I am writing some utility functions that I can add to any experts/indicators I create via an include file. For example: //-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- //Function: CreateVlineObject

Hi, I am trying to write a simple script to place orders for me using the include file OrdersSuite.mqh and my own include file myfunctions.mqh. The code I have written works perfectly on my main broker Alpari UK. But I cannot seem to get it to work

I am trying to create an EA to trade from a signals service provider - eventually anyway. For now I am trying to program just the functions to read in the necessary information. Two approaches I am considering: 1. The alerts come via email, I can
