Hello, concerning the implemented VPS function in Metatrader 4 I have two questions: 1. Assumed I want to place a position manually and sell it by using an EA: Is it possible to place the order manually, transfer the data of the corresponding symbol (including the already placed order and the...

Hallo, I have found this solution (mql-auth) to login into an account from an MQL4 program. It fills by Windows APIs the "Login", the "Password" and the "Server" fields but doesn't care about the "Save account information" checkbox, so it is always checked. How could I uncheck it from the program?...

I am ashamed to have to ask this, after 10+ years of mq4 programming. I have been programming in general for 30+ years, and one of the rules I use is to extensively look for an answer before asking for it. This time I am desperate, actually. Loosing my faith in MT4 (...ehm), or just losing it

Hi everyone I have some great trading ideas, well tested in manual trading and in some basic MQL4 code, but I lack experience in making EAs. The code works fine in indicators, but it fails in EA. For example: For Loops used to fill in and update arrays, they work fine in indicators, and yet the

My understanding is that Constants such as Open[], Close[], etc. automatically shift right each time a new bar is created. As does and Double Array that you designate as an indicator buffer. My question is, can you declare your own arrays that will automatically shift in the same way? So that you...

This Indicator does not repaints its arrows after candle close. Very good for scalping on M1 and M5 time frames. Just need to filter with some other indicators. Some one can please add alerts to this indi when it draws buy and sell arrows

Hi,  Is there any way to plot the Fractals indicator on a different time frame from the current chart? I have tried replacing the High[i] section with the iHigh function with iHigh(NULL,PERIOD_H4,0)[i]. However it doesn't seem to work and says an "array is missing [". I am basically looking for it...

Hi, I've written this short script to open 5 charts on the 15 min timeframe and apply a template to those charts, then open another 5 charts on the 5 min timeframe so that I can apply a different template to those. The script runs but the last part doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in...

I want to return the standard deviation of the ATR over a given period.  Trying to do this, but it isn't working. double my_ATR = iATR(NULL, 0, my_ATR_period, 0); double my_ATR_stddev = iStdDevOnArray(my_ATR, 0, my_ATR_period, 0, 0, 0); Any Ideas?

Hi, I would like to prevent that after restarting the MT4 the user will be able to connect to the previously connected account in spite of that in the login window the "Save account information" and in the server options window the "Keep personal settings and data at startup" are klicked on.

I'm writing a script for MT4 on the Oanda platform and I'm a bit confused. Normally with a 3 or a 5 digit value you would need to convert a Point to a pip by multiplying by 10. When I do this however, I end up getting 10 times the amount of pips. So when I want to set my take profit to 50 pips. it...

How do you get "Date" of specific candle? For example I want to know the date of previous candles. The only solution I discovered to use the iTime() function but it's so weird to me because of it's name time, and not only you get time but including the date. I want to know if there's other way to do...

How to get date of period separator? I have a hard time to get 1 day or I mean 5 days of data in 4hrs timeframe. In 1min to 1hr timeframe I can easily get the 1 day of candles if I compare the current date to previous date but the problem in 4hr timeframe have 5 days of candles, sometimes 4 days of...

Hello,  I`m attaching a file for MT4 EA, I want to know if this file is convertible to MT5 EA? i found this EA is helpful for MT4 and i want to use it on MT5. Thanks

Hi I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but if I have multiple timeframes open for the same currency pair, with different EAs running on each of them, how can I tell which EA actually triggered the Buy/Sell order? Edit: Sorry, just realised if I hover over the order in MT4 I can see the expert ID...

Hi guys, I'm trying to debug my EA on history data and the option on the menu is always disabled. I see it works fine with real data. I already did the necessary setting under Tools -> Options -> Debug tab and the menu option is still grayed out. I found some old topics about this subject but they...

I am trying to download historical indicator data and open/high/low/close values to a .csv file.  When I run the following code on an offline GBPUSD 5 minute chart (see screen shot) I am not getting the values I see in the chart.   Here is the last line in the .csv file which matches the datetime of...

Hello, i am having trouble with my trades. I dont know if it's the EA or the broker am using that causing me problems. All my trades are opened 4 to 5 pips away from the previous bar's close. I understand there's slippage but 5 pips away from the close is just too much. the ea reads a decision from

Hi, For the past week weeks I have been observing very weird look of candles on different trading symbols' charts. The problem seems to be that candles don't even form or barely start to form correctly. I haven't seen any major internet connection problem with MT server so I don't understand what

I've got an EA set up against a demo account (and then uploaded to the MQL VPS service) It should be using iHigh and iLow based on the first Candle to determine a range and then uses these as SLs (plus a few pts) to set up 2 orders But as you can see from the picture it seems to be using wrong...

Hi, can someone explain me difference between "Bid" and MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_BID) ? I used "Bid" value for some open positions and when I wanted to check opened position with OrderSelect it didn't find it and that order was opened with that price "Bid". After that I started to use
