How to open trades for Expert Advisor? - MQL4 and MetaTrader 4

jarikn 2021.06.28 13:24 #15171

I found a new indicator, I wanted to put it on my EA, but the problem is that it opens trades on every candle. Can you tell me how to make it open only on arrow signal?

First of all, the indicator is not new at all, but very old. So old that its interfaces are outdated even for 4

Secondly, it redraws. Exactly at HalfLength (5 bars by default, set in parameters)

and finally - how to open trades for Expert Advisor depends on 90% of the EA, that is, without the EA code, everything is useless

Ok. Got it. For example, if we take 2 indicators with different periods and write the condition *if 1 indicator shows the up arrow and 2 indicators shows the up arrow on one candle, give us an alert and an arrow on the chart*. Do you know how this can be implemented? Do I need to add a buffer or can I create an indicator that follows the signals of both? And if you are not hard, give an example how to do it

If you add two iCustom indicators with different periods to your Expert Advisor, you will (probably) be in luck.

Add two iCustom with different periods to your EA and (maybe) you'll be happy.

OK, I'll give it a try. Thank you.

I'm trying to write an indicator like ZigZag by the number of passed points.

I'm afraid I don't have enough knowledge to write it myself, so I decided to rewrite someone else's indicator.

This is what has come out

It seems to be drawing correctly, but it lags.

The price has passed 50 points but indicator does not draw.

Please help me to fix this problem.

should work in MT4 if you change the numbering in the main calculation cycle

Igor, thank you, but MT4 does not work correctly.

Please tell me what has to be correct.

jarikn 2021.06.29 11:29 #15180

I have encountered such a problem. I put the mt2 indicator on mt4. it is supposed to read the indicator buffers and when the arrow appears it should automatically open trades on binary options. but the problem is that I have it opening trades every new candle and only upwards. Who knows what's wrong?
