That's pretty frustrating. I faced something similar when my broker switched platforms. I found a solution by checking out https://www.earnforex.com/forex-brokers/, which helped me find brokers still supporting MT4/MT5.
As for copying trades from MT4 to DXTrader, you might need a trade copier EA. Unfortunately, I haven't found a platform like fxDreema for DXTrader yet. It's tough to say if this is the end for MT platforms, but it does seem like more brokers are moving on.

What you're looking for is like having a "trading assistant" that can handle multiple currency pairs and their indicators at the same time. I remember trying something similar in the past, where I set up an EA to analyze different currency pairs simultaneously. It worked like a charm, like having a team working for you while you enjoy your morning coffee.

When you're tinkering with your trading setup, look for the "If/Then" block in your automation platform. This nifty tool acts as your trading buddy, following your commands. Set it up to say, "If operation hits profit, then initiate new operation with same take profit."

Once, when I was working on a project, I ran into a similar issue. Turns out, there was maintenance happening in the background that wasn't announced. I reached out to support and they confirmed it. I'd suggest shooting them a quick message just to double-check.

Well, you seem to be trying to set up a trading strategy based on RSI crosses and rounding numbers. If I understand correctly, you want to buy when RSI crosses above 30 and rounds to 2? For the condition where RSI crosses once but doesn't buy, you should specify additional criteria or refine your logic. Double-check your code for any errors or inconsistencies in the conditions.

Hey! You can take the unrealized take profit block and convert it into a dynamic horizontal line for your grid system on the chart. You'd need to extract the take profit value and then plot it as a horizontal line at that level on your chart. This can help you visualize potential profit targets within your grid system.

Hey. To adjust the lot size of the sell position when the buy take profit is hit, you can use the PositionGetDouble(POSITION_VOLUME) function to get the current volume of the sell position, then calculate half of it and use PositionSetDouble(POSITION_VOLUME) to update the volume accordingly. Hope I helped!

Hello. You can just replace var1, var2, etc., with your actual variable names, and add them together using the + operator. Hope this helps.

Hi. One thing that worked for me was double-checking the block models in the code. Even a tiny typo can throw the whole thing off.

Hi. What worked for me was manually coding it into my trading strategy using platforms like TradingView or MetaTrader. It's a bit more hands-on, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes second nature. There are plenty of tutorials online to guide you through the process.

That sounds frustrating. I faced something similar when my broker switched platforms.

Have you checked your code syntax for any errors? Sometimes a small typo can throw off the whole function. Also, make sure your conditions are properly set up and your indicators are functioning correctly.

I once experimented with a similar concept in my trading journey. It was like reading the weather – switching gears when the wind changed direction. While I didn't use an EA, I manually adjusted my trades based on candle shifts. It added a dynamic element to my approach, keeping me on my toes.

The code you provided calculates the take profit price for a strategy using the Martingale approach. Here’s a breakdown:
NormalizeDouble() ensures that the value is within the allowed range of double values in MQL4/MQL5.
last_open(OP_BUY) gets the Open price of the last opened buy order.
TakeProfitPointPOINTX is a constant that represents the take profit value in points.
Digits is the number of decimal places used for the symbol’s price.
Calculation:
The take profit price is calculated by adding the TakeProfitPointPOINTX value (in points) to the Open price of the last buy order and then normalizing the result to ensure it’s within the allowed range.

Hi there! To adjust the lot size based on the RSI level when buy trade conditions are met, follow these steps:
Calculate the RSI value for the current timeframe using the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator.
Determine the appropriate lot size to use based on the RSI level:
For RSI levels between 20-30, use lot size X.
For RSI levels above 50, use lot size Y.
For RSI levels above 70, use lot size Z.
Open the buy order with the calculated lot size.

To upload product files to the MQL5 Sellers Area, follow these steps:
Log in to your MQL5 account and click on “Sell Products” in the top menu.
Click on the “Add New Product” button.
Select the “Product Type” as “Source Code.”
Fill in the product details, including the product name, description, price, and category.
Click on the “Browse” button to select the source code file you want to upload.
Once the file is selected, click on the “Upload” button.
Note: Your source code file must be in a ZIP archive before uploading.

Row mode in the Bulls in a Row block specifies how the block counts consecutive candles that meet a specified condition. There are two options for row mode:
True: Counts consecutive candles from the current candle to the past.
False: Counts consecutive candles from the current candle to the future.
Candle ID in Bulls in a Row Block:
The Candle ID input in the Bulls in a Row block allows you to specify the candle on which the block should start counting consecutive candles. This is useful when you want to count consecutive candles from a specific point in time or from a specific candle pattern.

Some brokers may have restrictions on the use of EAs or certain trading strategies. Check with your broker to ensure that they allow the use of EAs and the specific strategy you are using. Make sure that you are using the EA on the correct account type. Some EAs may not be compatible with certain account types, such as managed accounts or PAMM accounts. Ensure that the EA is attached to the correct symbol and timeframe on the live account. Live market conditions can introduce slippage, which can affect the EA’s performance and execution. The data feed on the live account may be different from the data used in the tester or demo account. This can lead to differences in the EA’s behavior.

To ensure that your EA opens trades at the specified time, regardless of price movement, you can use the following approach:
// This code ensures that the EA opens trades at the specified time, regardless of price movement.
// Get the current time.
time_current = TimeCurrent();
// Check if the current time matches the specified time.
time_target = '01:13:55'; // Set the target time (1:13:55 AM/PM)
time_target_seconds = TimeFromString(time_target);
if(time_current == time_target_seconds) {
// If the current time matches the target time, open a trade.
OpenTrade(...)
}
The code first gets the current time. It then checks if the current time matches the specified target time. If the current time matches the target time, the code opens a trade using the OpenTrade() function (not shown in the code).

Even though you did not explicitly set a pair in your EA, it is possible that there is a hardcoded symbol somewhere in the code. Check the code carefully for any references to BTCUSD. The strategy tester in MT4 may be using different data for BTCUSD and GBPUSD. This could lead to differences in the candlesticks and the identification of 4 bulls in a row. If you are using a different broker for GBPUSD, there may be differences in the way the data is streamed or processed. This could also affect the identification of 4 bulls in a row. Ensure that the time zone settings in your MT4 platform are correct for both BTCUSD and GBPUSD. Incorrect time zone settings can lead to misalignment of candlesticks and affect the identification of 4 bulls in a row.
