A traded symbol plays an important role in trading. First of all, a program is attached to a a symbol chart (with the exception of services). Besides, it works and performs trading and other operations based on that symbol. Therefore, it would be reasonable to create conditions for convenient obtaining of data on necessary symbols with the ability to analyze and compare them. To achieve that, we will develop a symbol object, a symbol object collection and symbol collection events.
Symbol object
In this article, we will create a basic object representing a kind of an "abstract" symbol. Then, when creating a symbol collection, we will create objects derived from the basic symbol object clarifying data on the symbol's belonging to one or another symbol group and allowing/denying some of the basic object properties.Let's divide symbol objects into categories:
- Forex symbol
- Major Forex symbol
- Minor Forex symbol
- Exotic Forex symbol
- Forex symbol/RUR
- Metal
- Index
- Indicative
- Cryptocurrency symbol
- Commodity symbol
- Exchange symbol
- Binary option
- Custom symbol
Of course, all these categories are arbitrary. Placing a symbol in a particular category is quite subjective and depends on user's
preferences. Some clarity can be obtained from the "symbol tree path" symbol property. It contains the symbol location path in a
certain symbol tree folder allowing you to assign a category matching a folder name to a symbol. However, each server the terminal
connects to may have its own folders for storing symbols with matching names. The folders' names may vary from server to server.
Based on what we have, the first thing we do is determine the category of a symbol from the custom list of categories, and if the
symbol is not found in the custom category, then we should have a look at its location folder in the symbol tree. If the category cannot be
defined from its location folder, the final choice of the symbol category is its "contract price calculation method" property
allowing us to define and select one of the two symbol categories — exchange or Forex.
However, all this will be done later when developing the symbol object collection. Now we need to start creating the basic symbol object.
Let's start from defining enumerations and macro substitutions for the symbol object properties. Open the Defines.mqh file and add the necessary data for working with a symbol at the end of the listing:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Data for working with symbols | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Abstract symbol type (status) | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ enum ENUM_SYMBOL_STATUS { SYMBOL_STATUS_FX, // Forex symbol SYMBOL_STATUS_FX_MAJOR, // Major Forex symbol SYMBOL_STATUS_FX_MINOR, // Minor Forex symbol SYMBOL_STATUS_FX_EXOTIC, // Exotic Forex symbol SYMBOL_STATUS_FX_RUB, // Forex symbol/RUB SYMBOL_STATUS_FX_METAL, // Metal SYMBOL_STATUS_INDEX, // Index SYMBOL_STATUS_INDICATIVE, // Indicative SYMBOL_STATUS_CRYPTO, // Cryptocurrency symbol SYMBOL_STATUS_COMMODITY, // Commodity symbol SYMBOL_STATUS_EXCHANGE, // Exchange symbol SYMBOL_STATUS_BIN_OPTION, // Binary option SYMBOL_STATUS_CUSTOM, // Custom symbol }; //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
The symbol status is its belonging to the symbol category that will be selected before creating an object derived from the basic symbol object. We will do this when describing the symbol collection development.
Let's add the symbol integer properties:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Symbol integer properties | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ enum ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER { SYMBOL_PROP_STATUS = 0, // Symbol status SYMBOL_PROP_CUSTOM, // Custom symbol flag SYMBOL_PROP_CHART_MODE, // The price type used for generating bars – Bid or Last (from the ENUM_SYMBOL_CHART_MODE enumeration) SYMBOL_PROP_EXIST, // Flag indicating that the symbol under this name exists SYMBOL_PROP_SELECT, // An indication that the symbol is selected in Market Watch SYMBOL_PROP_VISIBLE, // An indication that the symbol is displayed in Market Watch SYMBOL_PROP_SESSION_DEALS, // The number of deals in the current session SYMBOL_PROP_SESSION_BUY_ORDERS, // The total number of Buy orders at the moment SYMBOL_PROP_SESSION_SELL_ORDERS, // The total number of Sell orders at the moment SYMBOL_PROP_VOLUME, // Last deal volume SYMBOL_PROP_VOLUMEHIGH, // Maximum volume within a day SYMBOL_PROP_VOLUMELOW, // Minimum volume within a day SYMBOL_PROP_TIME, // Latest quote time SYMBOL_PROP_DIGITS, // Number of decimal places SYMBOL_PROP_DIGITS_LOTS, // Number of decimal places for a lot SYMBOL_PROP_SPREAD, // Spread in points SYMBOL_PROP_SPREAD_FLOAT, // Floating spread flag SYMBOL_PROP_TICKS_BOOKDEPTH, // Maximum number of orders displayed in the Depth of Market SYMBOL_PROP_TRADE_CALC_MODE, // Contract price calculation method (from the ENUM_SYMBOL_CALC_MODE enumeration) SYMBOL_PROP_TRADE_MODE, // Order execution type (from the ENUM_SYMBOL_TRADE_MODE enumeration) SYMBOL_PROP_START_TIME, // Symbol trading start date (usually used for futures) SYMBOL_PROP_EXPIRATION_TIME, // Symbol trading end date (usually used for futures) SYMBOL_PROP_TRADE_STOPS_LEVEL, // Minimum distance in points from the current close price for setting Stop orders SYMBOL_PROP_TRADE_FREEZE_LEVEL, // Freeze distance for trading operations (in points) SYMBOL_PROP_TRADE_EXEMODE, // Deal execution mode (from the ENUM_SYMBOL_TRADE_EXECUTION enumeration) SYMBOL_PROP_SWAP_MODE, // Swap calculation model (from the ENUM_SYMBOL_SWAP_MODE enumeration) SYMBOL_PROP_SWAP_ROLLOVER3DAYS, // Triple-day swap (from the ENUM_DAY_OF_WEEK enumeration) SYMBOL_PROP_MARGIN_HEDGED_USE_LEG, // Calculating hedging margin using the larger leg (Buy or Sell) SYMBOL_PROP_EXPIRATION_MODE, // Flags of allowed order expiration modes SYMBOL_PROP_FILLING_MODE, // Flags of allowed order filling modes SYMBOL_PROP_ORDER_MODE, // Flags of allowed order types SYMBOL_PROP_ORDER_GTC_MODE, // StopLoss and TakeProfit orders lifetime if SYMBOL_EXPIRATION_MODE=SYMBOL_EXPIRATION_GTC (from the ENUM_SYMBOL_ORDER_GTC_MODE enumeration) SYMBOL_PROP_OPTION_MODE, // Option type (from the ENUM_SYMBOL_OPTION_MODE enumeration) SYMBOL_PROP_OPTION_RIGHT, // Option right (Call/Put) (from the ENUM_SYMBOL_OPTION_RIGHT enumeration) SYMBOL_PROP_BACKGROUND_COLOR // The color of the background used for the symbol in Market Watch }; #define SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_TOTAL (35) // Total number of integer properties #define SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_SKIP (1) // Number of symbol integer properties not used in sorting //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
We have already considered arranging enumerations of object properties in the "Implementing
event handling on a netting account" section of the sixth part of the library description, so we will not dwell on defining the purpose of
macro substitutions of the number of properties and the number of object properties not used in search and sorting.
However, I should note that, apart from standard symbol object integer properties from the
ENUM_SYMBOL_INFO_INTEGER
enumeration, two more have been added:
symbol status and number
of decimal places in the symbol lot value.
