to every developer. I am creating contest to fix this annoying bug. I have some great strategies that need this bug to be fixed to start working.
Please check the code and try to find the solution. I can even pay you for the time you spent by programming.

Thanks guys!

I found one utility that should help to send ticks to mt4
Do you think that would solve the problem?

This tool is not a solution. We use a "server" (continuously running loop) in the expert to keep it live even if there is no ticks coming.

I'll figure out something to fix the Martingale later. I'm working on FSB now.

Thank you very much;)

We do something similar. You can check the expert code. However, our solution is not working at 100%.

Hi Mr. Popov,

Thank you in advance.

The problem is that MT4 doesn't report report when closing a trade. We workaround this issue by monitoring positions tick by tick and when expert notice a position close, it informs FST. We know that this is not reliable since MT4 loses some ticks when they comes together and FST misses current win/loss status  of the closed position. Once we find better solution of the problem, we'll fix the code.

Hi,

thank you for your reply. I understand this is mt4 issue.
Can you make workaround based on logic that there was open trade and then there is no trade open.
I mean FST reported

Can it check every time when it report 'square' if the previous trade was a loss? And increase lot size?

It usually works well but sometimes it does not.  Example: there was a short trade 0.01 lots that ended up as a loss - see log.

Next trade size should be 0.03 because of mart 3 but it remains at 0.01.

Mr. Popov do you have any idea what is causing the prblem and how to fix it? Thank you.
I found the problem is that expert did not see that the trade was closed

and it does not increase consecutive looses counter.

I hope you will be able to help me with this;)
