MetaTrader 5 acts as a Signal Provider for MT4

Posted in: Metatrader 5, Metatrader Tutorials on Tuesday, November 15th, 2011

MetaQuotes continues to impress us with new features in MetaTrader 5.  As with any major software upgrade, however, there will be a period of time where both MT4 and MT5 will exist and perhaps be supported concurrently by brokers.  One excellent way MetaQuotes has helped manage that overlap is a feature that permits MetaTrader 5 to act as a signal provider for MetaTrader 4 with a little coding in the MQL languages.  This article outlines the process, and it was found on the MQL5 Community website, MQL5.com.  All MT4 users and administrators should be sure to keep up with MT5 news as the platform is adopted by the world’s brokerages.

What is Metatrader

Posted in: Metatrader 5, Metatrader Tutorials on Thursday, October 6th, 2011

By definition, a trading manager is one who is in charge of the people who are buying and selling investments at financial institutions. Traders are struggling with managing the trade. They are always in the lookout for more features and as well as better ways for them to manage their trades.

A Metatrader is trading software that is developed by Meta Quotes Software. This software is used for trading financial instruments online like forex, futures and options. This software was developed in the year 2002. It has evolved as among the most successful tools for trading at all times. This software includes MQL4. This is a scripting language that involves a powerful capability of real-time processing.  It is also able to provide even the smallest details in indicators. The 4.0 version is the most widely used. This includes more than fifty indicators built to it that will monitor the markets in precise ways.

A complete package of this software includes a server, mobile, client terminal, administrators, data center and manager. The client terminal is the one providing the options for trading and as well a real time information regarding the market and the indicators. However, for you to be able to start trading using this client terminal, you need to have a live account first. The most important part is the server. This is what holds the requests of the trading. It is managed by the administrator. The inquiries information and customer accounts are all managed by the manager console. The data center console is the one used to reduce the load of trading in the main server. This will help achieve an efficient level of application.

One of the best forex trader techniques for establishing positions in an online trading account involves analyzing exchange rate charts for a currency pair.  Technical forex traders might use a variety of chart types for this purpose, which can include tic or tick charts, line charts, bar charts and point and figure charts.

The following sections will discuss each of the aforementioned chart types in greater detail. Although Japanese candlestick charts are also very popular among forex traders, a discussion of that especially detailed charting method lies outside the scope of this article.

 

The Tic Chart

The tic or tick chart is one of the best forex trader tools for very short term trading strategies such as scalping, or for timing an entry into the market being analyzed. This popular chart type lacks a time frame and simply involves graphing a new tick each time that the exchange rate changes. Most forex traders operating in an online trading account via an online forex broker that supports a reasonably sophisticated forex trading platform like MetaTrader will also be able to plot both the bid and offer exchange rates on their tic charts, as Figure 1 below illustrates.

Figure 1: A tic chart for GBP/USD showing the offered exchange rate in blue and the bid rate in red.

 

The Line Chart

The line chart is another useful tool that helps traders smooth out the price action and identify trends. This chart type includes a time component and typically involves graphing the closing exchange rates for each time period depicted and connecting the resulting dots with straight lines.

Most forex traders operating in an online trading account via an online forex broker that supports a reasonably sophisticated forex trading platform like MetaTrader will be able to plot line charts similar to Figure 2 below.

Figure 2: A daily line chart for GBP/USD showing the closing exchange rate in black.

 

The Bar Chart

The bar chart is one of the best forex trader tools and provides much more information than the line chart. Like the line chart, the bar chart includes a time component, but it typically involves graphing a vertical line or bar between the high and the low exchange rates for each time period time depicted, as well as a left tick at the opening level and a right tick at the closing level.

Forex traders operating in an online trading account via an online forex broker that supports a reasonably sophisticated forex trading platform like MetaTrader will usually be able to plot bar charts similar to Figure 3 below.

Figure 3: A daily bar chart for the GBP/USD currency pair showing its high, low, opening and closing exchange rates in black.