Let's add the enumeration of symbol real properties:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Symbol real properties | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ enum ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE { SYMBOL_PROP_BID = SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_TOTAL, // Bid - the best price at which a symbol can be sold SYMBOL_PROP_BIDHIGH, // The highest Bid price of the day SYMBOL_PROP_BIDLOW, // The lowest Bid price of the day SYMBOL_PROP_ASK, // Ask - best price, at which an instrument can be bought SYMBOL_PROP_ASKHIGH, // The highest Ask price of the day SYMBOL_PROP_ASKLOW, // The lowest Ask price of the day SYMBOL_PROP_LAST, // The price at which the last deal was executed SYMBOL_PROP_LASTHIGH, // The highest Last price of the day SYMBOL_PROP_LASTLOW, // The lowest Last price of the day SYMBOL_PROP_VOLUME_REAL, // Volume of the day SYMBOL_PROP_VOLUMEHIGH_REAL, // Maximum Volume of the day SYMBOL_PROP_VOLUMELOW_REAL, // Minimum Volume of the day SYMBOL_PROP_OPTION_STRIKE, // Option execution price SYMBOL_PROP_POINT, // Point value SYMBOL_PROP_TRADE_TICK_VALUE, // SYMBOL_TRADE_TICK_VALUE_PROFIT value SYMBOL_PROP_TRADE_TICK_VALUE_PROFIT, // Calculated tick value for a winning position SYMBOL_PROP_TRADE_TICK_VALUE_LOSS, // Calculated tick value for a losing position SYMBOL_PROP_TRADE_TICK_SIZE, // Minimum price change SYMBOL_PROP_TRADE_CONTRACT_SIZE, // Trade contract size SYMBOL_PROP_TRADE_ACCRUED_INTEREST, // Accrued interest SYMBOL_PROP_TRADE_FACE_VALUE, // Face value – initial bond price set by an issuer SYMBOL_PROP_TRADE_LIQUIDITY_RATE, // Liquidity rate – share of an asset value that can be used as a collateral SYMBOL_PROP_VOLUME_MIN, // Minimum volume for a deal SYMBOL_PROP_VOLUME_MAX, // Maximum volume for a deal SYMBOL_PROP_VOLUME_STEP, // Minimum volume change step for a deal SYMBOL_PROP_VOLUME_LIMIT, // Maximum acceptable total volume of an open position and pending orders in one direction (buy or sell) SYMBOL_PROP_SWAP_LONG, // Long swap value SYMBOL_PROP_SWAP_SHORT, // Short swap value SYMBOL_PROP_MARGIN_INITIAL, // Initial margin SYMBOL_PROP_MARGIN_MAINTENANCE, // Maintenance margin for an instrument SYMBOL_PROP_MARGIN_LONG, // Margin requirement applicable to long positions SYMBOL_PROP_MARGIN_SHORT, // Margin requirement applicable to short positions SYMBOL_PROP_MARGIN_STOP, // Margin requirement applicable to Stop orders SYMBOL_PROP_MARGIN_LIMIT, // Margin requirement applicable to Limit orders SYMBOL_PROP_MARGIN_STOPLIMIT, // Margin requirement applicable to Stop Limit orders SYMBOL_PROP_SESSION_VOLUME, // The total volume of deals in the current session SYMBOL_PROP_SESSION_TURNOVER, // The total turnover in the current session SYMBOL_PROP_SESSION_INTEREST, // The total volume of open positions SYMBOL_PROP_SESSION_BUY_ORDERS_VOLUME, // The total volume of Buy orders at the moment SYMBOL_PROP_SESSION_SELL_ORDERS_VOLUME, // The total volume of Sell orders at the moment SYMBOL_PROP_SESSION_OPEN, // The open price of the session SYMBOL_PROP_SESSION_CLOSE, // The close price of the session SYMBOL_PROP_SESSION_AW, // The average weighted price of the session SYMBOL_PROP_SESSION_PRICE_SETTLEMENT, // The settlement price of the current session SYMBOL_PROP_SESSION_PRICE_LIMIT_MIN, // The minimum allowable price value for the session SYMBOL_PROP_SESSION_PRICE_LIMIT_MAX, // The maximum allowable price value for the session SYMBOL_PROP_MARGIN_HEDGED // Size of a contract or margin for one lot of hedged positions (oppositely directed positions at one symbol). }; #define SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE_TOTAL (47) // Total number of event's real properties #define SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE_SKIP (0) // Number of symbol real properties not used in sorting //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
Apart from the properties described in the ENUM_SYMBOL_INFO_DOUBLE
enumeration, we added five new symbol properties that for some
reason were not included into the description of the real properties enumeration but they are still present and belong to the enumeration.
Let's add the enumeration of symbol's string properties and possible symbol sorting criteria:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Symbol string properties | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ enum ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_STRING { SYMBOL_PROP_NAME = (SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_TOTAL+SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE_TOTAL), // Symbol name SYMBOL_PROP_BASIS, // The name of the underlaying asset for a derivative symbol SYMBOL_PROP_CURRENCY_BASE, // The base currency of an instrument SYMBOL_PROP_CURRENCY_PROFIT, // Profit currency SYMBOL_PROP_CURRENCY_MARGIN, // Margin currency SYMBOL_PROP_BANK, // The source of the current quote SYMBOL_PROP_DESCRIPTION, // The string description of a symbol SYMBOL_PROP_FORMULA, // The formula used for custom symbol pricing SYMBOL_PROP_ISIN, // The name of a trading symbol in the

SYMBOL_PROP_STRING_TOTAL (11) // Total number of string properties //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Possible symbol sorting criteria | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ #define FIRST_SYM_DBL_PROP (SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_TOTAL-SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_SKIP) #define FIRST_SYM_STR_PROP (SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_TOTAL-SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_SKIP+SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE_TOTAL-SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE_SKIP) enum ENUM_SORT_SYMBOLS_MODE { //--- Sort by integer properties SORT_BY_SYMBOL_STATUS = 0, // Sort

The enumeration of string properties now features the appropriate constants from the ENUM_SYMBOL_INFO_STRING
enumeration, while the list of possible sorting criteria contains all symbol properties excluding symbol background color in the Market Watch window.
There is no reason to sort and compare symbols by their background color in the window belonging to the terminal.
This is all the necessary data for working with symbol objects.
Now let's develop the symbol object class.
In \MQL5\Include\DoEasy\Objects\, create the new file of the CCymbol class named Symbol.mqh. Fill the class with inclusions and methods that are standard for the library right away:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Symbol.mqh | //| Copyright 2018, MetaQuotes Software Corp. | //| https://mql5.com/en/users/artmedia70 | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ #property copyright "Copyright 2018, MetaQuotes Software Corp." #property link "https://mql5.com/en/users/artmedia70" #property version "1.00" #property strict // Necessary for mql4 //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Include files | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ #include <Object.mqh> #include "..\..\Services\DELib.mqh" //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Abstract symbol class | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ class CSymbol : public CObject { private: long m_long_prop[SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_TOTAL]; // Integer properties double m_double_prop[SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE_TOTAL]; // Real properties string m_string_prop[SYMBOL_PROP_STRING_TOTAL]; // String properties //--- Return the index of the array the symbol's (1) double and (2) string properties are located at int IndexProp(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE property) const { return(int)property-SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_TOTAL; } int IndexProp(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_STRING property) const { return(int)property-SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_TOTAL-SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE_TOTAL; } public: //--- Default constructor CSymbol(void){;} protected: //--- Protected parametric constructor CSymbol(ENUM_SYMBOL_STATUS symbol_status,const string name); public: //--- Set (1) integer, (2) real and (3) string symbol properties void SetProperty(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER property,long value) { this.m_long_prop[property]=value; } void SetProperty(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE property,double value) { this.m_double_prop[this.IndexProp(property)]=value; } void SetProperty(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_STRING property,string value) { this.m_string_prop[this.IndexProp(property)]=value; } //--- Return (1) integer, (2) real and (3) string symbol properties from the properties array long GetProperty(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER property) const { return this.m_long_prop[property]; } double GetProperty(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE property) const { return this.m_double_prop[this.IndexProp(property)]; } string GetProperty(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_STRING property) const { return this.m_string_prop[this.IndexProp(property)]; } //--- Return the flag of a symbol supporting the property virtual bool SupportProperty(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER property) { return true; } virtual bool SupportProperty(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE property) { return true; } virtual bool SupportProperty(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_STRING property) { return true; } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Description of symbol object properties | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //--- Get description of a symbol (1) integer, (2) real and (3) string properties string GetPropertyDescription(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER property); string GetPropertyDescription(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE property); string GetPropertyDescription(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_STRING property); //--- Return symbol status name string StatusDescription(void) const; //--- Send description of symbol properties to the journal (full_prop=true - all properties, false - only supported ones) void Print(const bool full_prop=false); //--- Compare CSymbol objects by all possible properties (for sorting lists by a specified symbol object property) virtual int Compare(const CObject *node,const int mode=0) const; //--- Compare CSymbol objects by all properties (for searching for equal event objects) bool IsEqual(CSymbol* compared_symbol) const; };
We have already considered all these methods in the first part of the library description. There is no point in dwelling on them here.
