Hello! One thing which I would find quite helpful would be to add a way to offer a description for the indicator and even more important to the inputs.

Looking at the Report tab of the strategy tester there is this data of 'Bars in test'. One would think this is the number of bars actually tested by the tester, only no matter what dates I use in the Settings tab I get the same number of bars (and the same number of 'ticks modelled'). Why doesn't...

I'm having bad problems with the editor since the last update. Will there be a fix soon?

Please see next question:

I'm also involved in an Amibroker to interface to Metatrader project . Someone in that group had this to say in an email today :- 'As for MT4, the pres of the company has said that there will be an API "in a few months." Until an API is available there will be no way to build a plug-in for MT4.' Now

With the build in print (from menu) I can print the chart that I can see at the moment on screen. Currently, I print the first sheet with the newest view, press 'page up' for the last view, print next sheet and so on, to get all views from the timeframe. Is there any way to print the whole chart

When backtesting a script under MT4 v.180 the log file under \Metatrader 4\tester grows huge to the point where it was 30 GB and I was running out of hard disk space.

If an expert is in the middle of processing and has locked the semaphore, and the user closes the chart window or changes the time frame or does anything else that causes the expert to deinit, won't the semaphore remain locked? That would prevent any expert from processing. You can't exactly reset...

Any chance that this indicator can be added? Another nice one to have would be the BW MFI. Thanks, Josh

I have a quick question about all of this. I was thinking earlier and is this basically babysitting an account? What I mean is that since we don't have direct contact with the script and code etc then this is basically like a custodial account except its not a minor trading but a robot. Please tell
