Frequently Asked Questions

Deltastock MetaTrader 4

How do I start trading with my live MT4 account?

To start trading with your live account, you need to change the trading server, since live accounts are serviced on a different server from demo accounts. Open the MetaTrader 4 Terminal and go to File/Login. The following dialog appears:

1. In the "Login" field enter the login ID, which you were given when you opened the Live MT4 account.
2. In the "Password" field enter your password.
3. From the "Server" dropdown choose Deltastock-Live
4. Then press "Login"

What are the IP adresses of your MT4 servers?

• MT4 Live Server - 193.28.250.68:443
• MT4 Demo Server - 193.28.250.66:443

Why is my EA working with other broker's MT4 but not with Deltastock MT4?

Some MQL4 Expert Advisors only work when the execution mode of the instruments they trade with is "Instant". In this mode the MQL4 function OrderSend() can accept stop loss and take profit levels as parameters.

When the execution mode of the instrument is "Market", the SL and TP parameters should be 0 when OrderSend() is called. The SL and TP should be set after the order has been executed with the OrderModify() function.

The execution mode of all instruments in Deltastock MT4 is "Market", so you need to modify your EA a little bit in order for it to work.

You should correct EACH OrderSend() line in your advisor the following way. Instead of:

• ticket1 = OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, Lot11, Ask, Slippage, SL, TP, "Buy_01", id1, 0, Blue);

You should use:

• ticket1 = OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, Lot11, Ask, Slippage, 0, 0,"Buy_01", id1, 0, Blue);
•  
• if(ticket1 > 0){
•     OrderSelect(ticket1, SELECT_BY_TICKET, MODE_TRADES);
•     if(OrderModify( ticket1, OrderOpenPrice(), SL, TP, 0, Blue) == FALSE)
•     {
•     Print("OrderModify failed with error #",GetLastError());
•     }
• }

i.e. you need to check the stop loss and take profit values in EACH SendOrder() function and replace them by 0, then call OrderModify() setting absolutely the same values for SL and TP.
