). I am in this game for the long haul and I don't want my chances to succeed in this game be limited by a certain tool that continues to disappoint. I appreciate that we have invested an awful lot of time, blood, sweat and tears in building the current MQL4 code library, but we have learned a lot of lessons (of what works and what doesn't) in the process. We can use this knowledge in the new tool to our advantage.

Not sure if this is a technical problem or a dimwit setting on my part.

I have Wavy Line Trading and RAD trading set to False. I noticed that with this set to False the EA still places the trades and then immediately deletes them.

Is this a setting?

Just restarted the server and the problem seems to have gone away.

I did have a quick look at the code and could see no reason for this to happen. Doesn't mean there isn't one - just that I couldn't see one.

using v 1k on daily charts and everytime EA takes a trade, it removes itself from the chart. All other currencies with EA stay on charts, but once trade is taken, it disappears from that chart.

Anyone else encounter this issue?

TIA,

FF

I noticed the same. I thought at first that it had something to do with the multitrades, because I was using 10 multitrades. I removed the multitrades completely and it looked fine, but after your post I checked and I saw that the ea was gone at two pairs, while it was still active on others. Don't know what the reason could be. I didn't encounter this issue while I was trading on the 15m timeframe, it looks like it occurs only on the daily timeframe.

Same here, but I don't think that was because of daily tf, this also occured on 4H tf. Most likely it affected by the lastest Crapquotes, so better check or modify the original EA&indi files.

started the new version of 16.07 with EA and for last 3 days it has said GLOBAL PROFIT TARGET REACHED and is not trading. I have cash profit target = 60, but it hasn't made any trades so not sure why it would say this and shut down the EA. Any ideas what settings I may have set off?
