Can I ask some MT4 questions? - page 2

[William Roeder]

Hossein: I mean when I move object1 by mouse, I need the object2 to follow the direction of object1.

You need to monitor the position of object1 in OnChartEvent. See my (for MT4): 'Money Manager Graphic Tool' indicator by 'takycard' - Risk Management - Articles, Library comments - MQL5 programming forum - Page 6 #55 (2018.01.14 and modified for screen resolution #75 (2020.02.17)

Hi William Roeder, Thank you for your help. I saw the links you advised, but as I am not a professional programmer, I didn't get what should I do exactly. Can you edit my code for monitoring the position of object1 in OnChartEvent (as you mentioned).  Really appreciated

please anyone help, how do i use the step over and step into buttons in metaeditor 4, i have been looking on YouTube but no luck 

[Hossein]

Hi everybody. I have written an indicator that creates a button on the chart. By pressing the button, it prints "Hello". Simple and easy!!! Then I save it as a new template. When I add the indicator on a new chart (by hand), it works well, but whenever I apply it as a template to a new chart it does not work. Anybody knows the reason? I would appreciated if h/she help me.

Can anyone suggest why the attached indicator  sometimes misses printing an alert and will not play any alert sounds. Thanks in anticipation of any help - John

"Sometimes misses?" Considering that it has no code to Alert or PlaySound, why do you think it would ever do that.
