In the history data of m1 I have a hole - ok, can happen. E.g. if I want to 'start to feed' as of a date that is within that data hole I get the last existing m1-bar so to say the left end of the hole: datetime tA[], t0 = TimeCurrent () - 5040000 ;

I created an OOP-base for Indicators and EA, so that I don't have to use iCustom! What you see is a very simple Mom: Buff2[b+1] = close[b+1] - close[b+1+PER]; Buff1 receives the values that are calculated by the OOP-base. As you can see, the

The situation: an EA has opened two position with aTckt and bTckt and manages them (controlled Comment()). Now I close manually one of them, e.g. aTckt. But the following code neither set _LastError nor does OrderSelect() return false so that n is

Hi is there another way than to open a file to read, read it totally, close it, do some changes e.g. actualize the last access date of a line  and then reopen it again to write and rewrite it completely and close it. I open this file

Hi, does anybody know what error number the mt4-server returns if an order already has been closed and an EA tries to close 'the ticket' as well? MT5 does have: 10036 TRADE_RETCODE_POSITION_CLOSED The position with the given POSITION_IDENTIFIER has

Hi, I realized a nasty error in mt4: string strEmpty, strCompare = "lkjhsadslkjh" ; if ( StringFind (strEmpty, strCompare) < 0 ) strEmpty = strEmpty + ";" + strCompare; As strrEmpty is empty (not initialized) mt4 throws the error 4052 (=

This little script: void OnStart ()   { //---    int waitMinutes = 60 ,        waitSec     = waitMinutes* 60 ,       

Hi I (Win7, 64, mt4, b1090) have an indicator CaVol with about 10 Parameter of which only the first two matters (the rest is for the presentation). This indicator has 34 puffer. Now I wrote a second indicator CallingCaVol() that calls the first one -

Hi, I am still using mt4 and I tried to use TerminalInfoInteger (TERMINAL_PING_LAST) to detect net failures. Sometimes it works: But sometimes it doesn't! :( Obviously the ping is executed in another thread than eas and indis (at east in mt4) it

Hi does anybody know how often mt4 makes a ping to its server? And is there a way to force the terminal to make another ping

Hi, I (mt4 b1065) created 10 little rectangles at the lower right corner and and changed their size acc. to the image  BUT, they do not appear as objects in the object-window (ctrl-B)? Anybody else with this experience? Beside that I cannot

Hi, has anybody recognized this 'feature' as well - may as well in mt5 too? Developing a multi-symbol-system I do:        ResetLastError ();        int cop1= CopyRates (Sym, PERIOD_M1 , 0

Well this is my situation: I speak about two include files: Errors.mqh and CmyClass.mqh both in ..\MQL4\Include\ which I want to compile individually to detect 'grammatical' errors! I created a class CmyClass.mqh which contains the class method: bool

I don't like individual configuration for general problems :( The JPY has a structure of 123.456 if you multiply it wit the lot size 100,000$ you'll get a ridiculous high number. You have to divide the JPY-price by 1000 to be able to use it in

Hi, I have written a three nested classes: a manager, the quotes class (as many instances as symbols required) the worker(s) (calculating hat is required) Now this triumvirate is called either by an indicator and alternatively by a script (mainly for

Hi, I am baffled. I was looking for a way to get the broker's commission of a symbol without trading it. For an open or closed position I do have OrderCommission(). (But why the hell should I go through the whole history with the chance to miss a

Hi, I just realised a new feature I would have never expected: The EURGBP position is shown on the EURCHF chart. But now - after a couple of minutes - its gone and can only be seen on EURGBP. Could be an interesting idea: all position on one chart

I wanted the EA to coordinate file accesses using GetTickCount(). So I was testing what it can do and got this: It should sleep for 7 mSec but it never sleeps. Here is my EA, where am I mistaken??  Or is this just the reason why the terminals

Hi, I am trying to get the list of files in a nonMT4-Folder for which I need Windows' kernel32.dll functions . Well there is an old thread to start: https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/103578 and https://www.mql5.com/de/articles/1543 for pre b600+ I just
