Is there any chance that Pips could be displayed in the Trade and the History screens? We need the money as well of course but in order to evaluate how one is doing, the whole world talks Pips, not money. Perhaps it would be good to have the option

In the terminal screen, under the tab "Trade", all the current trades are listed, and if we right click we can elect to display each line as points. However, the sum at the bottom is meaningless to me. I know that is my problem as I can't yet get to

I have a problem. My MT4 keeps crashing. I am hoping someone can help as I am pulling my hair out. I have attached the dump below. 1. It does it on my PC at home, and my PC at work. 2. Both my PC at home and PC at work are Windows 7. I have tried it

In MT4 this worked OK: #import "shell32.dll" int ShellExecuteA(int hWnd,int lpVerb,string lpFile,string lpParameters,int lpDirectory,int nCmdShow); #import void OnTick() {  ShellExecuteA (0,0,"Notepad.exe","",0,SW_SHOW); } When debugging it goes

In MT4 we had a button that ran or stopped all the EA's globally. This was great for when you had a programming error and wanted to stop alerts. It seems that the button in MT5 just enables or disables Auto Trading. When you click it, although the EA

I've just upgraded to 256 and when it restarted It asked me for log in details. None of my EAs or Templates are there. What's happened and how can I recover it? I'm using Windows 7 if that helps. I'm sure the program is still confused as to whether

I've just gone to Windows 7, so I don't know if this has anything to do with it. This was working Ok under XP, so I am suspicious. I have a panel containing a forex pair and I add various indicators and save the template. I can then go to my other

In the terminal window, navigator, when I click on Expert Advisors, I see nothing. I right click and select 'Create'. I create a simple one, and compile it and it gets written to C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 5\MQL5\Experts\. However, I still don't see

I have an EA that calculates ADX based on PERIOD_M30. If certain things fall into line, then it Alerts me. Once an alert has been sent, I set a boolean called 'Notify' to true, so that I only get one alert. When things fall out of range again, then I

Consider the following: double  Main_0; string Trend; ..(bit of calculation here) if (Trend="UP" && Main_0 >40 ) { Do something } I don't see why I should get "implicit conversion from number to string " error in the IF statement. If

The first two lines of my program are: DebugBreak(); bool retval=ChartApplyTemplate(0,"Jerry36.tpl"); I note that it looks for the templates in the MQL5\Files folder, and yet the main charting window expects them in Profiles\Templates . Why do they

I'm playing with Fractals and have the following snippet: int Handle2 = iFractals(NULL, PERIOD_M15);        double FractBuffer[];        CopyBuffer(Handle2, 0, 0, 30, FractBuffer);   

I have: bool   MyVar = false; When I try and display a comment: Comment ("MyVar: " + MyVar); I get implicit conversion from 'number' to 'string' warning when compiling. In MT4 it would compile OK and print a 'one' or 'zero' corresponding to

Just a general observation. My MT5 uses nearly 500Mb of RAM compared with about 45Mb on MT4. I have exactly the same number of windows, and the same indicators on both. MT5 takes about 20 seconds to start up, whilst MT4 is almost instant. MT5 is, by

Imagine you have several trades running, and you would like to view the corresponding chart to see how its getting on. If you have a dozen or so chart windows open to have to look at each one to find the correct forex pair. It would be useful to be

In MT4 I have: A1 = iAO(NULL, PERIOD_H1, 1); Reading the MT5 documentation I don't understand how to get it to work. It complains that the parameter count is wrong. It hasn't got the last item, so how do I extract the nth bar information? The

I fill in the Email details in Tools>Options. I click Test and nothing happens. I click OK, and the form closes. When I open it up, it hasn't remembered anything. -Jerry

I found the right hand scale on charts on MT4 really confusing. There were a number of postings about this at the time and I'm saddened to see that it hasn't been improved in MT5. The scale seems quite arbitary and it is impossible to be able to

MT5 offers a very limited number of pairs, and they all have USD in them, so if one changes they all tend to go the same way. It is just because it's a beta or have I missed something? Is it dependant on the broker perhaps (I'm connected to
