Many times I would need a load/save feature to save some configuration for an object, after I create it. For example Fibonacci retracement values + color + style. Has this useful (for me) feature a chance to be a part of MT5 in the future

I created groups of objects (say 5 gann lines with different ratios). And I want to detect when user selects/deselects one of them, to select other 4 lines automatically.  Since there's only click object event, and I don't know what was the

Is it planned to add grouping of objects in MT5 someday? Besides grouping, In MT4 I used to draw some lines (gann angles) and overlap their center point, and then drag all of them around.  In MT5 this doesn't work anymore. I can drag only one

I don't know if it's my indicator or not, but the behavior is really strange, so I presume it's a bug . Here is the meaningful code: string TButtonLName, TButtonHName; TButtonLName = menuObjectName( "T" , "ButtonL" ); TButtonHName = menuObjectName(

Maybe I miss something in the settings on this forum, but, how can I receive emails when activity happens in forum threads I participate in? 

How can I get mouse coordinates under an object when I click on it? Is it possible for MT5 to generate 2 events when I click on an object? I mean,  CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_CLICK and CHARTEVENT_CLICK also? I tried almost every idea I had, but now

I know there's an event with object dragging, but how can I detect mouse drag? Is it possible at this point in mql5? And if yes, how can I achieve it?... I need some clues or an example... ---- Besides this, is it possible somehow to access the

Little improvement with inline help. ----  Phew times I had to write long horizontal parameter list for a function . And when cursor goes beyond column 150, there's trouble if you want inline help (Ctrl+Alt+Space). Because you cannot see it

With the last update (292 I guess), one of my functions stopped working. First the function: MqlRates getMqlRates( int index) {    MqlRates rates[ 1 ];    int r = CopyRates ( NULL , 0 ,index, 1 ,rates);      

MQL5 lists lots of warnings about (legal) type conversions. That's ok I guess... But... There are lots of them, and errors appear below them. So I have to scroll down to see any error every time I compile.  In fact, many times I wait, not

I don't know if this is a bug or not. I read that in case there must be a constant value.  I tried to define some constant int value, and put it into case statement like this: const int MENU_SHOW 1 ; //... switch (menu_action) { //... case

What I'm trying to achieve is this: 1. The user creates a trendline in the client. 2. I want to duplicate this trendline with its settings. 3. Then modify the coordinates of new trendlines to fit some idea.   So is it possible to create an

Hello again,  Wouldn't be useful (and logical) to keep gann line's settings intact when moving it around?  When price scale modifies, trend lines and gann lines modify themselves. They modify their settings because ..... I really don't know

Hello again,  Right now I am confused a little with which objects have anchor and which don't. Anyway, since I've entered in new stuff of MQL5, coming from MQL4, I am stumbling continuously regarding properties of different objects. Is there a

Is it possible to add properties of indicator link when right clicking everywhere in indicator's window? It's so tiring to always take time to click exactly on indicator's lines, because otherwise, there's no link to properties.    There

I use fibonacci retracement object to redefine percentages, and I need 11 to 14 levels, but there are only 9 available.  Can we have more of these levels?  If not, what can I do to put 3 or 4 more levels? Thank you 

After creating a line, when I move it around the chart, especially near bottoms and tops, the line gets distorted. The angle of the line gets changed, as if the line tries to cling to that bottom / top. I tried to understand why this is happening

I have a DLL which I use in MT4, but it doesn't seem to work in MT5. All functions are in this form: _nameOfFunction@24 instead of 24, some functions there are with @40,@4 etc... from what I saw, these are under the term of "decorated names" MT4

Creating a new custom indicator and having this switch statement: switch (rates_total) {    case 1 :          int r = 5 ;          if (r==rates_total) printf (

I made an mqh because of some holes in MQL5 and I wanted to publish it. It's commented so it wouldn't be much of a problem to understand the functions. Mqh file must be in the same directory with your indicator. Use:  #include "utils.mqh"
