I have built a strategy to check for the cross-over of the Ichimoku clouds,i.e., MODE_SENKOUSPANA & MODE_SENKOUSPANB. On the MT3, gave me only 1% return over 7 months. Not so good, but I feel good about the Expert MT4 so far. Only time will tell! Wonder anyone working with the Ichimoku clouds...

Hi, I was wondering whether it's possible to code an alert based on an simple moving average crossing a trendline ? There would be 2 trendlines (triangle). Is it possible for mq4 and/or mql language to identify a generic trendline? Ideally I'd like the same script on a number of currency pairs,...

How do you calculate OHLC with MT3 api ? Is it consistent across all MT3 servers or a broker based setting ? For example, I got tick data : bid/ask 1.2921/1.2924 ... 1.2919/1.2922 with the in between ticks being one of those 2. When I got the server data for that same period it gave me : O =...

I'm just testing it this way because this function is not being executed by MetaTrader4...

I have to admit that MT3/MT4 are by far the best trading platforms I have ever tried. Too bad never got involved earlier, but it is never too late. If it is not too much to ask, do you think in the future MT4's, it could also support P&F charting, including indicators to allow us to see when prices

Hi All, I like the MetaTrader platform and have some ideas I want to program in, custom indicators and so on. Is MQL4 conceptually similar to other languages?

I have the fallowing code for a customized indicator. Basically, I found that it detects the end of micro-trends, before the price corrects itself. However, the only drawback is that since I have several loops, and I placed the indicator on a profile that has many charts on it, it takes a while to...

I have an idea to write my own tester in the form of an indicator. The requirement - with minimal rework the Expert Advisor must be suitable for both standard and self-written testers. This is achieved by adding the prefix my to the standard constants and functions. Optimization is also acceptable
