SuperJolt Snapper - Auto Screenshot Tool (MT4)

A member had recently asked me to code something that would take a screenshot when an order is opened or closed which got me thinking... Well this is the result, though as well as doing that, it will display the thumbnails as a list and allow you to click/preview/delete them from within the chart.

The list of images is displayed when either you move the mouse to the top/bottom left corner of the chart (indicator setting).

Prior to the order close screenshot being taken, the indicator will draw the necessary arrows and dotted line to show the trade.

To take a manual screenshot simply click the camera button. Click the Folder button to open the file location of the screenshots.

Click on a thumbnail to show a preview, click it again to close it and return to the list.

Awesome.

Do you think its possible to have one that takes screenshots.. tick by tick.. could be good for those that use MTF indicators and would like to see how they perform during reviews.

Super Jolt,
I like your ideas about the screenshots. Also I like the way you implement this in the fibo grid. It's great idea for traders to be able to easily document trades/setups, journal style, and to keep archive, so they can analize it later, it really helps people to improve and to learn from mistakes and to see what works and what doesn't.
I am currently working on something similar (inspired by your ideas) however I am using only MQL, and I will try to take these ideas even one step further..... (I like innovations!)

Excellent! To be honest, only reason I used a DLL was because I'm more comfortable with C# and therefore it's much quicker for me to create these things.. No reason any of that couldn't be achieved with MQL alone I do however have some plans for a couple big projects which can only work via DLL's so it's good practice to get things like this out there in the wild to see what does and doesn't work.

sure, you can take a screenshot tick by tick, the questions, what you are doing with this? i did it in the past on my ea, to generate a screenshot on every order, SL and something, also you can take this for every tick. in general, i never looked to the shots

Hi, just got my hands on your great snapper tool.
I cant get it to take a picture immediately at order open. Only when manually pressing the camera icon it takes a picture and puts it in default folder.

But I have an Dashboard EA that is opening the trades and I want to analyze my screen at the order open. Did I misunderstood, cant I use it for auto screenshot at order open?

I have set the screenshot at order open/close to true of coarse

Kind regards

Hey Superjolt
Love your work!

I'm not much of a coder, I'm trying to have the indicator draw a rectangle on the chart before the screenshot is taken.
Would it be possible to call a function to accomplish this, from within MQL4, or will it did to be encoded in the dll.

Hi SuperJolt,
BTW thank you for sharing this indicator very much appriciated. I would like to ask is there any possibilities to arrange the screenshot and add the ticket number on the file name? and also making a sub folders on it? example: Account Number>Date>Pair>12345_EURUSD_H1_2O16-4-20_08-21-23_OPEN
Thank you so much!

Yes, it would be useful, or a separate window version so it doens't cover the price. However many many compliments! This tool is AWESOME!!!

Thanks for the great indicator, very useful!

Can anyone point me to a line in the code where I can change the output file name so that it also includes the ticket number and the trade type (i.e. buy/sell)?

Thanks
