You might be better off using forextester. I won't break the rules and post a link, so search google for it. It's inexpensive and well worth it IMO. BTW, a greatly enhanced version is going to come out soon (1-3 months??). Might either want to wait ...

Any equivalent way to "Sleep()" in an indicator? — Hi Rabid, One more question about your code to read/write files... what did you have in mind to cause the program to kill 100ms in between attempts? As an indicator, the Sleep() ...

How can I detect a specific TF to diff-TF change? Static doesn't work.

Hi Rabid, I'm sure this idea to add an object with the timeframe is going to work. I just didn't think enough out of the box. Thanks also for the code example. I'll get around to working with read/write of external files to transfer data at some ...

How can I detect a specific TF to diff-TF change? Static doesn't work.

Mima, this is a common problem with using IE to download this zip file (No one knows why...). I use FireFox. From Post #1: David, this portion of Post #1 is now out-of-date with the latest release:

Am not sure if such spikes are local to your broker or more universal. My broker presents a pretty raw feed (for live trades) and I do see such spikes. However, when I called them about it recently, they said in most cases, they try to filter such ...

I was hoping for a different answer although this is likely the way it is. Can you point me to any examples of doing read/write to a file or files when the indicator is attached to several charts? I don't want to get trapped by "permission denied" ...

Yup, didn't think of that and yours is the best answer.

Am I to understand that VT Trader has these weekend prices for PAST weekends as well as the current weekend? And if so, I think I recall VT Trader can be downloaded as a free demo, right? (with weekend price access?) Thanks in advance for ...

Auslanco - GBP/JPY and GBP/USD (newstrade)

FYI, I won't say these weekend prices are meaningful or not. I remember seeing crazy +300 pip (??) prices on March 15-16 (?? or some other weekend, sorry), only to see it gap down on March 17 by -79 pips and THEN go down another 700+ pips in a mere ...

And one more suggestion just to make a complete nuisance of myself (which you can happily ignore if you like, lol)... I never know at a glance if you have updated the doc files in Post #1, but if the names included dates or whatever was the version ...

Hi David, Apologies in advance for the hassle these changes have been... You need to change one line in Plot_News.mq4 from v1.31c: Problem: if (AutoRefresh == true && curr_min > prev_min) { When the above curr_min reaches 59, that's the LAST ...

Hi chandra, dumbmoney, My guess is dumbmoney already defined the variable outside the start() block but still experienced problems. He can, of course, confirm how he defined the variable. My assumption was he did so and yet still experienced ...

Hi Chandra, Thanks for your attempt at a solution, but unfortunately I tried this approach and it still doesn't work. The problem is that when you change timeframes, deinit() is called, and then so is the section outside of start(), and init() is ...

Are EX4 files compiled using XP compatible with Vista MT4? — Uh... I don't have Vista and have no interest in upgrading until I absolutely have to. I stumbled upon this topic and I would like to ask: 1. Is there any difference between EX4 ...

You didn't say how you initialized your variable "myTime". If it was outside of start (i.e. global variable), you maybe tried "datetime myTime = 0;". If it was inside of start(), perhaps you did "static datetime myTime;". A 3rd alternative could ...

The BIG Monthly EURUSD medianline set (pitchfork) picture(s) — FYI, four Monthly EURUSD charts with medianline sets (pitchforks), and parallels (both 50% and 100%). (I don't usually follow the EU pair, and I didn't draw these until today, ...

Andrews Pitchfork (Median Line)

I can't really tell exactly where your original pitchforks are at with a zillion parallels added. I'm not saying this isn't valid -- I do the same myself -- but you are zoomed in so tight I don't see the big picture. I could spend the time analyzing ...

Of course you're right. But I swear I was confounded by some strange behavior in that I had made the corrections to eCount yet I still saw my Reminder text. It finally went away when I passed it by reference, but... I've seen other strange ...
