While the above code may work it's a bit of a kludge. Try using the iHour and iMinute and specify PERIOD_M1 as the time frame. Read about them in the help file. Regards Lux

Mql4 Coding Help

T4F - The fix above should work but I would also suggest you get into the habit of using curly braces too. For example... if(bCanTrade == true){ // do some stuff... }else if(iOrderCnt > 0){ // do some stuff... }else{ // do something else... } It'll ...

finnished my first indicator now want to add EA to it. a few questions.

Sounds like your talking about a select box. No you can't do that in mql. Lux

If possible put your indicator code in the EA. Just start a new EA project and create a function called CheckSignal that returns an integer. Check for a signal using the code you created for the indicator within it and return op_buy or op_sell or if ...

finnished my first indicator now want to add EA to it. a few questions.

I'm always suspicious when somebody posts code in an ex4. If you're being genuinely altruistic like I and many other real coders are around here then post the mql file. If you have other motives then don't bother. I often wonder whether it's because ...

New trader needs advice on a EA

Yes you could have a separate EA that would have the same magic number as the first EA and would therefore be able to access the orders it placed. The problem I could see though is if you are deleting pending orders that the first EA has placed then ...

EMA SMA Signal Alert Question

I assume it's in a loop then and is incrementing i each time. Again I'd assume it starts at 1. Change that to 0 or better yet just post the indicator and I'll do it quickly for you. Lux

EMA SMA Signal Alert Question

The indicator you're using is set to check on close of bar so just change the 1 at the end to 0 and it'll check the currently forming bar. You'll see things like this... iMA(NULL,0,13,8,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,1); Change the 1 to 0 and you're all good. ...

EMA SMA Signal Alert Question

Well you can disable dll calls in the indicators properties but I'm not sure how this will help fix your problem. I would imagine the vendor is just trying to protect their intellectual property. They have no way of knowing if you're a genuine ...

There's a few ways you could do it depending on what you need and how often you want alerts. You could set a static variable when it sends an email that would a value representing the current color. Keep checking that variable. If it's the same as ...

Send Email Functionality for this indicator

You can't change the normal text comments that usually appear top-left but if you want to do that use objects instead. Lux

Can you we customize the color or size of comments()?

Which it would do by default anyway so as I say the code is redundant. Which is the problem the OP is trying to address. I've already suggested a solution and I think he's solved his problem now so no need for further discussion. Lux

That code makes no sense because you're comparing like with like. Your statement basically says if 1=1 and 2=2 then do something. The test will always be true. It also doesn't look like it would address the problem of what do do when the EA is ...

That'll work. Just watch out though if you happen to open up a trade on the same pair because your EA will start managing that too which may not be what you want. Good luck Lux

Use a script to open trades and that way you can assign the same magic number. You can either write one or find one posted around the Internet. Lux

I would imagine it's because stop losses are not always honored over the weekend. Similar situation for news spikes too. LUx
