Big changes for MT4, in a few weeks - page 170

 

Dislike iCustom because this very limited to only being able to read doubles. But a good way to overcome this limitation and those bugs is using the indicator with a mapped file. It's an idea that well-run, it could bring the indicators communication to another level.

I agree that all can be done in a better way

But if an indicator can play the role of a function, why not using it? Functions are a basis of all (normal ) coding languages (except mql 5 that can not use another indicator as a function)

Just because not all indicators working with buffers. Pivots, money managers and trades and others. And to use structures is more logical and effective. As we all agree that MetaQuotes afraid of the word API, then we will have to find alternatives to bypass the limitations If iCustom had a version that would return a pointer to an object, then it would be different.

 

Other error with templates. I think they will implement the templates as I code by testing them.

PS: Another large block of code off until it is resolved.

 

One can argue how they grouped the build in indicators, but calling the ATR an oscillator is peculiar at the least

 

Guys, don't forget : from August the 1st support to metatrader 4 build 509 (and lower) will be discontinued

 

If you are using stop loss and take profit your log file will grow immensely with build 670

God forbid that you use trailing stop : then you are doomed to by 10 times bigger hard drive

 

They call it progress If you tell them about it be sure to ware fireproof clothes - first reaction will be : "so what?" and the second "you do not know anything". That is the mq moderators credo : kill everybody that notices something is wrong

 

Guys

That what is happening with metatrader is a big problem. That is exactly what was going on with metatrader 5 and see how bellowed metatrader 5 is. The latest that they are again changing the way how things work on the fly is driving away coders. No coders - no code. No code - no way to get what you need without paying. Ask tradestation users how much is one simple indicator? Metatrader seems to ignore that and is constantly doing things that are wrong for the users. Not good

We feel it every day

as if all stopped from one day to another. Warez sites recycling and renaming same old stuff (they do not have anything new to steal - coders stopped making new stuff for metatrader). This is one of the few sites we can still find new code. Metatrader code base is dead - worthless crap mostly

Reason:
