Incorporating a freeware indicator

I have a freeware indicator that paints really useful support and resistance levels on a chart that I want to incorporate into an EA. The problem is that I don't have the source code so I can't use iCustom because I don't know which buffers it uses to paint the lines. I did try to interrogate the

ChartXYToTimePrice returning incorrect time

Hello everyone, I am having issues with the function ChartXYToTimePrice. It is returning the correct price, but it always returns the incorrect time. I have written a script that creates a little red dot at the side of the chart that you move onto the chart and click a button. Once you click a

iCustom is making me sad

Hi guys, I'm having issues with the iCustom command. Basically it's working sometimes and not others, which I find a little bizarre. Here is my code. bool Scan_Super_Trend() { ArrayResize (Value1, 7 , 7 ); ArrayResize (Value2, 7 , 7 ); ArrayResize (SuperTrend, 7 , 7 ); ArrayResize

Security of Indicators from Unknown Sources

Hi, So I'm using indicators from an unknown source in my expert advisors, and I wanted to know if there was any chance that they could be running any malicious code that could harm my computer?

Trade/Range Identification

So I can see what the market is doing by looking at it and I know whether to favour buy or sell signals in terms of entering a trade. Trouble is that my EA code doesn't have eyes and so I need it to be able to figure that out in a different way. What indicators and/or techniques do people use to

Strategy Tester

Hi guys and girls, So I've heard that the strategy tester in MT4 is a little bit wholly inaccurate. Does anyone have any tips on how to make it less so? For instance commands to avoid and what commands to use instead. I've been doing forward testing using multiple accounts and different parameters
