Hi Guys, How can I make an EA to excute the script file in the script folder... Thanks Babar

I was wondering how we can draw histogram on the chart or rather cover the candles with a specific colour. For example I'm trying to cover white candles with the green colour when the white candle is longer than 15 pips. Here is the code I've written and I don't know what's wrong with it. Any ideas?...

How come with the bands indicator, I can adjust the deviation to lets say 1.7 versus 2.0, but when I program the same, it will not recognize a deviation of the bands of 1.7. Instead it reads it at 1. I used the extern double BandsDeviation = 2.0; and then changed it to 1.7, but the programming is...

Hello, I could not find out what "trade timeout" means. Can I get a trade timeout error message (error # 128) for a market order? Or can I only get trade timeout error message for pending orders? Can you also please give me an example of when an order "times out"? Thank you for your help...

Hi Slawa, If I try and place an order but order fails due to an execution error, can I resend same order straight away? For example if I get error number 4 (server busy) do i really have to wait "several minutes"? or can i just keep on trying to re-send order until it gets filled? If I keep on...
