I have an EA from others, which copies, reads and writes csv file in MQL5/FILES folder under metatrader. It's too complicated, much over my coding knowledge but still I want to revise it a bit. So I did a simplified experiment and I found that, with

There's a given Moving Average indicator, it works in MT5. Now I'm trying to add a text object tagging the MA value of last bar. #property indicator_chart_window #property indicator_buffers 1 #property indicator_plots    1 #property

There's a given MACD indicator , which has 4 buffers and 2 plots ( ExtFastMaHandle and ExtSlowMaHandle don't draw). Now I'm adding another 2 lines (actually 1 histogram and 1 line) and 2 arrows, making it 8 buffers and 6 plots. The following is my

Just begin to learn mql5 , the following is a simple test, the data is there, why arrow just doesn't draw?  #property indicator_chart_window #property indicator_buffers 1 #property indicator_plots    1 #property indicator_type1

Just began to learn how to convert mql4 to mql5. I learned how to deal with close[] in OnCalculate(......const double &close[], ......), with "ArraySetAsSeries()". But in my own function "draw()", I also have to use close[], so I tried : void

I just wrote an indicator for a friend, which draws several TEXT objects near/at each Low[] of several bars, only on D1 chart. I also added a fixed "padding" to move those objects a tiny bit away from Low[] price. This indicator works fine for me

void OnChartEvent ( const int id,                    const long &lparam

Senario:  in the current currency pair, open multiple positions, then manually close them one by one. The following function recountorders() works fine and I can test with ArrayRange(sl,0) showing order counts of the current currecy pair

Please close this dumb question..... the last two lines, I should use poscount instead of i. I'm working on this code, using a CButton, my purpose: when new position (not including pending order) added to the current symbol, or stoploss changed in

I did some search work, and the following code works with CButton font type:    string FontType = "Calibri Bold" ;    alertbutton.Font(FontType); However, my effort to make it an enum list failed: enum fonts   {

Recently I'm excited to find some youtube tutorials about onchartevent and button and dialog,etc. in official library. I successfully wrote a code with button, as well as with button in a dialog.  But then when I tried to code a dropdown list

#property indicator_chart_window extern string a= "1111" ; string b; int init()   { //--- 3 lines ---    if (b== "" )       b=a;    Print (b); //-------------------    return ( 0

Hi all, A friend of mine asked me a question, I simplified it down to the following test code: extern int        TimeInterval= 900 ;     // xx minutes to send the e-mail int start()   {

Hi all, I still use mt4, and it does not fully support mq4 any more, though old ex4 file still works fine. Is there any tool to do the conversion for me? But I need the output WITH MQ4 EXTENSION

Hi, Today I accidentally find a code by @futurespec, which makes hand drawing a segment line on chart very easy. Thanks @futurespec! It's what I have been dreaming of, for a long time ! I spend a little time to transform this segment line indi into a

Hi all, It's been a long time, suddenly I find everything automatically turned into MQL5? The following code is a three MA indicator I've been using for a long time.( In MT5 first bar is 0? but this indicator still runs fine. MQL5 running in MT4 is

Hi, Static, global, which should I use? ---- I want that variable keeps its value if I change timeframe or if auto re-connection. This is for an INDICATOR. Could anybody please help
