Hi, if you want to apply the principle of a thermostat, (switch on the heat if the temperature drops below a low level, switch off if temperature goes above a high level) -it's called hysteresis- to avoid switching on and off multiple times in a row

Simple math question: In a plane there is a curve: y = (100-x)/x and an arbitrarily chosen point, let's say (50,50) How would you calculate (in mql4 or not) the -shortest- distance from that point to the curve? You'd have to use orthogonal projection

Let's say you want to know how responsive your oscillator is to cyclic market movement, wouldn't it be great if some standard data set existed that consists of two parts: first a cyclic part (e.g. a sine wave) with a constant dominant cycle length

So I code a new custom indicator that plots the same indicator on different timeframes in 1 single seperate window. No big deal, right. But then I start to think about it and there is something wrong (either with my code or with the function

Hi, I have an indicator that I want to turn into a new custom indicator: this new custom indicator should have a value of +1 when the value of the indicator in the current bar is higher than the value of the indicator in the previous bar, and -1 vice

Hi, I have an indicator called NonLagMA_v3.mq4 and I want to reference to it from another indicator. the standard syntax seems to be: //iCustom(NULL, 0, "SampleInd",13,1,0) or

Hi, what can you do against repainting of indicators? When you do a visual mode backtest of an empty EA and you drop the indicator on the chart, you really see how it performs (repainting or not), opposed to simply putting it on a live chart (too

Hi, sorry for the stupid question, but pls help me out here: If you have any indicator that consists of 1 line in the chart window, and you want to add standard deviation bands to that line, like Bollinger bands. How do you do this: let's say your

Let's say you have finally, after x years, found a winning combination of indicators that works on all timeframes and financial instruments (fx, futures, commodities, indices,...). You have done backtests on multiple timeframes and they all have an

Is there a template available for if you want to take the information from the chart, calculcate it in a Com component and chart the output back on the same chart? thx

I have a script, when put on a 1-minute chart, that makes a new, updated, offline chart with a new candle every n ticks. Now the problem is that sometimes, the MT4 terminal (on live feeds and on demo), brings new ticks with a volume increase of more

Hi, How do you make an oscillator that simply plots the difference between a moving average of a certain period and the price? The code should be easy to write but.. this is not it. What am I doing wrong here

Hi, I am also one of the many people who are looking for a script to export indicator values to a .csv file. This is one of the things that should be standard in MT4. I'm convinced that the requirement to be able to program to really be able to use

Hi, I'm trying to use an EA on offline chart (for example such as created by period_converter). They don't receive ticks which needs to use while() loop inside. However, after few minutes the offline charts shows "Waiting for update" and is

Has anyone ever tried to put data from Esignal into MT4? Working with csv files seems the most obvious way, and the periodconverter which comes with MT4 ought to be the right tool for the job, but has anyone ever done it

Imagine you put two seperate (custom) indicators in the same seperate chart window on a chart in your terminal. They seem to correspond, cross over or whatever: they do have approximately the same values if you look at the graph, but when you place
