Aug 29 · 1 Mention

1:38

And the trailing stop just dies.

speaker_1HOST

1:40

I mean, MetaQuotes knows this, which is why they don't even include client side trailing stops on the official MT4 and MT5 mobile apps.

speaker_0HOST

1:47

Oh, wow.

speaker_0HOST

1:47

Really?

Benjamin BoulterGUEST

And we provide a feed of pricing for clients to be able to execute their trades.

Benjamin BoulterGUEST

Typically, that's going through a third-party platform like MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, C-Trader, DXTrade, MatchTrade.

Benjamin BoulterGUEST

41:46

And these days, even charting software like TradingView is becoming extremely popular.

Benjamin BoulterGUEST

41:51

There's a lot of alternatives for placing trades.

MT4 vs MT5 Backtest Fidelity: One Gold EA, Two Verdicts

Aug 23 · 8 Mentions

speaker_1HOST

1:09

Yeah.

speaker_1HOST

1:09

The problem begins with how older platforms, specifically MT4, actually process historical data.

speaker_1HOST

1:16

I mean, it doesn't use real tick data at all.

speaker_0HOST

1:18

Which is wild to think about.

speaker_0HOST

1:29

Wait, so what does that actually mean? Because, you know, deterministic fractal algorithm sounds like it's doing complex math to be super accurate.

speaker_1HOST

1:36

Well, it is complex math, but it's complex math masking a complete guess.

speaker_1HOST

1:39

So MT4 looks at the open and close price of a minute, and then mathematically invents the wicks in between using this fixed formula.

speaker_0HOST

1:46

So if gold moves from, say, two thousand three hundred and fifty to two thousand three hundred and fifty-four dollars, the platform just fabricates a smooth, orderly write-up.

Backtest Data Quality: Why Two Broker Feeds Give Two Results

Aug 23 · 2 Mentions

speaker_0HOST

3:18

Man, okay, so if server clocks are creating phantom time that ruins our indicators, what happens when the software tries to invent prices that were never actually there? Like, let's look at the daily 17.0000 EST rollover mentioned in the article.

speaker_1HOST

3:33

Right, so to save disk space, standard MT4 archives usually only store bid prices.

speaker_0HOST

3:38

Which is only half the picture.

speaker_1HOST

3:40

Exactly.

speaker_1HOST

4:15

A low fidelity test with a static spread completely masks those events.

speaker_0HOST

4:19

Right.

speaker_0HOST

4:20

And standard MT4 software doesn't actually know what happened inside a one-minute candle anyway,

speaker_1HOST

4:24

right? No.

Backtest Spread and Slippage: The Costs Your Tester Skips

Aug 23 · 1 Mention

speaker_1HOST

1:14

So to understand why that 2.8 profit factor collapsed, we really have to dismantle the illusion of fixed spreads.

speaker_1HOST

1:21

Most standard testing software like MT4, for example, synthesizes a fixed spread, say 1.2 pips.

speaker_0HOST

1:28

Okay, so it basically pretends your cost of doing business is identical on every single trade.

speaker_1HOST

1:32

Yeah, regardless of what is actually happening in the world, it completely ignores interbank order book depth.

XTIUSD Contract Specs: Tick Value, Margin and Rollover Cost

Aug 23 · 1 Mention

speaker_2HOST

1:37

That's a great way to put it.

speaker_0HOST

1:38

I mean, if you don't right-click and check the specification tab in MT4 or MT5, a $1 drop doesn't just cost you $100.

speaker_0HOST

1:45

It completely wipes $1,000 from your account balance.

speaker_2HOST

1:48

And it gets worse because that multiplier mistake directly impacts your margin, too.

US30 Contract Size and Tick Value: Sizing Index CFD Trades

Aug 23 · 1 Mention

speaker_0HOST

1:54

Yeah.

speaker_1HOST

1:54

You need to open the specification window in your MT4 or MT5 terminal.

speaker_0HOST

1:58

Oh, okay.

speaker_1HOST

1:59

Because crucially, indices trade in points and fractional ticks, not pips, and the vital detail in that window is the decimal placement.

DAX 40 Contract Specs: Tick Value, Trading Hours and Spreads

Aug 23 · 1 Mention

speaker_0HOST

1:53

You have to check your platforms back in.

speaker_0HOST

1:54

In MT4 or MT5, you just right click GER 40 and open the specification window.

speaker_1HOST

2:00

OK.

speaker_1HOST

2:00

And what exactly are we looking for in there? You want to look for the exact contract size.

it looks different.

Eric ByrdHOST

They're not gonna be on MT4 or maybe even a MetaTrader 5.

Eric ByrdHOST

46:03

They might be using some other software.

But either way, at least that way you can learn how to trade.

You're ready to calculate your annual zakat.

speaker_0HOST

But then you look a little closer at your MT4 statement.

speaker_1HOST

0:14

And there it is.

Yep.

speaker_0HOST

Man, this demands absolute precision from the trader.

speaker_0HOST

5:01

So for you listening, here is your actionable next step today.

speaker_0HOST

5:04

And check those dividend tags too.
