Today 12 May 2025 the issue :

In the past i've used VPSes to put EAs on demo accounts, but one day someone said that he doesn't use VPS but instead a landline connection managed by friends of his
it made me think, and now I don't use VPS anymore
first they are pricey, second they crash / restart, maybe even more than a regular PC. It used to make me mad
if you rent a special "Forex" VPS you won't have any CPU power for a high price, it's not a good deal
I'm not currently trading on a real account but if one day I do, I would use this setup :
First You need a laptop and not a tower PC : because if power is cut in your area, you'll still be online for a while, thanks to the battery
secondly use a "Battery Backup and Surge Protector" to connect the laptop, that way if the battery runs out, you still got the power of the surge protector/power bank.
but what if power gets out, won't internet as well ?
YES and that's why you need to create a virtual WIFI router using your Mobile phone.
You have the possibility to connect via Wifi through your phone, look into it.
the computers are set to connect to available wifi spots if one goes out, and if you connected already ONCE
just connect your phone to the surge protector as well.
1) electricity goes out : no problem you still got the laptop, the surge protector and the telephone batteries
2) the smartphone takes the relay for your internet if internet is down in your area
it should last a while until power is on again.
also cost-wise, a laptop is not that expensive, compared to monthly payments.
you could ultimately setup an alarm if power goes out to wake you up to manage your positions manually if needed
what do you think of this setup ?

Copy trades to other accounts.
Operating environment
Source and destination MT4
Operating conditions
Source and destination are on the same PC.
Source and destination are 1: Multiple.
Detailed specifications
Copy target
New order
Market / SL / TP
Change orders
SL/TP
Settlement orders
Destination orders that are not in the source are closed.
(Market / SL / TP)
Magic number
Specified magic number(s).
Ignores trade orders that have been delayed in processing.
If a delay occurs between the source and destination EAs,
Sets whether the trade is copied or not.
Set the acceptable delay in milliseconds (ms).
Ignore past trade orders
If the PC or this system is restarted for any reason,
Sets whether trades should be copied back in the past.
Set the past to go back in seconds (s).
Action to copy to
Magic number
Operates with the magic number you set.
User intervention
The settlement order of the copy destination is not copied again.
The change order of the copy destination is changed to the content of the original order. (revert).
New orders at the destination are closed as they are not in the source. (Not applicable if the magic number is different)
Lot number
The number of lots is calculated as the ratio of the source and destination balances.
In addition, it is recalculated using the conversion ratio parameter.
Operation in the event of an error (or until both the source and destination EAs have been activated)
Copy source stops
Copying (new/change/close) according to the copy source in real-time is not possible.
Recovery after copy source is stopped.
New orders are copied according to the ‘Ignore past trade orders’ parameter.
Copy past change orders.
Copy past settlement orders.
Copy source stopped
Copying (new/change/close) according to the source in real-time is not possible.
Recovery after copy destination has been suspended
Copy past new orders according to the parameter ‘Ignore past trade orders’.
Copy past change orders.
Copy past close orders.
PC or MT4 is slow
Delayed new orders are copied according to the ‘Ignore delayed trade orders’ parameter.
Copy delayed change orders.
Copy delayed close orders.
Activation procedure
There is no order in which the source and destination are activated.
Mechanism
Data is exchanged in ‘Common\Files’.
I created a trade copy tool, but a good free one was released by FX Blue and others.
I reworked it to my specifications from the published source code.
The source code is attached. Feel free to use it.
I translated it from Japanese to English, but I have not translated it from English to Japanese and checked it for proper text.I'm sorry.Trade_copy_src.ex4Downloaded 90 times 26.3 KiB

Unlike the Nadaraya–Watson estimator, it does not aim to predict the value of the function
f(x) directly, but rather focuses on changes in the function’s behavior — for example, its derivative, which indicates upward or downward trends.

