Description
The program interface consists of three buttons (screenshot 2).
Mode 1 - collecting ticks (screenshot 3):
The mode is activated by ->CSV button. If Collect ticks at start = true, the mode is enabled automatically during the launch, otherwise it should be activated manually.
Use common folder defines the folder the files should be saved to - the common terminal folder or the current terminal one.
Tick history files are csv files containing three columns - time, bid and ask - located in the ..\Files\ subdirectory.
Tick collection is recommended to be performed daily on a separate computer (VPS).
Mode 2 - offline chart (screenshots 4-7):
When clicking ->HST, the program generates an offline chart using the available tick history, opens it and updates it in real time based on incoming price data.
The chart type is defined by Chart Type and Step settings, Period for hst file should be non-standard. Start and end dates are defined by Starting Date and Ending Date.
All indicators on the chart will be updated correctly. However, some changes should be made in the code to let EAs operation. The entire EA logic should be moved from the OnTick() handler to OnChartEvent().
{
//take all EA logic from here
}
void OnChartEvent(const int id,
const long &lparam,
const double &dparam,
const string &sparam)
{
if (id == CHARTEVENT_CUSTOM+14)
{
//and place it right here
}
}
Mode 3 - tester file (screenshots 8-9):
When clicking ->FXT, the program generates the tester file using the available tick history.
The chart type is defined by Chart Type and Step settings, Period for txt file should be standard. Start and end dates are defined by Starting Date and Ending Date.
The file is created in the ..\MQL4\Files\ subdirectory. Move it to ..\tester\history\ manually and apply the read-only attribute (so that it is not overwritten by the tester).
Note! A saved ask price is not applied when testing. Testing can only be performed with a fixed spread set in the tester settings!
