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

How does one disable the logging of the file to the hard disk while doing the backtest? I believe now it writes everything that it...

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

Does anyone have a monthly pivot indicator for MT 4 that they can share? Many thanks.

I thought chart templates were suppose to be useful in remembering layout, color, indicator, expert settings, etc. for use on any currency. However, when applying a template to another currency, it applies the saved Point and Digits settings too. So, why are these settings being saved in a...

What is going on with the Data feed??

My MT4 doesn't have any new quotes or data yet, and it's 2300 on Aug. 22. I should've been getting data for the last 6 hours. My older MT version that runs with InterbankFX does have data, though. Is anyone else having this problem? Thanks, John

Hi, since nobody can tell me how can insert a screenshot I have to describe again ... how can it be that I see a GBPJPY price of 198.85 on my chart and the price in the terminal window shows 198.93 ? No need to mention that my S/L at 198.95 was taken out when the price showed 198.87 in the chart

This 'Major Flaw' was documented this morning. The flaw created a 18 fold overstatement of the real trade. The real trade captured 33 pips, the backtester overstated it to 620+ pips. Is this cause for serious concern? I should think so. I have sent this documentation to my brokerage firm...

This coding was to eliminate only pending buy and sell stop orders. It unfortunately is deleting both the pending buy and sell stop orders, but also the orders that are active and in play. How can I change this to only eliminate the pending and not the active buy and sell stops that are in play?...

The initialization after compile will not initialize the line width in the SetIndexStile(); Otherwise, if initialized on open from the "Indicator List" or from "Properties List" (if a vlue is changed) it works a OK. -Stan
