This I read in the reference: string  FileReadString(    int  file_handle,     // File handle    int  length=-1        // Length of the

I found this function: ChartOpen(..): Opens a new chart with the specified symbol and period. Can I attach an EA at this new Chart by a function following ChartOpen()? Gooly

Hi I just started in debug mode in a script just this: long     Ch01 = ChartFirst (),         ChMe = ChartID (); long    ChNx = ChartNext (ChMe); and get: Ch01: 130395223288765087

The mt4 just updated to b617 from b616. Does anybody know where (Link) I can find what has changed from built to build

HI, How can I find out (at init() e.g.) that trade is allowed (terminal-options are set) even if the server is busy (or market closed ?)? IsTradeAllowed (); Returns true if the Expert Advisor is allowed to trade and trading context is not busy

I just stumbled over these two entries in the MQL4 Reference: IsOptimization(): Returns true if Expert Advisor runs in the Strategy Tester optimization mode, otherwise returns false. and IS_PROFILE_MODE: Flag that a mql4-program operates in profiling

Due to my suspicion that the genetic optimization uses the wrong side of the list of the values which was returned by OnTester() I tried to change the sign of the results: void MyTester(){         maxBalance =

Currently I am running two optimizations (status: 3009/10 496 (888 624)) with the use of OnTester(). The Reference writes: In the genetic optimization descending sorting is applied to results within one generation. I.e. from the point of view of the

Hi, On my VPS I installed the Windows updates and after re-start (only) 1 terminal (out of 6) was NOT started by my script. 1) I went into the folder and tried to start it my self but nothing ?? 2) I tried to start it from console (in its folder)

Hi, If I search (Ctrl-f) a string and cklick again and again Find-Next it could happen that the code is moved to the side to show the string in the editor window - some what in the middle (right-left). If now after Find-Next the string is again at

Hi, in the new reference I find only 2 errors if an OrderSend(..) failed: 4067   ERR_TRADE_ERROR   Internal trade error 4109   ERR_TRADE_NOT_ALLOWED  Trade is not allowed. Enable checkbox "Allow live trading"

I define a struct: struct TradeSet {          double IniTgt, IniStp, PTS, PIP;          string Symb, Descr, Full;          int

In the reference of MQL4 I find the basic DataTypes and I can define array of theses types but a reference or pointers to structs is not mentioned there. Can I define an array of references to e.g. struckts and how should I do this? An array of

If I select an order by if( OrderSelect ( 12470 , SELECT_BY_TICKET ) ) do I get a true even if this order of the Ticket is already closed and the order is already in the HistoryPool? Gooly

1) actually I am optimizing on b614 and I found a bit a weird thing. The Optimzation-Results-Tab shows the 'old' columns: Pass, Profit, ..., Drawdown $, Drawdown %, Param.-1, Param.-2, ... But if I (mouse-menue) copy-all (Alt-A) and paste it into my

Again more problems :( This sweet little snippet of code would kill my complete existence: void OnTick ()   { //---          static bool isSell = false ;

Hi again, You really spent thousands of my day today!! I am logged in at MetaQuotes-New MT4 Test - MetaQuotes Software Corp. to backtest with tickdata (Tickstroy-Lite) not to get confused with the different fxt- and history files. Up to yesterday

Hi I just saw this: 2014.03 . 05 10 : 48 : 42.351 xN GBPUSD,M1: Invalid license in the expert tab. xN is running in VisualMode in the start-Tester?? Login-Account = Metaquotes, mt4 = b610? Gooly

I am using TickStory Lite to create fxt File and if a backtest is started I get this with the red arror shield: 2014.03 . 05 10 : 12 : 11.564 TestGenerator: actual tick file "..\Documents\MT4\mt2\tester\history\GBPUSD1_0.fxt" found Has this visually

To AVOID being asked for the admin.-pwd I installed as user mt4 (b610) in my own folders: .. Documets\mt4\mt1\.. Now if I want to start it ("/portable"-mode) I am again and again asked for the admin.-pwd. The details tell me the
