Hi All, This is a quick question for all of you coding gurus out there. Im in the process of designing anindicator. I thought it was finished and everything was good to go, and it seemed to look ok when loaded up. But then I started realizing, my 120 gig hard drive was filling up fast. After...

Can the MT developers post an example of a robust EA that uses stop orders to enter trades? The stops are calculated based on time of day, so if there is no new tick there, the next incoming bar should be considered. I am looking at the samples but they are not robust. They don't have error...

Hi, Would anyone be interested in coding this type of thing for an indictor? I have a set of indicators that I use for entry criteria, and if I could get an indicator of it's own that would show when all the criteria are met, that would be neat.

Since you are working on the dictionary improvements, it would be good idea to mark which function cannot be used in Script, Expert and Indicator. Knowing that the Indicator cannot use OrderSend() I was under an impression that I cannot use other Order....() functions. Last week I was pleasantly...

Hi Slawa, Just wondering if I can use sleep function to make EA "wait for 8 seconds" between trading operations, for example: If (Bid>High[1]) then Open Order 17; Sleep(8000); If (Bid<Low[1]) then Close Order 17; Just want to make sure that if I do this, that it will not cause...
