Question for Chris or anyone, can MT4 brokers actually see a clients platform set up?

If you can open your platform on any computer using the login and password then I can`t see why not. Send me yours and I will let you know if it is possible simultaneously.

Yes, of course, it is obvious
Thanks

Re: Mt 4 Platform keeps freezing

Hi Chris,

I seem to be having ongoing issues with the platform freezing. I have uninstalled it about 3 times now and re-installed it again. The platform goes okay for a while and then freezes again.

I have been searching on Google for a solution and I notice that I am not the only one having issues with mt 4 freezing. Can anything be done to make the platform more stable?

Regards,
Denis Hay

what windows are you using?

are you using a compiled .ex4 file? are you using a .dll file?

windows XP - 32 bit version?

do you use any custom indicators, or EAs?

Yes I do use several and they seem to work fine when I add them to charts but once the platform freezes it is very difficult to identify if one of these is causing the issue. It seems to me that if they work for a period of days or weeks they should be okay.

 

[Stormin_Norman]

do you have the original code (mq4) file? or only the ex4 file?

sometimes you need to re-compile the ex4 files after updates ive found in the past.

also, if they use .dll's their compiling can also cause the problem (assuming its not something totally unrelated as well).

We can't see your setup. MT4 brokers can see the trades that come through, but we can't see or control EAs, the charts or anythign that is on your side.

SL triggered without reaching SL?!?!?!

OK, just had a very frustrating experience.

I had my SL perfectly set on a sell trade on the NZDUSD at 0.7230, about 5 pips above the past resistance level. I come back a few minutes later to see how things are progressing to find out i hit the SL. Even though the price never got above 0.7226?!?!? (checked it down to the 1M chart).

See the attached chart. I've marked where my SL was with a line. You can see that no candle comes close, even though my trade was taken out.

What's going on?!?!? Lucky it wasn't real money or i'd be pissed right now!

Also, some of you guys may have seen our new website. Not sure if I am able to post a link to the site, it may be advertising!

We will every day be uploading our market report to the site, and also we provide links to our market wrap on BoardRoomRadio that you can listen to. We are hoping to give more information to clients including the above and you should see more of Go Markets' market commentary on other sources. One of our guys, Chris Gore, was actually on Channel 10 last week.

You need to be aware that you were short and therefore you would be fileld on the ask side. The charts only ever show bid prices, and of course are indicative. if the spread went to 4 pips, which on NZDUSD is very likely, then it would have hit the 0.7230 level.

Although it is only a demo, by calling in to us you would probably get this information and wouldn't need to post it on a forum. It doesn't help you get an explanation as it is not always monitored by us, and is certainly slower than making a call!

Ahhh-so. Forgot about that. :-(

No worries. I figured someone else will have had a similar experience. Also, forums often serve as a first point-of-contact for such experiences with answers for others to find.

If it was real money i'd certainly be calling! Thanks for your prompt answer.

 

[PR@GoMarkets]

No worries, as long as it is now clear!

Thanks again for your reply. I am totally lost now as I have no idea what the above means. The indicators I have been using I just download for forums like VSA's forum. I don't know how or understand how to program the indicators myself.

So what would be common platform information if I logged on using Caribeans login and password. Account balance only?

Is there anyway to set the charts to show ask prices? I've seen this sort of question many times before (someone wondering why their stop was hit when the charts don't reflect it). Seems it would make much more sense to show the ask prices on the chart.

[Stormin_Norman]

yes.

right click on your chart. go to properties. then the common tab.

tick 'show ask line'.

Hey Stormin! I think I worded it wrong... djc0 placed a trade and came back to it afterwards and saw that his stop was hit, even though the charts didn't reflect it... Chris responded that it was due to the charts only showing bid prices... I guess I meant to ask:

Is there was a way to see the ask prices when looking back at a chart after the trade in order to determine when your stop was hit?

 

[Stormin_Norman]

there would be an indicator which would allow that to be done.

or bid prices saved and opened in an offline chart. (ive programmed up a tick chart using this method).
