Trying to code for setting beginning daily balance

I think you should read url You are confusing the issue in trying to store your account balance in a variable declared in the EA as no other instances of the EA (e.g. the other 19 on the other charts) can access such variables. If you store the ...

You might fix some issues by running the program in compatibility mode (Probably with W7), see below. url Regards Paul.

MT4 & Windows 10 compatibility

It is creating 256 objects over the last (default) 15 bars. When you change the chart timeframe to H4 or Daily there are too many objects in too small a space to make it useable. You would have to reduce the value of CountPeriods or make some lines ...

The spread is simply the difference in points between Bid and Ask prices for any given instrument. The values in different a/c currencies are also the same if you convert AUD to GBP ( or GBP to AUD) before comparing them. An exception may be if they ...

Do spreads depend on the account base currency?

Can you be more specific on the lot sizes for 3 digit pairs, how is it incorrect? It is not always easy to look at someone's code and determine the issue without much info. Regards, Paul.

Just a guess but it looks like you are constantly checking the current bar in your loop which will fulfill the checked conditions as it grows during the day. Would you not want to only check completed bars? for(int i=1;i<Bars;i++) Regards, Paul.

The break operator terminates the execution of the nearest nested outward switch, while, do-while or for operator. if(aa && bb && cc) { redSf=i; break; } Also, just for clarity, I would change aa, bb, cc to be of type bool type rather than double. ...

How to get the Shift of 1st Group in a Loop

As you say, the mq4 files are readable source code, the ex4 files are the compiled executable from the source. You can place a mq4 file in your MT4 directory and your MT4 will compile it on startup. You download a file (source or executable) to ...

Questions about mq4 and ex4 files

I don't know the site or the tool but looking at your rules, it appears the shift parameter being zero would probably refer to the current bar (the bar still forming). I'd say you want to refer to the previous bar (shift 1) to work with values of ...

Hi Peter, Thanks for the info. You have got it spot on... Regards, Paul.

Ugh, I can't do math

The issue I've found with currency strength and related approaches is judging the duration of the strength/weakness and trading that either directly or in conjunction with some other method. A currency could be strong/weak for a few minutes/hours, ...

Hi nd, Would it not be easier to just use the spreadsheet? I trust you know that it's DDE aware and will update itself directly from MT4. Regards, Paul.

Ugh, I can't do math

Thanks Retep, That'll give you percentage change between a pair which, as you say, can then be compared between currencies(strengths or whatever you're looking at). Last thing I was looking at that related to this it was interesting to note that all ...

I'd say you've over thunk it lol. If you look at a USDJPY chart that's moved 173 pips and your mate is looking at a JPYUSD chart, his will also have moved 173 pips ( I'd hope ). So in your case I'd just put the inverted pip value [edit: should have ...

Ugh, I can't do math

e.g. 1 USD = 110.749001 JPY and 1 JPY = 0.009029 USD (or 1 / 110.749001 = 0.009029 ) What's gone wrong? Don't forget by swapping round you're now quoting in USD, not JPY Regards, Paul

Ugh, I can't do math

I think the issue of freezing/hanging the terminal is related to the recent history being available or not. Applying dashboard to an instance that is up to date with history bars for all pairs & timeframes is no problem, all works fine. However, if ...

I'll have a look later. Upon clicking OK to the parameter selections it shows the hourglass and terminal is immediately unresponsive. Not sure if I'll be able to get at any details printed in the output... Thanks, Paul.
