This function will find the High or Low of some number of bars . I was pulling my hair out debugging this thing. The High part of the function worked great but the Low part of function always return 0. Then I realized that The variable barApex was

I'd like to learn more about open orders -- getting information and modifying. Moving the stop to breakeven should be a good project. I found plenty of discussion on the subject but no finished code illustrating the details of how it's really done

Who loves the the gray grid in the Strategy Tester ? Is there a way to have the Strategy Tester remember the Property selections? Every time I run the Strategy Tester I've got to turn off that gray grid -- drives me crazy

Here's a function that checks to see if there is an open order. I'm a rank beginner at coding in MT4 so I welcome your comments. But it does seem to work. bool NoOpenOrdersExist() //True when no open order, False when is open order {

Is it possible to draw something like a Moving Average line from an Expert Advisor like you can and Indicator? Or do I need to make an Indicator that uses the same logic as the EA so I can have a visual of what is going on? Is there a good way of
