[EDIT] sorry I misunderstood your question. By doing what I described, you aren't recompiling MT4, only a .mq4 file (indicator or EA). The current compiler also continues to exist, allowing you to compile new .mq4 files (i.e. those coded after build ...

Looks like post #687 is now out of date. Thanks for pointing this out. Sorry for any inconvenience. I've updated the zip file with the latest mqh libraries. Try the instructions in post #1255 immediately above, and let me know if it fixes the ...

[Note: This replaces post #687, which is now out of date] MetaEditor/compiler for build 509 Back in February 2014, MetaQuotes changed their MQL4 programming language in the move from build 509 to build 600. As a result, many old indicators and EAs ...

I've made a small enhancement to display a legend, just to the left of the 'Trend Summary', showing the colors used for each currency (see the screenshot, which uses the default settings). Also fixed the lines "dropping off a cliff" issue. Download ...

Neil (and anybody else), I wasn't going to post again, but since you mentioned me, I'll try to explain one final time where I've been coming from. Hopefully more clearly this time. As I've said many times, I'm not a professional trader. (My ...

It's probably still operational, although most emails go through to my spam folder, and I ignore them. Also, you might want to read this before you take the time and effort to compose an email. If you're looking for coding help, please see my reply ...

Pair Strength Analyzer indicator

The problem, as I see it, is that slope is measured as pips divided by time, and pips are not uniform across different asset classes (or even for the same asset class across different MT4 brokers). Also, as you zoom in/out of the chart, the slope ...

If you download the latest version of PSA from post #1, any lowercase characters (small letters) in the symbol names should no longer be a problem. If you set RescaleUsingATR to %,10000 (see posts #253 and #341 for an explanation), you can easily ...

Outstanding info! I had the following post typed up, then I decided not to post it as I'd resolved to try harder to leave this place...... but then after reading your excellent comments, ah what the heck......... All indicators must use historical ...

You're welcome. Glad you like it. ________________ If you're willing to pay to have a programmer do the work, you could try MQL or upwork. There are many programmers who are happy to code for money. Or if you prefer to stay within the ...

Thank goodness it's a fx chart and not a heart monitor in a hospital. Here is my chart as it currently stands, and the parameter settings that I'm using. I simply opened a H4 chart, applied the 'myfxbook consolidated' template, and toggled ...

From this post: "RSI taken from Monthly, Weekly, daily and H4 as posted here. Two RSI readings RSI2 + RSI 9 and divided by eight for a master rating." Composite RSI indicator is attached, which performs the above calculation, and plots the result as ...

P4L, Thanks for the feedback. I've removed all reference to metatsock's indicator, as it appears that it no longer works (and perhaps he had commercial intentions that I was unaware of). I see that he's a commercial member now. Regarding ...

Sorry, but I haven't been able to reproduce your problem. The values change a little as I switch pairs using your buttons indicator, but I would expect small changes as the underlying FX prices are constantly moving (or somewhat larger changes on if ...

Thanks for your kind comments. Glad the indicators are working well for you. Just a quick word about the 'Currency Meter Pro' (in the top left of your final screenshot in post# 334). For better or worse, the displayed value is merely where ...

Honestly, I intend to leave, but I felt it would be irresponsible not to post some final words of caution. I hope that these come across as being realistic rather than negative. And please always remember that I'm a programmer, not a professional ...

Jeff,  FerruFX's strength meter is similar in appearance and extremely configurable.  Or (if you're looking for intraday strength/weakness) you could try the indicator shared by Erebus.  Or any of the links in the green typeface here. Hope that ...

Lol Neil, but thanks anyway. I see that even our blogger friend cites me as if I'm some kind of authority ("hanover says this....", "hanover confirms that...."), but the reality is that I'm not a serious trader, just a programmer who enjoys ...

If RSI is calculated using its usual formula (shown in the link), it's impossible for it to ever go over 100 or below 0. Just saying. url [NOTE: the link is provided merely for the RSI calculation formula, I'm not endorsing StockCharts or any ...
