I was working very hard on this indicator over the weekend. It has been a lot of fun, and a struggle to get things right.

Added topic Is it possible to work with live ticks in MQL5 indicators?
We know that OnTick() will not do anything in MT5 indicator scripts, and MqlTick is a structure based on tick retrieval (historic ticks, not live). I haven't worked with MQL4, but I believe it was possible to work with live ticks in mql4 indicators

Published code Plot the previous candlestick OHLC of the selected period
It will automatically plot a colored horizontal line on the previous open/highs/lows/close of the selected period, and it will make the lines consistent on this price when switching timeframes.

Published code Translating mouse click on chart into price value (Helper function)
This is a helper function which enables you to find the price of the symbol (the prices on the Y-axis) wherever you click the mouse on the chart.
Using OnChartEvent, we don't have an MQL5 function in the API to do this, we can only obtain X and Y pixel values with mouse click.

Added topic I noticed that the strategy tester is doing some caching and will ignore new logic after making changes in a script
I could make a change in the code (lets say I alter the EA so that it will have a fixed SL of 25 points), then I recompile the script in the MetaEditor, and run it again in the strategy tester . It does not act on the changes I made in the code

Added topic I can't figure out why the EA using iCustom doesn't work in the strategy tester
I am testing out iCustom with my own indicator which is a simple MA with arrow signals (long and short signals based on how the market price moves over the MA). This indicator is not to be used as an EA in live scenario as the indicator has no

Added topic How to start learning to make EAs (best guide for beginners?)
Hi, I started trying to make EAs for the first time just by going through MQL5 articles like this one: https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/367 This talked about making a signal script (.mqh) for the EA wizard. They inherit the CExpertSignal

Added topic Is it possible to obtain boolean variable states generated from an indicator for use in an EA?
I wanted to evolve one of my indicators into an EA just to see if it would be possible. My indicator makes one bool variable turn true when a certain condition is met in OnCalculate, and makes another bool variable turn true with another condition is

Published code Moving Average with alerts on price crossovers
I wanted to build a moving average which would create an alert when the price moves over the line by a user defined amount of points.
It creates both bullish and bearish signals depending on the direction of market price moving through the MA. It is designed for slow length moving averages (default is 200-day MA).
EDIT: I now added a second version of the indicator which uses Arrow buffers instead of ObjectCreate.

Added topic Does anyone have experience making audio alerts? (alert needs to play once)
My audio alert should trigger when a certain condition is met, it does trigger on this condition and plays the alert, but the issue I'm facing is that once the alert triggers it doesn't just play once...it sounds like someone starts suddenly playing

Added topic Making a graphic show up under the candle when it is unsafe to trade at that moment (code tutorial)
I had this funny idea to make a red spike appear under the candle when it is unsafe to buy. As a warning signal. When the price is high, the red spike gets larger in dimension...the larger the spike, the more the trader needs to be certain about
