MetaTrader is Utter Garbage

Zero confidence in its Strategy Tester I have over a year of experience programing in the MQL4/MQL5 languages, I have worked through many quirks and gotchas and amassed a considerable local code repository - so I am qualified to make such a bold statement. Today I am just throwing in a towel. My lack of confidence in its ability to simulate trades is now absolute ZERO and casts serious doubts onto previous results. I have reported this in the forums and also through a support tickets but that went on nowhere.

Nantucket World Sailing Map

Fresh Game Sailing Reference Map Playing the enjoyable Nantucket sailing game set in a world of Moby Dick, however it has one flaw: while you are in a port dock you can not see the sailing world map, there is no keyboard shortcut for it as far as I can tell.

To solve this I have crated an image of the world just at the start of a new game which I have loaded on my second monitor. Right click the above image and choose 'Open Image in new tab' or 'Save image as'. Be legendary and do social like this post as that helps me immensely and do follow me on twitter: @danielsokolows .

No remote audio when connecting to Windows 2008 Server

Error: Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device The Internet was not helpful in regards to this; this post did not work for me. But after further digging myself I was able to determine that the issue is due to a 'Allow audio and video playback redirection' default policy being disabled on a server environment, the fix is to enable it. Open start menu and search for 'Edit group policy' and navigate to 'Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Device and Resources' and enable 'Allow audio and video playback redirection'.
