make it an Expert instead of a script and control the execution time of the script function code in the Expert. The time has come - execute the script code.

I understood from this phrase that your terminals are closed. I am answering you - the script cannot start the terminal itself.

As you write it, that's how it is understood. If this is not what you mean, then explain yourself more clearly.

What's the value of the idea? If you needed it that badly, you wouldn't have had a proger set it up a long time ago... it's for you personally.

1. Copy the contents of the script.

2. Create a new EA using MetaEditor

3. Insert the code of the script

4. How to add the function of working by time and where to insert it (I am not a programmer)

I need the function work time from 9-00 to 9-01

The script code to be edited: (Thanks in advance to all who will help)

Hi, could you tell me which folder to put the fonts in in MT4?

--- 2010.03.02 11:34 #4553

%windir% \ fonts

--- 2010.03.02 11:40 #4554

for baltik

string NeedTime="9:00";
datetime time0=0;

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
void start() 
{

 if ( time0>=StrToTime( NeedTime)) return; // если сегодня уже выполняли код
 if (TimeCurrent()<=StrToTime( NeedTime)) return; // если требуемое время ещё не наступио
 time0=TimeCurrent(); // иначе запоминаем время

// и делаем то что надо

// бла бла бла остальной код

This thread is for people who are learning to program, not for people who are asking you to write for them.

sergeev >>:
%windir% \ fonts

Can you keep it simple, I don't understand it... what kind of folder is it? or what is it anyway?

chepikds >>:

можно как-то попроще, я ничего не понял... это что за папка? или что это вообще такое?

Actually, the question "which folder to put fonts in MT4" is not very clear either. Please explain in Russian. :)

Fonts are not stored in the terminal. fonts are handled by the operating system.

Dmitry Chepik 2010.03.02 11:45 #4557

sergeev >>:

вообще-то вопрос "в какую папку вставить шрифты в МТ4" тоже не очень понятен.

в терминале никакие шрифты не хранятся. шрифтами занимается операционная система.

OK, I'll try putting it in the operating system...

Thank you sergeev ,it's working.

hello. i wrote a simple EA, using examples from the tutorial. the EA should signal when the price moves out of the range, which consists of two MAs. i.e. if a bar opened in the range and started rising and its current price moved out of it, then it beeps. the same goes for down. but the problem is that i cannot figure out if i do this

if (Bid > MA1 || Bid < MA2) // Checking the range pass
{
Alert("Price is outside the range.");// Message
}

If the price is above the range, then the Expert Advisor will alert me, but if I do this:

if (Bid > MA1 && Fact_Up==true) // Check upwards pass
{
Fact_Dn=true; // Report price above MA1
Fact_Up=false; // Not report price below MA1
Alert("Price is above range.");// Message
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
if (Bid < MA2 && Fact_Dn==true) // Check down pass
{
Fact_Up=true; // Report price below MA2
Fact_Dn=false; // Not report price above MA2
Alert("Price is below range.");// Message
}

If this message is shown, then it is not clear at all, when it gives a signal - sometimes it gives a signal, sometimes it doesn't.

I can't figure out what the "Fact_Up==true" is and why it's needed.
