MetaTrader v eSignal

New comment
 
I've been using eSignal for around a year, but it's expensive. I've only just started using MetaTrader, (as well), so is anyone able to tell me if one or the other has significant advantages over the other? If so, what are they? Many thanks for any enlightenment - and a Happy New Year to all!
 
Here. and Here.
 

Thanks ubzen - very helpful - although doesn't make it any easier to come to a decision!

 
Are there features within eSignal you'd like to see implemented within mql4?
 

Hi ubzen and happy New Year

Yes - actually there are. I'd like to be able to set up a template that has multiple pages; eg. 4 charts with different timeframes for the same currency pair. Also, is it possible to save a template that will remember the timeframe I want for a particular strategy? Finally, I use pivots on eSignal, but they aren't available on MT4; whilst this isn't a problem as I can work without them, is there any similar study on MT4?

Many thanks for any help you can offer.

Hello caje916, Happy 2012 back-at-cha. Try the following:

For Multi-Charts use Profiles.

For Single Charts use Templates.

 

You can download a Pivot indicator here: https://www.mql5.com/en/code/8685. There are more in the codebase.

For hot-key setting use something like this http://www.autohotkey.com/.

Good Luck.

Thanks for the info - the pivot points will be useful. The '4 windows' option would be perfect, but for some reason I don't have it on my installation. The only difference I can see is that you have 'MetaTrader 4 - Admiral Markets' in the headline of your programme and I have 'MetaTrader - Alpari UK' in mine. I'll do some investigation. However, appreciate your help - cheers!
 
I created the 4-Windows myself and saved it. Where you see the name, above that it says Save-As, you can create your own options and save em as profiles or templates.
 

Thanks - 'kin obvious now you've told me that! Yes - no worries, although their user manual's a little unhelpful. Loaded the pivots, built the multi-window charts - job's a good 'un.

Cheers - your helps really been appreciated - maybe I'll stand you a beer sometime...
