For example if I run a script called supertrader.mq4 and I want to open a logfile called supertrader_logfile from the script supertrader.

Thanks.

Maybe by adding void Print( ...) to the script.

void Print( ...) Prints a message to the experts log.

Dear Codersguru,

I am not a programmer and in my trial and error style, the wolf wave I tried to improve is giving the signal " the second parameter, ObjectTextSetFunction must be a string.

Please help me to rectify.

Thank you in anticipation.

Hi guys I need a bool function that returns true if 5 mins has passed, or 10 mins or whatever. I know how to check for a new bar already but its not often enough.

Maybe

Code:

double LastRedraw = 0;

if(TimeLocal() - LastRedraw > 300)          
{
Print();

ObjectsRedraw(); 
Print("ObjectsRedraw Done");
LastRedraw = TimeLocal();
}

LastRedraw = TimeLocal();
}

Or this:

Code:

bool ElapsedTimeCheck(int MyMinutes)
{
 static datetime OldTime;
 
 if (OldTime == 0)
  OldTime = TimeCurrent() + MyMinutes * 60; // initialised once...

 if (TimeCurrent() >= OldTime) 
 {
  OldTime = TimeCurrent() + MyMinutes * 60;
  bool cond = true;
 }
 else cond = false;
 
 return(cond);
}

Cool thanks guys, both of the suggestions are probably better than what I was working on.

I am trying to set up a comment to show on screen but not having much luck
I have managed to get the pip count for a single pair but I can't seem to show the collated total for multiple pairs

Any help would be great

this is an example of that code

//========== FUNCTION getPipValue
double getPipValue(double ord,int dir)
{
double val;
RefreshRates();
if(dir == 1) val=(NormalizeDouble(ord,Digits) -
NormalizeDouble(Ask,Digits));
else val=(NormalizeDouble(Bid,Digits) - NormalizeDouble(ord,Digits));
val = val/Point*co;
return(val);
}
//== end function

int getSpread()
{
int spread=MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_SPREAD);
return(spread);
}

//========== FUNCTION getOpenOrders
void getOpenOrders()
{
int nsl, nsd;
string mngMagic, trailon;
int totalorders = OrdersTotal();
for(int j=0; j<totalorders;j++)
{
OrderSelect(j, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
if((OrderType() == OP_BUY || OrderType() == OP_SELL) &&
OrderSymbol() == Symbol()&&(MagicNumber==0 || MagicNumber ==
OrderMagicNumber()))
{

double val=getPipValue(OrderOpenPrice(),OrderType());
//int val = OrderProfit()/(OrderLots()*10);

}

if(MagicNumber == 0)
mngMagic = "All "+Symbol()+" trades.";
else
mngMagic = "Trades with magic number = "+MagicNumber;

//RefreshRates();
Comment("Balance: ",AccountBalance(),", Account Equity: ",AccountEquity(),", Account Profit: ",AccountProfit(),"Order Open: ",OrderOpenPrice(),
"\nPip Count: ", val,
"\nMy Account Cutoff Limit: ",Open_Loss_To_CloseTrades,
"\nManaging: ", mngMagic);

Cheers

The pips value of a current order may be obtained by the following:

PHP Code:


			
( OrderClosePrice() - OrderOpenPrice() ) / MarketInfo( OrderSymbol(), MODE_POINT )

If you want to use "bid" and "ask", you also need to use the ones related to the order symbol, i.e. MarketInfo( OrderSymbol(), MODE_BID ) and MarketInfo( OrderSymbol(), MODE_ASK ).
