I changed the MaxOverallTrades to 15 to see if that would increase the amount of trades per day, but no change yet.

I am thinking is due to insufficient margin.

Thanks in advance if someone points me in the right direction.

If you "think" it is the margin just take a look how much free margin you have, the EA requests OOTB (in the not changed setup it comes with) more than 500% for opening trades, you can change this with the input FkMinimumMarginPercent ...

Cheers

Tommaso thank you very much, super helpful!

Is there a way to update all my EAs at once when I make a change to all like this?

Yup, very useful is the:
"Copy template to all charts" script
In Steve's zip file of scripts for HGB or in useful indis etc thread

Hi SteveHopwood, and first, thanks for your hard work. This message is to notify some things:

"the indi will open all the charts in alphabetical order, with the same time frame and template as the chart you dragged it on to."

Empty4 (build 765) crash when i try to do this, and I have no difference if I open 1 or 24 charts.

Expert Advisors and DLL imports are allowed, as you have described
I have a fresh Empty4 4 install, HGB in /Expert
HGI_v16.04 and Open Charts in Alphabetical Order Indicator in /Indicators
Charts Into Alphabetical Order script in /Script
Bob's templates in /templates

Other:

HGB search for HGI_v16.05 (last available for us is 16.04) however, it is easy to change the string

anyhow, I think this is just a way to speed up the opening of 28 charts, is that correct?

I'm trying the EA and it seems to work properly

And you didn't read the manual...

I have read and reread that page. What build of Empty4 are you using?

p.s. I apologize for my English

Post by **retireme** » Thu Mar 12, 2015 2:25 pm

Same build as you, but I don't dismiss what was written in the manual...

if you use 7xx you are stuffed for most things, so do it the hard way and stop bleating

Your english is fine

I appreciate your answers, but I do not understand what you mean.

I opened the 28 windows manually, uploading 28 times the same profile. Perhaps you're referring to this

Post by **retireme** » Thu Mar 12, 2015 2:38 pm

Exactly what I am referring too, if you use 7.xx then many things just don't work so you need to follow the manual route. Complaining to SHF is not going to help you, only CrapperMT4 is responsible. Complaining about your platform and version after it is pointed out that it is CRAP, will only get you sent to the back of the class.

I know how tedious the task is but I have no other option, and neither do you!
