Thanks shawnmstout for your contribution. Much appreciated!

A TS function could be tricky, this could be dependent on how each individual EA is coded. Would be a nice tool to have.

Anyone?

Another good label making function:

void SetLabel(string Name, string Text, int x, int y, string Font, int Size, color Color)

{

if(ObjectFind(Name) == -1)

ObjectCreate (Name, OBJ_LABEL, 0, 0, 0);

ObjectSet (Name, OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, x);

ObjectSet (Name, OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, y);

ObjectSetText (Name, Text, Size, Font, Color);

} [/PHP]

An example of how to use it:

[PHP]SetLabel("1","My Custom Label",10,20,"Courier",15,Red);

This has been fun to use for me, hope others find this helpful.

 

Save Ticks in Array

Ever wanted to save the ticks in real time in an array for your EA to use in some way?

Function to save real time ticks in an array:

#define Array_Length 10000

double bid[Array_Length];

void TickSave()

{

for ( int i = Array_Length-1; i > 0; i-- )

bid = bid;

bid[0] = Bid;

} [/PHP]

Function to clear the array:

[PHP]void ClearTickSave()

{

for ( int i = Array_Length-1; i >= 0; i-- )

bid = 0;

}

I included a simple EA to show how this works. It simply saves the ticks, and shows the most recent ticks as comments on your screen.

bid[0] is the current tick.
