hello when i use DRAW_HISTOGRAM for indicator and chose solid space as drawing style, then histogram is hiding such things like bid lines or stop level lines. This works exactly like Ichimoku indicator from Custom Indcators: all things beside candles are drawn under histogram objects. I dont see any...

I having problem with this function and are getting mad... According to the documentation it reads the array from left to right and if I choose 0 it has to start from 0?

I have a MA that the slope is plotted as a Histogram bar. I am trying to Count the number of Histogram bars and plot them as the red line (see attachment). This seems as if it would be really easy to code, and what I tried. ended up plotting the line backwards. I have looked everywhere for an...

When I view a piece program code on the MQL4 (this site) the comments are in the language of the original author but when I save it the comments change to question marks or nonsensical letters i.e. "Ïàðàìåòðû SAR". I have tried all of the tricks I can think of . . . I would guess the problem stems

Would it be possible to write a MQL4 program that can compare prices, at say one second intervals, between different brokers for the same instrument and time period? I know about the FileWrite() operator that can record prices in a CSV file - and that is about it! Do I have to write a script that...

I'm in the process of completing my first complex EA and I'm not 100% sure that I have inserted my Trade Logic Operations in the proper area. All this EA does is look for the cross of the TDI(RSI Signal Line & RSI Price Line). I imported the actual code that retrieves the 2 TDI values(Signal...

Hi, can anyone think of a way to disallow the user to run more than 1 instance of the same EA in one MT4 terminal at once (not only 2 forward testing instances, but also forward testing + backtesting)? I don't want to get into detailed explanation about why I need to do that, but it's necessary,...

Hello, Is it possible to change the external variables of a custom indicator from an expert advisor that uses the indicator to process trades? If so, could you either explain how this is done or direct me to the documentation that explains the process of doing this? I am writing a simple ea using...

My EA gives insignificant results. I'm using an 'icustom' function of an indicator. does this affect the EA optimisation or is there another eason?

Bollinger Bands don't seem to allow 1.5 standard deviations in the external variable setting. If I use 1.5 in the iBands it doesn't work. Is this just a setting in the Bollinger Band code because it is set to an integer maybe? Do I need to create a Bolly band indicator and use iCustom to reference...
