Hi, I know that Eas, Indis and scripts can access in MQL4 historic data via iTime(), iOpen(), ... of various symbols and timeframes. In MQL5 exists for that either CopyRates() and or its family: CopyTime(), CopyOpen(), ... (and no other option :()

In the history data of m1 I have a hole - ok, can happen. E.g. if I want to 'start to feed' as of a date that is within that data hole I get the last existing m1-bar so to say the left end of the hole: datetime tA[], t0 = TimeCurrent () - 5040000 ;

I created an OOP-base for Indicators and EA, so that I don't have to use iCustom! What you see is a very simple Mom: Buff2[b+1] = close[b+1] - close[b+1+PER]; Buff1 receives the values that are calculated by the OOP-base. As you can see, the

The situation: an EA has opened two position with aTckt and bTckt and manages them (controlled Comment()). Now I close manually one of them, e.g. aTckt. But the following code neither set _LastError nor does OrderSelect() return false so that n is

Hi is there another way than to open a file to read, read it totally, close it, do some changes e.g. actualize the last access date of a line  and then reopen it again to write and rewrite it completely and close it. I open this file

Hi, does anybody know what error number the mt4-server returns if an order already has been closed and an EA tries to close 'the ticket' as well? MT5 does have: 10036 TRADE_RETCODE_POSITION_CLOSED The position with the given POSITION_IDENTIFIER has

Hi, I realized a nasty error in mt4: string strEmpty, strCompare = "lkjhsadslkjh" ; if ( StringFind (strEmpty, strCompare) < 0 ) strEmpty = strEmpty + ";" + strCompare; As strrEmpty is empty (not initialized) mt4 throws the error 4052 (=

This little script: void OnStart ()   { //---    int waitMinutes = 60 ,        waitSec     = waitMinutes* 60 ,       

Hi I (Win7, 64, mt4, b1090) have an indicator CaVol with about 10 Parameter of which only the first two matters (the rest is for the presentation). This indicator has 34 puffer. Now I wrote a second indicator CallingCaVol() that calls the first one -

Hi, I am still using mt4 and I tried to use TerminalInfoInteger (TERMINAL_PING_LAST) to detect net failures. Sometimes it works: But sometimes it doesn't! :( Obviously the ping is executed in another thread than eas and indis (at east in mt4) it

Hi does anybody know how often mt4 makes a ping to its server? And is there a way to force the terminal to make another ping

Hi, I (mt4 b1065) created 10 little rectangles at the lower right corner and and changed their size acc. to the image  BUT, they do not appear as objects in the object-window (ctrl-B)? Anybody else with this experience? Beside that I cannot

Hi, has anybody recognized this 'feature' as well - may as well in mt5 too? Developing a multi-symbol-system I do:        ResetLastError ();        int cop1= CopyRates (Sym, PERIOD_M1 , 0

Well this is my situation: I speak about two include files: Errors.mqh and CmyClass.mqh both in ..\MQL4\Include\ which I want to compile individually to detect 'grammatical' errors! I created a class CmyClass.mqh which contains the class method: bool

I don't like individual configuration for general problems :( The JPY has a structure of 123.456 if you multiply it wit the lot size 100,000$ you'll get a ridiculous high number. You have to divide the JPY-price by 1000 to be able to use it in

• YES: Me: Alexa, what is the price of the Eur-Dollar? Alexa: 20 Points below MA, RSI is overbought, .. ME: Alexa, Buy 1 Lot, place profittarget at 30 Points.. Alexa: I buy 1 lot Euro-dollar ..,

• NO: This will reduce the manpower for what should be the core competence of Metaquotes, the client and the server terminals.

Hi, I have written a three nested classes: a manager, the quotes class (as many instances as symbols required) the worker(s) (calculating hat is required) Now this triumvirate is called either by an indicator and alternatively by a script (mainly for

Hi, I am baffled. I was looking for a way to get the broker's commission of a symbol without trading it. For an open or closed position I do have OrderCommission(). (But why the hell should I go through the whole history with the chance to miss a

Hi, I just realised a new feature I would have never expected: The EURGBP position is shown on the EURCHF chart. But now - after a couple of minutes - its gone and can only be seen on EURGBP. Could be an interesting idea: all position on one chart

I wanted the EA to coordinate file accesses using GetTickCount(). So I was testing what it can do and got this: It should sleep for 7 mSec but it never sleeps. Here is my EA, where am I mistaken??  Or is this just the reason why the terminals
