📌 MetaTrader — Rules (read before posting)

[Dave]

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.
