It does not compile under Build 610.

Just needs some cleanup, I hope, but it's beyond my scope.

So I'll just await an update

Just open it in MetaEditor and find "input" and replace for "imput" or ""whatever"" word you like. It will compile and work in build >610.

Hi 200km

Thank you for these 2 indicators.

orders_indicator.ex4
Trade_Plotter.ex4

Do you have de-compiled versions of them?

orders_indicator.mq4
Trade_Plotter.mq4

Would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

2014-Jul-04: New "P4L OrderHistory.mq4" (V9) released.

How do I get a strategy tester's results into the history so I can view it that way.?

Or a better way of asking, how do I get this script to display the results of a strategy test?

Thanks.

Is there no one who knows how this script works?

How do I take test results from the MT4 strategy tester, and save it in way that this will read the file?

So, I like this script alot... at least I think I do... At least I think I will like what it does if I can get it to do it.

I need to know the mechanics of taking my tester results and putting them in a file in a format that this script will read.

Is there anyone (author/creator/ or anyone) that has gotten this to work that can help me?

I'm using MT4. I guess I'm dense enough that I need step by step directions.
Do I highlight the test results and right click and copy, then paste into Excel, then same as CSV ?
Or, do I go to file save as, and save as a CSV ?
Then Do I have to do anything in the Excel file to make it compatible?

I've tried both the above, and still get error messages.

Thanks

This script seems to have potential, but I've been trying to get some data imported to display on a chart for several hours and its annoying. At first I was getting the 5004 or 5002 error because it couldn't find the data file. I then put it in \mql4\files folder, along with verifying that the column order of the history file was correct:
Inserted Code
order    opendt    type    lots    symbol    openprice    stoploss    takeprofit    closedt    closeprice    commission    taxes    swap    profit

This is the error I am getting (in reverse order):

I cannot figure out what is wrong. I will attach a sample history file, with the .set file that I use to load the P4L OrderHistory script.

Using windows 7, 64-bit and mt4 build 765, in /portable mode. (Exness Cent account). I'm sure i just missed something simple, but I'll let you be the judge.

btw, does your script only check the first 2 lines of a file, or does it check all of the lines to see if a particular symbol exists?

It is an excellent tool on actual trades executed.

I am looking for some tool to assess maximum drawdown - calculated from a price and dates, both supplied in the switch (from and to) or via an excel sheet - I can expect for a position for a certain period I am going to take on a currency pair. You have already put dates switch. If you can put a price switch as well and convert into a drawdown tool based on imaginary trade (instead of actual trades) it will be helpful for someone like me who is prepared to arrange margin for maximum drawdown rather that putting any stop losses.

At the moment, I am calculating and marking drawdown area based on area of stiff resistance (hit may be 10 times) or stiff support (hit may be 10 times).

thanks

Hi Guys and thanks to P4L for some excellent work. I love your P4L Clock Indi!

I'm also struggling to import some historical data into an MT4 terminal. I've tried a lot of different things:

- Changing the Headers in the CSV, (Messed around with these a lot!)
- Changing from Comma to Tabs as the delimiter,
- Changing my mixed symbol history to just a single symbol (EURUSD),
- Changing from buy/sell to 0/1 in the "type" Field
- Tried 4 different brokers MT4 terminals
- Tried importing historical 1M market data to match the imported trade timeframes,
- Tried setting the timeframes in the script to various values "0", or actual dates


Whatever I do I seem to keep getting

2015.07.14 12:26:39.405 P4L OrderHistory EURUSD.m,Daily: Alert: No trades displayed for this chart symbol! Open the View->Terminal window. Select AccountHistory tab. Change CustomPeriod.

I just found that there is already a Order record function in the MT4 softare, you cna drag and drop the order from Order history into the Chart, then the chart will display your order recorder clearly with arrows and lines.
