Technical question about Mt4

New comment
 

Hi I have a technical question about the Mt4:

How were the Charts updated? If I have opened f.e. the M15 Chart, do I have, at the same time, the latest data for every other Chart? I´m asking for this, because I would like to know, if I use an EA on the M15 which uses serveral indicators on other TF, do I have to open all these TF to get the latest data for my indicators?



Regards,

i had problems like this once (didn't update the other TF) & i decided to open the other TF 2

Yes, it is a nuisance but you do need to do it.

i used to do it programmatically

Are you saying there is a programmatic way for an EA to update the data for a chart which is not opened? How?
 
i changed the TF (4 a few seconds) @ the beginning of the EA programmitcly

Ahh, but HOW do you do that. I was looking for a way of changing the chart timeframe from within an EA but never saw such a function.


... pretty please.
