Marcin, here's the MQL4 function for MACD: iMACD(ccy,tf,12,26,9,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_MAIN,i) where 12, 26 and 9 represent the fast EMA, slow EMA and signal SMA respectively (note: MT4's MACD uses a SMA rather than an EMA to calc the signal line - see my ...

Dito, I was merely attempting to summarize the post. I'm not saying that I either agree or disagree with it. At the end of the day, it all comes down to percentages, IMHO. For example, a $20,000 loss is only 2% if you're trading a $1m account. ...

Is anybody having problems with version 1.23? — Hi everybody, I'm almost ready to release v 1.24, which addresses most of the enhancements requested by Pips4life (see prior posts). However, no matter how I try, I can't reproduce the crash ...

Hi Kent, I'm definitely not the world's most experienced MQL4 programmer, but as far as I know, both you and Royce are correct. I agree that it seems strangely inconsistent that you can change an object name in MT4, but that the name (and also the ...

Help! Any easy way to rename or copy objects in an MQ4 indicator program?

Hi Pips4life, I've implemented all of the changes that you suggested. Additionally, FFcal.EXE now jumps to the "Build.CSV" screen (or the "Initial Setup" screen, the first time it is run) immediately the program is run, i.e. it's as if F5 has been ...

Hi Pips4life, Well, I've succumbed to the temptation to implement much of this, albeit in my own way, as I've tried to leave the existing functionality intact, so that existing users won't need to re-educate themselves. Hence I've added these as new ...

Hi Pips4life, By a poll, I meant that you could concisely post your suggestions here, and simply ask for a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response from existing users. However, I don’t really want to change things around too much if I can help it, for fear of ...

Thanks for your feedback — Hi Pips4life, Thanks for your comments. Ordinarily I’d be happy to implement many of your suggestions, when I get some spare time. However, from feedback that I get, I believe that there could be as many as 100 ...

Yet another approach to the time zone settings — Here's an even easier way: 1. To establish current date/time of FF calendar (i.e. New York), go to: url See Image #1 below. 2. To establish your MT4 broker's date/time, go to any 1 minute (M1) ...

Sorry, I missed answering this point in my previous post. The error suggests that Plot_News was unable to open the news.csv file. I suspect that it's most likely caused by Plot_News being unable to find the file. It must be named news.csv and exist ...

Hi Pips4life, Thanks for your post! First some general comment, as a reminder to everybody: Plot_News/FFcal.EXE was originally created for my own use, and being a programmer, it is arguably not very user-friendly. The absolute bottom line is that ...
