Problems compiling an indicator after new MetaEditor Update

@cja: many thanks for the info. A real eye-opener to a programmer (me!) who has naively sought to help other traders. Obviously the more one shares, the more one leaves oneself vulnerable to be ripped off. Hence I won't be sharing anything further, that I deem to be remotely valuable. @ydrol: thanks for your reply. On the one hand, I've read posts saying that existing .ex4s can be ported 'as is' to the new MT4, and on the other, posts suggesting that indicators and EAs break, unless they're completely rewritten. Likewise, I've read posts saying...
Sharing of "non-valuable" indicators or components I think aren't useful by themselves is the approach I've taken. I've had my fingers fried before but had no idea the piracy of MT4 code was blatant. If people are going to respect copyright notices they aren't going to care much for a GPL usage license.

Many thanks also CJA.

A thing I have noticed though is that some user who are running MT4 using WINE on Linux are having trouble - the problem doesn't seem to consistent either. I've released a correlation indicator that off-loads the grunt work to a C++ DLL. It works with some brokers installs and not others (for reference: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...66#post7253566)

If anyone has any insight on this issue it would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Don't copy the mq4 files in the new platform. Only .ex4 files compiled under your old platform (509).

Hello FerruFX the great

I have a few mq4 indicator which do not work in the new MT4 build 600 or 611.
I am new in forex trading and don't know anything about coding/MQ programming.

Is there any software available to convert those MQ4 files to EX4?

hanover's and euclid's method HERE should still work, although I haven't tried it yet as I have managed to tweak all of my b509-compatible-only code to make them more b600+-compatible with zero errors and warnings, prior to my update to b604.

The only exceptions are hanover's Display All Info and Trade History indicators, but I'm content to use my last good ex4's for those.
I'm not trying to convince anyone. I'm not in the "convincing" business.

Hi Guys.

I have this EA (named 0) written directly for me that I have been using for a long time and all of sudden it stopped working. I recently realized that its metquotes who make me so angry not the EA itself.

Im sure many of you will find this EA very useful so feel free to download it and use it. It calculates the distance from one point to the other and you can add spread to the calculated value. You can add 5 lines so simultaneously you can work out 4 distances from one line. Very useful. The lines itself work kind of like fibbs but it has this useful function of calculating the distance between lines so that you can very quickly decide what position size you should take.

The problem after the recent update is that it goes crazy when I switch the time frame. It stops calculating the distance. It only works when I add it and dont change the time frame.

The next EA called TFAlert is supposed to give you an alarm when the price closes below or above pointed level. Unfortunately I have only ex4 file so am not sure if it can be modified. It doesnt work at all and I didnt even had a chance to check it as the new build ruined everything.


If any of you would be so kind to fix it I would be very grateful.

As a thank you I will add one more indicator that is very useful and it is working regardless of a build of the MT. Its called lot size calc. Connected with functionality of the EA I mentioned earlier "0" EA makes trading much smoother.

Thanks!
