Hello, I'm trying to figure out a way to right align the description for a trend line... From what I can find, there isn't a way to align a label or textbox by pixels and price at the same time, so that it stays on the right side of the chart. I need something that functions much like fibonacci...

Hi, I try to understand MQL4 and the working of the tester. I have some simple code which I expected to draw (lots of) arrows on the chart. But it only draws one arrow. Maybe I do not know how the tester activates the start() routine or the code is not correct. The code to draw up arrows: int...

If I go long with one lot but the trade go against me by 50pips, this EA should open short trade of 2lots instead 1lot to recover loss and if the trend continues in this the same direction then all opened trades should close at 30pits profit. But perhaps the trend reverse after opening the 2lots...

For example, assume a chart for EURUSD with PERIOD_W1: double currOpen = iOpen("EURUSD", PERIOD_W1, 0); //The open price for this week double currClose = iClose("EURUSD", PERIOD_W1, 0); //The close price for this week (but -- depending on the time -- not quite final) QUESTION: For a weekly...

I just installed another 512mb of memory for a total of 1gb. After making a test run for 2 eyars every tick. MT grabbed about 200mb after asecond run another 200mb.

Hi I'm new to forex and need some help. I graphed the upward move in pips (high-open) on the usd/jpy daily and it seems that if the move up is less than 20pips then the next day up move if it exceeds the previous days up move continues on to be at least a 50pip move. I just used a simple bar chart...
