indicator to allow ticker with suffix to work on signals

New comment
 

Just got a signal and it is sent to tickers EURUSD.m, GBPUSD.m 


I'm allowed to trade EURUSDMicro, and don't want to take the huge lots of EURUSD so I'd like to adapt this signal on my side (user). I gathered by reading the forum that creating an indicator to make MT5 recognize only the 6 first letters of the ticker would be a solution, but the code posted doesn't work anymore when I compile, and I don't know much about coding either. 


So can anyone fix this code that another forumer posted?
