I'm trying to draw a box at the same time every day. The start and end of the box will be at the same time but the top and bottom of the box will be of the highest high and lowest low during that time period, respectively. I'm still relatively new to

I wanted to draw a box into the space that is farther into the future than the current candle with a script but it doesn't appear to be possible. I have a script to enter into a position and it calculates my entry, stop, target, and position size

I'm not sure how much sense that makes. I was under the impression that a boolean variable will hold its value until it is changed but that it wouldn't change automatically. Is this true? If when a specific criteria is met and a bool becomes TRUE

I'm frustrated because someone answered this for me but I can't find it in all my old posts and comments. I'm struggling to figure out how to run a segment of code only once, particularly when drawing an object. For example, if I create a bool

Everybody learns differently. I have access to YouTube and these forums and I even have the "Expert Advisor Programming for MT4" book that I refer to. It seems like nonsense that I would still struggle to understand such a basic concept. I know that

I've been struggling to find out how to find the value of the upper/lower lines of the standard deviation channel at a given time so that I can code a break above/below the channel. I found the following code on the forum and I believe someone is

Sorry. I'm not sure how to articulate this. Can I add a number to a variable? So if I have a variable named double Wave1. How could I add a number to that to rename and create a new variable named double wave2

Is it possible to have an EA running that is told to enter a trade if price crosses the trendline named Alpha, for example then manually draw in a trendline later and simply name it Alpha? Could I potentially write the EA so that it enters the trade

Really new to coding. MQL4 is the only thing I'm learning. Someone wrote me a code so that I could play with and experiment with some ideas I have. They did the hard stuff and created variables that represented the swing highs and swing lows on the

I'm new to programming.  MQL4 is my first coding language (and only for that matter).  I'm trying to write a basic code that sends an alert when either a shooting star or a hammer is formed.  I have two questions after putting this

I'm not sure whether it's ok to post this here. I couldn't find anything in the freelance area that covered this specifically. I'm looking for a casual tutor of MQL4 paid by the hour/session and scheduled as needed. I'm interested in reaching out

I was under the impression that I could create a variable from inside a for loop and then use that variable outside the loop. That can't be done, can it? I'm simply trying check every candle for certain conditions to be met and create a variable (or

I'd like to add to the indexes of an array with a loop.  I'm new to coding (not just mql4) so I'm not sure this is the best way to do this at all.  What my goal is, is to use an array to look up a candle number.  I'm counting every

I'm just learning to code.  I'm just trying to write a script right now.  I want to draw a blue vertical line whenever the MACD line crosses up over the signal line and draw a red vertical line when it crosses down.  It seemed to work

I know the documents have everything I need to know.  I even have the "Expert Advisor Programming for MetaTrader 4" book.  The problem for me is just that I have no programming experience before this.  So, I can manage with these

First off, I'm really new to coding so I apologize if my code is messy and inefficient.  That said, my long-term goal is to create an EA that will identify and eventually trade divergence.  So, my only goal right now is just to create a

The first time I couldn't find my post I assumed I posted it wrong.  But after a second attempt and not finding it again I think it's been taken down.  I breezed through the rules but I didn't see anything that suggested I was violating

I'm wondering how I would note a place in time once discovered through a loop. I don't have any code prepared but my intention is to run a FOR loop looking for the place where the MACD value is higher than the current value. Doing that much I
