IBFX New Policy

Yes, it most certainly is a good and interesting lesson. Thank you! I was editing my previous post while your reply came in, I made some observations of your 1st example and how I think the second one solves a big problem in the 1st. Might be wrong, ...

Record the time when an indicator line crosses a threshold

I see.. on starting the masfast_1 and maslow_1 would both be 0, and since both conditions require either mafast_1>maslow_1 or mafast_1<maslow_1, they would never fulfill. But I suppose that's the beauty of the last two lines as they cover that ...

Record the time when an indicator line crosses a threshold

@CodeMeister: I think my misunderstanding stems from my noob ignorance of static variables. Laughable now.. Me:"Yes, I want to get a static snapshot." You:"Just use a static variable." Me:"???" @kennyhubbard: Thanks for the code. I would have gone ...

Record the time when an indicator line crosses a threshold

Yes, so how would I go about storing the static datetime variable? Say for example I want to record the time when a fast Moving Average crosses above a slow Moving Average. double mafast_0=iMA(Symbol(),0,5,0,MODE_CLOSE,PRICE_MEDIAN,0); double ...

Record the time when an indicator line crosses a threshold

I was tossing around the idea of using arguments with TimeCurrent() but no matter what, I will always get the running time and not the timestamp of the event. Short of generating a far-off Pending Order and recording it's time, I'll can't think of ...

Record the time when an indicator line crosses a threshold

Yes, I'm simply looking to record the time of the event. Without the time of the event, I would not be able to subtract it from the TimeCurrent() to get the elapsed time.

Record the time when an indicator line crosses a threshold

Thanks for the brainstorming, Codemeister. How would you go about using TimeCurrent()? It returns the latest server time and not the instance of the time at the event. I suppose it might be possible using Filewrite where the TimeCurrent() keeps ...

Record the time when an indicator line crosses a threshold

I'm currently accessing my desktop via RDP on an Android phone. It's better than using MT4 mobile as it's faster, and well, it's the full MT4 program.

MT4 mobile can use to mobile phone with OS android, or iphone or blackberry?

That looks very interesting. Out of curiosity, is this a proprietary software? Why not use the existing platforms out there like Tradestation or Metatrader? Saves a boatload of time.

C# programmer new to forums

And the irony is that, I have a latency of 7ms to my account's FXCM server while it's 88ms to my other broker's server. So it's definitely not a latency issue. It's disappointing and a pity.

FXCM Discussion

I've been old ticked to death for the past 2 months on my live account. Just 30 minutes ago, I watched a trade go 3 pips past my TP on the trade terminal for 2 seconds and nothing, I checked the journal and true enough, old tick. My parallel live ...
