Questions from Beginners MQL5 MT5 MetaTrader 5 - page 805

Vladimir Karputov:

You can't. You have to sign up from a Windows desktop computer, and MetaTrader 5 must be installed on that computer.

I see, thank you.

I can't solve a simple problem.

In the EA, when getting the indicator handle...

int OnInit()
  {
//--- Получить хэндл индикатора Envelopes_upper для отрисовки верхней линии
   EnvHandle_upper=iEnvelopes(NULL,0,Period_upper,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_MEDIAN,Deviation_upper);

....terminal draws both lines, but I only need the top line.

How to disable drawing of this line? I.e. change its colour to CLR_NONE, or line style to DRAW_DONE?

I understand that my question stumped everyone: either because it is too simple or it is impossible?

Question about OnBookEvent().

The init made a subscription to the euroyoungest. But OnBookEvent() never worked. In help it says: BookEvent event is generated... when the state of the price stack changes.

Please explain in a nutshell: what is meant by "change of state"? If it's a quote, then it's always moving. If not, then what?

Greetings all! searched the forum for 30 minutes for"new bar", I was sad to find that the search on the forum works in its own way...

If i'm interested, what is the latest build of mql5 in terms of finding a new bar for the indicator that works on one timeframe, what code anyone uses now?

ZS: i searchedTimeframesFlags ... it's a cumbersome solution, but universal

thanks in advance!

BookEvent is used for exchange instrumentsthat have a Depth of Market.

And for currencies - you need to use the MarketWatch function.

For currencies, the MarketWatch function should be used.

Thanks for the reply, I will look into it.
Actually, I need a function, which would be called on the tick of any symbol (not just one, but all of them). Can you tell me how to do it?

In principle, OnTick() does this , but be aware of it:

NewTick

The NewTickevent is generated when new quotes arrive and is handled by the OnTick() function in attached EAs. If at the arrival of a new quote the OnTick function was running on the previous quote, the incoming quote will be ignored by the Expert Advisor, because the corresponding event is not placed in the EA event queue.

All new quotes that come during the execution of the program are ignored by the program until the next execution of the OnTick() function is finished. The function will be launched only after the next new quote has been received.

Ivan Ivanov:

Basically, OnTick() does it.

I probably don't even have the brains to ask the question correctly.

I need such a function, which would be triggered in response to a tick on any character. There is only one expert. It sits, for example, in the euro window. However, the ticks come to the pound, the franc and gold. This expert in the euro window must rise to any tick - both pound and franc. We are talking about a multi-currency EA.

OnTick works properly, but it only rises on euro ticks.

I'm beginning to realise that just this simple issue isn't solved. There needs to be some kind of euro tick emulator or something. The timer, unfortunately, at least for 1 second. And I don't want to get hung up, because then there are a lot of questions - and when switching the TF and when catching the keyboard, etc.

You have no idea how grateful I am to you!

That's a lot to take in. Of course, everything needs to be tried out now, but that's the little things.

I had no idea that happiness can be so close!)) Thank you! How is it... I'm here for you, I'm here for you!
