I have a few functions inside void OnTick()  {} that run on every tick and draw/update data on the chart. All of them work except this one: void drawVLine()  {    string name = "VLine" ;    if ( ObjectFind (name) !=

I am a neophyte in MQL programming and have been trying to develop my own EA. It has a pretty good performance on Strategy Tester , but loses money when it goes live. This week was the ultimate test. I left it running for the whole week in a demo

I made a very rough indicator with ObjectCreate/OBJ_TEXT that floats next to the current bar and I have these problems with it: - How do I position it? It is not just too close to the bar, it actually writes text over the bar and looks bad. I "fixed"

Let's say my EA is not performing very well and losing too many trades in a row, is there some way I can tell it to go sit on the bench for some time, like one hour or two (specifically) and try again later? Of course, I want to do that

MT4 has stopped working completely. That annoying "Common error" again. And again. And again. I tried all tricks I know to recover from it but none is working. I decided to reinstall. I went here: https://www.metatrader4.com/en/download First, it

Sorry, this must have been asked many times, but I still can't find it on my own. void BailOut() { Print("Emergency! Abort!"); return; } void mainFunction() { if (bool NuclearWarfare == 1) { BailOut(); } Of course, it's an oversimplification of what

I had a chart with many trend lines I had drawn. I deleted that chart by mistake. I tried to 'undelete' the chart, but it's not even on the list of deleted charts so I can't recover it. I have a backup of the entire \\Application

I like to leave MT4 running in background while I do something else. I make extensive use of Buy Limit and Sell Limit orders. Right after I add them, I right-click the chart on their respective SL/TP prices to add two alarms so I can go mind
