Alexey Viktorov:

How clever of you, and so succinct. Thank you.

[Alexey Volchanskiy]

Karputov Vladimir:
This is a check to return the PositionGetDouble function. If it fails, it returns 0 - i.e. it's an error.

And I use the second form in Five, it seems more reliable to me.

[Alexey Viktorov]

Alexey Volchanskiy:

And I use the second form in the five, I think it's more reliable.

And in a loop.

do while(!PositiobGetDouble(POSITION_VOLUME, double_var);

I'm sure it won't slip past...

и

of this indicator:

You cannot do it directly. You should write the variable value in the indicator buffer and take it from there through iCustom

[Roman Shiredchenko]

Andrey Barinov:

This is understandable... Maybe a short example for one variable and that's it... Although it looks like I'll find something in the help there myself...

Thank you. How to write them to the buffer, I mean what type of buffer to organize.... You don't need lines in this indicator...

How do I modify the magic number of a market order in MQL4?

Alexey Volchanskiy:

There is also an explicit type conversion:

Thank you! We'll take it under advisement.

Absolutely no, the same with comment. Only reopen with a different magic number

Hello.

Please advise how to solve the following problem.

An EA is trying to open a position and the server returns a requote.

Since there is no EA code, we need to find out from the outside that there was a requote and open the same position at any cost.

Only analyze log files such as \logs\20160922.log. But we cannot get them from MQL4/5, only \MQL5\Files folder is available for reading/writing.

So, we need to write an external script which will read the log, analyze it and inform MQL4/5 if a position needs to be opened.

Or it simply copies the log once per second to the Files folder, and from there it can be read and analyzed using MQL tools