Now let's add the variables necessary for the class operation to the private section:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Symbol.mqh | //| Copyright 2018, MetaQuotes Software Corp. | //| https://mql5.com/en/users/artmedia70 | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ #property copyright "Copyright 2018, MetaQuotes Software Corp." #property link "https://mql5.com/en/users/artmedia70" #property version "1.00" #property strict // Necessary for mql4 //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Include files | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ #include <Object.mqh> #include "..\..\Services\DELib.mqh" //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Abstract symbol class | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ class CSymbol : public CObject { private: MqlTick m_tick; // Symbol tick structure MqlBookInfo m_book_info_array[]; // Array of the market depth data structures string m_symbol_name; // Symbol name long m_long_prop[SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_TOTAL]; // Integer properties double m_double_prop[SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE_TOTAL]; // Real properties string m_string_prop[SYMBOL_PROP_STRING_TOTAL]; // String properties int m_digits_currency; // Number of decimal places in an account currency int m_global_error; // Global error code //--- Return the index of the array the symbol's (1) double and (2) string properties are located at int IndexProp(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE property) const { return(int)property-SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_TOTAL; } int IndexProp(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_STRING property) const { return(int)property-SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_TOTAL-SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE_TOTAL; } //--- Reset all symbol object data void Reset(void); public: //--- Default constructor CSymbol(void){;} protected: //--- Protected parametric constructor CSymbol(ENUM_SYMBOL_STATUS symbol_status,const string name);
We are going to obtain Ask, Bid, Last price and tick time data from the tick
structure — in milliseconds for MQL5 and in seconds for MQL4. Although the millisecond field is present in the tick structure in
MQL4, it is not used. Therefore, for MQL4, we will use second time * 1000 for converting it to the millisecond format.
We will need the array of market depth data structures
later when obtaining the market depth content (not in this article).
A global error code — there may be cases when a library-based
program cannot operate further due to an error execution of a method or a function. The program should be informed of the error execution of a
method or a function so that it is able to correctly handle the situation in a timely manner. These are the cases we introduce the variable for.
It is to contain an error code, while the CEngine library base object surveys the error code. If the code contains a non-zero value, it is first
handled in the CEngine class. In case it is impossible to "solve the issue" by internal means, the code is sent to a calling program for a timely
response to the error.
Before creating a symbol object, all its fields and structures should be reset.
This is what the Reset() method is used for.
In the protected class constructor, fill in all symbol properties using the standard functions. However, not all functions are suitable for MQL4, therefore, let's create the necessary methods of obtaining data in the protected class section for the cases where the separation of data obtained for MQL5 and MQL4 should be introduced:
protected: //--- Protected parametric constructor CSymbol(ENUM_SYMBOL_STATUS symbol_status,const string name); //--- Get and return integer properties of a selected symbol from its parameters long SymbolExists(void) const; long SymbolCustom(void) const; long SymbolChartMode(void) const; long SymbolMarginHedgedUseLEG(void) const; long SymbolOrderFillingMode(void) const; long SymbolOrderMode(void) const; long SymbolOrderGTCMode(void) const; long SymbolOptionMode(void) const; long SymbolOptionRight(void) const; long SymbolBackgroundColor(void) const; long SymbolCalcMode(void) const; long SymbolSwapMode(void) const; long SymbolExpirationMode(void) const; long SymbolDigitsLot(void); //--- Get and return real properties of a selected symbol from its parameters double SymbolBidHigh(void) const; double SymbolBidLow(void) const; double SymbolVolumeReal(void) const; double SymbolVolumeHighReal(void) const; double SymbolVolumeLowReal(void) const; double SymbolOptionStrike(void) const; double SymbolTradeAccruedInterest(void) const; double SymbolTradeFaceValue(void) const; double SymbolTradeLiquidityRate(void) const; double SymbolMarginHedged(void) const; //--- Get and return string properties of a selected symbol from its parameters string SymbolBasis(void) const; string SymbolBank(void) const; string SymbolISIN(void) const; string SymbolFormula(void) const; string SymbolPage(void) const; //--- Return the number of decimal places of the account currency int DigitsCurrency(void) const { return this.m_digits_currency; } //--- Search for a symbol and return the flag indicating its presence on the server bool Exist(void) const; public:
In the public class section, declare the methods returning the states of various flags describing allowed modes of some symbol properties, as well as string descriptions of these modes:
public: //--- Set (1) integer, (2) real and (3) string symbol properties void SetProperty(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER property,long value) { this.m_long_prop[property]=value; } void SetProperty(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE property,double value) { this.m_double_prop[this.IndexProp(property)]=value; } void SetProperty(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_STRING property,string value) { this.m_string_prop[this.IndexProp(property)]=value; } //--- Return (1) integer, (2) real and (3) string symbol properties from the properties array long GetProperty(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER property) const { return this.m_long_prop[property]; } double GetProperty(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE property) const { return this.m_double_prop[this.IndexProp(property)]; } string GetProperty(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_STRING property) const { return this.m_string_prop[this.IndexProp(property)]; } //--- Return the flag of a symbol supporting the property virtual bool SupportProperty(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER property) { return true; } virtual bool SupportProperty(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE property) { return true; } virtual bool SupportProperty(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_STRING property) { return true; } //--- Return the flag of allowing (1) market, (2) limit, (3) stop (4) and stop limit orders, //--- the flag of allowing setting (5) StopLoss and (6) TakeProfit orders, (7) as well as closing by an opposite order bool IsMarketOrdersAllowed(void) const { return((this.OrderModeFlags() & SYMBOL_ORDER_MARKET)==SYMBOL_ORDER_MARKET); } bool IsLimitOrdersAllowed(void) const { return((this.OrderModeFlags() & SYMBOL_ORDER_LIMIT)==SYMBOL_ORDER_LIMIT); } bool IsStopOrdersAllowed(void) const { return((this.OrderModeFlags() & SYMBOL_ORDER_STOP)==SYMBOL_ORDER_STOP); } bool IsStopLimitOrdersAllowed(void) const { return((this.OrderModeFlags() & SYMBOL_ORDER_STOP_LIMIT)==SYMBOL_ORDER_STOP_LIMIT); } bool IsStopLossOrdersAllowed(void) const { return((this.OrderModeFlags() & SYMBOL_ORDER_SL)==SYMBOL_ORDER_SL);

Also, add the following elements to the public section of the class:
the
error code obtaining method, the method of obtaining all data by a symbol,
the method of updating quote data by a symbol, as well as
additional methods for
adding/removing a
symbol from the Market Watch window, the method returning the flag of data
synchronization by a symbol and the methods for subscribing to the
market depth and unsubscribing from it.
We will arrange the work with the market depth in subsequent articles.
