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

Hi, since this morning I get on every (re-) load of any web-page a kling - while I defined to be noticed only on special occasions (see my notification tab): ‌ ‌For quite some time I haven't got any of these "klings". It seems that they all have been

Be aware that the a.m. editor seem to have problems with file names like test_v0.1.mq4. Sad to say, but I would not recommend anybody to update :( I created a new file test_Names_v0.1 that seems to be ok. Then I saved it as test_Names_v0.2 - in the

Hi, I need the quotes of the m1 bars together with the quotes of the bars of the current chart to go back for "LookBackBars" (if possible) of the actual timeframe Mt4 now offers 'me' for this 3 'data-streams': time[] (or Time[]) from Bars-1 to 0

Please can s.o. check? I loaded the simple ATR.mq4 in my mt4.editor (mt4 b 1045 editor: b 1526). As the debugger button is grey I pretend to save it under a different name but used the same name and confirmed overwriting the original file. Now if I

Hi, thinking about being forced to switch from MQL4 to MQL5 I would like if someone can confirm this. In MQL4: int OnCalculate ( const int rates_total, // oldest: time[rates_total-1] .. most recent: time[0]

Hi, Is it correct that live the time of MqlTick does not show fractals - the last one from Friday doesn't show any? Fractals would mean that each new tick would have a different timestamp (fractal) than the previous one, while otherwise several ticks

Hi, Am I correct, that there is no function or system-variable that tells a class whether it is called by an indicator, expert or a script

Is there a tricky way for a class to get the program-name which is calling/using/instantiating this class. If I use __FILE__ I get the filename of the class - which is useful too of course - but not the the name of the running EA or indicator or

Hi, due to a paper linked here by Fernando (thanks!) I tried to use this by indicators. First I wanted to compare it to the original - to check whether it is correct or weird. First I compare the 'selfmade' BB (Tomato, sma dotted) against the

Hi, Yesterday I asked Metaquotes to send me my money via Paypal. After I gave this order Metaquotes writes: "Paypal doesn't answer" and therefore my money 1) hasn't been sent to Paypal and 2) is blocked on Metaquotes side as they are still waiting

Hi, I just realized in MQL4 iADX is defined as: double    iADX (    string        symbol,         // symbol    int

Hi, Is it true, that mt4-Comment() cannot show the Wingdings (while it show e.g. the greak letters like: α,β,ø,µ while others like δ ε appear as d e) on the chart in an easy way like: string OK   = WingdingToString( 252 )

Hi, is there an equivalent for Open[], High[], .. Volume[] of MQL4 in MQL5? Actually I am using Volume[i] in OnInit for a volume-indicator in a separate chart-window to set the max. and min. int OnInit () {    ...    while

Is it true that I cannot define e.g. for Comment(..) leading zeros  before the decimal point. As I want to show percent-numbers which range from 1.1% to 999.9% and I want to be able to see mat the chart (with Comment(..)) 001.1% .. 009.9 %

Hi, I am building a colour scheme for me and I was using this to get the Hex-code of e.g. yellow 0xFFFF00: But if I use this in mql4 I get clrAqua (light blue): Comment ( "Clr-Schemes: " + ColorToString ( 0xFFFF00 , true )+ "\n" ) Of course the
