Hi euclid, Your method to obtain TZinfo is very good. I wish I knew your method a couple years ago when I implemented the current manual TZ definition in the code (for which the values come from tedious steps of changing my computer clock to each ...

New very cool CandleTime and session time Clock indicators

You're welcome and glad you like it. Regards to Singapore, it is already the same time zone as "China" in the indicator. Jakarta is an hour earlier. To add a timezone is complicated and would be a little tough for a non-programmer. To make small ...

New very cool CandleTime and session time Clock indicators

Hi Selym_co, Nice simple program. (A good start). Some observations/corrections/suggestions: * I liked the random color method you used, and that you assigned the first 5 pitchfork colors. It's probably unusual to display more than 5, but I was ...

Hi ForexQuant, If you went into your Account History and you actually did find just a single line with "1.60" lots that was in fact closed in two separate actions, then I'm out of suggestions for you. I was expecting that the original-order would be ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Ok, I'm glad to be corrected. Maybe my understanding was the way it used to be before the "Get Paid for Limit Orders", or perhaps I'm just flat out wrong about the way it is AND the way it used to be. This paragraph then makes the behavior make more ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

From your other posts which I glanced at, you're not a "newbie" at trading, and you offer intelligent comments on various topics which I respect. That said, I don't know what your programming skills are. 4 years ago, I was an MT4 newbie programmer, ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

No it isn't. The lack of a volume/lots parameter has nothing to do with it, and that's not the problem at all. This error message is exactly the correct error message I would expect if your EA has partially closed an order, and then attempted to do ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

What you described sounds like a bug. If you have any open order (from an EA or a manual open) as shown in your Terminal window->Trade tab, and if you select that order and try to Close or Modify it and it doesn't let you, that is a SERIOUS bug that ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Perhaps you're missing my point... When you start with an original order (e.g. order #3000001) of, say 1.6 mini-lots size, and your EA TRIES to close all 1.6 lots but instead it only gets a partial close 1.0 lots, then yes THAT order (#3000001) can ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

When you work with an ECN broker like MBT, one should expect the possibility of partial fills and make sure your EA code knows how to handle it. It seems to me your EA will need some enhancements in it to 1) Detect the partial close, and 2) Tell the ...

New "P4L Clock.mq4" v2_10 in post #1 — See post #1 for the latest update: My apologies to the 9 people that downloaded the recent v2_9 release in which I introduced an error with the "Berlin" timezone. That is now fixed in "v2_10". ...

How to add an icon to your LineStudies icon-menu — As was described by realjumper, you can access all of the MT4 various objects (including Pitchforks) using the "Insert" menu. FYI, a 3-keystroke shortcut for this is: Alt i a (Why? The "Alt" ...

New very cool CandleTime and session time Clock indicators

If you are creating an EST feed by using -7H timeshift, then your broker feed must be GMT+2, right? And that particular GMT+2 feed happens to be the one most likely to have just 5 Daily-bars-per-week. The "Day" would start on Sunday 5PM EDT (00:00 ...

Hi Peter, It's your journal and you of course can post charts any way you want... but if it's not too much to ask, I would appreciate to see the vertical price axis and horizontal time access to make it easier to duplicate your charts on my feed. I ...

Trading Median Lines & Market Structure

Cash vs. Futures for Pitchforks — Forkers, I trade Cash FX and draw forks almost exclusively on Cash prices. I know that Futures prices can vary somewhat, and for something like a Pitchfork, it can change the slope of the object. Even a small ...

Haha, talk about whipsaws... EU -55 one minute, the next +98. Now down -65 in 5 more minutes. Exactly 24 hours and 5 minutes after yesterday's CHF bank intervention. In London it's 9:15A and they must be in the mood to shake things up. P.S. Maybe it ...

EU D1 fork, and H1 closeup — Longer term forks work too, even if you have to wait weeks/months for touches. The H1 closeup shows the Andrews 1st Warning touch touched exact (0.9 pip overshoot) and bounced about 63 before it broke the same line ...

Nice layout of charts. With respect to your comment that "Go Markets already has 5 daily candles", how did they implement that? Do they provide 5 different MT4 install files? Or does the user pick from among 5 data servers where each of the data ...

Improved multi-timeframe/offset/chart period converter, P4L PeriodCon.mq4

MT4 isn't very flexible in this regard and to make it work at all requires some kind of compromise. Timeshifts are a useful feature, but there has to be a change to either the symbol name or the period. MT4 requires a unique combination or it won't ...
