If you drop the basic moving average (included as indicator in MT4) on another indicator, it is possible to calculate the MA of the indicator, but how do you change a custom indicator in such a way that it's possible to drop it on another indicator?

Hi,

I'm wanting to run a piece of code only when a new bar is created (on bar open).

Anyone have a code snippet for something like this?


Cheers

if(counted_bars>0) counted_bars--;
int pos = Bars-counted_bars;

double sma1,sma2,r;
while(pos>=0)
{
sma1=iMA(NULL,0,SMA1,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,pos);
sma2=iMA(NULL,0,SMA2,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,pos);
r=((sma1-sma2)/sma2)*10000;
//Alert("r=",r);
ExtMapBuffer1[pos]=r;
pos--;
}
return(0);

I've got it

if (Volume[0] == 1)
{DO...}

Big Be

Hola

When price broke and close up the trend evelope (look the pic wich yellow cirlce) i open an alert and color a breakbar.

is this the correct formula for calculating the value of a pip for the eur/chf cross:

(1/(eur/chf))*10*(eur/us)
a pip is .0001.

Correct formula above?

Use this code:

pipvalue=MarketInfo("EURCHF",MODE_TICKVALUE);

Hope this helps

I've already seen all the posts in this section and I've made a research on all the forum using the google search tool at the top of the forum, but what I've found is not exactly what I'm looking for.

What I need is a code that I have to implement in my EA that stops to open new position after a certain hour, for example after 15 GMT. This parameter should be a setting that I can modify from the user panel.
It would be great if I could set a period of time in which the EA can open the positions, so

Open from X hours until Y hours

Thanks for your help.
Regards
