Hi Jagg, This Plot_Arrows tool is quite handy to draw speculative arrows on a chart. Up until now, I've never even bothered to display the quick Icon for Trend-by-Angle, because I consider it near worthless, but with these arrow heads added, it's ...

Automatic Arrowhead lines on MT4

What MT4 broker demo feed has the DXY chart? I found something on XMGlobal that might be similar to yours... Andrews Pitchforks, and derived forks, may offer some clues for the USDX-MAR21,Daily chart I've attached. The most recent leg came up and ...

Elliot Wave Analysis

Thanks, hayseed, for your comments. I have found a bug with the script "FIFO_CloseAll_Options.mq4" in post #1! The technique used to sort the trades is incorrect in that the 2nd sort-by-ticket# completely overrides the first sort-by-time and does ...

Maximum overkill Close-All script

Hey Nicholishen, I see you're not online much anymore, but in case you drop by, or if anyone else has a solution, I had troubles using the FIFO_CloseAll.mq4 script by you (similar to the OP script). It still broke the FIFO rule trying to close ...

Maximum overkill Close-All script

To clarify, by "flash off and on", do you mean that when you change time frames, all of the P4L Clock time labels (e.g. London, New York, etc.) momentarily disappear (just one time) from the chart, and then after >= 1 second (with a new tick?), they ...

New very cool CandleTime and session time Clock indicators

No doubt the MT4 documentation says something about the /portable switch, but here is: How I enable the /portable switch for my purposes: (Based on Win10, but similar on others). Run your MT4. Right-click over the now-visible icon for MT4, and click ...

calling scripts from indicator

In post#1, I place some links to some earlier adaptations of my scripts by others: There's an "indicator" style by robots4me (But some have noted a few glitches with it in subsequent posts). There are mt5 versions by getch. Then, of course, there ...

Improved OrderHistory mq4 script to display trade history on charts

The texts you see are because you have "Show Object Descriptions" set to true. I don't know any way to scale this kind of text in MetaTrader. Maybe there is and you could then control it, but I kinda doubt it. Share if you learn otherwise. My ...

Improved OrderHistory mq4 script to display trade history on charts

Hi Martino, FULL STOP. The data on FF does not go back farther than 2007. When you use the News Downloader to ask for data from year 2000-2006, (or any time before Jan 2007) you get garbage. It is clearly wrong when it has "Fed Chairman Bernanke ...

Plot News / Downloader version 4.00

You may have already updated for b600+, or you may have referred to my previously converted version mentioned here, but the one you just posted compiles fine with the latest build.

Daily Boxes/Lines indicator

Hi Martino, Thanks for bringing my awareness to the availability of data back to 2000. Yes, it was limited to 1/1/2007 as recent as April 8th, but now improved, assuming it is good data. It will hardly matter to most unless there is a source of data ...

Modified, useful MQ4 utilities, indicators, and related tips

2020-Apr-17: v4 released, of Hanover's b600+ utility functions (an #include file). A new v4 version of hanover --- extensible functions b600 (np).mqh is available in post #1 Note: With v4, there is no further need of the old v3 hanover --- function ...

Modified, useful MQ4 utilities, indicators, and related tips

Actually no. The root cause is a b600+ change of behavior for the hanover YMDtoDate function, which is based on your NumberToStr function, which is where the b600+ code error exists. YMDtoDate(2020,3,1) returns the datetime for 2020.01.03. Obviously ...

Hi Winston, I've been reading your posts and attempting to learn more about how you draw your symmetry. I'm well aware of similar symmetry concepts, but I'm attempting to expand my understanding. One way for me to learn is to start at the end of a ...

(binned per thread starter’s request) Measured Swing Trading

Hi Hanover, This Jan post of mine was regarding my observations of the timezone offsets for the Download News (news.csv) vs. the weekly XML file. What I had concluded was various offsets and ST/DST schedules for each file, but I was *wrong* with my ...

Plot News / Downloader version 4.00

I saw this error on a broker that changed their symbol names. I had to update my charts to the new symbols. But if I accidentally open an old profile that uses the former names, the charts never update, showing the "Wating for update" message ...

Waiting for an update - Charts are grayed out

Other than the thread-starter who can keep editing post#1, nobody can edit old posts, including mine with my original "mq4_mq5_bridge.mqh". I am not going to maintain and keep updating it, here or otherwise, unless I happen to be doing more MT4 to ...

MQL4 to MQL5 translation desk

May I make a suggestion that will make it easier for FF readers to directly see your actual picture, rather than a URL to it? I also use screencast (for SnagIt or Jing), but as you notice, the URL it creates to your snapshot is not itself the actual ...

I want to make you rich and I am going to give you $1000

Re your EURUSD, H1 chart ... You wrote "pending BUY triggered", but I'm guessing that's a typo, right? Two hours earlier, it was a pending SELL trade, which makes more sense to me. With respect to Measured Moves, I had felt the SELL line was perhaps ...