What It Does
Wave Rider EVO is designed to identify both trend-following and counter-trend opportunities through a combination of adaptive statistical measures. It provides:
Trend direction identification using an Adaptive Gaussian Moving Average
Pullback detection through a WaveTrend oscillator with Z-Score normalization
Visual entry signals with automatically calculated stop loss and take profit levels
A comprehensive dashboard displaying real-time trading statistics and signal information
Core Components
Adaptive Gaussian Moving Average
The foundation of the indicator is an adaptive Gaussian MA that automatically adjusts its sensitivity based on market volatility. Unlike standard moving averages, it:
Applies Gaussian (normal distribution) weighting to price data
Adapts its standard deviation (sigma) based on current volatility
Creates a more responsive yet smooth price action filter
WaveTrend Z-Score Analysis
To identify potential pullbacks within a trend, the indicator:
Calculates a WaveTrend oscillator (similar to a normalized price deviation from an EMA)
Applies Z-Score normalization to identify statistically significant deviations
Triggers pullback signals when the Z-Score crosses specific thresholds (the small dots on the chart)
Signal Generation with Risk Management
The indicator generates two distinct types of signals:
Trend Signals: Standard trend-following entries when the price action confirms a new trend
Pullback Signals: Counter-trend opportunities when the WaveTrend Z-Score shows extreme readings during an established trend
For each signal, the indicator automatically calculates and displays:
Stop Loss levels (based on ATR volatility)
Take Profit targets
Risk-to-Reward ratio
Visual Dashboard
One feature I'm particularly proud of is the comprehensive dashboard that displays:
Current trend direction and strength
Trend duration in bars
WaveTrend Z-Score value with visual meter
Latest signal details
Stop loss and take profit levels
Risk-to-reward ratio
This gives you a quick overview of the current market conditions without scrolling through charts or indicators.
The indicator is highly customizable - you can adjust the Gaussian MA length, Z-Score thresholds, and risk parameters to match your trading style.
Would appreciate any feedback, especially from those who try it out!

I would like to know where I should post my contributions to the forum.
Having made, or in the process of, switching to MT5, I have been converting MT4 code to MT5 as well as creating new indicators and tools.
I noticed that some posters post their source files and others who do not. What is the protocol regarding this? I know is poor form (and against the rules) to request the source code when it has not been posted but whether to do so or not, is not clear.

if anyone know do let me thanks

Today, I’m presenting the first indicator of my project, Alchemical Magnum Opus. I’m not sure how far I’ll go with this, but each component of the project will have its own dedicated topic to keep things as organized as possible. Once the main Alchemical Magnum Opus topic is created, all references will be consolidated there.
Enough preamble - let’s get to it.
This panel will eventually open and close trading operations, but for now, it only includes two non-functional buttons. I’ve also added stop-loss and take-profit lines with placeholder data. You can either use a percentage-based stop (which calculates pips based on account balance) or disable it and set a fixed value.
Note: A more refined control system will be implemented soon.
The take-profit works similarly, with the only difference being an added multiplier.
In the DLY P/L section, you can disable extra info like net or gross profit. There’s also a selection option that should account for swaps and commissions.
Open Pips and Open Positions are not yet implemented and will be added in future updates.
I’m currently struggling with pip calculations and would appreciate any advice on how to refine them.
Known Bugs:
- Panel border colors aren’t working correctly (still troubleshooting).
- Occasionally, the graphics glitch - switching timeframes temporarily fixes it. I’ll investigate further for a permanent solution.
Best regards,
Thoth
Update – April 24th: Download the File Again
*) Added two new fields to the Position Panel: Swap and Fee.
*) The Position Panel now only tracks open trades for the symbol where the panel is located.
*) The Balance calculation has been updated to account for all trades across all symbols (as shown in the additional screenshot).
*) Fixed an issue with the Stop Loss, Take Profit, and Median lines. Previously, they were incorrectly based on the Stop Loss level instead of the Median line. This has now been resolved.
*) Minor bug fixes and optimizations.
Update – April 25th: Download the File Again
*) I've fixed some critical errors related to line functionality and in the P/L code.
*) I've corrected several important generic errors.
*) I've partially optimized the panel space by making it more compact.
*) I've added temp P/L and temp net.
*) Percentage and currency values will now appear in K format for thousands and M for millions.
Some known bugs still remain:
*) The pip values still need to be fixed, as I haven't fully understood how to calculate them efficiently.
*) Sometimes part of the panel graphics disappears, and the chart needs to be refreshed.
I forgot to mention that you'll need to download and install this font: https://www.dafont.com/daggersquare.font . Alternatively, I can attach it here in the post if you prefer.

These indicators won't load in MT4 because when compiling them, several errors appear, possibly minor ones.
Could an experienced programmer fix these errors? I don't think it will take long.
