There are no off-line charts in the MT5. Are they gone for good? If yes, many people will be really unhappy unless there is a new way of making custom charts, like Constant Range Bars or Renko.

I trade excusvlly with off-line Renko charts. I know of at least 40 other traders that also use offline charts. If MT5 offers standard Renko "NO Problem" but if not there will be a backlash!

 

Some time ago (at least before 2009.11.07), I can use a function to set plot line color, such as
PlotIndexSetInteger(i,PLOT_LINE_COLOR,iColor);
without explicit declare statement, such as
#property indicator_color1 Red
But now(2010.01.11), I must write many "#property" in my multi-line indicator,
otherwise my indicator will draw all line with a default color (Silver?).
I like the old characteristic (set color without explicit declare property).
I hope to resume it.
A 96-line MAs indicator sample at
https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/331

This indicator is only 211 lines (include empty and comment line),
but 96 lines is occupied by indicator_color!

Thank 'Rosh' and 'investeo'!
I test this sentence,
MAA[i].mPlotIndexSetInteger(i,PLOT_COLOR_INDEXES,63);
It 's OK! The indicator work fine.
I may delete those "#property indicator_color".

Just I test lot of iNumberOfColors in
MAA[i].mPlotIndexSetInteger(i,PLOT_COLOR_INDEXES,iNumberOfColors);
the result is ...
If (iNumberOfColors>=1 And iNumberOfColors<=63) then all line have right color.
Else all line's color values will be default silver.
So I think, PLOT_COLOR_INDEXES may not be 'The number of colors'?
A bug of document?

 
I'm still waiting for the answer to DDE (what DLL that comes w/ MT5? I couldn't find any).
 

Hi everyone,

Me and Rosh had a nice conversation the other day about why Wikipedia doesn't even have an article about MetaTrader, MetaQuotes, MQL4, or MQL5, but does have an article about TradeStation, or MetaStock and any other trading platform. In the end, Rosh suggested that I..., We should write about MetaTrader, MQL4, MQL5 and MetaQuotes on Wikipedia .


Here's the link about my conversation with Rosh, her's what Wikipedia says about TradingStation and Metastock, and other trading platform.


There's about 35,000 members here in MQL4. So, if and when you care enough, please spend ... say 10 minutes of your life's time to write about MetaTrader, Metaquotes, MQL4, MQL5 on Wikipedia.


Thank you very much for your concern.

Unfortunately, there is a mistake, the name of our trade platform is MetaTrader 4 not Metatrader. Can you fix it?
