Thank you Mladen again for your expert skills - this is exactly what I was looking for. Will offer several uses for it after I test it for a bit. I tip my hat to you once again. Be well
BTW - what are those two indicators that are on all of the pics you post, and where would I find them? One looks like a daily candle and the other shows basic chart data. Thanks in advance

Do you happen to have the original (non-decompiled) source code? If yes, please post that version so that somebody can revise it
sorry it is as is, I don't have the original, where is "Barry Standers"?
the alert code is visible at the end, I thought I could just swap "Alert" for "SendMail" with correct mail format, but no dice.
is this actually because it is decompiled so it won't work?
or is there another issue why you don't like to edit with it?
best regards,

I think it is the best to read this post : https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/183322 (so we shall avoid me repeating myself

Hi mladen. Decided to abandon the ADX thing, but I have a question for you :
The standard Metatrader indicator pack contains an ADX indicator. Bog standard, and it displays ADX,+DI,-DI values in the data window.
Question : Is there a way of dumping the +/- DI values in the data box. I really only need the ADX value displayed.
If there is, could you let me know how?
Many, thanks

You can not change anything with the built in ADX to hide DI+ and DI- values of ADX. It would need to be a custom indicator - we can not change the way how built in indicators are displaying data in the data window
Many thanks mladen...appreciate the reply. would you be interested in putting a custom indicator together for me?

You can use this one : https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/173404 and to prevent showing value other than ADX in the data window (and in indicator sub-window too) replace this :
SetIndexLabel(1,"+DI");
SetIndexLabel(2,"-DI");
SetIndexLabel(3,"ADXUp");
SetIndexLabel(4,"ADXDown");[/PHP]
with this
[PHP] SetIndexLabel(0,"ADX");
SetIndexLabel(1,NULL);
SetIndexLabel(2,NULL);
SetIndexLabel(3,NULL);
SetIndexLabel(4,NULL);Hi,
Could someone please help me with my LotsizeCalc() function.
I would like to multiply my lotsize with the 'MartingaleAmount' if my last trade was a loser. If my last trade was a winner I would like to use the 'normal' lotsize. Unfortunately, when I backtest the EA I get error 4051 from the journal.
It has something to do with the lotsize, because the EA works when I try to run the EA without the "LotsizeCalc()" function.
Does anyone know why my lotsize function won't work?
Thanks in advance,
Thierry
