I was wondering how we can draw histogram on the chart or rather cover the candles with a specific colour. For example I'm trying to cover white candles with the green colour when the white candle is longer than 15 pips. Here is the code I've written and I don't know what's wrong with it. Any ideas?...

Made a buy/sell signal indicator using Williams %R. Go Long on Solid Green Up Arrow; Close the position on Hollow Green Down Arrow. Go Short on Solid Red Down Arrow; Close the position on Hollow Red Up Arrow. I haven't back or forward tested this yet. This works best with a volatility indicator like

Hi Slawa, Is the following endless loop code ok? while(IsStopped=false) { if (Bars<100 or IsConnected=false or IsTradeAllowed=false) return(0); .......do some processing here ie buy/sell conditions, place orders, etc. } Is it ok to exit program if connection is broken? is this...

How come with the bands indicator, I can adjust the deviation to lets say 1.7 versus 2.0, but when I program the same, it will not recognize a deviation of the bands of 1.7. Instead it reads it at 1. I used the extern double BandsDeviation = 2.0; and then changed it to 1.7, but the programming is...

Hello, I could not find out what "trade timeout" means. Can I get a trade timeout error message (error # 128) for a market order? Or can I only get trade timeout error message for pending orders? Can you also please give me an example of when an order "times out"? Thank you for your help...

Hi, Here is USDJPY just before its last drop. I tried every indicator I have and none of them could predict the drop. Is anyone here can do that? I just delete the prices from the history (H1 data) changed the TF to 4H and come back to 1H to get this chart. Thanks Eli

Hi Slawa, Yes, I have read and studied all the possible errors. But your reference point (http:/docs.mql4.com/trading/errors) you told me to look at still does not specifically say what a "timeout error" is (it just states what i should do if i get the error) i need to understand first what the...

Hi Slawa, If I try and place an order but order fails due to an execution error, can I resend same order straight away? For example if I get error number 4 (server busy) do i really have to wait "several minutes"? or can i just keep on trying to re-send order until it gets filled? If I keep on...

Hi Slawa, Reason I ask about error numbers is that in your moving average and MACD samples, you do not refer to different error messages and do some specific action. For example, if i get error "trade server is busy", why do i have to wait several minutes before i try to send order again. Why do...

Also, if I wanted to later check if I was above or below that
