Came accross this piece of code (credit: Ben Nachtrieb) which seems to do the deed. It's a bit cumbersome though. This indicator creates a .csv file for every trade that occurs and then records the trade's entire progression to that file. So you end up with hundreds of .csv files that have chronicled the progression from -xxx pips to +xxx pips. It's a lot of work when it's time to chart everything in Excel; need to open them all one by one, pick the high and low points, then to have your statement show mae and mfe you need to enter them into your final spreadsheet manually. I'm attaching this in case anyone with similar needs comes across this post.
I'm still looking for an easier way so please drop a line here if you know something. Thanks.
Hi -- Apologies for bringing up such an old thread. Have done a search for an indicator / script to record mfe/mae for MT4 platform. There doesn't seem to be much around,was wondering if there have been any advances on the one posted in the thread above.
I am looking for the basics to be recorded for each trade such as mfe/mae , result , percentage gained of mfe , trade symbol , trade duration etc. Also to be able to export to excel for analysis. Does such a thing exist ?
I would be willing to pay someone to program such an indicator / script.
