@emmzett I posted code per your recommendation. Any feedback welcome. Thanks.

Don't really understand this suggestion since price 'ticking' has nothing to do with when I want the action performed. I want the action performed only when I click the calling button, i.e. on a button click event.

Here is code from the EA. OnChartEvent() captures actions. I have included code that shows the chain of what happens when one of my button click actions is detected: HideConditions(), ShowConditions(), and OnClickBtnTabAlerts(). There are 3 more ...

In an attempt to provide more info, please see simple buttons in attached screenshot. I put Print() statements in each button's OnClick functions. As expected, when the buttons perform correctly, the Print statements print correctly. In this last ...

Really appreciate the effort cja, but it's not that. I am leveraging chart events. The button clicks often work perfectly, even (especially) in slower markets, even when new ticks are infrequent. I know it's tough without code, and if I can narrow ...

@hanover Understand 1000% and only have hopes, never expectations, with regard to any question I ask or request I make. Extremely grateful for your ongoing sharing of your incredible work. Also totally understand with regard to your wanting to be ...

@hanover, a couple of issues, perhaps for user error or enhancement that proper bugs, but for #1 in particular I am not sure: First screenshot of param file, see highlighted portion. I am expecting to see the time of the event in my news info ...

@hanover, this is awesome. I have confirmed that (A) the compiled .ex4 works in my modern MT4, and (B) the .mq4 compiles and the resulting .ex4 still works! I'll plan to dig in this weekend and see if I can get it setup exactly how I'm looking for. ...

@hanover, gentle ping just in case you didn't see my post 327. Thank you for your consideration.

Thanks for the responses, guys. No this is not feasible because my panel allows me to turn on or off over 10 indicators, Too many permmutations to a different template for each combination. That's a bummer, but thanks for the insight. There is a ...

As a follow-up to this, I was wondering if it would be possible to extend this code to: Specify an input or extern parameter of the custom indicator by name (or even loop through its input or extern parameters) Set a value for a given parameter ...

Hi Hanover, This indicator, like the others I've recently found of yours, is fantastic. I am very grateful for finding your generous work! I spent the better part of today reading up and getting it up and running on my platform. I'm near the tail ...

@emmzett can't thank you enough, I'm pleased with how far I continue to get as a hack, but I could never have figured any of of that out. It's truly like magic. A huge help. Thank you so much!

Thank you for the continued help! I've made your script work on indicators in my 'Indicators' root folder, but I am managing many custom indicators and so I keep them in a sub-folder. Your script finds these indicators when I point it there, but the ...

This has been awesome. I have made the updates and am totally unblocked on that issue. Thank you so much for the help! In my previous post, I mentioned that that was just one bug. The others are less severe but I am still trying to resolve them. The ...

For anyone following along, I figured it out. I specified 31 lines, so I needed to specify more than 1 color. When I specified a comma-delimited list of the same color 31 times, it worked like a charm. I'm guessing this was documented and that the ...

Hi Hanover, it's me again. :-) This time I am working with the Horizontal Lines indicators from this post: url I had similar compiling errors as I had on DailyLineBoxes, which is not a surprise. However, this time, armed with your recently shared ...

This works perfectly, and I was even able to make my tweaks. Thank you so much! FtN
