Added topic how to read changing level-lines of an indicator - possible?
Hi, I have an indicator in its own separate window, which sets two level-lines (like rsi over bought and oversold, but these you set yourself) that are changing over the time. Is there a way to get the values of these lines. I only know

Added topic How to 'flash' the log?
Hi, I do some ' backtests ' just with the bars of the current chart. Now it happens that I print more lines than the expert tab shows - ok. But the logfile isn't flushed so a lot of lines (bytes) are still kept in the memory of mt4 until I close mt4

Added topic the point within var.names
Hi, I think I have read that in a future-version of mql4 (to narrow mql4 and mql5, could have been https://forum.mql4.com/56885) that in mql4 var.-names with a point like      double ma.value = iMa(..); will not be accepted any

Added topic would that work: Time[-1] or s.th simular?
Hi, it works fine in the Stretagy-Tester if I enter Objects placed in the 'future' of the modelled time. But would that work on the real market chart as well:    ObjectCreate (id, OBJ_TREND , 0 , iTime(Symbol(),PERIOD_M30,0) - 1 , BuLim

Added topic FileOpen in include files?
Hi, the 'how-to' of file open tells me: ... Handles of files opened in the same module cannot be passed to other modules (libraries) I do not exactly know what and how module is meant. I want to open a file in an include, setTrds.mqh: int iTr[ 10 ][

Added topic Live-Time of an iCustom-indicator?
Hi, the basic question is how long does an indicator live with all its arrays and buffers and is it updated by each tick when called only once? My objective: I want to get a long-term average and want to 'offer' this value other EA by using

Added topic Symbol() not working in deinit() - can that be?
Hi, it took me hours today but as long as I had Symbol() in the deinit() function (in order to delete a market specific file) my terminal (build 509) seems to run into an endless loop with max cpu-time consuming - anybody who can confirm? As soon as

Added topic start a function when the market is closed?
Hi, the idea: start a function on Saturday or Sunday when the market is closed that e.g. investigates the performance of a (each single) system or of all together in order to e.g. change the parameter that e.g. calculates the lotsizes for the next

Added topic SetIndexEmptyValue(0,0.0); - am I right: it's needed only once?
Hi, it's just a request for a confirmation. if I write in my indicator only once in the init() function: SetIndexBuffer(0,buffer0); SetIndexEmptyValue( 0 , 0.0 ); then at every new bar the buffer0[0] ist set to 0.0 automatically and NOT to

Added topic check whether an indicator is called by iCustom(..) or is 'live' on a chart?
Hi, can an indicator check or find out whether it is called by iCustom(..) (to speed up: suppress CreatObject(), Print(..)...) or it is installed on a 'live-chart'? Thanks, Gooly

Hi, my indicator show a strange behaviour as the values of the Data-Window and the curves that are shown are not what it has calculated?? The structure of my indicator is as follows: double indi[][ 20 ]; ... int start()  {

Added topic refurbished bars??
Hi, I re-wrote an indicator to make it faster. It calculates in principle EMA( EMA (Volume[i]) ) in two buffers of the Indicator and does s.th with it. So practically I do not need the intermediate EMAs to be stored and shown. Well instead of having

Added topic different back-test-results of TimeCurrent() and iTime() in EA and indicator???
Hi, someone else asked how does an indicator gets the correct time! Just try to create an indicator to show only the time. So this prints the correct open time of the bar during a back-test (e.g. 2011.01.03 07:00)

Added topic Different Backtest Results depending on visual or non-visula mode?
Hi I am backtesting my EA in 15min timeframe and I get different results just because I backtest once in visual mode and once in non visual modes? Everything(!) stays the same only the “Visual mode” of the Strategy Tester is either enabled or
