Need Help with MT4

Hi, when ever i change settings of an indicator, it resets back to its default settings whenever i change time frame or close and reopen mt4, how can i fix this?

make your changes then save it as the default template.

I don't know exactly how to do that, please explain further.

I mean, i know how to save a template but that didn't solve the problem....

Do you have the code of this indicator? I mean the mq4 file. If yes you can change the parameters directly in the code of the indicator. After that the new values will become default ones.

Input parameters are followed by "extern" in the mq4 file. For example:

extern int Len=5;

Just change the value and save file. That's all.

Am not sure what to change, i've attached the screenshot of the code

CountBars, SSP, Kmin, Kmax, gAlert - these are the settings of your indicator.
If you want for example to change the value of Kmin to 2.5 then you have to change this line:

extern double Kmin=1.6;

into this:

extern double Kmin=2.5;

That's what I mean.

I've uploaded the indicator, please help me correct it so that any changes that i made later on will remain until i change the values again, but i need to know what you did though because i need to do the correction for other indicators that give me this problem, thanks.

The values of your parameters was as follows:

CountBars - 400
SSP - 5
Kmin - 1.6
Kmax - 50.6
gAlert - False

I have changed them into the following values:

CountBars - 600
SSP - 9
Kmin - 2.5
Kmax - 80.2
gAlert - True

When you add my version of indicator to the chart you will have my settings. My version is attached to this post.


That is your version:




and this is mine:



I have only made changes in these 5 lines.

I hope it helps

Edit: One more thing. This way you can change the default settings - they will stay the same when you close and reopen MT, add indicator to a new chart etc. But if in the future you would like to have new default setting you would have to change the file one more time. I'm not sure if this suits you.

Thanks for the changes, i'll check it out. I open another indicator that gives me the same problem to try and replicate your changes but the codes aren't similar.........that won't be a problem though because the forexoffline indicator is the one that needs fixing the most, i use it in combination with another indicator for exits.

Thanks for your time.

Try to locate the lines which begin with "extern" - this line are lines with settings... or just send me the file and I will show you what to change

No problem at all. I have plenty of time

Thanks
