Worked perfectly for me (compiled with 0 errors at the first attempt). See screenshot. Did you follow pips4life's instructions correctly? Or if this doesn't work on your computer, you could simply delete the mq4 file and download the ex4 file from ...

'Room to move' indicator

The latest Plot News software is available here (read the provisos carefully!), but I think you might be referring to this indicator. Also, there is a lot of info in this thread, do a FF search for 'NCI' to obtain an explanation of what it does, and ...

'Room to move' indicator

Just visiting (courtesy of a 'Get out of Jail Free' card). This indicator doesn't seem to replot itself during a backtest in MT4 Tester. I have no idea how Tester works**, and since I don't use it, there's no reason for me to investigate ...

'Room to move' indicator

Retail behavior is explained here. I don't have a data source that informs which SL orders are specifically 'retail' (the closest thing that I'm aware of is a non-specific order book plot, e.g. something like this), nor an indicator that paints ...

Plot long/short retail positions (from myfxbook) on MT4 chart

Yes, it's normal behavior. Histogram was originally plotted using fixed-position text labels. Summary was added later, and being line-based it must use buffers, which means it scrolls with price.

CSM indicator (hanover)

Color, width, style can all be set using PlotVerticalLine setting. See post #1. Sorry, but I'm not planning to implement anything like this at this point (a suitably calibrated oscillator, or weekly/monthly pivot levels, are arguably a decent proxy ...

'Room to move' indicator

Assuming you're referring to the image in post #16, it can happen when SmoothingSMA is set to a value > 1.

CSM indicator (hanover)

The software in post #1 can (among other things) plot all of the myfxbook data as a timeseries, under the relevant MT4 candles. The first screenshot below is the result of applying the myfxbook_hanover1 template (after the download app has been ...

Plot long/short retail positions (from myfxbook) on MT4 chart

Agree. Some possible reasons: 1. There are easier and risk-free ways for brokers to make money without any effort: spread, commissions, swap differential. And they can 'A-book' the novices and losers, and simply run their own automated ...

Your EA is being HACKED! Time to migrate!

It looks like a weekend gap to me. Below is a screenshot from my broker (Axitrader) for GBPJPY,M5 and the candle shapes are much the same. Last candle for me before the gap is Friday 23 Aug 23:55 and next one is Monday 26 Aug 00:00. Axitrader is an ...

Gaps/hacks in the charts and can one avoid them? New comment

Your pic doesn't show the pair or timeframe, which could be significant. Anyway, answers to your numbered points: 1) Sadly no. 2) Gaps. 3) If the gaps occur over the weekend, they are the difference between Friday's closing price and Monday's ...

Calculator for various stop loss size in currency

Try the attached. I made a small change and ran it on a AUD-denominated demo account. I checked the result and I'm fairly sure that it's correct. The formula is: number_of_lots = amount_at_risk / SLpips / tickvalue, rounded down to the nearest 0.01 ...

(binned per thread starter’s request) Position size calc code

Indicator was originally written in 2009 before commissions or MT5 existed. I've never bothered to install MT5. MQ4 is attached but it's so old that I'm not sure if it will compile properly on the latest MT4 builds. If you get compile errors you ...

Short Bid and Ask Lines Indicator Needed

These settings deliver the result shown, at least on my MT4 (Axitrader build 1170). However there may be additional settings that I just happen to have switched on but am unaware of.

I cannot see the line for the opened buy/sell orders on the chart. Pls help!

This is the one that I use:

CSM indicator (hanover)

I'm sorry, but I don't know how to fix this, at least not without being able to see the mq4 file that you're trying to compile. All of my old indicators and EAs compile OK using the build 509 compiler. Maybe one of the programmers who's more ...