//--- Return the global error code int GetError(void) const { return this.m_global_error; } //--- Update all symbol data that can change void Refresh(void); //--- Update quote data by a symbol void RefreshRates(void); //--- (1) Add, (2) remove a symbol from the Market Watch window, (3) return the data synchronization flag by a symbol bool SetToMarketWatch(void) const { return ::SymbolSelect(this.m_symbol_name,true); } bool RemoveFromMarketWatch(void) const { return ::SymbolSelect(this.m_symbol_name,false); } bool IsSynchronized(void) const { return ::SymbolIsSynchronized(this.m_symbol_name); } //--- (1) Arrange a (1) subscription to the market depth, (2) close the market depth bool BookAdd(void) const; bool BookClose(void) const;
Since we have methods returning any property by its name (enumeration constant), we already can obtain data on any of the external properties
but this is not practical from the programming perspective as we need to remember all constant names from the enumerations of the symbol
object properties. Therefore (as in the previous classes and for the same reason), we will introduce additional public methods that return
all the properties of the symbol object, but with more informative names.
Add them at the very end of the class body:

The constructor inputs are symbol status and its
name. When creating the symbol collection, we move along all the necessary symbols in a loop defining whether they belong to a
previously set category (in the ENUM_SYMBOL_STATUS enumeration) and create a new object derived from the abstract symbol class. Only the
symbol name is passed to the derived class, while the status is set automatically based on the derived object type and sent to the parent class
constructor when creating the derived object. We have already analyzed that when discussing creation of order objects
in the second part of the library description.
Initialize
the error code in the constructor initialization list right away.
In the method body, first check
if such a symbol is present on the server. If not, send the error message to the journal and add the "Unknown symbol" value to the error
code. This check is, in fact, unnecessary, since data on a symbol selected from the list is passed to the object when creating it. But I think,
it should be present since an incorrect symbol may be passed to the newly created object.
Next, we obtain data on the last tick. If none is received,
send the appropriate message to the journal and assign the value of the last error to the error code using
GetLastError(). The object is created in any case, while the error code
allows making a decision in a calling program on whether it should be left intact or removed.
Next, all symbol object data is initialized (reset) and the number
of decimal places for the account currency is set for the correct output of values to the journal.
All object
properties are filled using SymbolInfo functions. In cases where there are differences in MQL5 and MQL4 for receiving these values, the
data is filled with specially created methods that will be described later.
Below is the method for comparing two symbol objects for searching and sorting:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //|Compare CSymbol objects by all possible properties | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ int CSymbol::Compare(const CObject *node,const int mode=0) const { const CSymbol *symbol_compared=node; //--- compare integer properties of two symbols if(mode<SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_TOTAL) { long value_compared=symbol_compared.GetProperty((ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER)mode); long value_current=this.GetProperty((ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER)mode); return(value_current>value_compared ? 1 : value_current<value_compared ? -1 : 0); } //--- compare real properties of two symbols else if(mode<SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_TOTAL+SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE_TOTAL) { double value_compared=symbol_compared.GetProperty((ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE)mode); double value_current=this.GetProperty((ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE)mode); return(value_current>value_compared ? 1 : value_current<value_compared ? -1 : 0); } //--- compare string properties of two symbols else if(mode<SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_TOTAL+SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE_TOTAL+SYMBOL_PROP_STRING_TOTAL) { string value_compared=symbol_compared.GetProperty((ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_STRING)mode); string value_current=this.GetProperty((ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_STRING)mode); return(value_current>value_compared ? 1 : value_current<value_compared ? -1 : 0); } return 0; } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
Below is the method for comparing two symbol objects to define whether they are equal to each other:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Compare CSymbol objects by all properties | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ bool CSymbol::IsEqual(CSymbol *compared_symbol) const { int beg=0, end=SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_TOTAL; for(int i=beg; i<end; i++) { ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER prop=(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER)i; if(this.GetProperty(prop)!=compared_symbol.GetProperty(prop)) return false; } beg=end; end+=SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE_TOTAL; for(int i=beg; i<end; i++) { ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE prop=(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE)i; if(this.GetProperty(prop)!=compared_symbol.GetProperty(prop)) return false; } beg=end; end+=SYMBOL_PROP_STRING_TOTAL; for(int i=beg; i<end; i++) { ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_STRING prop=(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_STRING)i; if(this.GetProperty(prop)!=compared_symbol.GetProperty(prop)) return false; } return true; } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
I have already described both methods in the first and fifth parts of the library description.
Below is the method for initializing all symbol object properties:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Reset all symbol object data | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void CSymbol::Reset(void) { int beg=0, end=SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_TOTAL; for(int i=beg; i<end; i++) { ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER prop=(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER)i; this.SetProperty(prop,0); } beg=end; end+=SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE_TOTAL; for(int i=beg; i<end; i++) { ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE prop=(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE)i; this.SetProperty(prop,0); } beg=end; end+=SYMBOL_PROP_STRING_TOTAL; for(int i=beg; i<end; i++) { ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_STRING prop=(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_STRING)i; this.SetProperty(prop,NULL); } } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
The method works identically to the previous ones, but instead of comparing to the specimen object, all class fields are reset here in a loop for each of the three property sets.
Below are the methods for receiving symbol's integer properties that are either completely or partially absent in MQL4:
//+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Integer properties | //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return the symbol existence flag | //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ long CSymbol::SymbolExists(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoInteger(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_EXIST) #else this.Exist() #endif); } //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return the custom symbol flag | //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ long CSymbol::SymbolCustom(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoInteger(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_CUSTOM) #else false #endif); } //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return the price type for building bars - Bid or Last | //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ long CSymbol::SymbolChartMode(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoInteger(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_CHART_MODE) #else SYMBOL_CHART_MODE_BID #endif); } //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ //|Return the calculation mode of a hedging margin using the larger leg | //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ long CSymbol::SymbolMarginHedgedUseLEG(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoInteger(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_MARGIN_HEDGED_USE_LEG) #else false #endif); } //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return the order filling policies flags | //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ long CSymbol::SymbolOrderFillingMode(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoInteger(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_FILLING_MODE) #else 0 #endif ); } //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return the flag allowing the closure by an opposite position | //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ bool CSymbol::IsCloseByOrdersAllowed(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__(this.OrderModeFlags() & SYMBOL_ORDER_CLOSEBY)==SYMBOL_ORDER_CLOSEBY #else (bool)::MarketInfo(this.m_symbol_name,MODE_CLOSEBY_ALLOWED) #endif ); } //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return the lifetime of pending orders and | //| placed StopLoss/TakeProfit levels | //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ long CSymbol::SymbolOrderGTCMode(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoInteger(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_ORDER_GTC_MODE) #else SYMBOL_ORDERS_GTC #endif); } //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return the option type | //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ long CSymbol::SymbolOptionMode(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoInteger(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_OPTION_MODE) #else SYMBOL_OPTION_MODE_NONE #endif); } //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return the option right | //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ long CSymbol::SymbolOptionRight(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoInteger(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_OPTION_RIGHT) #else SYMBOL_OPTION_RIGHT_NONE #endif); } //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ //|Return the background color used to highlight a symbol in Market Watch| //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ long CSymbol::SymbolBackgroundColor(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoInteger(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_BACKGROUND_COLOR) #else clrNONE #endif); } //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return the margin calculation method | //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ long CSymbol::SymbolCalcMode(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoInteger(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_TRADE_CALC_MODE) #else (long)::MarketInfo(this.m_symbol_name,MODE_MARGINCALCMODE) #endif); } //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return the swaps calculation method | //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ long CSymbol::SymbolSwapMode(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoInteger(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_SWAP_MODE) #else (long)::MarketInfo(this.m_symbol_name,MODE_SWAPTYPE) #endif); } //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return the flags of allowed order expiration modes | //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+ long CSymbol::SymbolExpirationMode(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoInteger(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_EXPIRATION_MODE) #else (long)SYMBOL_EXPIRATION_GTC #endif); } //+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
Here we use the conditional compilation directives #ifdef
__MQL5__ — to compile for MQL5 and #else—
to compile for MQL4
#endif.
