Hello!
How can I get every tick from other currency pairs in Expert Advisor (MQL4)?

Then can you tell me how to get every 10ms information about ticks from other currency pairs?

[Alexey Viktorov]

OnTimer() will help you.

AlexeyVik:
OnTimer() is your help.

Thank you!

OnTimer() will help you.

The specified periodicity of EventSetTimer( int seconds ) is used there. Does it mean that I can get information about ticks every 1 second? I need faster - 10-20ms.

The indicator needs to get the index by the opening time of the daily bar, on a smaller timeframe.

It works correctly only on the zero bar. What is wrong?

Not only EventSetTimer( int seconds ) but also EventSetMillisecondTimer, why are you so inattentive? It's written next to it.

Thank you! I was looking in the reference book OnTimer and it mentions only EventSetTimer.

Can you tell me how to write a simple EA like this? It opens an order at a certain time of day, and then if the order closes at a stop loss, it opens the same order in the opposite direction. The next day everything repeats. I would like to test this kind of EA and see if its profit will be stable. Please help me to write it.

Please help me, how do I write"if the price came from a certain range"?

Example from the picture: to open a trade, the price should come from a certain range 1.1100 and 1.1100 should come from a certain range 1.1200.

The variant with iHighest and iLowest is not suitable because this condition is not time-dependent.

Is there a way to check from the code in which mode the test is running -
all ticks, open prices or test points?
