There is a trivial flaw in my script's use of a statement to detect whether run on a "weekend" vs. normal market hours. A message about it being run on the weekend does not work as intended, either not appearing at all, or appearing always ...

BID/ASK prices differ on ORDER window than shown on charts

Hi Nicholishen, The UI changes are good, getting closer. Some comments: * Regarding your comment , "In hindsight I should have hyphenated the title as Chart-Study-Profile Manager." It's easy to miss, but for a limited time at least, a thread OP can ...

Chart Study Profile Manager (CSPM)

The difference between chart Bid/Ask vs. the Order window Bid/Ask prices is -- unfortunately, because it's confusing -- a normal way some brokers display prices. The Order window Bid/Ask are a tighter spread if your broker offers you a discount, ...

BID/ASK prices differ on ORDER window than shown on charts

Hi Nicholishen, Another great tool from you, thanks. I'm still getting used to it, but I have a few initial impressions and suggestions. * Since it has nothing to do with MT4 "Profiles", the word "Profile" is a bit misleading. No big deal, but I've ...

Chart Study Profile Manager (CSPM)

As soon as you turn off Auto Scroll, a triangle appears in the lower-left corner, which you can left-click-and-drag where desired. Then as you said, when you switch TF's, that line is an anchor-of-time that attempts to display the new chart with the ...

MT4 navigational tips and techniques

Hi teabreak, have you made progress? Learning to code is worth the effort. Nicholishen, thanks a lot for the OOP examples here and elsewhere (Keep them coming!). I've been diving into it a bit and learning a few helpful things. Questions for ...

Hi Nicholishen, ... Caution to users. That script has some big issues, but you did say it was just an "example script", so thanks for that. Wow. OOP code. Interesting stretch for my brain since I write C-style. I was exposed to the concepts in a ...

Strange that I never paid attention to that tooltip detail. Thanks! image

Saving chart tabs order

That's really bizarre, but is the way it is. Depending on how "Bars" is vs. "prev_calculated", if always the same number, it might have accuracy issues for *some* indicators, depending on how written, because they might not update properly. You ...

Saving chart tabs order

Go5, dkrock, or anyone who uses a small "Max bars on chart" number like 2000: Can you please run the attached indicator and post back here if it Alerts, ever (with the default input AlertMode=3) ? It will be silent, no alert when added nor on MT4 ...

Saving chart tabs order

For the record, that information is incorrect. I set my "max bars in chart" limit to 2000 bars, restarted MT4 (mandatory to take effect), then ran a simple indicator that at each new bar, it compares "Bars" to the previous count. Though it starts at ...

Saving chart tabs order

Hi David (hanover), The font size/scaling between the two pictures is obviously different. I ran into this issue on an MT4 indicator (made by somebody else) just the other day, and I see the same thing for this auto-hotkey .exe The cause is: In my ...

Load MT4 price history application

I wish I knew the answer as well. On the same topic, I posted a query to an old MQL thread HERE, asking... Are there MT4 commands to: 1a) Minimize (i.e. Iconify), or 1b) Maximize a chart window, or 2) A way to detect what is the current status. ...

Saving chart tabs order

Good for you to take my advice and put the pieces together. Besides what Mladen already pointed out, I can see that you have nested if/then loops that look like they should instead be one after the other. It makes no sense to have an "if" that ...

I will code your EAs and Indicators for no charge

I would suggest you go about it with something along these lines: //main level // Some external vars: input bool AlertsEnabled = true; input double MaxTinyWick_pips = 1.0; // A wick <= 1.0 "true" pips // Some global vars: double myPoint, ...

It is EXTREMELY RUDE to post your spam in *9* threads at nearly the same time!! (7 in an hour, 2 more after 1/2 a day). Don't ever do it again! And NEVER spam in my threads! Mine are on-topic only, else go away!

Improved OrderHistory mq4 script to display trade history on charts

Hi Nicholishen, I too am searching for a better zigzag, for the main purpose of using the past pivots to draw useful objects, like Pitchforks, Fibos, channels, etc. I'm looking for an algorithm that: * detects engulfing bars and counts both the H/L ...

Most accurate ZigZag indicator?

I don't really fully understand what your asking for, specifically, but I'll guess. Regarding "adding (an) input filter", you already have the option as to how many weeks, or from some specific date, do you want to display trades for. (And as ...

Improved OrderHistory mq4 script to display trade history on charts

S&P 500 top? I see resistance here, in 2514-2518 range, and on smaller TF's too.

Charting with Median Lines

If an EA(?? maybe just Indicator??) creates Arrows using one of the buffers, couldn't one use iCustom to read those buffers and perhaps add a supplemental indicator that handles the alerts? If the Alert is intended to just detect "Arrow is present" ...
