Any questions from newcomers on MQL4 and MQL5, help and discussion on algorithms and codes - page 5

 
Vladymyr Glushko:
But how to do it step by step? ..... graphical objects (what are they and how to put them), put data labels on the graph (where to enter and with what data)....... sorry for stupid questions.

Software.

You need to write an information indicator with the data you want.

 
strongflex:
Next, if RSI crossed the level 20 minutes ago we check the price, i.e. to go short the price should be lower than 20 minutes ago. Thank you very much. If it works, I owe you a promise))

Since we create it maximally close to MQL5, we won't use MQL4 functions for getting bar shift by time and closing price (iBarShift() and iClose() respectively).

We do our own functions for this: GetBarShift() and GetPriceClose(). In addition, we will need to get the bar time using GetTime() function instead of iTime(), since we reject standard MQL4 functions.

Now we have to make a separate function to receive RSI data for the required time and compare prices and RSI values

Now we have to make a separate function to get data for RSI from desired time and compare prices and RSI values

And then like this?
if (prevRSIvalue1<70 && (prevRSIvalue0>70) && (prevClose_0>Bid))

    {
    ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL, 0.1, Ask, Slippage,0, 0, NULL, Magic, 0, Blue);
    return(0);
    }
 
Inserted at the end of the code to check:
int start()
{
int ticket;

  if (OrdersTotal() == 0)
         {
         ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL, 1, Bid, 0, 0, 0, NULL, 1234, 0, Red);
      
        
         }
         return(0);

}
in the tester does not open a trade. What could be the problem here?)

Who is stopping you from displaying the error code?

Dear forum users, Here is the question:

Is it possible in a tick block

int start() {}

Create an event which, when executed, will display a pop-up window in which you can manually set the value of a variable.

This is similar to what happens when you set a variable via Extern, but automatically during the execution of the program, rather than once at startup.

I would be grateful if you could at least tell me which way to dig.

Thank you!

Dig in kodobase, there's already such a thing there, with a panel on the chart. Here's how it is, for example.

Create an event which, when executed, will display a pop-up window in which you can manually set the value of a variable.

This is similar to what happens when you set a variable with Extern, but automatically during the execution of the program rather than once at startup.

I will be grateful if you tell me at least in what direction to dig.

Thank you!
