Candle match for all currency pairs charts opened on mt4

New comment
 

Hello,

To whom it may concern;

I am new to programming but have been a trader for 12 years.

Due to free time I decided to learn some mql4.

I have written couple of scripts. The last one which I will attach at the bottom of this page checks to see if a there is an identical bar to the one the user picks. So if you run the script there are 2 inputs which the user can change; first one is "barstocheck"(this determines how many bars to check for the identical candle starting from the back) second one is "bartocheck"(this is the candle to compare against all the other candles).

What I want to do next is to check all the currency pairs with their charts open on  mt4 for the identical candle.

Is there a numerical value attached for each chart/symbolname that is open on the mt4. I want to use those numerical values in a for loop to go through all symbols.

tnx in advance.

Hal.

 Im new to this forum. But I posted my script in my first post using Alt-s. I explained what the script does. I also explained what I want it to do next. I can see my script being posted on my end but perhaps its not seen from your end.  
 Let me explain again here, if you cant see my script let me know. 
 
 When you run the script the dialog box appears and the user can change inputs for 2 things. 1 is bartocheck (this is  the # of the bar you want to compare with other bars, default is 1 the last closed bar). 2 is barstocheck (this is how many bars you want to compare with bartocheck). Than the script runs and checks to see if there is an exact match with the chosen bartocheck candle comparing range,body, wickhigh and wicklow. And alerts if there is an exact match and the index of the candle that is a match. 
 
 What I want to do now is to check all available symbols that are open on mt4 not just the chart that the script is run on. 
 
 
So I wanted to know if there is a way to do this.

Its weird its like there is a post thief.


I posted my code under the previous post but now its gone.

Ok, I understand.


I posted it again because William said that I didn't post it. So I thought that it was not seen by others.


And also I'm not used to admin or anyone else going inside my post and erasing whatever they want. Its just weird to me.


I have been posting in FFactory for a long time, that never happened to me. What can happen is they will move the whole post into a different
thread.
