I want to know whether expert advisors remain active (will keep doing what they're supposed to do) even when mt4 is closed, internet got disconnected and even when my laptop is shut down (my mt4 is in my laptop)? thanks

the function start() is fired every time a new tick comes in, right? but how to make a function that fires everytime a new swap rate (once a day) comes in? because depending on the value of swap rate, I want the EA to initiate or close a position. thanks

how does strategy tester work? does the mt4 platform store all the price quotes from previous trading days and the order they appear? or do they only store the highs and lows from previous trading days? thanks

Sorry, but I'm still a little bit confused about what I should do if candlestick pattern shows a bullish continuation, while chart pattern shows bearish reversal. basically I want to know how to handle contradicting signals. thanks

I have several questions: 1. what's the difference between candlestick patterns (engulfing, harami, etc) and chart patterns (falling wedge, head and shoulders, etc)? how do they relate to each other? or are they not related at all? 2. how do we determine support resistance zones? 3. what is...

thank you very much. this is very useful.

thanks for the reply. so, in short, 1.0001 until 1.0003 will never be printed and doProcess() will be executed only once? also, if the code is modified to this: int start(){ Alert(Bid); doProcess(); Alert(Bid); return(0); } and the case is the same, 3 ticks while doProcess() is...

Thanks very much for the reply, NVP. I've been reading books about price action, patterns, and so on, but when applying to charts, I find simply guessing with my instinct (without adhering what the books said) yielded greater profit than when making trade decision based on candlestick pattern...

are you being sarcastic here? if you do, go elsewhere, don't troll here. This is where people try to share knowledge. if you don't, please explain why zero? are you saying that trading forex will ALWAYS result in loss with no possibility of profit? thanks NVP, that's under 10%. Is this true...

I'm still lurking in forex trading and I wish to know the profit level from trading forex. let's say you start with USD 5000, how much will the balance be after one year of trading (assuming you're an intermediate trader, already familiar with candlestick patterns, stochastic, fibo and so on)...

I've heard a lot about people who trades only using candlestick chart with no indicators whatsoever. How do you do this? what's the recommended timeframe for this? I use Japanese candlestick patterns listed in Candlesticker by Americanbulls.com - Candlesticks , but most of the time, no patterns...
