Hello,
I use in my mql5 EA ;to avoid the OnChartEvent's call; the following code
But when i press the buton "Buy" the fuction does not work well, it might enter a trade but ofen not!!!( It seems thatthe buton can't be often bushed )
knowing that it works very well in mql4
is there any solution for that?
You need to work through events - in this case, you will not miss the event, and when polling the button status, you will always miss clicks.
Actually I use it to manually backtest, the OnchartEvent can't be called in testing mode.
In mql4 it works very well in both live and backtesting mode without missing an event .
In mql5 must be a solution for that.

I would suggest, printing the output, to see what it receives when it is not working, since it works certain times
The jornal does show nothing when I was pushing the buton, until the order tooked, and it works only on the testing mode when the speed of testing is high near maximal

I will be thankful if you gave a a solution for that.Testing it, the problem is like stated above https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/384269#comment_26534093
How would it get here
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Buy if(ObjectGetInteger(0,"Buy",OBJPROP_STATE)) { // The program is not getting to this stage, since it does know it is suppose to start the process with mouse click Trade.Buy(NormalizeDouble(BuyLot,2),NULL,Ask,0,0,""); a =0; ObjectSetInteger(0,"Buy",OBJPROP_STATE,false); } ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Sell if(ObjectGetInteger(0,"Sell",OBJPROP_STATE)) { // Similarly, with the object clicked on the chart, it is not getting here as well Trade.Sell(NormalizeDouble(SellLot,2),NULL,Bid,0,0,""); ObjectSetInteger(0,"Sell",OBJPROP_STATE,false); }
I did not try it in tester mode
if you try it like this you would better understand why you need the onChartEvent, or you could think of what would start the object searching function
bool a = false; void OnTick() { //--- . . . a = false; ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Buy while(a==false){ if(ObjectGetInteger(0,"Buy",OBJPROP_STATE)) { Trade.Buy(NormalizeDouble(BuyLot,2),NULL,Ask,0,0,""); ; ObjectSetInteger(0,"Buy",OBJPROP_STATE,false); a = true; } ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Sell if(ObjectGetInteger(0,"Sell",OBJPROP_STATE)) { Trade.Sell(NormalizeDouble(SellLot,2),NULL,Bid,0,0,""); ObjectSetInteger(0,"Sell",OBJPROP_STATE,false); a = true; } }
Your output would looking like the below

Thanks for the respond,
There is a lot of MANUAL BACKTESTING EAs that works well in mt5 testing mode, so logicaly there is a methode of doing it without calling the OnChartEvent which can't be used on testing mode;
I am just a beginer trader, don't know how to code correctly with understanding, I just try to applicat what I see in not many videos on youtube...
It is sad that mql5 programers don't share thier knowledge here,
I came up with a little solution here, it may work well on testing mode as on live mode.
Instead of using ObjectCreate function I will use the O.O.P as bellow:
#include<Controls\Button.mqh>
CButton Buy;
CButton Sell;
the Creation of objects
void Object() { Buy.Create(0,"Buy",0,250,40,200,80); Buy.Text("Buy"); Buy.FontSize(10); Buy.Color(clrWhite); Buy.ColorBackground(clrGreen); Buy.ColorBorder(clrGray); Buy.Activate(); //--- set the chart's corner, relative to which point coordinates are defined ObjectSetInteger(0,"Buy",OBJPROP_CORNER,3); Sell.Create(0,"Sell",0,00,40,-50,80); Sell.Text("Sell"); Sell.FontSize(10); Sell.Color(clrWhite); Sell.ColorBackground(clrRed); Sell.ColorBorder(clrGray); Sell.Activate(); //--- set the chart's corner, relative to which point coordinates are defined ObjectSetInteger(0,"NegatifBuy",OBJPROP_CORNER,3); }
and on the Ontick function I replaced the ObjectGetInteger check function with this
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Buy if(Buy.Pressed()) { Trade.Buy(NormalizeDouble(BuyLot,2),NULL,Ask,0,0,""); Buy.Pressed(false); } ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Sell if(Sell.Pressed()) { Trade.Sell(NormalizeDouble(SellLot,2),NULL,Bid,0,0,""); Sell.Pressed(false); }
It works Very well on the live mode but on the Testing mode I need to click on the lower right corner of the object , may be I need to adjust some object proprieties wich I don't know how to do it yet.

Hello,
I use in my mql5 EA ;to avoid the OnChartEvent's call; the following code
But when i press the buton "Buy" the fuction does not work well, it might enter a trade but ofen not!!!( It seems thatthe buton can't be often bushed )
knowing that it works very well in mql4
is there any solution for that?
