2. When I start META-DELTA the following message keeps appearing: "Do you permit to call function..."

1. When I start META-DELTA the following message appears: “DLL calls are not allowed...”

Go to Tools/Options/Expert Advisors and check “Allow DLL imports”. Then Uncheck “Confirm DLL function calls”.

2. When I start META-DELTA the following message keeps appearing: Do you permit to call function...

You can avoid this message by switching off the option “confirm DLL function calls” in Meta Trader. Go to Tools -> Options -> Expert Advisors and UNcheck "Confirm DLL function calls" option.

3. In Meta Trader the lot size is 100 000 units. Do I have to set this anywhere so that it works the same way in Delta Trading™, where 1 lot is 1000 units?

Lot sizes are indeed different in МТ4 и Delta Trading™, but there is no need to change any settings in neither platform. META-DELTA automatically calculates the volume of the orders it places considering the differences in lot size.

4. In the "Place order" dialog in MetaTrader there is an option to "Enable maximum deviation from qouted price". How does this work with the bridge to Delta Trading™?

This MT4 option allows an order to get executed as long as its price is inside a chosen deviation and this way avoiding slippage.
MТ4 users can benefit from the entire functionality of МТ4, including this option, as every order will be executed in DT after it gets executed in MT4.

5. Do I have to install different instances of META-DELTA if I want to use a Delta Trading™ demo and live accounts at the same time?

Generally, you are allowed to use both Demo and live Delta Trading™ accounts at the same time. Delatastock AD advises you to first test your strategies using MT4 and Delta Trading™ Demo accounts. Once you are comfortable with META-DELTA, you can start using a live Delta Trading™ account.

The only thing you need to do, is to change the account number the bridge will be trading with. Use the "META-DELTA_Instruments" script to change it. (The script is in the "scripts" folder of the "Navigator" window.

6. How Meta-Delta places STOP and LIMIT orders?

If you trade through Meta-Delta, your Limit and Stop orders will be first executed in MT4 and then executed in Delta Trading™ as MARKET orders at the current market price.

7. Every time one manually closes an order in DT and the price moves, a conformation window appears in DT: "Cancel or Execute". Won't that cause a delay in the execution?

Popup windows do not appear when you use META-DELTA.

8. Is it necessary to re-install META-DELTA every time my MetaTrader DEMO account expires?

There is no need to re-install META-DELTA every time your MT4 demo account expires. Once you start trading with the new MT4 account and drag and drop the bridge, you will be prompted to set the Delta Trading account the bridge will be trading with.
