article

MagicNumber: "Magic" Identifier of the Order

The article deals with the problem of conflict-free trading of several experts on the same МТ 4 Client Terminal. It "teaches" the expert to manage only "its own" orders without modifying or closing "someone else's" positions (opened manually or by other experts). The article was written for users who have basic skills of working with the terminal and programming in MQL 4.

Great improvement to have data downloadable from the history centre. It's a very welcome replacement for the well worn routine of downloading Alpari 1M data and period_converting.

Any chance of FXT format tick data being downloadable?