For MQL5, we simply obtain data from the SymbolInfoInteger() function with the required property ID, while for MQL4, we return either a strictly set value (if we know that this exact value is used in MQL4) or zero (or 'false', or a set macro substitution for the missing value).
Place the codes of another two methods in the same listing:
Below is the method returning the flags of allowed order types for a symbol:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return the flags of allowed order types | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ long CSymbol::SymbolOrderMode(void) const { return ( #ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoInteger(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_ORDER_MODE) #else (SYMBOL_ORDER_MARKET+SYMBOL_ORDER_LIMIT+SYMBOL_ORDER_STOP+SYMBOL_ORDER_SL+SYMBOL_ORDER_TP+(this.IsCloseByOrdersAllowed() ? SYMBOL_ORDER_CLOSEBY : 0)) #endif ); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
Since MQL5 provides the ability to receive flags (that indicate the ability to place different order types) for each of the symbols:
- market order (open a position by market),
- limit order,
- stop order,
- stop limit order,
- TakeProfit order,
- StopLoss order,
- close by order (CloseBy)
In MQL4, we are able to obtain only data on allowing
closing by an opposite order from the MarketInfo()
function with the MODE_CLOSEBY_ALLOWED
request ID (returned by the IsCloseByOrdersAllowed() method
located in the above listing).
Therefore, we need to collect the necessary flags for returning to an MQL4 program:
- market order allowed — add it to a
returned value
- limit order allowed — add it to a returned value
- stop order allowed — add it to a returned value
- stop limit order not allowed
- stop loss order allowed — add it to a returned value
- take profit order allowed — add it to a returned value
- for a close by order, receive data from the IsCloseByOrdersAllowed()
method and add the SYMBOL_ORDER_CLOSEBY constant value if allowedor
0 if not
Below is the method for obtaining the number of decimal places in a lot value for a symbol:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Calculate and return the number of decimal places | //| in a symbol lot | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ long CSymbol::SymbolDigitsLot(void) { if(this.LotsMax()==0 || this.LotsMin()==0 || this.LotsStep()==0) { ::Print(DFUN_ERR_LINE,TextByLanguage("Не удалось получить данные \"","Failed to get data of \""),this.Name(),"\""); this.m_global_error=ERR_MARKET_UNKNOWN_SYMBOL; return 2; } double val=::round(this.LotsMin()/this.LotsStep())*this.LotsStep(); string val_str=(string)val; int len=::StringLen(val_str); int n=len-::StringFind(val_str,".",0)-1; if(::StringSubstr(val_str,len-1,1)=="0") n--; return n; } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
The method calculates the number of decimal places in a symbol lot value.
We already have such a function in the
DELib.mqh service functions file:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Returns the number of decimal places in a symbol lot | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ uint DigitsLots(const string symbol_name) { return (int)ceil(fabs(log(SymbolInfoDouble(symbol_name,SYMBOL_VOLUME_STEP))/log(10))); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
However, it has certain flaws. I was informed of them in one of the article discussion threads: if a lot step is 0.25, the function does not return a correct value. So I decided to look for a more accurate method and finally decided that the most accurate method is to simply calculate the number of decimal places in the string value of the lot reduced to a lot step: lots=MathRound(lots/lotStep)*lotStep. This decision was prompted by the discussion in the thread (in Russian) dedicated to this issue where a certain search method was suggested, which is a search in a string. But we need to find a necessary number of decimal places only once for each of the used symbols, while a constant value is used afterwards. This method has no drawbacks of all calculation methods. So, let's use the proposed solution.
Below are the methods for receiving symbol's real and string properties that are either completely or partially absent in MQL4:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Real properties | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return maximum Bid for a day | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ double CSymbol::SymbolBidHigh(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoDouble(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_BIDHIGH) #else ::MarketInfo(this.m_symbol_name,MODE_HIGH) #endif); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return minimum Bid for a day | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ double CSymbol::SymbolBidLow(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoDouble(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_BIDLOW) #else ::MarketInfo(this.m_symbol_name,MODE_LOW) #endif); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return real Volume for a day | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ double CSymbol::SymbolVolumeReal(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoDouble(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_VOLUME_REAL) #else 0 #endif); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return real maximum Volume for a day | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ double CSymbol::SymbolVolumeHighReal(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoDouble(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_VOLUMEHIGH_REAL) #else 0 #endif); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return real minimum Volume for a day | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ double CSymbol::SymbolVolumeLowReal(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoDouble(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_VOLUMELOW_REAL) #else 0 #endif); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return an option execution price | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ double CSymbol::SymbolOptionStrike(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoDouble(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_OPTION_STRIKE) #else 0 #endif); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return accrued interest | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ double CSymbol::SymbolTradeAccruedInterest(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoDouble(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_TRADE_ACCRUED_INTEREST) #else 0 #endif); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return a bond face value | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ double CSymbol::SymbolTradeFaceValue(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoDouble(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_TRADE_FACE_VALUE) #else 0 #endif); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return a liquidity rate | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ double CSymbol::SymbolTradeLiquidityRate(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoDouble(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_TRADE_LIQUIDITY_RATE) #else 0 #endif); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return a contract or margin size | //| for a single lot of covered positions | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ double CSymbol::SymbolMarginHedged(void) const { return(#ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoDouble(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_MARGIN_HEDGED) #else ::MarketInfo(this.m_symbol_name, MODE_MARGINHEDGED) #endif); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| String properties | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return a base asset name for a derivative instrument | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ string CSymbol::SymbolBasis(void) const { return ( #ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoString(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_BASIS) #else ": "+TextByLanguage("Свойство не поддерживается в MQL4","Property not supported in MQL4") #endif ); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return a quote source for a symbol | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ string CSymbol::SymbolBank(void) const { return ( #ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoString(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_BANK) #else ": "+TextByLanguage("Свойство не поддерживается в MQL4","Property not supported in MQL4") #endif ); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return a symbol name to ISIN | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ string CSymbol::SymbolISIN(void) const { return ( #ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoString(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_ISIN) #else ": "+TextByLanguage("Свойство не поддерживается в MQL4","Property not supported in MQL4") #endif ); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return a formula for constructing a custom symbol price | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ string CSymbol::SymbolFormula(void) const { return ( #ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoString(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_FORMULA) #else ": "+TextByLanguage("Свойство не поддерживается в MQL4","Property not supported in MQL4") #endif ); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return an address of a web page with a symbol data | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ string CSymbol::SymbolPage(void) const { return ( #ifdef __MQL5__ ::SymbolInfoString(this.m_symbol_name,SYMBOL_PAGE) #else ": "+TextByLanguage("Свойство не поддерживается в MQL4","Property not supported in MQL4") #endif ); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
Here all is similar to the methods of obtaining integer properties: obtaining a returned value is divided by the conditional compilation directives, and the property values are either returned with the appropriate MQL5 and MQL4 functions, or 0 is returned for MQL4 (if there is no MQL5 analogue). The string message indicating that MQL4 does not support this string property can be returned as well.
