I noticed this issue while trying to draw Weekly MA's on a 4 hour chart. I'm using a Trading system called the Tunnel, 2 indicators, 2 MA's on a 4hr chart and 2 MA's on a weekly chart. I decided to include the weekly MA's on the 4hr chart. However, when I coded it and it drew the weekly MA's on...

Why would my iLow give me the day's open and not the low of the day? In fact the Open & Close & Low are all the same. I have used "PERIOD_D1" in stead of zero, but it still does not work. if(iLow(NULL,0,0)<(OrderOpenPrice()-(OrderTakeProfit()/10000))) {...

Hi all. My charts are freezing up on me while my EA is running, even though the price continues to change in the Market Watch section of MT4. I currently have 4 MT4's running, so perhaps that is the cause? As you can imagine, this is a big problem. I have turned off my screen saver...could that...

Previously in MT3 I used to use the "every 1 point (slow)" model. In MT4 which is the same model as "every 1 point (slow) model? Thank you

Greetings, On the metaquotes.net site there used to be a MQL II code for trading multiple charts with one expert advisor. I can’t seem to find the old FAQ MQL II or a replacement for the new MT4. The old code was: for cnt=1 to TotalTrades //count opened order ,a pair currency only one trade...

I found a cute little bug in the Strategytester. I think everyone should be aware of this. Even if you catch err, it does not show. int start(){OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYSTOP,1,Ask+5*Point,3,Ask+30*Point,0,NULL,0,Time[0]+24*60*60,Green);OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELLSTOP,1,Bid-5*Point,3,Bid-30*Point,0...

i have read posts here that say one thing, and my broker says another. Does strategy tester work in mt 4 ? does it work for 'mini' or all? is there any demo strategy tester that works that we can test our advisors before using real money? Thanks,

Use first code snippet: Search/Replace: - Check "Whole word only" - From: i - To: shift Replace all Note the "PRICE_CLOSEshift shift" in the first (and other) lines of the result. ma20p = iMA(NULL, PERIOD_M30, 20, 0, ma_method, PRICE_CLOSE, i); ma20p1 = iMA(NULL, PERIOD_M30, 20, 0, ma_method

A small thing. If you try to place a limit order with an illegal price (e.g. Limit Sell with a price below the current price), the error messge says "Invalid SL/TP" instead of "Invalid Price". Also, it would be nice if the price for the Limit would be pre-filled with the current Bid/Ask so one...

Two-Click-Ordering One thing that is quite high on my wishlist would be a way to easily set the TP/SL based on a pip difference for a manual order. Something similar to how it's done when modifying the order. I can see the problem in this because you'll need to know if it's a sell or and buy...

Hi, No ability to pass parameters to external dll by reference - I get null pointers inside the dll (using the debugger). Workaround is using arrays - but it is not so nice from a programmer point of view. Slawa, when this functionality will be available? Thanks Ruby

Always connection fails though the demo account works with MT4 trading station. The server and port I am using...

Hello, I'd like to be able to easily get the lotsize and the dollar value of a single point from within an expert. Reasoning: With brokers beginning to define lot sizes outside the norm (i.e., instead of 100000 units being 1 lot, some brokers are defining odd sizes, such as 70000, as 1 lot), it...

I have a program that is allowed to open several positions at a time. From time to time I want to close all open positions. I use the following loop. It works, but the problem is that it takes several ticks to close them all. Shouldn't this loop in this example go through all open positions and

Hi, I was using the "OrderSelect(1,SELECT_BY_POS);" function in MT4 and I noticed that this function only works if there is a space after the commas. So OrderSelect(1,SELECT_BY_POS); does not work, but ] OrderSelect(1, SELECT_BY_POS); does work. If a programmer forgets to include a space here this...

Hello, Why has MetaQuotes only used the start() function in MACD sample, whereas when I open a blank Expert Advisor ready to start programming in, it shows the start(), init() and deinit() functions. Why are the init() and deinit() functions missing from your MACD sample? Thank you. RJF
