Hi All - I am having with the above code: for (i=0, i < TotalOrders() First thing to note is that I am using trade context code with global variables to prevent problems with trade timings and trade context errors. My code places a pending order or modifies an existing pending order immediately...
Is ther a way to create an fib indicator in a separate window? I would like to overlay on point and figure indicator. Is there a way to do this? I know it can be done manually but would want something more dynamic.
This indicator has two lines (high=buffer(0) and low=buffer(1)). Essentially, when both lines are low it is a buy signal, and when both lines are high it is a sell signal. Also, the distance between the two lines is a measure of price stability (the greater the distance, the more instability there...
Hi my first post here and greetings to all and thank you for clearing this. Am I alone in seeing this issue between "Indicators" and "Custom Indicators"? Probably... Maybe I'm missing something or I've altered the Client Terminal (CT) settings, Why are there different indicators in the "Indicators"...
Hi, could somebody please tell me what's wrong? My EA should only open 2 pending orders: 1 buy stop and 1 sell stop. But when i test it in strategy tester SOME TIMES it opens too many unwanted sell stops (or buy stops). I mean when it comes to X candle it does open only 1 order but on other test...

I have two points: orderopenprice() and High(1). I need to simulate a Fib Retracement between these points by drawing a line from the open price thru High(1) to get price points. How can this be done?
Please help to set time points: I want to set a time point that's sometime before a given time, for example: TodayDatetime=2009.07.09 0:00, to calculate a time point that's two weeks earlier: TwoWeeksDatetime=TodayDatetime - 2*7*24, time unit in hour, the problem is how to make this work? Thanks,...
This EA in the tester only entered 1 trade in over 2 years worth of data. Any ideas why? It's based on the alligator indicator and when the green line moves below the red line or vice versa, it should enter a trade. All trade closes are handled by the stop loss, which is modified at regular...
Hi When I use the Alert function, it makes the alarm sound once. How can I get it to repeat the sound every 10 seconds and then stop when I press the Ok button like the normal alarm system already built into MT4??
I am modifying the alligator indicator. I want it to send me a screen alert when the green line crfosses the red line but it does this constantly, not just once and then again on the next cross Any ideas: [quote] for(int i=0; i<limit; i++) { //---- ma_shift set to 0 because...
