Hie everyone, i am using this indicator: DaVinci Telegram OpenClose Indicator v.1.9.mq4, in my private Telegram channel to give signals to a few colleagues, it only posts messages as text, so i wanted to use the visuals of emojis so that it makes a difference for: Buy & Sell Orders opening, then Buy & Sell Orders Closing with Profit or Loss. the snippet for what i am saying for instance: // Correct UTF-16 surrogate pairs for emojis vertical_robot_emoji = CharToString(0xD83D) + CharToString(0xDEA6); // U+1F6A6 green_circle_emoji...

Question: How to use iMA for multi-timeframe indicators in offline mode (MT5)? Hi everyone, I'm trying to build a multi-timeframe indicator in MetaTrader 5 using iMA (e.g. get H1 EMA from an M5 chart). The issue is: in offline mode (when the market is closed or there's no internet), iMA fails to create the handle — BarsCalculated() keeps returning -1, even though the H1 data is fully available on disk and visible on the chart. Is this a limitation of the built-in functions like iMA, iMACD, etc.? Or is there something wrong in how I'm writing the...

{quote} Best solution is to use a custom MA function. You have this function in some code already, most likely in mladen's codes. If you can't find one, AI will write you one. //-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Calculate MA on array starting at index "start" over "period" bars| //| using the MA method specified by "method". | //| Returns EMPTY_VALUE if there aren't enough bars. | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ double CalcMA(const double &data[], int start,...

{quote} I had come to the same answer, I even coded it with AI, but I don't like it very much, because using a ready-made function is much easier I don't want to create a custom function for each indicator, although there are custom functions in the example folder codes {image} My problem is not just the moving average, it seems that if I want to create a multi-timeframe indicator for each indicator, I have to write a separate function for it I took help from AI and did some research, but in the end I came to your answer Currently, it seems that...

{quote} I'm not sure that I understood your post, but using a custom MA calculating function, you don't need to create a separate function for each Tf i MTF mode. You are going to calculate the MAs in a for loop, so you can apply an MTF method, something like: //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ /* Example of MTF another way: #ifdef __MQL4__ //--- Check if there are enough bars to process if (rates_total < MA_Period || _Period > TimeFrame) return 0; // Not enough bars to calculate MA datetime TimeArray[]; //---...

{quote} I didn’t mean that I have to create a separate function for each timeframe. Let me explain it this way: I want to build a multi-timeframe indicator that combines several indicators, for example, a combination of Moving Average, MACD, and so on. For such a goal, I have to either code each indicator I need from scratch or create its function by copying from existing versions. I don’t know exactly which indicators I will need. The issue is that I have made some things before but I wasn’t satisfied with the results. Now I want to use a combination...

{quote} OK, so this is more of a psychological issue, than a coding issue. From my point of view, when I have an idea, I simply sit down and start coding. I have always done it in this way, even when I was just starting my coding adventures and didn't really know what I was doing. I sat down and started "coding", mostly copying existing snippets, and when I was stuck on some problem, my brain was working wild. I would, usually go to sleep with the idea that the answer would come to me, and it always did, somehow. In the morning, I would sit down...
