Lib - EAPADPRO Adding our panel to your Expert Advisor

Description

Method of programming the information panel in any adviser.

The success of any program is, first of all, the interface of the program and the first impression of the program.

We can not guarantee that the information and interface of the program will give you a profit on transactions, but we will definitely say that even the simplest interface of the program can strengthen the first impression.

In this article, we will tell you how to apply our information panel to the EAPADPRO advisor

EAPADPRO - Have the information!

EapadPRO is information that the user of any Expert Advisor receives in real time.

In order to create such a panel it took us about 2 weeks, but to bring the interface of the program to a friendly design (graphical user interface, GUI ), it took us months of painstaking work.

Not having enough experience in the development of such panels, you can not make the interface of the program suitable for use.

We do not insist on the ideal GUI of our panel, but according to experience and feedback, it has a number of useful blocks that give a complete picture of what is happening on the graph of your terminal.

We suggest you use our panel in your experts. EAPADPRO - Have the information!

Where to begin?

First, you should read the complete instructions for using and managing our panel. Read EAPadPRO - Information panel for our experts

Our panel is distributed as a LIBRARY, which can be used in both MT4 and MT5 ( cross-platform code)

You can download our library in the advisors section for forex , I put in the library archive and examples of use.

Programming EAPADPRO 10 steps

In our example, you can find the steps (STEP) that you need to perform in order for the panel to be displayed in your Expert Advisor!

Step 1:

Copy the following code to the top of your EA and change the data that is available for editing (EAPADPRO Personalization):

 // Step 1 ####################################################################
// Эта шаг для установки нашей панели в вашего эксперта
// ###########################################################################
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
// Вставляем в начале кода
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
// Авторские права моей панели! Не изменять!
#define  EAPADPRODescription "\n\nEAPADPRO pad"
#property  strict
#ifdef  __MQL5__ 
#define  MT "MT5" 
#endif
 #ifdef  __MQL4__ 
#define ORDER_FILLING_FOK 0 
#define  MT "MT4" 
#endif
 //===========================
// Данные о Вашей программе |
//===========================
// Уведомление о том, что это демо версия вашей программы (Будет отображаться в панели)
bool DEMO= false ;
// Версия
#define  versionea "77.777"
#property  version versionea
// BMP LOGO 60x60 
#define  BMPLOGO "Images\\EAPADPRO_Images\\YOURLOGO.bmp" 
#resource  "\\" +BMPLOGO;
// Иконка Вашего продукта
#property  icon "\\Images\\EAPADPRO_Images\\YOURLOGO.ico" 
// Имя эксперта
#define  defEANAME "EA NAME"
// Ваше описание продукта 
#property  description defEANAME+ " for " +MT+ " " +EAPADPRODescription 
// Ваш ник или имя, отображается внизу панели 
#define  YourName "Your Nick" 
// Ваши авторские права
#property  copyright YourName+ " Your Copyright" 
// ########################################################################### 

Step 2:

This replacement is needed only to exclude the same output to the log.

 // Step 2 ####################################################################
// Эта шаг для установки нашей панели в вашего эксперта
// ###########################################################################
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
// Заменить Print на EAPADPRO_LIBRARY_PrintToLogs
// Например: EAPADPRO_LIBRARY_PrintToLogs("Этот принт будет напечатан в журнале ");
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
// ###########################################################################
 

Step 3:

In order for the MODIFY ONLY option to work in your Expert Advisor, you need to add the following code if (MODIFYONLY) return (false);in the function of opening positions or orders.

 // Step 3 ####################################################################
// Эта шаг для установки нашей панели в вашего эксперта
// ###########################################################################
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
// Добавить в начало функции открытия позиций или ордеров 
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
// if(MODIFYONLY)return(false);
// ########################################################################### 

Step 4:

The following function displays information about the error in the form of a PUSH notification to the phone, mail, and to the terminal screen. All these notifications in the future can be turned off in the settings of our panel.

 // Step 4 ####################################################################
// Эта шаг для установки нашей панели в вашего эксперта
// ###########################################################################
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
// Добавить в обработку ошибок для уведомлений раздела NOTICE: 
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
// EAPADPRO_LIBRARY_Notice_ErrorCheck(информация, информация о работе функции,номер ошибки);
// например:
// EAPADPRO_LIBRARY_Notice_ErrorCheck("СЮДА ЗАПИСЫВАЕМ ИНФОРМАЦИЮ","Line: "+__LINE__+" Function: "+__FUNCTION__+"\n"+__FUNCSIG__,GetLastError());
// например:
// Notice_ErrorCheck("ClosePosition ERROR "+OrderTicket(),"Line: "+__LINE__+" Function: "+__FUNCTION__ ,GetLastError());
// ########################################################################### 

Step 5:

Add the following code to your OnInit function and note the lines with the CreateInputs and CreateStrategy functions

 // Step 5 ####################################################################
// Эта шаг для установки нашей панели в вашего эксперта
// ###########################################################################
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| внести код в OnInit |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnInit ()
 {
 EAPADPRO_LIBRARY_PrintToLogs( "Этот принт будет напечатан в журнале " );
// Этот код мы также добавляем в OnTick:
// Сюда можно записать ваши внешние переменные в формате: "Название","Значение" Всего до 10 переменных
 CreateInputs( "Inputs_TEST1" , TimeCurrent (), "Inputs_TEST2" , "Inputs_TEST2" );
// Сюда можно записать ваши данные по стратегии в формате: "Название","Значение" Всего до 10 значений
 CreateStrategy( "Strategy_TEST1" , TimeCurrent (), "Strategy_TEST2" , "Strategy_TEST2" );

//============================================================================
// EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO
 EAPADPRO_LIBRARY_OnInit(ShowEaPadPro,- 1 ,- 1 , "EAPADPRO" ,DEMO,defEANAME, 0 ,FontName,Notice_Open_NameSound,Notice_Close_NameSound,Notice_Modify_NameSound,
 Notice_Error_NameSound,BMPLOGO,versionea,YourName, true );
// EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO
//============================================================================

 return ;
 }

Step 6:

Enter the following code into your OnDeinit function

 // Step 6 ####################################################################
// Эта шаг для установки нашей панели в вашего эксперта
// ###########################################################################
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| внести код в OnDeinit |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnDeinit ( const int reason)
 {
//============================================================================
// EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO
 EAPADPRO_LIBRARY_OnDeinit(reason);
// EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO
//============================================================================
 }
// ########################################################################### 

Step 7:

Enter the following code into your OnTick function and note the lines with the CreateInputs and CreateStrategy functions

 MODIFYONLY=Get_MODIFYONLY();
 STOPTRADING=Get_STOPTRADING();
 EAPADPRO_LIBRARY_OnTick(ShowEaPadPro);

// Копируем тот же код из OnInit
// Сюда можно записать ваши внешние переменные в формате: "Название","Значение" Всего до 10 переменных
 CreateInputs( "Inputs_TEST1" , TimeCurrent (), "Inputs_TEST2" , "Inputs_TEST2" );
// Сюда можно записать ваши данные по стратегии в формате: "Название","Значение" Всего до 10 значений
 CreateStrategy( "Strategy_TEST1" , TimeCurrent (), "Strategy_TEST2" , "Strategy_TEST2" );

// EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO EAPADPRO
//============================================================================
 }

Step 8:

Enter the following code into your OnTrade function or if your code does not have the OnTrade function, then copy the lower code without changing:

 // Step 8 ####################################################################
// Эта шаг для установки нашей панели в вашего эксперта
