Question about Logical Operation && without an if comparison ?

I know the reference and book does not mention this but curious how it works for assignment instead of comparison. Can this even be done as intended ? For example: extern bool chart_period=true; // extern bool macdm1=false; extern bool macdm5=false; extern bool macdm15=false; extern bool

Does the compound operator require brackets ?

Curious if these the same ? I assume the compound operators need to be in brackets, but I've seen code written this way and wondered why ? Please confirm thanks if (A_high()) ObjectSet( "B6" , OBJPROP_BGCOLOR , clrRed ); else { ObjectSet( "B6" , OBJPROP_BGCOLOR , clrBlack );

need example / advise how method for makeing multiple selections or multiple properties.

I'm asking generically for concept ideas because I don't really understand where to start. I'm trying to figure out how to toggle multiple indicators for EA backtesting so that I don't have to change each comparison line in the the code everytime. I was thinking perhaps bool properties for

Why undeclared identifier in void function for Print function ?

Hi, I get undeclared indentifier for A when printing from void type. void down_count() { for ( int i= 0 ; i < 50 ; i++) { double histo = iCustom ( NULL , 0 , "MACD True" , 2 ,i); double val1 = iFractals ( NULL , 0 , MODE_UPPER, i); if (histo < 0 && val1 != 0 )

Why is EA testing on Live Account vs Demo account very slow in the tester compared to demo account

Oanda Live, and Oanda Demo platforms. I used the tester on both and Live "visible charts" I see the chart moving slow even with the slider all the way full speed. On Demo it's as expected and very fast as I am use to. Is there some difference for Live vs Demo testing in the strategy tester

Why multiple buys and close at stops from the tester ?

I'll keep working on finding out why this happens, and post some code tomorrow but the code is long so I wanted to ask generically with this pic. Tester places multiple orders in a row, then closes at stops multiple times in a row. Stops were not hit as shown in the tester. I know how to limit

Can I change individual candle colors from the EA ?

Can the individual candle colors be changed or only for the entire chart ? My attempt here: void bullish_engulfing_candle() { for ( int i= 1 ; i<=50 ; i++) { if (Close[i+ 1 ] >= Open[i+ 1 ] && Close[i] < Open[i] && Close[i+ 1 ]-Open[i+ 1 ] < Open[i]-Close[i]) ChartSetInteger (

How to toggle/blinking Text Colors

How to toggle or make a blinking Object or to oscillate colors or something ? Is this possible or does the code just read so fast that it wouldn't be noticed ? I can see doing a counter of some type but I don't want to hold up reading of the rest of the code either. Is there such a thing ? Or has

Can an indicator for a period be shown on any chart period ?

Can an indicator such as H4 or D1 be shown on a different time such as M15 or M5 ? Since the indicators properties do not have any options for this I assume "no". I figured I would ask about this before starting to make this code. Thanks
