I will code your EAs and Indicators for no charge

Sorry Best i omitted the screenshot

Please can someone help check out this indicator, Once i save as a template and load that template it doesn't show

Thanks got 'em

I need a simple non-intrusive indicator that will show the previous candle color for Month, Week, and Day. Colors: green and red.
This info will show at the top left side of the chart.

Dear Reader,
Recently I switched from MT4 to MT5.
But what I miss is my MT4 EA.
Is there a Coder here who can and will convert my EA to MT5?
And also add a trade time start and a trade time end in hours and minutes?
I would be very gratefu.
Sincerely,
Herman de Geus

Requesting for an expert to place a stop loss by ticket at break even plus commission plus total accumulated swap over multiple days

So if I take a trade I am leave it open for let say 3 months the expert automatically calculate the swap for 3 months and keep updating everyday

So this meaning that by ticket it will be adjusting stop at
Order open price plus order commission plus order swap for the buy trade
And something similar for the sell trade

In addition to that it will also place a cross mark with every open trade to close the order by ticket

hi

.. try this one









have a nice day (:

what timeframe? and currency pair.

Thanks for that mate, unfortunately, none of those do what I'm looking for. Suppose I want a session from 00:00 to 09:00. I'd like a rectangle (as in the indicator I've provided) that covers every bar from 00:00 to 08:59. The indicator shouldn't cover any bar from 09:00.

Hello jeanlouie,

Thank you for creating this session open line indicator! I find it very useful for plotting specific times on my chart and it even includes the option to change the minutes which I needed. I just have a simple request: to make the lines/text unselectable so that the lines and text won't be selected and changed accidentally.

Thank you very much!

Here you go... took about 10 min using Claude. This compiles now with 0 errors and 0 warnings ...

Key changes made to fix the errors:

1. Replaced all extern variables with input
2. Added Trade.mqh include for MT5 trading functions
3. Used CTrade class instead of OrderSend/OrderModify
4. Updated order management functions for MT5's split between positions and orders
5. Replaced MT4 order types with MT5 equivalents
6. Updated indicator handling to use MT5's buffer copying
7. Removed deprecated functions like RefreshRates
8. Used proper MT5 position and order information functions
9. Fixed point calculation using _Point instead of Point
10. Implemented proper error checking for indicator data

Claude added:


Let me break down how this MT4 Expert Advisor works. It's an automated trading system based on the Envelopes indicator with some specific entry and risk management rules.

Here's the core logic:

1. Entry Strategy:

1. The EA uses the Envelopes indicator (a variation of moving averages that creates upper and lower bands)
2. Default period is 3 and deviation is 0.07
3. It looks for potential trades when price significantly deviates from the Envelopes bands
4. Buy Signal: When price is above the upper envelope by more than the specified Distance (140 points by default)
5. Sell Signal: When price is below the lower envelope by more than the specified Distance

1. Order Management:

1. Places pending orders (BUYSTOP and SELLSTOP) rather than immediate market orders
2. The pending orders are placed Enter_Point (30 points by default) away from current price
3. Only allows one trade at a time (checks CountMyOrders before opening new positions)
4. Has spread filter (Max_Spread = 10 points by default)
5. Default risk parameters:
   1. Take Profit: 50 points
   2. Stop Loss: 100 points
   3. Fixed lot size: 0.01

   
   

1. Risk Management Features:

1. Trailing Stop functionality (if enabled)
   1. Trails positions by Trailing_Stop points (30 by default)

   
   

2. Order modification logic:
   1. Adjusts pending orders if price moves significantly
   2. Deletes pending orders if spread exceeds maximum allowed

   
   

3. Has built-in slippage control (15 points default)

1. Technical Details:

1. Uses magic number (924578) to identify its orders
2. Handles different digit formats (2, 3, or 5 digits)
3. Includes proper order modification checks
4. Has functions for calculating proper stop loss and take profit levels based on broker's minimum stop level

The EA essentially tries to catch strong momentum moves after price has significantly deviated from the Envelopes bands, while incorporating various risk management features to protect positions.
Key thing to note: This is a mean reversion strategy - it's looking for price to return to the mean after significant deviations from the Envelopes bands, rather than following the trend. The relatively tight stop loss (100 points) compared to the entry threshold (140 points deviation) suggests it's designed for quick reversals rather than long-term trend following.

Note: I did not test in Strategy tester in MT5, just MT4. You may need to further tweak it. Good luck. JNevins

What you posted, alone, isn't a code which would plot anything in MQL4.
In order for this to plot anything, you need to code the DrawLine() function and also you need to place the code in the indicator's structure (template).

If you want the rectangle to plot from 00:00 to 08:59, you need to input "00:00" and "08:59" in the input parameters.
If you input "00:00" to "09:00", that's what you'll get.
Of course, this can only be achieved on the M1 timeframe.
There is no 08:59" on Tfs higher than M1.

I cannot believe anyone (me) can be so dumb

Mr. Jnevins,

Thank you very much for your work, and so fast!
I opened the MT5 file but dit not see the trade time settings I also asked for.
Please can you make that too?

"And also add a trade time start and a trade time end in hours and minutes?"
I would be very gratefull.
Sincerely,
Herman de Geus {file}

Good point

session open lines v1.3
- indicator objects are not selectable

Okay, Now I turned to Chat:

To add a start time and end time for your MT5 EA to take trades, you can modify the OnTick function to check if the current time falls within the specified range. Here's the updated version of your EA, which includes two new input parameters: StartTime and EndTime. These parameters allow you to specify the time window in which the EA is allowed to open trades.
