Hi All, I am a MQL4 newbie and don't really code so I need some guidance. I am working on an EA and for testing purposes I would like to fire off a buy and sell order every minute (in this example) so I can watch the behaviour of my code. I have two snippets below; One being from the timer function...

I need an EA to capture the color from an indicator. I believe it is passes as a decimal value. If I'm wrong let me know. Can someone direct me to a resource that lists the decimal values for each color in the color table?
Hello all, First time posting here, so please bear with me if this is in the wrong thread. I've searched, what seems endlessly, for the answer to the question I have to no avail! Also, I am by no means a programmer, but am very familiar with installing EA's(purchased or freebies) to my MT4,...

Hello can someone add max trades to this EA or prevent it from doing infinite reverse positions (make it do just one reverse position to the orginal one ) and set lot size for it thanks in advance
Hey guys, I'm wondering if I had made any set up mistakes. I am learning MQL4 just now and was trying one of those simple sample programs (see below). I am getting alerts during init() and deinit(). But no alerts are popping up at all during start(). Am I missing to do some set up? Or what do u...
I have a simple ea that uses the Macd to enter a scalping trade. The Macd calculation is fixed on the M1 chart by using PERIOD_M1: MacdMainCurrent=iCustom(NULL,PERIOD_M1,"IBFX - MACD Traditional",FastSma,SlowSma,SignalSma,MODE_MAIN,0); MacdSignalCurrent=iCustom(NULL,PERIOD_M1,"IBFX - MACD...
B-Clock modified is simple and excellent. Unfortunately it will not work with Strategy Tester. As am a newbie, and see that it uses CurTime() (Server) to calculate time to bar close. Would be happy to see minutes left to go. All suggestion welcome Cheers

Hi: I am interested in accessing some of the native MQL4 functions from inside my DLL code: mainly to allow the reporting of error messages or status. Here is a simplified example of what I would like to do. Note that it is an oversimplification for demonstration purposes. In actual practice the...

Can anyone help me with this? I have written the following while loop. The idea behind it is that it keeps updating winprice and looseprice with the current Ask price until the current ask price is equal to the stop loss or take profit. However it goes into a endless loop, because the Ask price...
How exactly do you compare for example if the two(or how many ever) previous bars are lower or higher than the current bar? I guess basically what I need to do is compare previous prices with current prices to generate a buy or sell signal. I thought I could do it this way, but it doesn't seem to...
I'm in the early stages of writing a new EA and I am shocked by the variability in the processing time. For example, I am currently calculating and printing only two MA's and sometimes it takes only 1 second, then sometimes it takes 24 seconds. My guess is the EA must interact with the broker's...
Hello, Newbie here...I want to make a simple indicator that I can input 2 numbers, 1 for a fast MA and 1 for a slow MA (both simple) that will draw the lines and dran an up arrow when either the fast or slow ma turns up while the other one is turned up. The indicator I have written gives me an...
For the build 221 update, what happens after you get the pop-up window asking "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?" Click "yes" and nothing happens. Is there something else that needs to be done. Um, yes I know it's beta and all that stuff, and this is only...
Does anyone have an ADX sound alert indicator where one can set alert levels. Eg: ADX crossing the 25 level. There appears to be plenty of adx +/- crossing indicators but so far I have had no luck in this particular quest. I would be grateful for any pointers on this one. Cheers

FileWrite(handle, OrderPrint()) will direct the output from OrderPrint to the screen first and then FileWrite the number 1 to a file. How can I get the OrderPrint() output to a file? I'm aware there are other longer ways of achieving the same thing, so my question is specifically regarding...
same as above, i try to google it but still dont have clue about it, i hear somebody say it is very profitable once u understand it so i wonder does anybody know what they are
In order to calculate the MA slope, I need to obtain the MA value from a few periods back, say 5 periods prior to the current period. As best I can tell, the "shift" parameter in this function is the means for obtaining that value, and I have used "5" for that parameter. However, it does not...
Dear Programmers! Can I use buttons in the EA? For example I would like to create a button which immediately open a determinate trade. It can be on the chart or anywhere else. Thank you. Relative
