StringAdd() IntegerToString() - what's wrong?

In a string of the type

x=StringAdd(x,IntegerToString(y));

gives a yellow warning

implicit conversion from 'string' to 'number'

what is wrong?

Good afternoon.

Task: calculate to a point the middle of the channel (to be used as a pending order). I set the borders of the channel manually.

double up_level, down_level, stop_size;

int init()
{
   up_level=1.55974;
   down_level=1.55596;
   stop_size = NormalizeDouble((up_level - down_level)/2,5);
   Alert ("Ширина канала = ", NormalizeDouble(up_level - down_level,5));
   Alert ("Середина канала = ", NormalizeDouble(stop_size,5));
   return(0);
}

I calculate it with the calculator

1.55974 - 1.55596 = 0.00378

Alert shows width = 0.0038

0.00378/2 = 0.00189

Alert gives out middle = 0.0019

Question: Why doesn't the program count the 5th digit?

GygaByte:

   Alert ("Ширина канала = ", DoubleToString(up_level - down_level,5));
   Alert ("Середина канала = ", DoubleToString(stop_size,5));

When outputting to alert, comment, print, etc. (i.e., "to be seen clearly on the screen"), you need to convert it to text.

You'll get it:

P./S.: And for internal calculations - yes, NormalizeDouble(...).

P./S.: There is also, for example, useful information on this subject and a link to an article in the Forum Navigator.

StringAdd is of type bool.

All you have to do is specify the join to the end of the string (if x is of the string type in your case, of course):

StringAdd(x,IntegerToString(y));

P./S.: Good examples on strings are in this article, for example: https://www.mql5.com/ru/articles/585

(and there just type or copy-paste from the search page: StringAdd)

Please help me understand.

How do I write different lines in the EA from the indicator?

I have an indicator - MACD 2 Line. How to prescribe the lines from the indicator in my Expert Advisor?

Return values:

• custom indicators: iCustom
• technical indicators: https://docs.mql4.com/ru/indicators

P./S.: How to put this into practice, if questions arise, can be found in a variety of searches on the website and/or in the textbook.

Good luck.

Hi all, I have a question, is it better to make one cycle for all purposes or can there be several cycles in a block, is there a difference in terms of performance of the EA or not?

Hello all.

To test the strategy on H1 I need to get the previous day's close.

In the indicator I write the following (after declaring "CloseLine" in OnInit()) :

---

int OnCalculate(const int rates_total, const int prev_calculated,

const datetime &time[], const double &open[],

const double &high[], const double &low[],

const double &close[], const long &tick_volume[],

const long &volume[], const int &spread[])

{

Close_Day=iClose("EURUSD",PERIOD_D1,1);

ObjectSet("CloseLine",OBJPROP_PRICE1,Close_Day);

return(rates_total);

}

As a result, the price from Day TF is not changed and the line is not rearranged.

Please help.

Thank you
