Topic: Development - Signal EA

This is my first attempt to simulate Binary Options trading on MT4 that doesn't support it. It works pretty fine for a first try.
It counts the deals, shows positions, draws arrows.

It shows the most important simulation settings on the Input.

My next task is to add "signal prediction" in order to show probable signals 15 seconds earlier.
How I'm going to do it? I have only a vague idea for now, but after a refreshing 5 hours rest I'm sure I'll find a solution.

Trade Safe!

Re: Development - Signal EA

As a former Linux guy, before to wake up and to understand that the Windows is the correct platform, I like the REPO model. So, I'll try to release the Signal EA today.

Re: Development - Signal EA

Offf, MetaTrader !?!?@?@?!?!?#?

I wrote the expert for three hours and from 6 hours I'm trying to plot an "x" at the Expiry point. No matter what I'm doing, the "x" is always shifted vertically and always shows different price than the one I set to it.

This is happening despite the fact I set the concrete price of the image and also I set it to be "centered" at that price!!!

How can this be normal for a 15 years old software?

Re: Development - Signal EA

2 hours later, I found out that the, so called OBJ_ARROW_STOP (or a close image that shows a position closing price) can be only printed above or below the closing price and not at the closing price!!?!?! This is official by MetaQuotes.

I also found out that when I set an image in a MetaTrader chart, the price shown is not the image price!?!?! The price shown is calculated from the mouse cursor position at the moment when the image activates the popup label. It can be any price.

I write these my findings because this "knowledge" may be useful to someone, who is wandering why the things look "different" in MetaTrader.

Anyway, I'm making progress with the Signal EA. It works very well so far (despite the fact the expiration signs are shown lower).

My robot is making 92% success rate on the simulation smile

Re: Development - Signal EA

This info is form the old version of the experts. It was necessary because we used own indicators there.

Now the exported experts use only native MetaTrader indicators and we don't need this info anymore. You can set MetaTrader's indicators on your chart and to watch the parameters.
