Set names for "Value" in Data Window?
If it's possible, how do we set name for the 'Value' fields in the Data Window?
I know they are displaying the buffer values, but don't know how to display the buffer name, instead of 'Value 2' etc.
Anyone know?
Thanks
it's one of those things....
i looked high and low, and somehow couldn't find it, but as soon as I posted, I found the answer.
If anyone else needs to know, just add "SetIndexLabel(0,"your text here");" to the arrow buffer code... like this:
SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_ARROW,0,arrowSize,BuyColor);
SetIndexArrow(0,158);
SetIndexBuffer(0,buyPrice);
SetIndexEmptyValue(0,0);
SetIndexLabel(0,"Buy Price");

Micah222Sometimes by just change a bit the settings Ea could work.
Example: If you're trading with 0.1 lots change to 0.10 or 0.01
Otherwise you need to find a version that work with 5 digits.

Can't switch between currencies
I didn't use to have this problem, but now when I try to go to a different currency tab in MT4, half of the time, the chart will not change, the only thing that will change is the currency listed in the program's title bar and the focus of the tab at the bottom. It's as if it is getting stalled but my computer should be powerful enough, I've closed down any other programs, internet connection is fine, I've tried different servers. Any ideas or similar experiences?
Thanks!

Have you, let's say, more than 10/12 charts open at same time?

Absolutely, but it used to be able to handle it?

Yes, but maybe you're without the needed free memory, swap, cpu power, too many indies on every chart. Too many reasons and too many answers. I mean, it could be MT only or a joint or reasons.
You could start by check how much memory and how much cpu usage is eating the MT and all those charts.
