condition block - specify currency pair

[andyduvall]

Hello,

I'm trying to put a sort of pair trade EA together where it should buy one currency pair and short another currency pair.
To specify a certain currency pair do you have to type the currency pair in the "Market" field under 'more settings' or can you choose from a drop down box somewhere ?

Thanks
Andrew

Yes. There is no dropdown for this parameter because different brokers use different market names.

Hi,

Thanks for that.
In the Market field I've typed GBPUSD for a BUY & EURUSD for a SELL.
When I clicked the .ex5 to download, it gave some errors, such as semicolon is missing and double quotes are missing. So I then changed the fields to "GBPUSD"; & "EURUSD"; but it still generates those errors.
Is that the correct way to input the currency pairs manually?

This works really well manually in MT5. Even when the daily goes completly the wrong way you're saved on the M5 retracements.

Oops, there was a bug...

Write the name of the market as is shown in MetaTrader, for example EURUSD. Only these 6 letters and nothing more. And by the way, MT4 cannot backtest more than one market.
