Anyone else noticed this and reported it? At first I thought it might be my complex coding, so I grabbed sample code from the Code Base. Can

Hello I'm trying to get a very basic ChartFirst() command working in mql4. But it always produces error 4211 - Chart Not Found. There is a chart open in the trader. 3 charts open, in fact. My code simply says in OnInit(): Alert(ChartFirst()); Any idea why this is not returning a valid chart ID?...

Hi all! I found a fractal custom indicator that I am fond of. Also, I modified it a bit to represent a clearer image of support and resistance. That's right! lol... ;) My wish is to select the last created fractal written on the chart. If this cannot be done, maybe the possibility of using...

Hello, I am a beginner with MT4. If a trade ten stocks, in ten windows of MT4 and use every time a stopp loss, then I have ten times an open risk.

Hello! Sometime, I've a problem with OrderSend Function when i try to open at same time a Buy and a Sell Order. The platform (not the EA) answer me that one of two order was open in Buy (instead of Sell) or vice versa. I'm sure that not is a problem of my EA, because it is able to open Buy and Sell...

I'm still a bit new to MQL4 especially after the build 600 changes Anyway, I'm not sure if my coding is wrong, if this is a bug, or if I don't understand something... but anyway: double calc[]; for (int loop = 200; loop >= 0; loop--) { calc[loop] = iRSI(NULL, timeframe, period, price, loop);...

Hi There I have a need to read indicators and bars values based on a 4 hour window, but always updated to refer to a 4 hour bar ending at the latest tick. So instead of finding out the 4 hour low, high, etc only every 4 hours (12am, 4am, 8am, 12pm etc...), I need to read these values for the last 4...

Hi, I recently went to close a chart and accidently shut down the platform (Why are those X's so close together?) So I started the platform again and it auto-updated to build 625 from 610. Next time I looked at MetaEditor, there was the small message "Do you want to save changes to....." I guess...

I had this question before but the thread went off topic. I back tested my EA against (by now) probably over 12 instruments, mostly currencies, my EA did well against most of them however on two instruments, Hang Seng and FTSE, my EA was hit pretty hard, my EA survived Hang Seng but the drawdown was...

I have about 8-10 variables that cannot be recalculated on the fly without substantial aggravation (they are derived from iCustom calls potentially long past). Considering that I normally run 5-10 instances of the EA per terminal and I want to create a level of persistence, which is my better option

Because I am still a little new to building with the Indicator code, I have some confusion on the shift format. I know that the i for bar code can be used in EA'S also, but needs to be for the placement of the indicator. I have put in a couple example to more easily explain my problem or...

I've been running back-tests some instruments and I decided to test my EA against volatile instruments, I started with what I thought was volatile e.g XAUUSD then I moved on to instruments I had never traded on before, these instruments turned out to be very volatile but the volatility differed and...

The easiest way for an EA to get information either from another chart or from the previous start was to use GlobalVariables. But they only exists and can take and provide doulbes: 8 byte. If you now want to save a long (int) 8 byte too variable its typ is casted and it may lose its exact value - so...

At the moment only one terminal b625 is running, 4 charts are open and no EA is applied!! Now I started my script in debug-mode: line by line. It shall start my test_EA to check how I can set and get the chart comment - an all of a sudden I there was a sell-limit order opened. The account is not

My MT4 recently crashed while reorganizing profiles. From then on it keeps crashing on startup.