Below is the method for sending the full list of all symbol object properties to the journal:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Send symbol properties to the journal | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void CSymbol::Print(const bool full_prop=false) { ::Print("============= ", TextByLanguage("Начало списка параметров: \"","Beginning of the parameter list: \""), this.Name(),"\""," ",(this.Description()!= #ifdef __MQL5__ "" #else NULL #endif ? "("+this.Description()+")" : ""), " ==================" ); int beg=0, end=SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_TOTAL; for(int i=beg; i<end; i++) { ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER prop=(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER)i; if(!full_prop && !this.SupportProperty(prop)) continue; ::Print(this.GetPropertyDescription(prop)); } ::Print("------"); beg=end; end+=SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE_TOTAL; for(int i=beg; i<end; i++) { ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE prop=(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE)i; if(!full_prop && !this.SupportProperty(prop)) continue; ::Print(this.GetPropertyDescription(prop)); } ::Print("------"); beg=end; end+=SYMBOL_PROP_STRING_TOTAL; for(int i=beg; i<end; i++) { ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_STRING prop=(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_STRING)i; if(!full_prop && !this.SupportProperty(prop)) continue; ::Print(this.GetPropertyDescription(prop)); } ::Print("================== ", TextByLanguage("Конец списка параметров: ","End of the parameter list: \""), this.Name(),"\""," ",(this.Description()!= #ifdef __MQL5__ "" #else NULL #endif ? "("+this.Description()+")" : ""), " ==================\n" ); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
The description of each subsequent property is displayed in three loops for all object properties using the GetPropertyDescription() methods returning an object property description (passed to the method) by its type ( integer, real or string):
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return the description of the symbol integer property | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ string CSymbol::GetPropertyDescription(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER property) { return ( //--- General properties property==SYMBOL_PROP_STATUS ?

Although the methods are quite bulky, it all boils down to comparing a property passed to the method and returning its string description. I believe, they are quite easy to understand, and there is no point in dwelling on them.
Below is the method for searching for a symbol in the list of server symbols and returning the flag of its presence/absence:
//+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Search for a symbol and return the flag indicating its presence on the server | //+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ bool CSymbol::Exist(void) const { int total=::SymbolsTotal(false); for(int i=0;i<total;i++) if(::SymbolName(i,false)==this.m_symbol_name) return true; return false; } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
Compare each subsequent symbol (its name) from the list with the name of the current symbol object in a loop by the full list of all symbols on the
server (in the
SymbolsTotal() and SymbolName()
functions, flag = false). If
found, return true
— the symbol is present on the server. Otherwise, return false
— no symbol is present on the server.
Below are the methods for subscribing to the market depth and unsubscribing from it:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Subscribe to the market depth | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ bool CSymbol::BookAdd(void) const { return #ifdef __MQL5__ ::MarketBookAdd(this.m_symbol_name) #else false #endif ; } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Close the market depth | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ bool CSymbol::BookClose(void) const { return #ifdef __MQL5__ ::MarketBookRelease(this.m_symbol_name) #else false #endif ; } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
In MQL5, the methods simply return the result of MarketBookAdd() and MarketBookRelease() functions operation, while in MQL4, false is returned right away since there is no way to work with the market depth there. For now, these methods are added to a symbol object. We will arrange the ability to manage them, as well as add other methods for working with the market depth, in the coming articles.

In methods, everything is simple: a property value is checked and its string description is returned.
Some
methods (namely, flag description ones) display string values of other methods within a returned description. In turn, these other
methods return the descriptions of specific flags the value of a checked property consists of. Thus, we obtain a formatted composite
description of all flags of a single property.
In MQL5, flags of a single property are displayed in a column under the name of a described property, for example:
The flags of allowed order types: - Market order (Yes) - Limit order (Yes) - Stop order (Yes) - Stop limit order (Yes) - StopLoss (Yes) - TakeProfit (Yes) - Close by (Yes)
In MQL4, these properties are displayed in a single string:
The flags of allowed order types: Market order (Yes); Limit order (Yes); Stop order (Yes); Stop limit order (No); StopLoss (Yes); TakeProfit (Yes); Close by (Yes)
This is due to the fact that in MQL4 the Print () function does not
accept the "\n" line break codes. Therefore, the methods feature separate formatting for MQL5 and MQL4 using conditional compilation
directives.
Below is the service method returning a normalized price considering symbol properties:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return a normalized price considering symbol properties | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ double CSymbol::NormalizedPrice(const double price) const { double tsize=this.TradeTickSize(); return(tsize!=0 ? ::NormalizeDouble(::round(price/tsize)*tsize,this.Digits()) : ::NormalizeDouble(price,this.Digits())); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
The method normalizes the price considering the minimum price change.
Finally, there are two methods:
method of updating all symbol object
properties that may change in the future and the method of updating
symbol's quote data:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Update all symbol data that may change | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void CSymbol::Refresh(void) { ::ResetLastError(); if(!::SymbolInfoTick(this.m_symbol_name,this.m_tick)) { this.m_global_error=::GetLastError(); ::Print(DFUN_ERR_LINE,this.Name(),": ",TextByLanguage("Не удалось получить текущие цены.

Here all is simple: the required symbol properties are filled in from its data anew.
Both methods are meant for
obtaining relevant data on symbol properties. The Refresh() method should be called right before obtaining the required data, while the
RefreshRates() method is constantly called in the timer for all symbol objects within the collection list we are to deal with later.
This concludes the development of the abstract symbol object methods.
Now we need to make some additions to the ToMQL4.mqh file where we set all the necessary enumerations and macro substitutions for
error-free compilation in MQL4.
In the symbol object class, we used returning MQL5 error codes. Let's add them to let MQL4 know about their limitations:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| ToMQL4.mqh | //| Copyright 2017, Artem A. Trishkin, Skype artmedia70 | //| https://www.mql5.com/en/users/artmedia70 | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ #property copyright "Copyright 2017, Artem A. Trishkin, Skype artmedia70" #property link "https://www.mql5.com/en/users/artmedia70" #property strict #ifdef __MQL4__ //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Error codes | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ #define ERR_SUCCESS (ERR_NO_ERROR) #define ERR_MARKET_UNKNOWN_SYMBOL (ERR_UNKNOWN_SYMBOL) //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
We also used the flags responsible for various symbol order modes. Let's specify them as well:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Flags of allowed order expiration modes | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ #define SYMBOL_EXPIRATION_GTC (1) #define SYMBOL_EXPIRATION_DAY (2) #define SYMBOL_EXPIRATION_SPECIFIED (4) #define SYMBOL_EXPIRATION_SPECIFIED_DAY (8) //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Flags of allowed order filling modes | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ #define SYMBOL_FILLING_FOK (1) #define SYMBOL_FILLING_IOC (2) //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Flags of allowed order types | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ #define SYMBOL_ORDER_MARKET (1) #define SYMBOL_ORDER_LIMIT (2) #define SYMBOL_ORDER_STOP (4) #define SYMBOL_ORDER_STOP_LIMIT (8) #define SYMBOL_ORDER_SL (16) #define SYMBOL_ORDER_TP (32) #define SYMBOL_ORDER_CLOSEBY (64) //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
Add the enumerations absent in MQL4:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Prices a symbol chart is based on | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ enum ENUM_SYMBOL_CHART_MODE { SYMBOL_CHART_MODE_BID, // Bars are based on Bid prices SYMBOL_CHART_MODE_LAST // Bars are based on Last prices }; //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Lifetime of pending orders and | //| placed StopLoss/TakeProfit levels | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ enum ENUM_SYMBOL_ORDER_GTC_MODE { SYMBOL_ORDERS_GTC, // Pending orders and Stop Loss/Take Profit levels are valid for an unlimited period until their explicit cancellation SYMBOL_ORDERS_DAILY, // At the end of the day, all Stop Loss and Take Profit levels, as well as pending orders are deleted SYMBOL_ORDERS_DAILY_EXCLUDING_STOPS // At the end of the day, only pending orders are deleted, while Stop Loss and Take Profit levels are preserved }; //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Option types | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ enum ENUM_SYMBOL_OPTION_MODE { SYMBOL_OPTION_MODE_EUROPEAN, // European option may only be exercised on a specified date SYMBOL_OPTION_MODE_AMERICAN // American option may be exercised on any trading day or before expiry }; #define SYMBOL_OPTION_MODE_NONE (2) // Option type absent in MQL4 //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Right provided by an option | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ enum ENUM_SYMBOL_OPTION_RIGHT { SYMBOL_OPTION_RIGHT_CALL, // A call option gives you the right to buy an asset at a specified price SYMBOL_OPTION_RIGHT_PUT // A put option gives you the right to sell an asset at a specified price }; #define SYMBOL_OPTION_RIGHT_NONE (2) // No option - no right //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
Use macro substitutions to set additional properties for
options. These properties indicate the absence of option type and right. We are going to use them in MQL4 when returning value of these symbol
object properties.
