Personally, I got a lot out of the GUI course over at learn mql4 dot com It's not free, but worth it to me. (I've zero affiliation and zero benefit for saying so). That said, it doesn't cover very much of the CCanvas class specifically, so it may ...

I will code your EAs and Indicators for no charge

Hi Botan, I appreciate your feedback. Regarding "1. On/Off button state is always off, because it doesn't look good imo when its state is off (pressed)." I see that a button gets a little lighter color when pressed, but this usually doesn't bother ...

Indicators with ON/OFF buttons

This video posted by Georgebaker was very helpful to me (Thanks George!) : However, since it still relies upon the full account number, it's not yet a solution for you. (I too am reluctant to disclose complete live account info to others, though the ...

Here you go. I have coded the button using better (IMO) OnChartEvent() code which is *far* more efficient that many other Button implementations. It processes the only event && object name that matters; all others are ignored. I recommend to other ...

Indicators with ON/OFF buttons

Like this? This is a bar_chart style (not candlestick), with two SMA(1)'s added. One is based on "High" prices, the other based on "Low" prices. The upper line connects all the highs together, and similarly the lower line connects all the lows. No ...

Decompilers create code with variables that start with one of a few prefixes, followed by just a pattern of numbers. No coder writing from scratch would ever just use simple prefixes plus *numbers* to distinguish between variable names, rather, one ...

I think this script I wrote some time ago can do at least some of what you want. It may seem that the main function is to draw your trades on a chart, but in fact it can also *output* your trades to a .csv file that you can open with Excel. The ...

I stumbled across this thread when I was searching for how to get an indicator to trigger a "Refresh". I found the solution in another thread which I turned into a function that, so far, works fine. It uses PostMessageA from the user32.dll Vaguely, ...

Issues with PostMessageW in MQL4

In case you're interested in a script that just does 'Close All Orders', but has options to distinguish between All_symbols vs. current symbol, and Open vs. Pending, and is actually FIFO compliant (necessary for U.S. brokers), I offer this: ...

I don't use MT5 and barely even look at MT5 coding problems. That said, you can set an object's description in MT5: string objName = ...; string desc = ...; ObjectSetString(0,objName,OBJPROP_TEXT,desc); // Unlike MT4, in MT5 (b3555, 23 Dec 2022), ...

Of most interest to me at the moment is to have the ability to have a sub-window indicator appear *conditionally*, based on how much room there is on the chart. When a chart is maximized, there's plenty of room, but when it's small, such as when ...

[MT4] Changing the visible timeframes of multiple objects?

I have thought a lot about MT4 "time" issues and what I've clarified over the years are these points: Personally, I avoid any reference to "GMT" because by supposed definition it never changes per any ST/DST schedule, but many people confuse it with ...

Volman meets Burke or My journey with PA

Rather than control the visibility of objects, does anyone know how an MT4 program can change the Indicator *Visualization* timeframe buttons? I'd really like to toggle the timeframe buttons for either the "All timeframes" choice, or to choose ...

[MT4] Changing the visible timeframes of multiple objects?

Possible reasons for the sharp rise and fall of the GER30 (DAX) market today would be the obvious Andrews AN+1.0 (UML) target(s). The exact target depends on the timeframe used, which is a normal and unavoidable ambiguity for such targets. Actual ...

STOP SPAMMING this thread! This thread is about a broker (GP), and NOT about trade calls, be they Gold, Silver or ANYTHING ELSE!

Global Prime - The World's Most Transparent ECN Broker?!

In another thread, I noticed this post showing USDCAD with 2015 and 2018 Close levels marked. It got me thinking about analyzing Yearly Close levels for more than just those two years, so I manually marked up a USDCAD,Daily chart with several years ...

Hi TableTop. Unfortunately I neither have the time, nor personal interest for my own purposes, to implement the features you're asking for. I'm not a breakout trader, preferring to use instead mainly pitchforks, fibs, and trendlines. Hopefully ...

Daily Boxes/Lines indicator

Ok, chalk this mistake up to my lack of familiarity with MT5, because as I mentioned before, I don't use it, and still have no interest to write code for MT5 until I am absolutely forced by my broker to convert to it -- which I hope will be never! ...

Daily Boxes/Lines indicator

To the ~6 people who already downloaded the "Daily LinesBoxes(1) MT5.mq5" file, I made a typo in v5.0. Please re-download the file, v5.1, from the previous post.

Daily Boxes/Lines indicator

Mostly out of curiosity, I did a conversion of the .mq4 to .mq5 for this indicator, plus most all of Hanover's library files too, actually. The manual steps to eliminate all errors and warnings, and to see it "work" were substantial, but I think it ...
