MQL4 and MetaTrader 4 - page 1423

Just getting my hands dirty with the API, and found that the only function to collect data is from the MarketInfo() call. If this duplicates the DDE data conneciton, all you get is the time and price data (Open, Close...), no Volume data. What do we use with MT4 to get volume data out of the...

Below is a trade which puzzles me. If you look at the log you will see that the BUY opened at 1.40435, yet when you use an alert, the alert shows 1.40445. A difference of .00010. . Is OrderOpenPrice() returning the value of the order " that was opened " or the value " if opened "?...

This situation is infuriating. I have EAs where I have been able to create a horizontal line with the creation of an object, and I can choose either a vline or an hline, but when I want to do this on an indicator in the same window, I get a single dot for the lines. Here are some snippets of my...

Hi all, Trying to call this function to check no. of open buy orders... When the code is called as a function from start() it always returns 0. When the code is placed in start() at the same place as the call it always returns correctly...??? Any ideas? TIA LL...

If there is no info on ticks in history, where are the ticks in tester coming from? I am not blind. I am serious. The history file contains only Open, High, Low, Close and Volume info. When we test the EAs, we see ticks. And we see the price TICKING up and down even on M1 time frame. When I asked...

I am new to programming the algorithmic language for MQL4. I am trying to program a script that will read prices from a txt or CSV file and insert horizontal lines in a chart for each value. Sometimes there could be 60 to 70 lines per chart. It would be nice to also be able to set the color property...

I love it when a position moves significantly into the green. So say a position has $200 profit showing. To lock in those profits, I'll rush in and set up a new stop loss at say $100 profit. It never fails to always bounce back, hit the stop loss, and then move another 50 points in the direction...

I have no programming experience and I have put about a 100 hours into learning and coding my EA. It does what I want it to do, but it will set a stop order and may fill it 4 hours later. How can I get the ea to execute buy or sell stop on the next bar only or wait until the criteria happens again....

To have my ea place a stop order entry at the high of the previous candle, do i need to set the high price as a new variable or will the ordersend function accept chart based price data such as high low etc?

I know it sounds like a stupid question but my thinking is that if the mobile MT4 does the same job and works on a desktop then it must use less resources and that opens up other possibilities like running many copies on different brokers or using older computers with less ram. Does anybody have any...
