Hey, I really want to develop a simple EA based on your indicator: BrainTrend1Sig1. I just want it to buy at the "buy or sell" dot, then close the trade each time the opposing dot appears. THATS IT. No SL, no TP, no anything else. Is that possible? Is there a programmer who can do that for me that...

Hi, while LocalTime() - ie PC time - and CurTime() - ie server time - are available in MT4, this does nothing to help timed EAs, eg execute orders at 00:00 GMT, or only operate during European session. Can I suggest that a GMTtime() function is added to MT4? This would either need to refer to the...

Hello, Although familiar with MT4 and VB6, I am having a hard time following the DLL C++ sample code. I have a language called purebasic, which can create true DLL's that MT4 & vb6 can use. I can pass data from MT4 out via the DLL, but I'm lost as how to pass data from the DLL back to MT4. Could...

Hi, this has uncovered sloppy coding on my part more than anything else. While variables are initialised to zero or "" when declared, the contents of arrays are not. In fact, they (usually?) contain the value stored in the previous execution of start(). At least this is certainly the case with...

Hi guys, I need two very simple EMA indicators that has been working very well for the backtesting. Although there're false signals but it is very minimal especially on 4-H and daily chart.

High, i made this simple expert for a friend, and now he wants to only allow one trade on the same direction. So if there's a buy position open, the expert wont open another buy position; and if there's a sell position open, the expert wont open another sell position. Could someone help me? Thanks...

Hello, I have written a DLL for MT4 which I add to the chart as part of an indicator. The DLL works great. My problem is that if MT4 is closed down, and then restarted, the DLL fails to update the indicator. If I remove the indicator and then add it again to the chart, the DLL returns to normal. Is

Hi can anybody out there tell me if its possible build an Expert advisor that buys/sells a currency at a certain time then close it at a certain time/stop loss or profit? For example if I wanted to buy/sell AUD/USD at 8.00AM GMT then (provided profit or stop losses haven't been hit) close at 10...

Has anyone seen an indicator which displays your AccountEquity as a line in a separate window. I would imagine it could be attached to any chart as it would be independant of the chart symbol. Because I am looking at hedge trading and have two open trades over a long period of time I would like to...
