Hello This ought to be easy but I'm finding it fiendish. I want to draw a rectangle around my non-trading hours. I can do this ok in a custom indicator , by scanning the Bars-IndicatorCounted() for the start hour of my trading day, and when I get

Hi My investor's PC appears to be creating trades OK, SL/TP drawn, but not the actually order line itself.  See the attached pic. I've worked with mt4 and mql4 for about 6 years now and not ever seen this and wouldn't know where to look. Google

Hello I have a fn which calcs missed daily, weekly and monthly pivots, and plots lines. Due to the lines being triggered by buttons, the calc is done in an EA, not an indicator.  I need to plot the lines to start level with the first bar of the

Hello I'm working on a bespoke missed weekly pivots calculation.  If the user pulls such onto an M5 chart, as I process the Bars, if the Time of the last bar (i+1) is Sunday and the time of 'this' bar is Monday, I know i+1 is the last of last

Hi I've just noticed an H4 new bar at 00.09. Not 00.00? I must have missed something in the manual but nothing obvious is jumping out of google. 

Hello As there is clearly only one correct answer to the question, 'How many pips of profit does my current trade exhibit?', I'm interested to see the most efficient way of coding this. I could work this out from reading, but I'm concerned about

Hello For a while I've been using the following lot size calculation in EAs, and more recently in a script I can drag onto a chart for it to do the lot size calc for manual trades automatically.  My trading partner said, 'wow and it handles

Hello I have a script I run every time I trade and so I want to make it quicker by assigning a hotkey to the attachment of that script to the focussed chart.  How can I do this

Hello Every tick , I want to update a variable with the current server time zone.  I can't find how this is done within mql4. I'd rather avoid having to scrape this off the web.  Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks

Hello I've recently found ShellExecuteA and W. qs: 1. Why are these not in any of the documentation categories except Forum?  i.e. why are these undocumented in the mql4 codebase, yet the function exists? 2. What are the return codes from this

Hello I'm missing something which I cannot see easily on google.  Maybe I'm missing the point of header use. I'm getting 'RefreshRates' - function not defined when I compile a .mqh file. The same applies for loads of other functions I'm trying

Hello I acquired a free-to-download indicator for MT4 with no src code and no instructions on how to work with it in mql4 and I want to work with its output values in my EA.  Although I can see the extern value types from the input tab when I
