Hey Hanovre,
Do you have/know an EA to help orders only triggered at the bid ? I trade a grid and sometimes orders get triggered by the spread and i wanna avoid it as much as possible.

Assuming that you mean the Display Info indicator, see this post. Since posting it, I have upgraded to Pepperstone MT4 build 950, and the version of the indicator in the link continues to work fine. However, make sure that you delete any .mq4 file.

I don't understand. Sure, it's possible to enter orders when the bid price reaches a certain value -- if that's what you're asking -- but you still have to buy at the ask price, and incur the spread. There's no way to avoid the spread, regardless of whether you're trading manually or entering your orders using an EA.

Sorry, no. I have an order entry script that adjusts the spread for SL/TP, but with market orders it enters at the current price (ask for buy; or bid for sell).

Several months ago I saw a script (somewhere on the FF forums) that allowed entry when the bid price reached a user-designated trendline, but I can't find it now.

If you are using a script or EA to place your grid orders (as limit orders?), then that script/EA would need to be modified accordingly, i.e. having another script/EA would not help you, in any case.

Change the settings as shown in the first screenshot below. Feel welcome to experiment, most of the settings should be fairly self-explanatory.

I'm sorry, I don't understand why the DisplayInfo indicator is not working for you. See second screenshot.

I didn't write the indicator. I'm not certain exactly how it works, and I don't use it much any more. However, if I recall correctly, refreshing the indicator forces a re-plot which makes the erroneous lines disappear (you can force a refresh by toggling between chart timeframes). I assume the default settings can be changed, although I'm not sure.

I'm no longer coding or troubleshooting indicators, unless the indicator or EA is useful to me personally. If you want the bug fixed, you could try posting in one of the "I code your indicators for free" threads, and perhaps somebody else can help you. Or if you're willing to pay for the work, you could try MQL or elance.

Sorry about the delay in replying, we have moved house and I've been without internet for a week or two.

The process that generates the file is currently broken, but I will look at fixing it soon.

Hi hanover,
Recently Ive been having problems with the Signal indicator that doesn't compile on the new versions of MT4 due to numerous errors recognized in the code. Im currently using an old compiled version of the file but that doesn't solve my problem entirely.
I need this indicator in mq4 because Im using it on multiple platforms with different settings. I need the ability to plot the indicator on the charts and remove it in need of a real-estate on the charts, in situations like tiled view of the charts, over populated charts and so on.
Saving the indicators settings in a template does not work because applying the template on the chart wipes out all the other objects previously placed on it.
So I need the ability to set the external values in the mq4 and be able to plot and remove the indicator without constantly entering the external settings which in my case is impossible task.
I have been using this indicator since the beginning of my trading, and since 2011 when you last helped me with it its THE ONLY indicator I use on my charts.
I have no other need or motive behind my request.
I highly value your personality, skills, and input here on FF. If you prefer so you can always PM me. Thanks in advance Dave.

Diki.

Sorry I don't know any MT4 br0ker that offers these. However, here is a list of 200+ MT4 br0kers (clicking on the name takes you to their webpage). You could try e-mailing them.

I'm not surprised that it compiles with a zillion errors on build 600 onward. (All of my indicators do, hence the warning message at the top of each thread).

All I can do is attach the Signal.ex4 file that I use. It works 100% on my computer (Windows 7 Home Premium edition Service Pack 1; Pepperstone MT4 build 950). Make sure that you delete all Signal.mq4 files.

Beyond that, I have no way of knowing how your computer setup differs from mine, and I can't attempt to troubleshoot using anything other than my own computer, where I don't have any problems.

OK, ignore my previous comment, that's a different issue. In that case, you would need to get a programmer who is familiar with the MQL4 build 600 programming language (I am not) to update the indicator for you, so that it compiles without errors. You could try posting the Signal.mq4 file (attached) on one of the "I code your indicators for free" threads, or if you're willing to pay for the work, you could try MQL or elance.

Diki,

A lot of my indicators allow the use of parameter files. I've upgraded Signal.ex4 for you so that the attached copy now does the same. Unzip the file and download the files into the same folders as in the ZIP. Then you can use a text editor like Notepad to edit the Presets---Signal.1 file to change the parameter settings to any values you wish, and enter 1 as the ParameterFile in the indicator settings dialog. This will cause the settings in the file to be used (overriding those in the dialog).

After that, you can copy this file to have as many different parameter files (e.g.
Presets---Signal.1
Presets---Signal.2
Presets---Signal.3
Presets---Signal.4
Presets---Signal.GBP
Presets---Signal.M15
etc)
and edit each to have different settings. Then you simply set ParameterFile to 1, 2, 3, 4, GBP, M15 etc to choose the file whose settings you require. Saves you from typing in all of the settings each time you attach the indicator to a chart.

Hope this helps. (I haven't included the Signal.mq4 file as it will compile with a zillion errors, if you compile it using build 600 or later).

David
_________________________

Additional instructions about the use of parameter files, copied from another post:

Parameter file(s)

To remove the nuisance of having to retype the same parameter settings every time you attach the indicator to a chart, you have two options:

1. Use MT4 templates (but these overwrite any other indicators, objects, etc that you also have on the chart). In this case, the indicator settings are defined when you attach or edit the indicator, using MT4's built-in dialog.

2. Use parameter file(s), as follows:

 If you enter nothing or TXT into the ParameterFile setting, then the indicator looks for a parameter file called Presets---Signal.TXT in the \experts\files folder.

 If you enter any other text (e.g. XXX, 1, etc) into the ParameterFile setting, then the indicator looks for a parameter file called Presets---Signal.XXX, Presets---Signal.1, etc in the ..../MQL4/Files folder. (This allows you to set up a different definition in each file, then simply enter the file suffix when you attach the indicator).

If the file can't be found, then the settings in MT4's dialog will be used. If the file is found, then the settings in the file will be used instead. Hence if you want to force the use of the MT4 dialog settings, simply enter the name of a non-existent file (e.g. "NONE").

Use a text editor like Notepad to view and/or edit the parameter presets files.

To disable an entry in the file, start the line with two slashes (//). (This means that the setting specified in the MT4 dialog will be used.) To re-enable it, remove the slashes. If you have multiple 'unslashed' entries in the file, the last will be used.

You may use any number of embedded spaces or underscores, and/or any combo of upper or lower case, to aid readability, however you wish.

Every line in the file (including blank lines) MUST end with a semi-colon (; ). Failure to do this will cause unpredictable results.

To save typing and improve accuracy, copy/paste the sample lines in the file. To disable the entire file, rename it, or delete its content.

To have any changes take immediate effect, either (1) re-attach the indicator to your chart; (2) edit the indicator (press Ctrl-I); or (3) toggle between timeframes. Otherwise the chart will not be refreshed/re-plotted until the RefreshPeriod setting takes effect.
