Can this screenshot indicator be converted to MT5?

New comment
 

Hello,

This is a really useful indicator for taking screen shots of Metatrader 4 charts to see price movement and indicator operation.

Does one exist for MT5? If so, could you share it? Are you able to help me by creating one for MT5? It would be a great help to many traders.

Thank you, Chris

Thank you! I am most grateful.
 

Hello,

I am wondering if the code of the screenshots indicator for METATRADER4, in my initial post of this thread, could be repaired? It no longer compiles without errors and it doesn't attach to chart. I have attached it below.

Can a forum member check the code?

Thank you again, Chris

   ChartScreenShot(ChartID(),file,size_x,size_y,ALIGN_RIGHT);

I haven't been successful in getting the MT4 version to work. It loads to chart but there are no screenshots in the Files folder. Can you check it for me, please? Thank you!!!
