I believe I have used these 2 routines on several occasions and never had a warning / problem. When I compile my EA I get the warning "macro redefinition" with line # for line in second routine.  Obviously not critical but would like to

I hav erecently go some invalid stops occurring ( Error 130 ) so thought I'd try the Market info stoplevel command as shown below. I just seem to be getting a value of zero 0.00000000 to be precise. The following code is the 'entire' EA I expect to

Thought this would be easy but can't find a solution If - for example I have some objects on a chart then I want my EA to check for there existence then interrogate the details of the object. If I draw - say 3 lines on a chart - Insert Hline - then I

I have an EA which has been working in various forms for a long time. The EA has several #include <.....................> statements including one file with all my variables. This morning I changed a variable and recompiled - all appeared fine

I have just installed the new build and spent quite some time making changes that will be acceptable. Looks very good! My EA writes log data to a series of files - information to help find errors, MIN & MAX data and also a log of when contracts

I have used ADX in the past with no problem. I have just tried to access values for DI+ & DI- and they appear so different than on the chart. I use the Comment statement to display the values on the top part of the screen. The lower half displays

Can't figure out why this happens! I have a routine to check the integrity of my orders.  [If I have previously been unable to close orders after delays and retrys then details are written to file and dealt with here] So in 99.9% of occasions

I am trying to drawn a TREND line but I just get a line running across the screen (the wide GOLD line below). EAM55_2 & EMA55_1 are the EMA's for 2 consecutive figures. The start time on the right hand side appears correct but I just want the

I want to include a box in the top right hand corner of my screen with 6 lines of data which change each time period (i.e. 1M,5M,30M etc). I have seen some details about the mt4gui but not too much. I have extracted the following code from an example

If I have failed to close an order then I write to an error log a ticket # and magic number in a string. The file will always exist but will normally be empty. I am trying to read the error file in a loop which starts with the following code. I would

I am using the code below to check a log file. Most of the tickets I would expect to have been closed sometime ago and I would therefore expect the code to take the 'else' route but the FileWrite suggestions otherwise

Have been trying to develop my first customer indicators . One example sort of worked and I could access the results - great. The following displays nothing in the indicator window - not even the ShortName, parameters - just a complete blank panel I

I recently added to comments about people not being able to create demo accounts (after January 1st I think). The problem appears several fold Demo accounts are created using (Alpari UK) current build - 409 (Oct 2011) [BUILD #s maybe different with

I have been trying to open a further demo account early this morning (9:15 am in UK) and was unable to - this system gave the 'failed noise' and never reached the FINISH stage. Alpari (UK) created account for me. (I have passed details of this query

I have an EA which I have written and typically I have it running on several charts at a time. Each EA has an 'on screen ' display in the form of a comment created in the EA and shows current and history contracts for that instrument - together with

I have been trying to close 2 similar orders one after the the other - one seems to succeed and the other (2nd) fail on more than one occasion. Both orders would be either Buy or Sell (ie both the same and the price set the same - both ask or bid)

I just couldn't track an error down then found a very basic calculation not performing as expected - I've subsequently tried various combinations and reduced it to the following (comments / spacing removed ). Variables are read from a file which is

I was trying to find information about History then found some real querks in the thread -- https://forum.mql4.com/29064. This hasn't really affected me to-date - still testing but re-enforces that I want to display all in the history tab. Question I

I recently had cause to install a new instance of MetaTrader because I couldn't figure out how to upgrade. I've read various clips and it appears the upgrade feature should be 'automatic' .. but this doesn't seem to happen for me. I have just
