hi derailed... glad u hijacked that other thread from fireslayer at least i found what ur doing here... needs some serious development! ...and once its done it could have great potential...
my feeling tells me to take a look at rabid's suggestions...

reg. mql4, i think u can learn it pretty fast... it took me something like 2 weeks to write my first ea... i found a really nice tutorial back then... http://articles.mql4.com/404 i think there is a total of 5 articles going step by step... its much easier to do the programming, than having trouble with someone elses code that u cant read...

Rabid's ideas are awesome. Lostinforex and Smjones helped me change the EA so it can go on any chart.

Actually last night I fixed the EA as Lostinforex suggested. I'm testing it now to see if it will put in orders and after that I will upload it for everyone to look at. If this works, then I can start visually testing Rabid's idea.

MQL4 is like C++, I've read some newbie guides for both. Those articles you mentioned helped me get me off the ground. I'm at a point where I can read the code and know whats going on but I can't write it. What the guys mentioned earlier about the iHigh and iLow, I totally got, but the changes mentioned in line 191 and 192 I would never do by myself.

So now, my question is with the iHigh and ilow, can I change the chart while orders are put in from a 15 to an hour or whatever? I don't think that would matter but better find out first.

sounds like ur making some real progress

for the ihigh and ilow... im not sure if i understand ur question correctly... but from my understanding its a simple function and does what u tell it to do... the definition looks like iHigh(symbol, timeframe, shift)... so if u set symbol NULL and timeframe = 0 then u can expect it to change whenever u change the chart... simple as that... if u want it for example to operate off a certain timeframe only, well then make something like iHigh(NULL, 15, shift)... what should work with any pair, since it takes it from the chart... but always will use m15 TF...

hope this somehow answers ur question... if not, please just ask until solved

are you scared of the 191, 192? haha no worries... just go step by step...

good luck n many pips...

Hi everyone at Forex Factory. This was my old tread- http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...t=74959&page=3

Anyway, I needed an EA so I hired a programmer. Cost me some cash but in the end it is worth it. In the positive nature of Forex Factory, I will open source my EA to anyone that wants it under a few conditions though.

1. No one is allowed to take it and sell it on ebay or wherever. Part of open source means that it stays open source.
2. I need testers. So if you decide to test, we need to create a way so it doesn't get too messy.
3. If you are a programmer and want to contribute first discuss with me what you want to change. Then, when you upload the modified EA, it should have the version number and a list of upgrades that were done to it.
4. If you just want to stay around and learn from this tread, than sweet.

In the up coming posts, I will open source and discuss what this EA does and some bugs that I have come up.

I'm looking forward to having a great time and building an awesome tread with your help!

Keep in touch

To do list: If you can help, private message me or just reply to the post
6/18 change arrays to iHigh and iLow so EA can be set on any chart and still use information from daily.

Gcash,

Thanks for your interests. My private messages are enabled and it said yours are disabled when I tried to PM you. Anyway, thats awesome you want to help. If you have any particular suggestions or questions, either PM me or write them on the tread over here.

Yea, 191 and 192 scare me lol. I think you answered my question about changing the charts to different times while the EA is working. I don't think it will affect it.
