Why would you call OnTick(); from within OnTimer()?.. OnTick is called by the NewTick event, which is dealt with by the terminal. So every time a tick is received by the terminal, OnTick() will be called and all code within it processed. You can ...

Hi JR97. Personally I didn't use VBA, just the data importer built into Excel. I had an EA writing a .txt file, then linked that to Excel and set it to refresh every minute. Nice and simple...as long as you can write the EA ;-)

Thanks FerruFx and rockit for that discussion. I was struggling with the logic, until I came across precedence rules. It all makes sense now. A couple of links for anyone like me: url & url

Yes it is. The third point simply defines the level to project from. Normally, people would link that third point to a retracement, from which the levels would be projected. All Nut is doing, is moving the third point level with the second point. ...

Long time since I last looked at this! When you first load the indicator, the vertical line will be drawn 5 bars back by default, on the time frame that you load it to. The indicator then checks a defined number of bars preceding it, and those ...

Personally, I would format the code as below as it avoids repetition and helps me to follow the logic flow: bool DT1B = false; bool DT2B = false; bool DT3B = false; bool DT1S = false; bool DT2S = false; bool DT3S = false; ...

Update: Glad to say that the service desk has got me up and running again. I now have build: 858 running and it seems to be stable. Hasn't crashed yet! I am still experiencing issues with the Metaeditor at the moment - it crashes when I try to ...

I have the same issue with build 840. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, downloading from different brokers, Metaquotes itself, all to no avail. The terminal crashes every time! Fortunately I am only using a demo account! For the time being I ...

I wrote this a while back now, but it still runs fine on my Metatrader. url It is plotted using pips per bar, so the lines will not drift around, unlike the standard version. Hope you find it useful... OD

I would write it like below, if it were me: OpenTradeSignalA = TRUE; //--assign true or false value to your variable //--then use if expressions if(OpenTradeSignalA){ //--variable is either true or false //--three possible choices: greater, less or ...

If you are only interested in a few pairs, you could just copy and past the data that you need from the data window in your MT4 terminal.... image Which when pasted into Excel, looks like this.... image No coding, but for a few pairs it might do ...

I agree with you on that point JR'. I have had too many issues with DDE to bother with it any more. I find it more efficient and reliable to do what I need in MT4, write it to file and load that into Excel as external text data.

Hi Charvo, I don't have access to my terminal for now, but in simplistic terms, I would approach it as follows: Loop through orders and check if there is a line object prefixed with the corresponding order number; If not, then create one and assign ...

This is my understanding: User sets AlertLvl4Long; The above is assigned to LongApl at Init(); Start() calls Count_Pos_lots(), which: deletes the line if it exists, then; creates the line using LongApl value; Start() calls UpdateDragAlert() to get ...

I think you need to check your use of braces... image

I copied your original code and had similar results, so I changed it to the code below: //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| testread.mq4 | //| Copyright 2010, Oneday | ...

This is how I do it.... Variables for this hypothetical example: Account balance: £50,000.00 Risk per trade: 1% Trade pair: EURUSD Conversion pair: GBPUSD Step 1 When the trade is settled, the profit or loss will be in USD, so you will then have to ...

You are describing a cross rate calculation here, which requires two currency pairs to calculate your risk in GBP. The first pair is the trade pair, and the second pair is your conversion pair. With your EUR/USD example, you know that when the trade ...

If you can upload an image, or describe exactly what you want to display, I'll adapt the indi' that I have and upload it for you and anyone else to use.

Thanks IF'
