Hi, I'm using  CChartObjectFiboTimes and assigning custom percentage levels. I would like to draw some boxes between the levels (as a coloured background) but don't know the bar times of each of the vertical levels drawn

Hi, I have ported an indicator that I wrote over from MT4 to MT5. There was very little that needed changing, just a few MT4 functions that weren't available in MT5 need replacing with their MT5 counterparts. After a period of inactivity, my Windows

Hi, Is it possible to get the current GMT value of New York using MQL4? I am based in UK and right now, NY is GMT-4. However, depending on the time of year, it is GMT-5. Obviously, I know this but, does MQL4 provide some kind of capability to

Hi, I am developing an indicator that I have adjusted to run as an EA. The reason for this is that I find that an EA works much more reliably in the debugger than an indicator. The screenshot below is the result when running in the indicator - I am

Hi there, I am trying to write an indicator to work on Fibs on a chart. To debug this, I created debug.tpl and when I run the indicator in the Debugger, the correct template loads. The debug.tpl has as Fib and some MAs. When I step through the code

Hi there, Some very simple code below to illustrate a problem I'm having. I have a very simple class with a copy constructor. The sample below creates a new object and then tries to make a copy of that object via the copy constructor whereupon I get

Hi, I have a set of charts that had evolved over time with different indicator settings. However, the template files I had originally created for these charts have not been updated recently and do not reflect the latest chart configurations in the

Hi, Whilst considering a shift from MT4 to MT5, there have been a few issues with the standard MT5 ZigZag code. The images below show a ZZ set at 12,5,3. Notice how the white ZZ highs and lows in no way match the underlying price bars. When the chart

Hi all, I have developed a stochastic indicator that has an UpdateBuffer function that receives parameters that allows it to update the Signal and Main buffers with appropriate values. On GU/M5, rates_total is set to 100,731 of which the first 731

Hi, A number of my "paid for" indicators have stopped working because of the latest Windows 10 Update(s) (see attached). If I re-install them, I'll lose a licence count. Is this correct? How can I avoid this? I tried to post a message to the service

Hello, I am trying to trap the left and right Square Brackets "[" "]" and the left and right Curly Braces "{" "}". On my keyboard, the curly braces are generated by the Shift+[ and Shift+]. So, two keys on the keyboard should provide the 4 values I

Hello, I want to take the value of the current _Symbol and convert it to a numeric representation that can be stored as a double in a named global variable. So, a kind of 1-way encryption process that outputs as a double? Is there a way to do this in

Hi, I want to reference Bill Williams' Fractal indicator using iCustom. Here is how I am trying to do this:- double iCustomFractal( int buffer, int shift= 0 )   {    return iCustom ( NULL

Hi, I have a requirement to automate trades based on signals from an indicator that I have developed. I haven't previously coded an EA to do this. In the past, when I have looked at posts in this forum, the task of correctly handling/processing

Hello, I am trying to come up with a robust solution to position text objects above/below price. Obviously, I have my price bar's high and low values but, I want to be able to have a high and low "offset" so that a user defined value can be provided

long searchHandle= FileFindFirst (_subFolder+ "\\*" ,fileFirst); Hi, The above code is occasionally returning a large negative number like -1905372416. This is fooling my code that tests as follows:- if (searchHandle!= INVALID_HANDLE ) As

Hello, Please see below for a sample of the code called:- double CTdiUtils::_volHigh( int shift, bool reset= false , bool force= false )   {    double volHigh= NULL ;    if (_volHighValue== NULL || force || reset)

Hi, I am trying to understand the risk/reward ratio over a series of trades. To keep things simple, using my custom indicator , I might get 50 signals/trades and each trade uses a stop loss of 10 pips.  25 of the trades make some kind of pip

Hi, I posted a similar topic yesterday and actioned a suggestion from Nicholi. However, when debugging again today, I got numerous instances of the "delete invalid pointer " message in the Experts tab, after the debugger inadvertently failed to stop

Hi, I've noticed that when debugging an indicator in MT4, I'm seeing a series of "delete invalid pointer " messages in the terminal's expert tab. In the indicator, every new object that I create is specifically deleted using "delete objName", prior
