If you stop learning new languages and new paradigms all the time until the day your fingers cannot use the keyboard anymore then you have stopped being a programmer because you have lost all interest in the whole matter.

Object Oriented Programming

Unfortunately not. Metatrader provides no API for external programs and also there is no way to make your own callbacks. This is the most annoying shortcoming of mt4/mql4 and unfortunately it also won't be available in mt5/mql5. All you can do is to ...

Creating Metatrader DLLs with Lazarus / Free Pascal

Of course "current chart" must return the chart the EA or script is attached to! If this would return different things every time you "look" somewhere else there would be no way to write reliable EAs! You cannot plot objects on other charts than the ...

Questions on objectcreate() and symbol()

You will run into fifo-problems with some brokers. How about calculating the exact price level where to close all trades in advance and then immediately set this as takeprofit to all open trades? you can calculate the break-even price by simply ...

Exit for Martingale EA ?

The library is linked dynamically. You can replace the library with a newer version without recompiling the EA and it will be used when the EA is restarted. This is the only advantage of using libraries. I am using include files for the purpose of ...

Exactly. In isolation is the important point here. This is exactly what I said. These "patterns" may not be viewed in isolation to find out whether it really is a pattern or whether it is completely normal and expected that this sequence appeared.

Can you tell with naked eyes?

You are right. Its even buggier than I thought. After receiving three alert popups for every new signal and identifying the wrong loop construct as the cause I didn't even try the email function anymore. The fix is easy, once the problem has been ...

I didn' make an error in the first post so there is nothing to admit, instead you obviously didn't understand the code, the problem and my posting explaining it, this is obvious from reading your answers where you simply ignore my arguments and ...

No, you didn't understand the code and the meaning of NewBar() here. The loop is run once on every tick. But the loop checks the last 3 bars on every tick and the last 4 bars on a new bar. The email alert will be sent 3 times for every ma-crossing. ...

Maybe it is meant for this but in this particular example it doesnt do what is needed. newbar will return true when a new bar opens, so it won't alert on every tick but it will still give the same alert on 3 consecutive bars. The above code could be ...

I just stumbled upon this indicator (rsi blackfeet modded) due to a programming job that was given to me along with a copy of this indicator. Is this your code? (Code formatting applied for better readability) for( i = limit - 1; i >= 0; i -- ){ ...

Rsi cross indicator? (NOT cross 50, etc)

This may not be what you initially asked for because it does not use excel, but judging from your question it looks like you simply want to visualize the floating profit in realtime. If you just want to see this curve and don't want to do any ...

P/L Curve from pos from MT4 into Excel

No. If you find patterns in random data then you ere either not looking at random data or your mind is playing tricks on you. You would then do some statistical tests to prove whether these patterns are real or only an illusion. In real market data ...

Can you tell with naked eyes?

No. The definition of randomness is that it does not contain patterns. A pattern is defined as something that is not-random. a streak of consecutive heads or tails in random coin flips is not a pattern. It would be a pattern if it would occur more ...

Can you tell with naked eyes?

I was referring to real charts. If something does not look like random then it is not random. If it looks like random then it may still contain a pattern, you just cant see it. If you find a pattern on a price chart that is repeated over and over ...

Can you tell with naked eyes?

This is what my first posting said. It can hardly be spotted with the naked eye on a small chart. But some things can be obvious, like for example a strong persistent trend or if the data is obviously stationary over a long period or if there are ...

Can you tell with naked eyes?

Isnt't this obvious? He is looking for the little piece of non-randomness in a real price chart, how this non-randomnes looks like, how it can be spotted with the naked eye to determine how it could be exploited so he can trade it.

Can you tell with naked eyes?

markmm, what are you doing in forex, if you are convinced that the market is not tradable?

Can you tell with naked eyes?

not another random thread, please. the amount of randomness (like many other things) is not quantified by guessing with the naked eye but by strict mathematical methods instead.
