CTFMT4 and MT4 build 600 issue: calling Trader613

Hi All,

I have been using Trader613's most excellent ctfmt4 seamlessly for a long time and today i have hit what seems to be a rather large snag.
the new build of mt4 "600" has somehow rendered it impossible for me to read the values created by the offline charts from a supplementary expert advisor

i have a feeling it has to do with file sharing capability being set to a default of restricted access as per the article below

if any one knows Trader613 and can flag him or has any idea's on what i can do to work around this issue i would be very grateful.

and to Trader613 i wonder if you can take a quick look at this and post a solution to this brilliant piece of code you have built...

If you have a script/EA/indicator generating your offline charts, it won't work in the new MT4 build.

i have created a basic alert to outline issue with some simple comment output

hi FerruFX,

any idea how we can access non standard tf charts in the new build like M10 and H2 etc?

Cobby

The offline history can't be created by your old scripts coded by older builds.

Hi FerruFX,

ctfmt4 is actually creating the offline history fine, its just that i cant access it from a secondary source anymore.

which is quite a pain to put it politely

construct them from M1 history and draw them (i.e. as histogram) : d

If I am not mistaken, The .hst files created by old build tools are no longer recognized by the new build.

But there is a "PeriodConverter" script in the MQL4\Scripts directory that will convert to arbitrary periods and save in (new) hst format, so that it can be of use.

hi rockit,

that's what i've migrated to, it seems more clunky than trader613's CTFMT4 code, but for the time being the period converter script is working...

I've been able to change my code to make it behave i think?

time will tell.

i've started to look at mt5 on the back of this and ....

Hello everyone!

Sorry to hear that the CTFMT4 is experiencing problems with MT4 build 600, I will get in touch with the programmer to see if he can address the issue.

Laters.

thank you kind sir!

Hi Trader613,

Thanks for your EA. I have recently try your CTFMT4 charts on FXDD and Oanda MT4, both did not work well.
Both show message 'cannot create file....... MT4 chart setting,ini,
Hope you can spend sometime to make it work.
Thank you so much

Has anyone figured out a decent way to make sub-M1 HST files on the new build?

Huzzit, any updates on indicators which can adjust timeframes for mt4 build 600 or latest release

Cheers!

Hello,
This is not working with the current version of MT4. Is there anyone who run this. Can anybody help me ?
