question about Marketinfo

RefreshRates();
Alert ("price =", MarketInfo("Symbol",MODE_BID));


Why does this either not work, or tell me that its 0?

I think the word symbol s/b (NULL,MODE_BID ) you may not be defining correctly.

RefreshRates();
Alert ("price =", MarketInfo("EURAUD",MODE_BID));



doesn't work or returns as zero?

Hi hopokuk,

A couple of things... if I had to guess, I would guess you are backtesting, not forward testing, and that when you did MarketInfo("EURAUD",MODE_BID), you were not using the EURAUD chart in your test. If I am right, the reason I know this is that this is a limitation of MT4. You can not backtest currencies other than the one you are working on. This is a major pain, and if anyone has a workaround, I would love to hear it. The only thing I can suggest is to forward test, this should work fine.

I'm not entirely sure what your asking but I think I understand what you want.

Take a look at the image I attached if it thats what you want, here's the code for it:

I'm no coder, so I'm not sure if this is the most efficient code, but it works.

if use mini acounts, then add "m" to pare name.
"EURUSDm", etc.
check be sure, plleese.
thank you.
