For a good laugh -- and a cautionary tale -- see my own cat/trader story here. (2 posts). Jade's 19 now, but not trading any more!

Interesting comment, but I find it ironic because recently I've run into a lot of MT4 errors. The Experts log says "out of memory" when I open a new chart, or add an indicator to an existing one. Previously, I could open up 30 and more charts, but ...

The OBJ_CHART object is not supported in MQL4, even though it will compile. It is only supported in MQL5. Unless something changed more recently, this 2016 discussion seems relevant. The code will compile in MQL5, with a tiny change: Either: ...

Among other things, I use pitchforks. They are not easy to use as there can be many ways to interpret the pivots, hence many more PF's could be drawn than what I've done on my chart (which leads to a LOT more lines and confusion, and second-guessing ...

Surely you have heard of and installed the free app, "Merlin Bird ID". It's also from the CornellLab / Cornell School of Ornithology, and there's a "Bird ID" link about it on the page you gave. For those who don't know, it works similar to the way ...

I see that now; I had not read every post but he obviously did not read or understand your clear tip about the font file. Since the original youtube videos with tips on installation are no longer available, then the short answer for how to install ...

It looks like you haven't installed that stratman.font file (See stratman.zip file here).

By "this trick", do you mean adding the "for j" loop as in your earlier example? As I noted, that's not a full solution, because the root problem is caused by incrementing through your "for i" loop. Change the "for i" loop so that it decrements, and ...

BestTraderEv, Just fyi, your code snippet has a few problems: * You have a "for j" loop that is completely unnecessary, since "j" is not even a variable used later in the code. You're just repeating the "for i" loop 10 times. * Your "for i" loop -- ...

In addition to what BestTraderEv said, there is no uniform standard for how Renko indicators build charts. The timeframe is usually non-standard. (Since Renko is not time-based, this is to be expected). And the times for each of the candles are ...

When I tried to duplicate your chart on MT4, it was different, but the reason is simple enough: Your chart is S&P 500 E-mini, a contract, which just had the quarterly contract switch Sep 8. After that switch, there was an immediate price jump ...

You should try harder to see if there is already a public solution. Since what you want -- the original indicator without the button -- was almost certainly posted by someone asking for a button to be added, why not try searching for it without the ...

Hi Koopa, Thanks for the info. I got it working, and here's the steps I used: I created a new gmail account. I enabled 2-step verification. (I only enabled this for my new gmail account; other gmail's I use can be an independent setting). I followed ...

V4 attached. Opens a new sub-window (by default). OR, user can swap a couple lines to NOT open new sub-window. DisplayInSpecificWindow = -1 which auto-detects which window to use; OR, the user can pick any specific window. It was dumb that merely ...

Hi Frank, Unfortunately, your edits made the problem -- unwanted tick.wav sound when clicking on any button -- very much worse! ... but I applaud your attempt. Now it's worse because the tick sound occurs when absolutely ANY object is clicked on, ...

Frank, CJA did a fix by removing the 3 lines related to the 'PlaySound' of the "tick.wav" file. (Changing the Input variable 'soundBT' value to blank also works). However, the underlying bigger concern is that THIS indicator somehow interacts with ...
- pips4life replied Jun 15, 2023
If you have source code for all your template indicators, then likely there is a reference to the tick.wav file. Ex. 'PlaySound("tick.wav")' You might be able to spot where the code error is that causes that sound to play. My guess would be the ...

Hi Frank, I am curious why clicking on an On/Off button would make any sound at all, unless it is built into a specific indicator you are using. I click on on/off buttons all the time and don't hear anything. Could you try, for example, the "P4L ...

Post #1 has a link to a github repository. I was able to download the files and copy the entire contents into the MQL4\Indicators\ folder. I was then able to compile the 'Multi-Chart-Sync-safe-button.mq4' file with the latest MT4. I added the ...
