Hi, I have a great filter. It has essentially zero lag, and is smoother than other known alternatives (JMA, ZLMA, ...). I have 1 problem though: that is the windowing function (the function that decides how many periods back it has to look to calculate the smoothed value in the current bar). I think...
When I specify a name prefix, it's deleting all Global Variables, not just the GVs with the prefix. There's a message in the forum back in 2006 that suggests this would be fixed, it's broken again. MT4GV_TS_Prefix = "TSv2_"+Symbol()+"_"+Period()+"_"; GlobalVariablesDeleteAll(MT4GV_TS_Prefix);
I've always wanted to have the ability to code a blackjack simulator but back then coding seemed too complex an endeavor to attempt. I settled on using blackjack simulators which worked for basic stuff but the more advanced I became, the more questions I had which my commercial software couldn't...

I've just discovered MQL4, and I am reading the documentation ;-) The doco says: "Stop Loss and Take Profit orders (described below) can be attached to a market order." When I open a market execution order the 'Take Profit' field is 'greyed out'. How do I attach a Take Profit order? Do I have to...
