Hi Guys, sorry to resurrect an old topic (hopefully it might still be useful to someone), but I am having some issues in running vHands properly even though I followed all the instructions accordingly (I double checked multiple times that is why I am pretty confident). I was hoping someone of you more experienced can be of help. Basically, the vhands history and vhands terminal indicators do not work (I cannot see the two sections that are supposed to appear once you attach them to the chart to create the template). When I try to compile them, it...

I am not an expert on EA, but from my point of view this tools cannot longer be use on MT4 Build 600+, i have tried both version, an confirm that i cannot add the vterminal and vhistory on the chart with MT4 build 646. I hope someone can correct the problem, i am looking for that

I have it installed on all builds of MT4 as portable install but type of install should not matter, when you add vterminal
and vhistory to your chart you will not see anything and may think it has done nothing, just save it as vHandsTrade.tpl as instructed and all will be fine

install issue is functioning as show stopper...

here is what I've done:
1. moved files into appropriately named folders...NOTE: indicator and include folders were NOT inside expert folder...all three are in MQL4 folder as seen in my explorer.
2. Open MT4; open strategy tester...no custom indicators folder, no vhistory, no vterminal.
3. follow compiling instructions given earlier in this thread:
open MLE
open navigator window...search indicator, include and expert folders for v anything....zilch.
open explorer and drag vhandstrade file into MLE...click compile button.... get "cannot open message" after 34 other errors including "void returns value" and "undeclared identifier".
4. reread/skim pages and pages of comments here to see if others have solved this problem already.

Running Windows 8; MT4 demo account software which i downloaded from metaquotes site.

I want a software/add-on that will disappear so i can concentrate on learning to trade...rather than learn to code or spend time on fiddle-y add-ons. So, if vhands is not for me, please say so and save me from pulling hair out/wasting time. If I can't get this to work, I'm in 200 for Forex tester 2...

thnx. S

Ok folks, here is the process for the MT4 build 625+

1) Open your MT4 Platform and click File -> Open Data Folder
2) Open the MQL4 Folder
3) Place files in Experts, Indicators and Include folders as specified on first page of this thread
4) Reload MT4 Platform and click and drag indicators from the Navigator window onto the chart you wish to use for your template. The indicators will not be visible from the Insert menu or in the indicator list but will save as part of the template
5) Save template as vHandsTrade.tpl
6) Run ExpertAdvisor in StrategyTester and voila!

I am working on a new manual strategy developing tool. It runs within MT4 and is very easy to use. It can be used to develop strategies based on multi-timeframes and multi-paris.

I will publish it in mid August.

Hi. I am new to the forum but have been actively reading for past year or so, just not big of a writer. I usually find answers after lookin around for sometime, but this time just cant get any. Read all the post that exist on problems of vHands. Maybe hopefully someone can help me here. I also posted on Code your EA thread to get some help there, cause I' m pretty sure it has something to do with code and new build. I did all the steps mentioned. Yes I did create template too. The problem I have is all the files have errors and warnings. So just logically it makes sense that vTerminal and vHistory do not load ever, as they have errors when being compiled or run... As well as vHandsTrade (warnings) and I think the Visual has warnings too. Just to give you detail of the warning on vHandsTrade - 'void' function returns a value, thats under Description. Under file sais VisualTestingTools.mq4. I download all possible versions around threads non of them gave a result. And vTerminal and vHistory - OnCalculate function not found in custom indicator (error, so it cant attach to graph not even after i save template with same name like mentioned before). VisualTestingTools.mq4 - event handling function not found ( this one sounds suspicious as all the other files warnings under file say VisualTestingTools so it links to this file but i don't get what is wrong). Also when i press on that line to see the code problem,
cursor appears before word return. So the warnings come from all returns ( it must be something with the code and new build i assume because i think if we fix this return the warnings will be gone). Also VisualTestingTools seems to have a problem too.

If anyone knows how to recode or fix this please help out. The purpose of this is to fix this issue and actually get an answer on this issue, I'm sure I'm not the one with this issue and this would certainly help out a bunch of people. Thank you.

I included the original file here.

I have the same problem and can't use those 2 indicators :\
I also tried to compile the vHandsTrade.mq4 in expert folder and it says "event handling function not found". Hope some coder can help fix this. Thanks!

If anybody would want to fix this with new builds, just add to vTerminal.mq4 and vHistory.mq4 this function - it is needed to compile:

int OnCalculate(const int rates_total,
const int prev_calculated,
const datetime& time[],
const double& open[],
const double& high[],
const double& low[],
const double& close[],
const long& tick_volume[],
const long& volume[],
const int& spread[])
{
return 0;
}



Just follow guide and all works

Hi HH,
I did exactly what NB suggested and it works like a treat! Just open the file in meta editor and copy and paste the extra lines. Compile the file afterwards and she is good to go.
Please let me know if you still need me to upload the amended files or if you need further assistance.