The following two enumerations feature no sequence of constant values in MQL5 and MQL4.
Therefore, I have swapped the sequences of specifying constants included in the enumerations. The appropriate values for MQL5 and MQL4 are set in the comments to constant values. Their sequence here is set to match the values in MQL4 to return correct values:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Symbol margin calculation method | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ enum ENUM_SYMBOL_CALC_MODE { SYMBOL_CALC_MODE_FOREX, // (MQL5 - 0, MQL4 - 0) Forex mode SYMBOL_CALC_MODE_CFD, // (MQL5 - 3, MQL4 - 1) CFD mode SYMBOL_CALC_MODE_FUTURES, // (MQL5 - 2, MQL4 - 2) Futures mode SYMBOL_CALC_MODE_CFDINDEX, // (MQL5 - 4, MQL4 - 3) CFD index mode SYMBOL_CALC_MODE_FOREX_NO_LEVERAGE, // (MQL5 - 1, MQL4 - N) Forex No Leverage mode SYMBOL_CALC_MODE_CFDLEVERAGE, // CFD Leverage mode SYMBOL_CALC_MODE_EXCH_STOCKS, // Exchange mode SYMBOL_CALC_MODE_EXCH_FUTURES, // Futures mode SYMBOL_CALC_MODE_EXCH_FUTURES_FORTS, // FORTS Futures mode SYMBOL_CALC_MODE_EXCH_BONDS, // Exchange Bonds mode SYMBOL_CALC_MODE_EXCH_STOCKS_MOEX, // Exchange MOEX Stocks mode SYMBOL_CALC_MODE_EXCH_BONDS_MOEX, // Exchange MOEX Bonds mode SYMBOL_CALC_MODE_SERV_COLLATERAL // Collateral mode }; //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Swap charging methods during a rollover | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ enum ENUM_SYMBOL_SWAP_MODE { SYMBOL_SWAP_MODE_POINTS, // (MQL5 - 1, MQL4 - 0) Swaps are charged in points SYMBOL_SWAP_MODE_CURRENCY_SYMBOL, // (MQL5 - 2, MQL4 - 1) Swaps are charged in money in symbol base currency SYMBOL_SWAP_MODE_INTEREST_OPEN, // (MQL5 - 6, MQL4 - 2) Swaps are charged as the specified annual interest from the open price of position SYMBOL_SWAP_MODE_CURRENCY_MARGIN, // (MQL5 - 3, MQL4 - 3) Swaps are charged in money in margin currency of the symbol SYMBOL_SWAP_MODE_DISABLED, // (MQL5 - 0, MQL4 - N) No swaps SYMBOL_SWAP_MODE_CURRENCY_DEPOSIT, // Swaps are charged in money, in client deposit currency SYMBOL_SWAP_MODE_INTEREST_CURRENT, // Swaps are charged as the specified annual interest from the instrument price at calculation of swap SYMBOL_SWAP_MODE_REOPEN_CURRENT, // Swaps are charged by reopening positions by the close price SYMBOL_SWAP_MODE_REOPEN_BID // Swaps are charged by reopening positions by the current Bid price }; //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
All symbol object data is now created.
Since we introduced the error code returned from the classes to the Engine library main object, we need to add the CEngine class variable member
for storing the error code. Open \MQL5\Include\DoEasy\
Engine.mqh and make the necessary changes in it.
In the private class section, declare
the variable for storing error codes:
class CEngine : public CObject { private: CHistoryCollection m_history; // Collection of historical orders and deals CMarketCollection m_market; // Collection of market orders and deals CEventsCollection m_events; // Event collection CAccountsCollection m_accounts; // Account collection CArrayObj m_list_counters; // List of timer counters int m_global_error; // Global error code bool m_first_start; // First launch flag bool m_is_hedge; // Hedge account flag bool m_is_tester; // Flag of working in the tester
In the initialization list of the class constructor, initialize the error code. Next, in the blocks for creating the millisecond timer for MQL5 and MQL4, add the last error code to the variable:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| CEngine constructor | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ CEngine::CEngine() : m_first_start(true),m_last_trade_event(TRADE_EVENT_NO_EVENT),m_last_account_event(ACCOUNT_EVENT_NO_EVENT),m_global_error(ERR_SUCCESS) { this.m_list_counters.Sort(); this.m_list_counters.Clear(); this.CreateCounter(COLLECTION_ORD_COUNTER_ID,COLLECTION_ORD_COUNTER_STEP,COLLECTION_ORD_PAUSE); this.CreateCounter(COLLECTION_ACC_COUNTER_ID,COLLECTION_ACC_COUNTER_STEP,COLLECTION_ACC_PAUSE); this.m_is_hedge=#ifdef __MQL4__ true #else bool(::AccountInfoInteger(ACCOUNT_MARGIN_MODE)==ACCOUNT_MARGIN_MODE_RETAIL_HEDGING) #endif; this.m_is_tester=::MQLInfoInteger(MQL_TESTER); ::ResetLastError(); #ifdef __MQL5__ if(!::EventSetMillisecondTimer(TIMER_FREQUENCY)) { ::Print(DFUN_ERR_LINE,"Не удалось создать таймер. Ошибка: ","Could not create timer. Error: ",(string)::GetLastError()); this.m_global_error=::GetLastError(); } //---__MQL4__ #else if(!this.IsTester() && !::EventSetMillisecondTimer(TIMER_FREQUENCY)) { ::Print(DFUN_ERR_LINE,"Не удалось создать таймер. Ошибка: ","Could not create timer. Error: ",(string)::GetLastError()); this.m_global_error=::GetLastError(); } #endif } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
Now we need to include the file of a newly created class to the main object of the library (temporarily — only for the current check):
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Engine.mqh | //| Copyright 2018, MetaQuotes Software Corp. | //| https://mql5.com/en/users/artmedia70 | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ #property copyright "Copyright 2018, MetaQuotes Software Corp." #property link "https://mql5.com/en/users/artmedia70" #property version "1.00" //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Include files | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ #include "Collections\HistoryCollection.mqh" #include "Collections\MarketCollection.mqh" #include "Collections\EventsCollection.mqh" #include "Collections\AccountsCollection.mqh" #include "Services\TimerCounter.mqh" #include "Objects\Symbols\Symbol.mqh" //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Library basis class | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ class CEngine : public CObject {
Now all is ready for testing the symbol object.
But first, I want to draw your attention to a flaw I left unattended in the previous
article when creating the method returning an account event by its number in the list — in the CAccountsCollection account
collection class.
The current method version looks as follows:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return the account event by its number in the list | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ ENUM_ACCOUNT_EVENT CAccountsCollection::GetEvent(const int shift=WRONG_VALUE) { int total=this.m_list_changes.Total(); if(total==0) return ACCOUNT_EVENT_NO_EVENT; int index=(shift<0 || shift>total-1 ? total-1 : total-shift-1); int event=this.m_list_changes.At(index); return ENUM_ACCOUNT_EVENT(event!=NULL ? event : ACCOUNT_EVENT_NO_EVENT); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
Here is what I wrote about returning events from the method:
The events in the list of account property changes are located in the order they were added — the very first one is located at index 0, while the very last one is located at (list_size-1) index. However, we want to let users to obtain a desired event as in a time series — the zero index should contain the very last event. To achieve this, the method features the index calculation: index = (list_size - desired_event_number-1). In this case, if we pass 0 or -1, the last event in the list is returned; if 1, the last but one, if a number exceeds the list size, the last event is returned.
