I requested that you post your code, I didn't ask for you to post code that will not compile. You had not mentioned anything about getting compilation errors.

OK, my misunderstanding.  Apologies!!

Is there a step by step guide for setting up a Signal Follow purchase?  I've got to say there is very little current info or videos that is readily available to guide that journey.  The one "detailed" video for starting the subscription is a link to a 6-yr old Youtube video.  Very disappointing.

In this thread I want to begin to help those who really want to understand and learn programming in the new MQL4 and want to easily switch to MQL5 - the languages are very similar.

This blog will be a good place to discuss tasks, algorithms of their solution and any other questions concerning MT programming one way or another.

I hope that other experienced members of our forum will join us and this thread will be interesting to all.

Hello, I am new to MT4 programming. I just started to learn Forex trading in August 2022 and I would like to codes to make my trading more efficient. Is there an active forum I can join for help with the coding instructions. I have had experience coding in Dbase many years ago.

Can someone help me please. I opened a Meta Trader 4 account with some bloke from overseas. I was very green with this type of trading but wanted to learn.  When I wasn't willing to dump half my savings into this account and trust him with it, he left me high and dry. I've been tyring to contact him for over 12 months but no reply or help. I was trading on my own for a while and made a profit. I want to transfer the funds into my new MQL5 account but there's nowhere on the MQL4 page that will allow me to withdraw funds. I've tried the chat thing on this site, but the robot doesn't understand. Who can I call about this issue?

Thanks, Warren

You fell for a scam! That was a fake broker. MetaQuotes is software company, not a broker.

No one here is going to be able to help you. You should address the issue with the authorities or a lawyer.

why do my pages keep coming up in Russian?

I am new here and want to set up an MT5/MQL5 environment.  the you tube videos only are playing audio so cannot watch them

Does any one know of an EMA histogram indicator like I have in the picture? One that I can adjust the EMA's to my prefered numbers?

The picture is CCI, but I am wanting EMA looking exactly like the CCI's are showing.

I am not a coder, so I have very little knowledge on how to make it hte way I am wanting.

As you can tell, I would like to have one color for price going up, another for price going down, and the third color on a stalling of price.

Thank you.
