Post #1 has a link to a github repository. I was able to download the files and copy the entire contents into the MQL4\Indicators\ folder. I was then able to compile the 'Multi-Chart-Sync-safe-button.mq4' file with the latest MT4. I added the ...

To learn about the features of this or any other indicator, I would always suggest to: * Explore what each variable does by just changing it and try to observe what happens. * If you have the source code, even if you're not a programmer, just ...

I am not having any trouble with the 30-Nov-2021 'News reader.ex4' downloaded from mladen's thread. It downloads news file(s) into the Open_Data_Folder -> MQL4/Files/ folder. If you add it to a chart, change TF's, click on a button (such as the"||" ...

In my source, I accidentally left the internal var 'debugmicro' as 'TRUE' which causes excessive Prints to the Experts->Log output. In the same location as before, see my updated v2_01 of P4L BoxFibo.mq4 posted here.

In my source, I accidentally left my internal var 'debugmicro' as 'TRUE' but had intended 'false'. An updated v2_01 of my P4L BoxFibo.mq4 is posted here. Your points -- "needlessly lengthy" and rewrite vs. retrofit -- are comments I partially agree ...

Hi Blue, Details, and a post of my v2_00 of P4L BoxFibo.mq4 is posted here. Functionally, apart from the On/Off button I added, it will mostly appear the same as what you already have, but as I described, there were a number of other bugs that I ...

Although I (and Jeanlouie) pointed out the simple bug + fix in the previous 'Box Fibo extra load.mq4' file, I also did a deeper dive into the code (original by Hanover in 2009), and spotted a number of other bugs and performance deficiencies that ...

(Post #1 will always have my latest official version) In another thread, a user asked about a bug in 'Box Fibo extra load.mq4', which itself is a modified version of Hanover's original BoxFibo.mq4 (2009). The specific bug was a trivial fix, however, ...

The problem is an easy fix. Line 55 sets "vLow = 999;" where "999" is an arbitrary value which it assumes is greater than the lowest-real-Low value. That assumption is valid for (most?) currencies, and Oil, but most indices and Gold will have Low ...

It would be best if you would post a complete code example -- even just a simple script -- that shows the problem. The fact is that "DoubleToStr(some_double_variable,4)" will do exactly what you want, which is to show 4 decimal places. It will ...

2023 status, for me: MT4 Email alerts stopped working recently (including b1380 (24-Mar 2023) ). It was already broken on the day before, 23-Mar, and it apparently broke sometime between 23-Mar and my last successful MT4 Email on Feb 20th. And yet, ...

The Sound folder is in located in the top MT4 *installation* folder, parallel to the terminal.exe file that you run to start MetaTrader. In normal installations, I don't even think there is an MQL4\ folder in that installation folder, *unless* you ...

My primary need is only to detect when a user does 'Ctrl+Z', but I just tested it again, and that key combo does not cause any KEYDOWN event. (The Ctrl key does, but not the Z while still holding the Ctrl down). However, you at least gave me an idea ...
MT4 slow? Test if your OnChartEvent is compatible with others

I like the concept. The implementation needs some tweaking: * The Experts Log is getting flooded with useless messages every 5 seconds. Example: 2023.03.25 20:52:58.648 MT4Disconnected NZDUSD,M15: LAST TEST CONNECTION OK: 05:52:57 That's far too ...

Hi Botan626. From your post, I have learned that an OnChartEvent event can toggle the CHART_EVENT_MOUSE_MOVE chart property. I would assume this affects all indicators on the chart, real-time, and that the status is not unique to each indicator. At ...
