I have 20 standard МА and several indicators in my Expert Advisor. How to make them not hinder to see the chart during testing with visualization?

Another variant - when binding indicator buffers, declare them as INDICATOR_CALCULATIONS instead of INDICATOR_DATA.

Hello. Could you please tell me how to replace text from Comment() function? I have Comment() in int init() and I want a different text to appear in int start(). Can I just call it again and give new parameters? In this case the old parameters will be erased? And I need this to work in mql 4 code.

Ah, well, you should be more precise in your requests. Now it's counting correctly.

Good afternoon!

For comparison, I am attaching two pictures, one from MQL4 where my indicator is displayed (moving outside the midline) and one from MQL5.

I don't know why it does that. I do not know MQL5 very well. Probably the value is lost somewhere. The charts are 15 minute charts on the current date.

Please tell me how to bind the trading signals to a real trading account on the platformuTrader TP, the problem is that when you sign up in the login window pops up a comment that the username of the trading account can only be digital. and I have a login is the name of my mailbox. How, in this case, connect the robot to your real trading account?

Look carefully at the MQL4 code of the indicator. It does not just subtract price and indicator value. When you understand from the code what the indicator calculates, I think you will immediately be able to make changes in the MQL5 indicator.

It gets the difference between the current price and the moving average. Although yes, I made a mistake, I used the maximum average line instead of the moving average.

But the breakdown of zero line is still there and in MQL5 it is not. I updated above pictures (moving average for calculation without shifts in 34 periods by kloz, red line,

in upper window, left graph, line in the middle). The same is obvious take the 34 period closing moving average and compare it to the 15 minute bar closing on October 10, 2014 and

you will see that the difference is 33 pips on a four-digit euro quote.

I know the code of the indicator in MQL4 well, as I made it myself.

MQL5 indicator now calculates correctly and economically.
