Help with MT5
-
Hi fellow fxdreemers,
I'm having trouble getting any EA to work using MT5.
I've made heaps with MT4 with no problems, but cannot get anything to work if build with MT5.
Live or strategy tester just nothing happens.
Could someone please have a look at this very simple MACD Sell EA example and see if works on their MT5, or if you can see why it doesn't work.
Many thanks boys and girls,
Jim

Hey TipsyWisdom,
Thanks for your reply but still doesn't take any trades!?!
Does it work on your MT5?
I can't get any EA created with fxdreema to work on MT5 - yet all my MT4 ones are fine.
Dunno WTF... -
its the macd indicator. i dont use indicators much but i changed it to value 1, and changed which line and it traded
-
I remember seeing somewhere, maybe even at the suggestion of Mr Dreema himself, not you use MACD because the MACD built into Metatrader is hot garbage.

@tipsywisdom Yep it works now - thanks for your help mate.
I have been having trouble with all my EAs in MT5 so I reinstalled MT5 and just quickly made that MACD to test - when it didn't work I incorrectly assumed it was some other problem. But luckily you sorted me out.
Thanks TipsyWisdom you are a gentleman and a scholar! -
@jim67 No problem at all!
I'm the kind of person that typically jumps into shit and disregards the instruction manual...but the 2 sections that Mr Dreema has built, I think "How to" and "instruction," should really be combed through. ESPECIALLY the section about what-not-to-do. I didn't get into that thing for probably 6 months of being on Dreema. Wish I would have earlier, it saved me a lot of pain.
Another guy on my discord group is also working out a lot of nuances as he was strictly MT4 too.
