Hi peeps. Good day to all... I hope someone can assist me to edit and modify an indicator to solve my predicament stated below. Thanks
I have a particular Indi that creates button on the chart for me to switch to different pairings quickly by depressing the 28 currency pairing buttons. However, when I copy and paste the entire 28 pairings separated by the ";" symbol it gets truncated to only 23 pairings in the buttons. Is it something to do with the character count limitation? Usually e.g. we just key in USDJPY (for an ecn account) and it shows as that BUT now my Broker sets it up with an extension behind the pairing name like USDJPY.ecn to differentiate their other types of accounts offered... And so, when I key in exactly USDJPY.ecn;USDNZD.ecn etc until all 28 pairings listed out I then paste this list into the indi parameters section the final results only show 23 buttons on the charts!
This same broker when I use the same indicator for another account say USDJPY.c it shows up all 28 pairing buttons without any issue. This got me thinking that it's a character count limitation in the code?! Is it not? Can someone point me to a change or modification in the code to increase the character count... I need the .ecn extension (or whatever else name extension the Broker puts) to also show up in all 28 buttons.
Or is there a simpler way still for the code to tag the relevant symbols to the indi whenever I drag each 28 pairings onto the charts from the market watch section??
Or in the indi's section "List of symbols (separated by ";") " where I am to copy-paste a list of pairings I want to show up..., can I just copy-paste the normal USDJPY;USDNZD;USDAUD etc for all 28 pairings and let the program code sort/tag the relevant extension behind the pairings set by the Brokers e.g. USDJPY.ecn or USDJPY.cents etc and get listed out automatically in the buttons??
Any help and added programming code for my above request is much appreciated as I am totally clueless RE: code programming. I am simply a trader and too much on my plate to learn newer things. But a little assistance from anyone would help in sorting my indi out. That I can do by inserting simple relevant code addition (copy and paste) into certain spots in the indi using Metatrader editor. And recompile.
p/s. attached is the issue/problem I was referring to... And also the source file for those who are willing to assist in coding it from this. Thanks
Much thanks peeps, especially coders... And the codes must be ez on the CPU because in the past I have had other indis that I tried that slowed down my computer to the point some crashed it as it stood in a freeze/hung mode for 1-2 hours. Totally scary...
