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

I have seen that message if the generated chart name reported is NOT actually the same name that MT4 thinks it should be... and in my experience, it can never be opened in the first place. Your message implies that you were able to open the chart at ...

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

Yes, "Symbol()" on a 2-Month chart returns "EURUSD_x2", and that's why it won't work on the lower timeframes (60 and 240) which return "0". I can see a benefit to leaving the Symbol() name unchanged for the higher timeframes, however, you will still ...

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

Hi circlesquare, If I understand your point, there is no "bug" with "P4L PeriodCon.mq4" generating any chart you want, of any timeframe, and any offset. Rather, there are limitations with using those generated charts with other indicators. If those ...

It's working fine for me, and yes, the generated "offline" chart should update live, as long as the source chart is live and remains open in your session. (If you close the source chart, the live updates will stop). You first open a normal H1 chart. ...

Traderathome, I will post a new version after I test it with a live market feed. I added several new timezones and incorporated several of the UI changes you suggested. Looks good. Last chance to make any additional suggestions or clarifications ...

New very cool CandleTime and session time Clock indicators

I notice that there is a miner flaw with your code as to how it places the labels in a subwindow instead of the main window. When I open a new chart and add your version of the code, it opens up a separate indicator window (because you used ...

New very cool CandleTime and session time Clock indicators

Hi traderathome, I'm glad you like the indicator. Adding a small number of zones that correspond to major world markets makes sense, but adding every world timezone is impractical because of the large number of them (95). There are not just 24 zones ...

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

So perhaps something else you would add to an otherwise standard 6-second bar chart would be to put in gaps where there are no ticks. The same issue exists for M1 and M5 and, rarely, higher timeframes, where the market has no ticks for such a long ...

tick beat indicator

I don't have any ideas for how to code this up with MT4, but my comment to you is that in order to make the bars even in time, you're really talking about something like far-shorter timeframes like "6second". I've never seen S6 charts but have heard ...
