Be sure that the trading size is correct in the "Strategy Properties" dialog.

You can make several tests by using the manual operation execution buttons - "Operation" tab. If it works correctly there, it will work in the automatic trade also.

Hi Popov

your new software is state of the art. I have installed the new beta version but still the lot size is 1 even though I have set default lot size at 0.1 in MT4. I have also tried to place the line size = size / 10; but it says Access Denied. Can you please help me out here? Many Thanks

For the moment you better adjust SL and TP in FST. Please note that the expert adviser normalizes  additionally the values according to the brokers freeze level.

Thank you for your efforts,

When I run FST live, it implements the FSB entry buy, sell but it does not implement the FSB strategy stop-loss and take profit.

It implements some other TP and S/L

Like, my FSB TP is 34 pips and S/L is 116 Pips

But FST implements: TP is 3 pips and S/L is 7.3 pips

How do I set FST to use FSB TP and S/L?

Thank you so much,

* cannot load library 'MT4-FST Library.dll' (error 126) * is another problem. Probably your computer is not updated and it doesn't support products compiled with MS Visual Studio 2008.
This is easy to be fixed.
Download and install C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) from the Microsoft website.
After that simply run the program againg.  It must fix the problem.

thanks a lot !it worked fine now! I forgot that i have a new system environment

1. Check if the new "MT4-FST Expert.mq4" and "MT4-FST Library.dll" are copied on the proper places. (Check "Compatibility files" in Vista!)
2. Delete the old "MT4-FST Expert.ex4" file or recompile the expert.

I am in xp
i have recheck and recheck , reinstall both mt4 & fst.still the same
"MT4-FST Expert USDCHF,M15: cannot load library 'MT4-FST Library.dll' (error 126)"

anyone got problem like mine?

    * A bug with data update after changing data time frame fixed.
    * A bug with chart redraw after changing data time frame fixed.
    * Slippage parameter removed from the "Operations" page.

The DLL and the Expert wasn't changed so you don't need to replace them.

The download links are in the Forex strategy Trader section of the website.

P.S.
Any help with the program's translation is highly welcome.

Please stop MetaTrader and check again if "MT4-FST Expert.mq4" is in folder "C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\experts". Where MetaTrader 4 is your actual MetaTrader folder. After that delete "MT4-FST Expert.ex4" and "mqlcache.dat" and restart MetaTrader.

OK, thanks! It worked!

I replaced dll and expert file in MT folders and it doesn't even show in the MT4 anymore...
I run XP.

It worked fine in the previous version.

Could you please help?
