What 'Volume' (/bar) that is shown at the bottom of the MT4 charts does this actually refer to? 1 - Ticks/bar 2 - Trade volume ? If so what type of 'volume'? a - # Lots? b - # Trades? c - Monetary value?  If so, what is used for the 'valuation'

Trying to figure out how to suppress the Trades (TESTDETAILS) in both the Strategy Tester and Optimization reports. The htm files in the Templates folder provides the format for these report, but it is not what generates them. So far I have been

Still working towards a comprehensive. long term traditional Trading Journal. I'm wondering if there is any way in MQL4 to utilize the widely used and standardized 'Tags' to save the EA Name, Version Number and Set File (info) that many such apps

Is it possible to generate a 'Back Test' report in the ' Strategy Tester ' that doesn't not include all of the individual trade details? Possibly the same for the 'Optimization Report' as well

I'd like to auto generate a COMPLETE and permanent trading journal that records ALL aspects of every trade, including indicator values and EA settings etc. This is distinct from MT4's journal and more akin to a traditional trading journal that one

I have a retail manual trading system that has numerous (custom) indicator modules to it. It has one 'master indicator' that uses other indicators and generates trading signals and paints these as Objects on the chart and generates alerts if I have

Compiled commercial indicator. iCustom it OK. Paints 6 permanent indicators (+ in Data window). Sometimes indicates more than one trade on the same tick, and not only at the opening of a new bar. EA misses duplicate trades. Likewise if I only trade

Is their anyway to capture and utilize Data from Alert & Info Boxes

The topic about says it: The current value of the cumulative total 'profits' in the grey line at the bottom of all of the active and open trades (in the first 'Trade' tab) at the bottom of the terminal. This is distinct from either the

I need to maintain the number of open market orders, and perhaps eventual pending orders as well, by each instrument symbol that are currently active and open. This needs to persist past each new tick and only gets altered when a specified symbol is

In the following MQ info, I don't see any difference in the Functions other than the last variable/argument is different. Other than that the Format and Structure are EXACTLY the same are they not? I know that one can use the void Non-ReturnFunction

I'm consistently having problems setting both the 'LINE_WIDTH and LINE_STYLE in the SetIndexStyle function . I'm following the info and examples in the MetaEditor, but.... )< 8( #property indicator_color1 Aqua ....... ....... int init() {

I'd like to give 'weighting' and control the amount of influence that different indicators and chart info has on making the decision to either enter into a trade or not and to close and exit a trade or not. Hence one indicator might be weighted at

// from p64 of 'Expert Advisor Programming' by Andrew R. Young: double TickValue = MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_TICKVALUE); If (Point == 0.001 || Point == 0.00001) TickValue *= 10; Is the equation in Red above a typo or ??? If not what does it mean and

The IsTesting() function returns TRUE if the EA can do BackTesting and FALSE if not. But how is the capability of the EA to do BackTesting implemented and controlled

Execution scope: I understand that unless I code it in otherwise, everything within the scope of the 'start' function executes on every tick . But what about outside the scope of the Start function? Such as code that is often seen prior to this

Looked quite a bit here and in my hard copy book on how to separate (Market) Sell and Buy orders. Then in this case, close one or the other type out separately. Though this would be useful for other purposes as well. This should be possible with them

Trying to figure out a 'kluge' / 'work around' for Conditional Branching/GoTo in MQL4

How can I optimize Indicators that aren't in or part of any EA? The setup is for a manual trading system with up to 8 indicators attached to charts. I have the source code for some of them that are in the public domain, but not the primary ones which
