Wishes for MQL5 - page 40

 

to Rosh.

I'm deleting the posts. I had a function call with a local variable value.
Thanks for the study.
Apologies for the distraction...

 

The "toolbox" is not designed in a standard way, i.e. it is not familiar to the average user and is therefore incomprehensible.


In order to bring it to the standard, it is necessary to do as it is customary in the Windows environment:

-In the search window write "all files" (now the window is empty)
-Replace the "binoculars" button with a standard button labeled "Find: "Find" .


Essentially there is only one change required: add "Find" to the binoculars icon.

 
One more time, although this was already suggested (I think by Integer): do not open tester report file in browser when saving report. Instead of processing the htm report file further, you have to wait a long time for it to open in the browser (if there are a lot of transactions, it's a terrible drag).
 

There is a wish for the layout of the Strategy Tester window.


If the Strategy Tester window goes down a bit, the visualisation control buttons are missing.


Now, the installation windows: Expert Advisor, instrument, and model are located above, while the control is below. This is very inconvenient, as the screen area of the monitor is used inefficiently.

Especially in laptops. Before 196 builds, it was indifferent, but now you can install indicators in the visual chart.


Suggestion:

1. the visual control should be placed at the top (you don't have to wait for version 5)

2. save window space Strategy Tester.

3. Make the Tester window moveable to a vertical view.

 

To brush up the unit on the theme of highlighting quotes within quotes...

For example it looks like with an error judging by the colour,

but it compiles without errors and the code writes as it should...

True, only with single quotes, with double quotes it will cause an error:

'http' - variable not defined


WriteString("\xAE >A href="http://kombates.net/"<kombates.NET>/A<"+">BR<");

SZY: but it's not on the forum in the case of single ones... ;)


WriteString("\xAE <A href='http://kombates.net/'>kombates.NET</A>"+"<BR>");

2: and glitches forum ...

look, in the upper code, the angle brackets are turned upside down.

 
WriteString("\xAE <A href=\"http://kombates.net/\">kombates.NET</A>"+"<BR>");

With backslash escaping, more precisely by unity slash: \"

goes well...

 

A wish for MT5: make a more humane protection for demo account passwords (if it's not technically too difficult).

I do not think that someone will steal passwords to demo accounts :)

And for users - less problems.

 

'if' - too complex expression D:\...\SymbolInfo29.mq4 (404, 1)


If only there were a complete description of what the unit generates...

1. Search for "too complex expression" - 0.

2. Help search is brazenly ignored... unitor... ;)


And most importantly... maybe it's just me.

If I click on the error line, I get anywhere but where in the code.

Up, down...

 

There are a lot of good, useful wishes here.


I would like to add to them the following (already written before).
I would like to have a central folder for all scripts, indices, eXperts, templates, profiles and other MQL4 animals, so that they can be applied to several brokers simultaneously without constantly copying files from one place to another.

 
Yes, someone mentioned C# here.
It would be nice to improve intellisense MQL, i.e. to be able to terminate functions, variables etc. (I don't know Russian words for these terms).