 

The Point and Figure Chart

The Point and Figure chart is considered the best forex trader tool by many professional traders and it focuses only on price action. A Point and Figure chart lacks a time component, and it usually involves graphing a series of X’s or green boxes to show an upward move and a series of O’s or red boxes to show a downward move.

These unusual charts are typically parameterized by a box size expressed in pips and the number of boxes required to show a reversal from X’s to O’s or vice versa.

Although primarily used by professionals who often create them by hand on graph paper, retail forex traders operating in an online trading account via an online forex broker might need to obtain a special indicator for their trading platform in order to be able to plot Point and Figure charts similar to Figure 4 below.

Figure 4: A Point and Figure chart for the GBP/USD currency pair with X’s plotted in green and O’s plotted in red, and using a box size of 5 pips and a three box reversal. Resistance trend lines are plotted as green lines, while support trend lines are shown in red

MQL5 : Implementation of a simple CEP engine

Posted in: Metatrader 5 on Monday, August 1st, 2011

This edition was harder to make than any of the previous editions. The late release of Strategy Tester and the large number of bugs that surged while making the CEP engine took a lot of time. From this moment, magazine issues will not be monthly anymore, because they will contain a lot of work and updates of past works. This is why, this time we are adding the Forum to the Magazine.

Now back to the CEP engine.

The CEP engine was some of the hardest stuff possible to write in MQL5. It was hard not only for me as programmer, but it had implications over MT5 as well, because the spaghetti data structure that it uses put MetaTrader to the test ; it needed a lot of bug filtering, especially on objects and memory allocations. The code managed to run with minor issues barely on build 270 (yes, already in May), and completely clean on build 271. It’s a long hard code, and I’ll chop it to pieces for commenting. I also left inline comments and Print lines intact to be better understood by readers. The algorithm is quite modified, not the same as the one presented in Anatomy of a Simple CEP Engine .

Posted in: Metatrader 5 on Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

Vantage FX is pleased to announce that it is one of the first brokers to provide clients with access to the MetaTrader 5 Demo Platform. The MetaTrader 5 trading platform is designed to service customers in Forex, CFD, Futures and Equity markets as well.

One of the main features that makes MetaTrader 5 superior to MetaTrader 4 is its architecture. A set of functions that were previously performed by one server, are logically divided between separate components in the new platform: a trade server; an access server; a history; and backup server. Such an organisation of internal interaction significantly increases the reliability and performance of the system. This translates to increased productivity, improved fault tolerance, greater stability and faster trade execution.

The MetaTrader 5 Client Terminal is a perfectly equipped trader’s working tool that allows traders to create practically any trading system and actively manage it.  The platform contains all the trading functions a trader will ever need. All types of Orders are supported, with four types of trade Operation Execution available: Instant, Request, Market and Exchange.

For traders preferring to automate their trading, the new MetaTrader 5 platform is perfect. The MT5 script has been condensed and improved to be more accessible and user friendly. MQL5 IDE is a built-in development environment for writing and using EAs, helping traders to automate their trading strategies or write their own technical indicators.

In MetaTrader 4, clients had the standard M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1, W1, MN timeframes, but MetaTrader 5 introduces intermediate timeframes into the mix. Built-in indicators and graphical objects are used for quick analysis of quotes and trade decision-making. In summary, the terminal offers 3 types of charts, 21 timeframes and more than 70 analytical tools.

The terminal provides all the necessary tools needed to ensure full-fledged and flexible trading activities. With such a powerful trading arsenal, one can easily detect trends, various figures, entry-exit points and so much more, at just a click of the mouse.

MetaQuotes Launches Automated Trading Championship 2011

Posted in: Metatrader 5 on Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

Russian Federation (IBwire.com – May 26, 2011) MetaQuotes Software Corp., a world leader in the retails Forex software market, today launched the Automated Trading Championship 2011, an annual competition of trading robots under which,  anyone can register as a participant and compete for the prize money of $80,000.

