Nope, the .hst file format is published in the terminal help file . . . i assume it will be updated in due course. mql4 also provides a function for reading and writing .hs files . . . no hack involved.
Indeed. So it is no more a hack. Yupeeee.
I just wonder what the #pragma directive is for since it is not a keyword in MQL4.

Can't help you there . . . I'm not on speaking terms with OOP
It is not OOP related, actually it is a directive for C++ condensed structure... but the help reads that all structures are condensed in MQL4, so I was curious why it was in the help you provided.

Since the Metaquotes have not revealed the structure of hst files to public (they keep it for their own purposes), then every use of the *.hst files is a hack.
As others replied, hst file structure is public. Anyway I am not talking about that but about PostMessageA() to send ticks to Offline charts. This is how EA can run on them, not ? Isn't a hack ?
Are you talking about the hack that is included in every standard MT4 Terminal installation \include\WinUser32.mqh since 2004?

For me a hack is when you are using a non documented feature. Is the use of PostMessageA() to send a tick is documented somewhere by Metaquotes ?
I don't affirm anything, I simply try to understand what Stringo wrote.

Oh, I see.... that one I do not understand either. I never had problem with running standard experts on offline charts, so I have read it and forgot in the next second.
