This section covers MT4 and MT5 specifically: platform setup, EA installation, scripting, troubleshooting, and anything else tied to the MetaTrader ecosystem. If your question is more about a specific broker's conditions or a standalone indicator, there are better sections for that.
Basic conduct
If you see someone make a mistake in their code or setup, point it out properly. A correction with context is useful, a one-line "that's wrong" is not.
No condescension toward newer traders figuring out the platform. MT4 has a learning curve and everyone here hit the same walls at some point.
Critique the approach, not the person.
Promotion & advertising
Do not advertise EAs, scripts, or any paid products without admin approval. "Here's a free version, DM me for the full one" is still promotion.
If you've built something and want to share it, contact admin first.
Referral links and third-party service promotions get removed without warning.
DMing members to sell anything will get you banned.
Posting standards
When asking for help, specify the platform version (MT4 or MT5), your broker, and what exactly is happening. Screenshots help. "My EA stopped working" tells us nothing.
When sharing code, paste it properly formatted. A wall of unformatted MQL is hard to read and people are less likely to help.
If you've solved your own issue, post the fix. Someone else will run into the same problem.
Other things that'll get your post removed
Sharing cracked or decompiled versions of paid EAs or indicators. Zero tolerance.
Posts that are clearly just fishing for private coaching or paid services.
Off-topic broker complaints or general trading discussion.
Warnings for minor stuff, bans for anything deliberate or repeated.
Not sure if something fits here, message a mod before posting.
