Okay so when I add a moving average indicator to my chart I can set the shift to -1 and it will give me a value for the MA, which is perfect for what I want, however when I try to program a -1 shift in the iMA function in my EA, the value comes back as zero. How can I overcome this?

To get a previous value(s) from indicators do you use shfit and (if so) how?

Hi guys, I want you to look at my code,i just finished working on it,the code is attached to this mail, ignore the stochastics and ema indicators, my new strategy is based on macd on bar 1,and cci 50 on current forming bar(bar 0) i want it to open buy if cci 50 is greater than 0,on the current bar

When I use setindexlabel, does it automatically post the current value of that label to the indicator window? So if one of my indicators was the MACD , would it auto post the value of the macd to the indicator window

Hi, I'm new to programming MQL4, or even programming at all; I've been working on the trailing stop part of the EA.

So I code a new custom indicator that plots the same indicator on different timeframes in 1 single seperate window. No big deal, right.

Hi guys, I've created a simple EA. It works if being used on 1 pair. However, when I applied the EA on another pair as well, it doesn't works simultaneosly. Meaning to say that, when for example, the EA opened a trade on EURUSD, it won't run on GBPUSD . However, when the trade closes, it will open
