Can't reach it! I registred metatrader.info but i don't seem to have acces yet.
Ok got it now.... Hummm i'm novice in programming... Instruction not very clear as to what part of code needed to be added to existing Indicator on buy/sell signal like the one in asctrend_sound.mq4... I get Compiling errors...
HI CG,
I think the function sleep() can be called only in EA's.Is there any similar function available, to be called in custom indicator.Thanks.
hey, codersguru!
i've looked through your lessons, and i didn't notice anything about using an include file, the concept is new to me, and i was wondering if you could explain anything that i might be doing wrong with the file, and how to use. maybe make a lesson about include files?
The work i've done, (with 110 errors?)

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+Hi! i want to known how could i get the top and the bottom of current chart window ?
is there some ways to get the top and bottom (in pixel and price)of current chart window?
another,how to create a timer procedure by widows API in MetaTrader4?
Is it possible to use .NET DLL for MT4?
How to use?
It would be nice to have more info on making indicators since EAs are based on these. Alpari has some good tutors but they are in Russian:

Period_Converter_opt help
"I use this period converter attached to a chart to update custom charts in realtime. This works great except that if I open multiple charts of the same custom timeframe, only one chart uptates in realtime. The other charts appears offline and is updated only with the refresh menu option. For instance, if I open 2 or 3 16M charts only one is updated with new ticks; the others must be refreshed mannually. Is this limitation by design? (Period_Converter_Opt) Are there any workarounds for this situation? Suggestions, anyone?"
Posted this on another thread previously. Any ideas about this?
Cheers,
Diby
Period_converter_Opt code
Extension to previous post:
I looked at the code briefly and my curosity would be: what WindowHandle returns in a case of multiple windows opened with the same symbol and timeframe.
if(hwnd == 0) {
//trying to detect the chart window for updating.... offline window
hwnd = WindowHandle(Symbol(), NewPeriod);
}
Cheers,

Buy 3 Sell 3 straddle script or EA - Any out there ?
Hello CG and also Newdigital if your about.
I am looking for an EA or script which once I have input the parameters will place above trades with SL and TP at the specified levels just by manually inputing a price level.
Essentially a straddle x 3.
Do you guys know of any such anywhere ?
Thanks and regards,
Ian.
