Hi rangebound, Thanks so much for the tips. It turns out I reached the same conclusions as you for both my problems. GetParent(...) was the key for the code problem and my independent rewrite is virtually the same as yours (though it was your ...

Hi rangebound, There were some problems using the code you suggested but with some changes I'm getting much closer. I have a related question to ask... (Background) I can see how to create a list of window handles and go through that list looking ...

I couldn't stand how clumsy and limited MT4 is with respect to Pitchforks (and other areas), so over the last couple of years, I wrote my own "P4L Object Manager" that performs a huge number of tasks, among them the drawing of pitchfork variations ...

Sorry, been gone all day but am now getting around to responding... Most MT4 feeds do have an extra (usually Sunday) bar but that's not due to where they're based. The feed I'm using is also based in NY, yet it is completely their choice as to how ...

Scrutch, your chart on #649 has Sunday bars. That means 6-bars-per-week, however, your lines look pretty good, and almost the same as my 5-day-per-week equivalent. It seems as if your daily 00:00 occurs at maybe 11PM NY ? I'm guessing by eyeballing ...

Hey Scrutch... You'll get no "argument" from me on definitions, but perhaps a brief attempt to persuade you. I based my definitions on some historical evidence, and also on arguably the most authoritative current resource on Medianlines which would ...

Glad to keep you company. What will keep my interest the most, I have to say, is folks giving posts about some fresh trade opportunities as they happen. It's frustrating to see perfect fork bounces well after the fact when it's no longer quite as ...

Hi Scrutch, PeterE, Good to see some serious discussion of PF issues and techniques. With respect to the various start-of-day times, I haven't really found a way to use a given MT4 feed and synthesize different Daily bars. I know there are tools to ...

Thanks Kenz987. Those are good resources for code but there are plenty of "bad" EA's mixed in with the good, and either way, there are hundreds of possibilities. I am still looking for people's opinions about which specific EA's are the best written ...

Looking for well written EAs and tips for writing same

Hi David, Regarding my version of "P4L Plot_News.mq4", you can provide it separately if you don't prefer the changes I made. It just occurred to me that I compare versions trivially and I wonder if you have a similar method. I use the freeware ...

FFcal - Plot News indicator

Hi David, I considered exactly this approach before but there were always exceptions and so I wrote the custom getPoint routine to more universally handle any currency, exotic pair, metal, index, etc. I'm not saying I've tested it completely and it ...

FFcal - Plot News indicator

David, while I'm thinking about it... Does FFcal.exe read the actual FF calendar page, or is there some other page that you parse to get the data? The details don't actually matter to me, but what I'm wondering is do you have access to whether the ...

FFcal - Plot News indicator

Hi David, I made a few changes to Plot_News.mq4 which is attached. ("P4L Plot_News.mq4" is based on v1.37) It would be my preference that if you agree with the changes that you just rename it and provide it as your official Plot_News.mq4 file, but ...

You could try these that I posted Sep 2008: url "New very cool CandleTime and session time Clock indicators " "P4L CandleTime.mq4" is what you want, but "P4L Clock.mq4" is also very handy for world session times that auto-correct for ST/DST ...

When I run FFcal.exe, the "Enter" key works for me to run the script. (I use XP). After it runs, an "Escape" key quits the database editor, then I hit the top-right "X" to quit the program. It is a trivial 3 keystrokes for me and works every time. ...
