RE: Put the indicator code directly into the EA.posted in Questions & Answers
Not easily: There is a binary type for variables and you can then writefile.. then icustom/load the file written as appropriate. Could all be done in custom code but not easy stuff really..
You can also export as MQL5 from fxdreema then use an include to include the whole indicator.. compile in your local mt5 editor, this is likely easier path..

RE: How to change minimum lot size from 0.01 to 0.001?posted in Questions & Answers
@mr-lenny I think we'll all encounter same problem wherever those lot sizes are available.. a very rare scenario indeed it seems as it stands, but would be good to have solved..I've lots of mt5 accounts across lots of brokers and never seen that before! rare!

RE: Entering a number to a variable during active tradingposted in Questions & Answers
@simonfx and by now ten or so real accounts 245, too... so am sure happy with outcome of testing thus far. I apply ITIL/Agile methodologies to my approach but yes more testing regime is very welcome!! I'll look into that Visual Backtest and again, thank you. I did find backtesting useful for bots that are fully automated back when I was blowing myself up alot lol

RE: Entering a number to a variable during active tradingposted in Questions & Answers
@jstap I use demo accounts and call ontick with ontimer on weekends
I'm not sure that will work for me.. but I'd love to get it going if I can pretend to real time trade with what you call .. Visual backtest? If on chart doesn't work.. not much good to me.I'm not automating much, just making metatrader actually user friendly is my aim here. not a full automated solution, semi.

RE: Entering a number to a variable during active tradingposted in Questions & Answers
@jstap um right, yeah, my view not include back testing..
indeed ontick could be used, too. I like on chart cause it's cheaper performance wise and only doing what it has to on event.. but yes, ontick is fine too. I think we sure covered, the answer is yes!
So that leads to.. couldn't imagine needing to change the variable contents on fly from a human interface input during back testing.
Probably I'm not understanding how it could be used in back test, everytime I try it processes ten years in minutes.. no chance to work with input fields there.
Gosh, If I wanted my bot to work in backtesting I'd have so much to re-write come to think of it now that you point that out.. oh well, I'm happy to tell punters it don't work in back testing lol thanks for that clarification.

RE: Entering a number to a variable during active tradingposted in Questions & Answers
I can confirm that variable/input data can be overwritten using modify variables and an edit field on the chart.
I capture the input into the edit field in onchart, with 'edit field modified' event > modify variables ( based on object on the chart..)

@l-andorrà All things are worth to be traded, just depends when

The glory of MT5, imho, is one can open ten accounts, spreading risk across brokers (in case of a black swan) .. and comparing them real time.
I wouldn't trade coins with anyone but Eightcap that said.. please tell them Simon sent you. They genuinely have spreads that have made the coins actually worth while.. and leverage is good. It's likely they won't serve US customers however..
Some other brokers are taking the opportunity (advent of coins) to produce instruments with such wide spread, trucks could drive through them haha..
I just love Admirals Reversed Quotes and I wish all MT5 brokers would do that!! but oh well, we can program same logic into FXDreema. Getting rid of these messages on startup is one of the last parts of polish to a completed robot here.. I hope someone can help. same robot works across all the brokers and all the instruments, means I'm not looking for the one "great broker" ... seems to me they're all great at something.. generally. This will be because the LPs behind them spread their best deals across their retail customers (the brokers)... again, generally speaking.
Indeed, this log thing I'm wrestling with is something deep within (fxdreema) so I fear only admin might be able to help..
PS I find the coins stressful, commodities is easiest.. imho. money to be made if you can let go and let robot.. that said.
