In the following code, all the symbols appear on the chart as green/buy. Is there any reason why it doesn't check the 2nd part of the else if statement? if (             (Bid >

Is there a way to paint candles in an indicator instead of just straight lines so we could get high, low, open, closes of the indicator value

This function https://docs.mql4.com/indicators/iStdDevOnArray iStdDevOnArray has a whole load of functions to do with moving averages? Isn;t a standard deviation just a simple calculation of the data in the array like in Excel

What is the best way to work out the correlation between 2 different instrument in MQL4? Should I load the data into an array and then draw a chart from that? In Excel, it is easy to do this with some functions but I'm not sure if MQL4 has them I

I can't think why this code would work on JPY pairs but not on the 5 decimal place pairs. Any ideas? The indicator "testwindow" works on both so why doesn't iCustom pick up the value

I have this for the True Strength index: Parameters Raw (Raw = 25 ) Smooth (Smooth = 13 ) Indicator programming NetChg = MOMENTUM [ 1 ] Value1 = EXPONENTIALAVERAGE [Smooth]( EXPONENTIALAVERAGE [Raw](NetChg)) Value2 = EXPONENTIALAVERAGE [Smooth](

I have a problem with the times on this chart. It works with the one hour chart highlighting a box for the daily range but on the Daily chart, I am trying to highlight a box for the last week and it doesn't highlight the correct number of days

I have sme code that draws a rectangle for the current day. How can I loop the code so that it draws a rectangle for every day on the chart? lprice is calculated by doing this: double lprice=iHigh(Symbol(),period_no,1)-iATR(Symbol(),period_no,14,0);

I would like to start this rectangle from midnight, how can I specify the time? ObjectCreate("box", OBJ_RECTANGLE ,0,Time[24],hprice,Time[0],lprice);

I have an MA cross indicator with buffers to show MA crosses. How can I print a label with the price it crossed at just above the crossing area? Is it a case of adding a 3rd buffer? The current buffers use symbols so I am not show how to add a label

This code works for FX symbols but not index symbols like the UK100. Any ideas what is wrong? int start()   {    if ( Period () == PERIOD_H1 ) {period_no = 1440 ;}    double hprice= iLow ( Symbol (),period_no, 0 )+ iATR

I need an alert for HA colour change but it should not be checking the current candle so I changed the code and the alert works but it is not paintiung the current HA candle. Any ideas on what to change? Maybe I need an indicator for the candles and

The alert is supposed to wait for the candle to close and then compare the candle to the previous one to see if the colour has changed. However, it is alerting on the current candle open. ANy ideas what to change? while (pos >= 0 )

What is the best way to change this code so that the alert only happens at the end of the candle once we know for sure whether it is going to be green or a red candle? //+------------------------------------------------------------------+

Is there a way to work out the most common max reading pf the indicator? Alternatively, how can I get a mving average top show on this indicator window? ...or last option a bollinger band around the indicator

The arrows here are only shown in one direction. Any ideas where the error is? //+------------------------------------------------------------------+

Is there a way to change the chart background color depending on a variable in MQL4

I am trying to create a rectangle as a sort of meter that displays how much of the daily range the pair has moved. For example, if the pair has moved 75 pips today out of its daily 14 ATR of 100, then the rectangle would be 75% coloured in. Any ideas
