The following code for an indicator just kept crashing / suspending (infinite loop, too many calcultion???) Can someone suggest a better coding practise to get a better result. Code is not tidy as it has been copy and pasted from different places and

I have noticed that there is an assumption that Expert Advisers accept their inputs as if they are meant for 4decimal place brokers. There also seems to be the assumption that programmers should assume Users will assume that the inputs like Take

I am trying to finish an EA that watches manually placed trades with enough protection built in to prevent stupid errors on use. Got to the deveopment area of protecting against use of Period Change the F7 key and schedualed computer restarts. So no

Testing Code and found OrderSelect(Ticket,SELECT_BY_TICKET,MODE_TRADES) does not change after selected ticket is closed. Anyone know the reason? extern int Ticket= 0 ; //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| expert

Life gets a LOT more interesting when you start saving values to a file. 1) take care of EA working on more than one chart. 2)File maintenance. In issue one - New file for each new ticket identified by ticket number or Maintan one file with each line

I believe I have seen this request a few times so with my best programmers hat on I have written the following, yet to test it on demo account criticisms please Note it was written for clarity not efficiency - I'll screem if you also ask for it to

Just checking. A script file is a script file because it is stored in the scripts folder? True or False Is the same true of a indicator? True or False or Defined by its #property definition. Script files dont accept extern values? True or False or

What do I need to delete or reset to get the current build of metatrader to save all it current display settings so that when I close and open MT4 I still see all the toolbars and navigator windows setting I had when I closed MT4

I have been reading through some code in the codebase and came across //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ extern bool EachTickMode = False; int

How can I turn this simple EA into an indicator - results either in main window or sub window. //+------------------------------------------------------------------+

I just tried to place a trade and found it refused because MT4 was doing a background update without letting me know it was happening. How did I find out? I found the following lines:- 17:31:29 **** - MetaTrader 4.00 build 402 started (FXDD) 17:31:32

Does the Take profit of a BUY close on the Bid or the Ask and ther reverse Does the Take profit of a SELL close on which? Sometimes I just can't think properly - this one of those moments

If you declare an array after extern and before start() with a cell limit of 5 like int Array[5] ; and then use ++ on them the last Array Cell [5] does not update! To find this I wrote something like the following int Array[ 5 ] ; Start() static int

I notice that FXJE are promoting thier brokerage - My experience of them is BAD BAD BAD, the offers they make don't last long and by the time you have signed up the seeming good deal has gone. Just my experience of them

does anyone know the order in which the parameters count in the optimisation process ? here are some results I get and they seem to be counting backwards. 1 38.46 72 1.18 0.53 188.35 17.90% SLFirst=2680 SLMove=160 EntryLevel=1 2 81.09 99 1.46 0.82

Will old EA's written for MT4 be fully compatable with MT5

The usual sales pitch and it wont be arount long blag. One thing did appear though and that was that if the EA did not work in MetaTrader 5 they promised to update it. So thought I would ask the question, will MT5 be guaranteed backward compatable or

Wrote this EA as learning exercise - would need refining in the file already open and file alrady exists error code department but for now serves a simple and hopfully useful purpose. Perhaps if a Moderator thinks it worthy of being added to the code
