How to fix crash problem of your MT4 platform

July 30, 2009

When you run our new Fractals Wizard ver 4.0 that come with DLL and it caused crash at your MT4 platform, try several methods explained here.
One of the methods explained below should fix the crash problem at your MT4 platform.

NB: We already detect some security code that cause this and we are creating a new DLL. The new DLL will be available first week of August 2009 at your member area.

For now, try the following methods:

1. Upgrade your MT4 platform the newest version (build 224 or build 225)

We always compile our EA to the newest MT4 platform.
When you are using older version, it can cause crash, so upgrade your MT4 version first.

2. Open your MT4 using Windows Explorer

Click Start and find your Windows Explorer program. Usually inside Accessories.

Using Windows Explorer, find your MT4 directory and open it

Inside your MT4 directory, double click Terminal.EXE to run your MT4.

3. Another solution is Put your MT4 directory inside Start In parameters at Terminal.Exe properties.

Go to your MT4 directory, find Terminal.Exe

Right click and select Properties and add your MT directory inside Start In parameter like example below:

Before:

before

After:

after

4. Copy your MT4 directory outside Windows Program Directory

Sometime your Windows setting do not allow our program to write file in Program Files directory.

Create a new MT4 directory or just copy your current MT4 directory to new directory outside Program Files directory.

And install/copy all our EA and DLL into the new MT4 directory outside Program Files then run your Metatrader 4 from there.

5. If the crash happened after you load the .set file.

If this happen you need to enter the EA properties value manually (do not load .set file that I provided).
You can read Fractals-4 manual for guidance the value to be filled into the EA properties (for each currency pair).

6. Windows Vista Problem

If you are using Windows Vista, there is a security inside Windows Vista that cause crash problem.

Vision EA New Development according to new NFA regulation

July 3, 2009

I resend my last email because the link at the previous emails not working.

Also our new Vision (released later) should not crash on your MT4 when it started (our technical has found solution for the problem).

As you know (or may not know) that NFA once again have new regulations for NFA brokers. The new NFA regulations now prevent you from trading like before.

What you need to do in the USA (for NFA brokers) as of July 31, 2009:
* Can’t have hedging positions, it means OCO orders ( One cancels the other)
* FIFO (first in first out) system: order that opened first must be closed first.
* Can’t have stop and profit target for order with the same lot-size.

Some broker like FXCM, and Forex.com move to their UK divisions. I myself prefer use Alpari UK.

I also working with COMPLETELY new development with our Vision trading system (VISION PRO) to follow NFA new regulations. (I received some letters that some of you afraid I will abandon Vision because of our basket development).

In this new development, I do not hedge EURUSD with USDCHF since the correlation is too difficult to predict and I limit the open positions to maximum 20 positions to lower the drawdown.

And back to use only 1 currency pairs (EURUSD), we can backtested it again…