Here we have a logical inconsistency: if we pass 0 to the method, we get the last event. If we pass the value exceeding the array size, the logic
dictates we should return the first event instead of the last one. It would be logical to pass either 0 or a negative value (by default) to
receive the last event and then go in order: 1 — last but one, 2 — last but two, etc, like in a timeseries.
If we do not know the array size and pass a knowingly large number, then we should expect receiving the farthest value in time — the first
one, while the method returns the last one. Let's fix this illogical behavior:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Return the account event by its number in the list | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ ENUM_ACCOUNT_EVENT CAccountsCollection::GetEvent(const int shift=WRONG_VALUE) { int total=this.m_list_changes.Total(); if(total==0) return ACCOUNT_EVENT_NO_EVENT; int index=(shift<=0 ? total-1 : shift>total-1 ? 0 : total-shift-1); int event=this.m_list_changes.At(index); return ENUM_ACCOUNT_EVENT(event!=NULL ? event : ACCOUNT_EVENT_NO_EVENT); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
Here: if 0 or -1 is passed, return the last event,
if the value exceeding the array size is passed, return the first event. The
index of a returned event is calculated in other cases.
Testing symbol object
To test the symbol object, we will take the EA from the previous
article and save it under the name TestDoEasyPart14.mq5.
We will check the symbol object in the OnInit() handler. To do this, simply add the following code strings to the end of OnInit():
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Expert initialization function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ int OnInit() { //--- Calling the function displays the list of enumeration constants in the journal, //--- (the list is set in the strings 22 and 25 of the DELib.mqh file) for checking the constants validity //EnumNumbersTest(); //--- Set EA global variables prefix=MQLInfoString(MQL_PROGRAM_NAME)+"_"; for(int i=0;i<TOTAL_BUTT;i++) { butt_data[i].name=prefix+EnumToString((ENUM_BUTTONS)i); butt_data[i].text=EnumToButtText((ENUM_BUTTONS)i); } lot=NormalizeLot(Symbol(),fmax(InpLots,MinimumLots(Symbol())*2.0)); magic_number=InpMagic; stoploss=InpStopLoss; takeprofit=InpTakeProfit; distance_pending=InpDistance; distance_stoplimit=InpDistanceSL; slippage=InpSlippage; trailing_stop=InpTrailingStop*Point(); trailing_step=InpTrailingStep*Point(); trailing_start=InpTrailingStart; stoploss_to_modify=InpStopLossModify; takeprofit_to_modify=InpTakeProfitModify; //--- Check and remove remaining EA graphical objects if(IsPresentObects(prefix)) ObjectsDeleteAll(0,prefix); //--- Create the button panel if(!CreateButtons(InpButtShiftX,InpButtShiftY)) return INIT_FAILED; //--- Set trailing activation button status ButtonState(butt_data[TOTAL_BUTT-1].name,trailing_on); //--- Set CTrade trading class parameters #ifdef __MQL5__ trade.SetDeviationInPoints(slippage); trade.SetExpertMagicNumber(magic_number); trade.SetTypeFillingBySymbol(Symbol()); trade.SetMarginMode(); trade.LogLevel(LOG_LEVEL_NO); #endif //--- Fast check of a symbol object string smb=Symbol(); CSymbol* sy=new CSymbol(SYMBOL_STATUS_FX,smb); if(sy!=NULL) { sy.Refresh(); sy.RefreshRates(); sy.Print(); delete sy; } //--- return(INIT_SUCCEEDED); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
Here we create a new symbol object. Since we are going to assign the symbol to a certain group in the next article, simply pass the "Forex symbol"
and symbol name to the constructor.
If the object is created, update all its data, update quote data, display all symbol object properties in the journal and delete the
object to avoid a memory leak when the test EA completes its work.
If we now try to compile the EA, we will get the error of accessing the protected class constructor:
'CSymbol::CSymbol' - cannot access protected member function TestDoEasyPart14.mq5 131 20
see declaration of 'CSymbol::CSymbol' Symbol.mqh 39 22
1 error(s), 0 warning(s) 2 1
Go to the Symbol.mqh file and move the protected parametric constructor temporarily from the protected section of the class to the public one:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Abstract symbol class | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ class CSymbol : public CObject { private: MqlTick m_tick; // Symbol tick structure MqlBookInfo m_book_info_array[]; // Array of the market depth data structures string m_symbol_name; // Symbol name long m_long_prop[SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_TOTAL]; // Integer properties double m_double_prop[SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE_TOTAL]; // Real properties string m_string_prop[SYMBOL_PROP_STRING_TOTAL]; // String properties int m_digits_currency; // Number of decimal places in an account currency int m_global_error; // Global error code //--- Return the index of the array the symbol's (1) double and (2) string properties are located at int IndexProp(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE property) const { return(int)property-SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_TOTAL; } int IndexProp(ENUM_SYMBOL_PROP_STRING property) const { return(int)property-SYMBOL_PROP_INTEGER_TOTAL-SYMBOL_PROP_DOUBLE_TOTAL; } //--- Reset all symbol object data void Reset(void); public: //--- Default constructor CSymbol(void){;} CSymbol(ENUM_SYMBOL_STATUS symbol_status,const string name); protected: //--- Protected parametric constructor //--- Get and return integer properties of a selected symbol from its parameters
Now all is compiled with no issues.
Launch the EA on a symbol chart in MetaTrader 5.

Unlike launching in MetaTrader 5, not all properties are supported here. Therefore, there are appropriate messages in the journal. The list of
flags is displayed in a single line, which has already been mentioned above.
In the next article, no description strings for unsupported properties will be displayed when creating derived objects. The flags
indicating the object's support of certain properties will be set for each derived object instead. The flags are to be set for each property.
What's next?
In the next article, we will start developing the symbol collection class that will allow users to easily search for data, as well as sort and
compare symbols from the collection list.
All files of the current version of the library are attached below together with the test EA files for you to test and download.

Optimization management (Part II): Creating key objects and add-on logic
This article is a continuation of the previous publication related to the creation of a graphical interface for optimization management. The article considers the logic of the add-on. A wrapper for the MetaTrader 5 terminal will be created: it will enable the running of the add-on as a managed process via C#. In addition, operation with configuration files and setup files is considered in this article. The application logic is divided into two parts: the first one describes the methods called after pressing a particular key, while the second part covers optimization launch and management.
Library for easy and quick development of MetaTrader programs (part XIII): Account object events
The article considers working with account events for tracking important changes in account properties affecting the automated trading. We have already implemented some functionality for tracking account events in the previous article when developing the account object collection.
Merrill patterns
In this article, we will have a look at Merrill patterns' model and try to evaluate their current relevance. To do this, we will develop a tool to test the patterns and apply the model to various data types such as Close, High and Low prices, as well as oscillators.
Library for easy and quick development of MetaTrader programs (part XII): Account object class and collection of account objects
In the previous article, we defined position closure events for MQL4 in the library and got rid of the unused order properties. Here we will consider the creation of the Account object, develop the collection of account objects and prepare the functionality for tracking account events.

Hello Artyom -- is there an easy way to extract or compute the average spread for a given symbol using your library, or it is something you recommend I code externally myself?
The average spread of a bar is recorded by the terminal in the parameters of each bar. It can be found by requesting bar data from MqlRates. The library contains this data for each bar.
Add up all the spreads of all bars in the sample under study and divide by their number.
I will not do automatic determination of the average spread for a symbol. Because it will slow down the library, and this is not a frequent need. You can easily implement this yourself if you wish.

That's perfect, thank you!
Do you know how reliable is the spread data for each bar when in testing mode? Is this consistent across different brokers, or quality of spread data can vary?

No, unfortunately I do not know.
