I am getting this error message when compiling, referencing a couple of the functions:

“no dll defined for the imported function”

I have tried moving the function way up in the EA, to check for earlier syntax errors, but no change.
Since the EA does not use dll's, and the functions are similar to other functions that do NOT get an error message, I don't have a clue.

Here is one of the functions:

int getMom_A();
{
double MomA0 = iCustom(NULL, 0, "Mom A", IndUsedByEA, MaPeriods, MaMethod, APrice, APeriods, AMethod, Mom_Length, MomOnOpen,1,0);

if (MomA0 < -0.16)
{
return(SHORT);
}

if (MomA0 > 0.16)
{
return(LONG);
}
return(FLAT);
}

(The returned variables are actually integers, defined at the beginning of the program – not the problem.)

What is going on?

Update: Problem solved! Found answer by Google to MQL4.com.
The First line should have no semicolon, so like this:
int getMom_A()

The five digits is critical.
Mr Pip posted a solution some time ago.
"mypoint" would be a search term.

I wrote an indicator, and have an alert option, and when the Alert() is turned off, it prints a Comment() in the experts log.

I only want to know if the condition exists(give an alert) on the actual Close of the bar, which would be Close[i+1] I thought...

However, when I run the indicator with the Alert() on, it gives me multiple alerts on the current bar while the condition is happening, and generates too many alerts.

My log file for only a couple of hours was over 35mb!

How do I fix this problem?

Please see the attached indicator, which identifies a trend continuation pattern. ( described on a trader's website: 9/30 Setup )

Thanks,

Dan

Try something like

int limit;
int counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();

if(counted_bars>0) counted_bars--;
limit=Bars-counted_bars;

for(int i=1; i<limit; i++)

Hi

I`m quite new to forex trading as well as to coding in MQL4. I need help in setting up ordersend for SellLimit orders and BuyLimit orders. This is my code but I keep getting a Ordersend error 130 or 3. I don`t know what is wrong with the code.

if (Bid <= LowEnvelope) {OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELLLIMIT,lotMM,Bid-EmergencyProfit*Point,0,0,0," Sell Limit Order",MagicNumber,0,Orange);}

Please can someone Help me? Thank You

I just want to take the opportunity to say thanks to all the people whom make this forum possible and to all the other traders who are willing to share their knowledge freely with every one else. Thank you, I have learned quite a bit and still feel like I know nothing.

Price for SellLimit order should be higher then real price, not lower.

Thank You Roger9. I`m using seelstop and buystopp now instead and it is working fine.

Simple request - can anyone tell me how to get the current time frame / period being viewed? I.e. 1 hour, 4 hour, 1 day etc.

Have searched docs etc can't find it.

Thanks.
