MQL4 display indicator parameters in a window or log

[drake882]

Hi everybody,

I'm new here and I'm a beginner at MQL4 programming. I have a lot of programming knowledge in C# and JAVA, MQL4 is new for me. I was wondering is it possible to do something like this:

In my program I have ADX indicator and I want to test the EA on history data. I would like a pop up window every time when it enters a buy or sell trade which displays values of my parameters (DI+,DI- and LEVEL) and in this time the testing should pause until I klick on a window OK button.

I need a way to get the values of my parameters every time it enters a trade because it seems that the indicator chart is showing other values then the values that have been calculated in my program. It often enters the trade when the conditions have not been met. 

Thank you for your help.

You can simply Print current parameters before every trade, along with buffer values and then analyze the data.

Do you change indicator parameters on the fly?

Do you consider that indicator is recalculated on every tick and its lines can trigger your custom events just temporarily and then, when bar is closed this consition does not seem true anymore but the trade is already open?

Are you in MT5 or MT4?
