No.
 

This question: the standard OA indicator uses 2 additional index buffers, which are not involved in rendering the indicator:

As you can see only calculations are made in these arrays. I don't understand why these arrays should be assigned index buffer status?

to set the size of the array!

 

Hello forum users!

I am a total MQL programmer. But I would like to have a simple EA like this. Opens pose with some lot. I set immediately a fixed stop (20-30 pips). After reaching a certain profit (20-30 pips) we close part of the position (50%), and for the remaining positions the stop is moved to Breakeven. For the remaining position a profit order is placed or it is monitored manually. Here is an idea. I would be very grateful for answers.

use regular arrays rather than buffer arrays

instead of

SetIndexBuffer(3,ExtBuffer3);SetIndexBuffer(4,ExtBuffer4);

use

ArrayResize(ExtBuffer3,Bars); ArrayResize(ExtBuffer4,Bars);

Thank you!!!

arrays for drawing in the indicator cannot exceed the specified limit (I think it's 8)!

arrays for calculations also have limits, but the number is bigger!

to work around limits using arrays, you need to use libraries!

 
I have a question. Is it possible to make a news waiter. Let's say today will be the news exact time is not known approximate text one word, I need a longer and louder beep can do it.
 
Hello, plz tell me as many possible reasons why the variable k=Bars may change when a new bar has not yet started to form (any possible situations), say you changed the currency pair, timeframe, some mt4 update or in dc.