Registration for participation is open from June 1 to September 23, 2011, and is free of charge. The Championship will start on the 3rd of October and will end on the 23rd of December.

Sponsored by MIG Bank, Go Markets Pty Ltd, Vantage FX and Forex-TSD, the Automated Trading Championship 2011 is developed in the MQL5 language for programming trading strategies. The main goal of the Championship is to popularize automated trading. The competition allows solving another important task – accumulation of unique information about the most significant achievements in the field of trading robots creation, because the Automated Trading Championship provides an unprecedented opportunity for the best professionals to test their theories in practice.

From year to year, struggling for the prize of $80,000, hundreds of users from all over the world submit their MQL-developments for the Championship. However, this year’s Championship will be special. This will be the world’s first competition of trading robots able to trade not only on the Forex, but also in the stock market. Moreover, the extended functionality of the MetaTrader 5 client terminal and the release of the MQL5 Wizard will entail a significant increase of the number of Participants.

“Over 300 Expert Advisors participated in the previous Championship”, Stanislav Starikov, the Championship Jury member, said.

“This year the number will increase substantially – we expect to receive several thousands of applications for participation. The reason for this surge lies in the recently released MQL5 Wizard, using which any trader without programming skills can easily create a trading robot. Though, this would not guarantee a victory in the Championship, of course,” Starikov said.

8e392b9bfa4b739a7e212f7e9ce34e92 MetaTrader 5 App Review

 

I have tried using demo account to test the app. I would say it has got all the elements one who can check it out, interms of trading and financial transaction. All the information this app fetches are in real time so you can quickly take the decision while trading. After using this app, I have started thinking to trade in Forex. I would rather say this is a must have app for people who are trading.

Some other features MetaTrader provides:

  • The full set of trade orders, including pending orders.
  • History of trading operations.
  • Minimum traffic.
  • Offline mode (prices, charts, current positions, all trading history).

I have seen plenty of trading platforms inside the app. People in trading will wonder after seeing those trading platforms. The charts were more interactive enough to keep pace with the changes in trading. Do you do trading, if yes, I would recommend this app to make use of the cool features and trading platforms available in the app.

MetaQuotes Releases new MQL5 Wizard

Posted in: Metatrader 5 on Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

Now, Everyone can Create a Trading Robot

MetaQuotes Software Corp today announced the release of a new version of the MQL5 Wizard, an application that automatically creates trading robots for Forex trading. Using the Wizard, even ordinary traders, who do not have programming skills can easily create automated trading systems.

The principle of the MQL5 Wizard operation is simple. To create a trading robot, the user only needs to specify parameters of the trading algorithm and money management, and the Wizard would create an MQL5 program  for the same.

An important function added to the new version of the MQL5 Wizard enables traders to create trading robots based on different combinations of signals. This innovation allows sophisticated quote analysis and access to more accurate signals, and would ultimately lead to an increase in the number and variety of automated trading programs created using the Wizard.

Currently the MQL5 Wizard includes about 20 trading signals that can be combined to produce a variety of different algorithms. The application developers are planning to increase the number of signals to 50 in the coming months. The rich functionality of the MQL5 Wizard is available to any user of the MetaTrader 5 trading terminal. This means that anyone can create a robot that will trade according to a user defined strategy.

In general, the company’s 2011 strategy is aimed at making automated trading accessible to all users irrespective of their experience and programming skills.

“The release of the MQL5 Wizard is just one of the steps in our global strategy,” said Renat Fatkhullin, the CEO of MetaQuotes Software Corp. “We have long been engaged in the development of automated trading, and now we have taken an important step to help ordinary traders. We have provided them with the opportunities that were previously available only to experienced programmers. The powerful functionality used by professional developers is now available to all traders. With the new MQL5 Wizard, even a novice user can create a trading robot based on various algorithms.”

The next step of MetaQuotes’ strategy is the upcoming launch of new services – Market and Signals. The new services will provide a secure place for selling and purchasing MQL5 applications and signals. The developers believe that this will lead to even greater popularity of automated trading.
