Mess Things Up — This sounds like a good way to mess up your head for a long time. Years ago I remember taking a trade to within 2 pips of the reversal. After that I started to try repeating that with every trade. In my mind a losing trade was ...

Max and Min price reached in every trade Indicator / EA

Try This — Not sure what you meant by security warning; you should be very specific. I can't imagine its a Excel version problem. Anyway, I will take a guess. In MT4, DDE has to be enabled. You do this on the Options menu choice under Tools. ...

Quick fix for simple problem. Thank you : )

Try This — I haven't actually coded what you are asking for, so I am not going to attempt a quick bit of code that may or may not work. Here is the approach I would take. Use DayofWeek() to determine today's value. Monday is 1 so if today is ...

MQ4 - How to draw vline x to right of highest bar

Try This — Think of the problem in slightly different terms. Think of XP vs Vista or Windows 7. I am sure that the EA works as it should and the file is there. But unless you install MT4 in the proper directory, it is difficult to see files in ...

MetaTrader demo question

Try This — What you are attempting to do is not easy because of the way MT4 handles trades. Looping seems to be a waste of resources to me, but until MT5 is available, I don't know any other way. I recently did something like this and sent out ...

why can't I see recently added trades

No — You seem to have a good grasp of the situation and have provided the answer to your question. No there isn't a way to do it with the MT4 platform. A script or EA could handle this for you if you have the coding skills. You could try ...

Keep plotted lines on TF change?

Not Clear — OK, so you are plotting vertical lines when a certain event happens on a chart. I don't use lines, instead I use arrows and symbols. For the sake of argument, we can use Fractals as an example. The Fractals on one TF are not the ...

Misunderstanding? — Indicators don't "keep" lines, they calculate them. So an MA on a 5M is not kept when switching to the 15M and vice versa. Perhaps you are referring to some sort of MTF (multiple time frame) indicator that you have seen ...

Keep plotted lines on TF change?

Try This — I must be tired to have missed that. But I'm still not sure exactly what you are after. The previous candle is indexed 1 the current one is 0. Therefore the highest point is High[0]. It would help to post an image if its any more ...

Try This — This is as about as simple as it gets. This will look at the current and previous bars high/lows. Not sure why you used iHigh instead of High because you were looking at the chart's pair. int nbars = 2;// or whatever double ...
