hi,

i've found this great market profile, but it slow down metatrader and often crash it. i can't find a reason why.

could somebody have a look at the code? see if it's poorly coded and if the problem can be solve?

and if people are willing to share some market profile indicator that works, it would be great! i found some but this one was the best....

thanks!

Indicators cannot sleep . . .

Inserted Code
   //---delay 5 seconds      
   Sleep(5000);

Sleep()

"The Sleep() function cannot be called from custom indicators since they calculate in the interface thread and may not decelerate it. "

Is the Sleep() needed ? why is it there ? answer that and then you will know if it can be removed. If it can't be removed then you will need to find an alternative way of doing what is needed from the Sleep() . . . without decelerating the Interface thread.
