It’s that time of year again when I like to do something special for the readers of the ATS blog. The whole purpose of setting up this blog way back in 2008 was to act as a hub or learning center for novice coders who were interested in learning how to code their own Expert […]
This is Part 2 of the article “Adding ‘Margin Management’ to Risk Management”. If you would like to read part one . Margin Management The first thing we have to know about Margin Management is Leverage. Leverage in the Forex allows us to make large trades with small amounts of money, just like leverage in […]
One of the things to avoid when trading the Forex is a margin call/stop out, when your broker will close your trade on the spot without asking your permission. If you are using a computer program (or Bot), most brokers will shut down your EA at the same time, preventing any future trades until you […]
The other week I had an email from a client asking what’s the difference between MQL4 and MQL5 and whether he should learn one or the other. One would assume that the two are somewhat related because after all both are MQL and both are designed to program indicators, scripts and expert advisors for MetaTrader…but […]
There are quite a few indicators available that will identify various candle patterns but why not write your own? It’s really not that hard and you can customize it to only show the candle formations that you’re particularly interested in.

UPDATE: After seeing countless expert advisors being offered for sale I was wondering if any of them actually live up to their hefty claims and wanted to get to the truth. I decided it would be a great idea to set up a trial and run it through my website so I could be 100% […]
Trading the forex market like any other market can be a very difficult and, at times, an excruciatingly painful endeavor. To help make it a little bit easier Metatrader offer their platforms version of automated trading software which they call 'Expert Advisors'. Trading using this type of software can offer many advantages and help the […]
In the spirit of the season I thought I’d do something special and so I decided to offer my at a very special low rate. Almost 3 hours of video training by a professional MQL4 programmer for only $25…CRAZY!!!! Here’s the deal… On December 1st I will be selling the course for only $25 which […]
MQL programmers come in many shapes and sizes so it’s unwise to assume that you’ll get the same level of service from each one.
