could some one guide me on getting the labels to show
I changed the indicator to show futures and i tried but cant get the labels to work, I am very new at this. It is difficult to use just the ticker on the futures
I would like to input a label to show like

ZGG9 Gold 767.6 etc.

would like to combain both RSI and the WPR into one indicator,

RSI = 100-(100/(1+U/D))


Where:
U — is the average number of positive price changes;
D — is the average number of negative price changes.

+

%R = -(HIGH(i - n) - CLOSE) / (HIGH(i - n) - LOW(i - n))*100


Where:
CLOSE — is today’s closing price;
HIGH(i-n) — is the highest high over a number (n) of previous periods;
LOW(i-n) — is the lowest low over a number (n) of previous periods.

then \2

and you will get the rr.indicator

thank you for all your help

I need one line ont 2 in the indicator so it would be (WPR + RSI)/2



thank you

Hi, I get a EA which is reported to generate very good profit and I want to test it by using it the strategy tester. But the EA would only generate alerts, not doing any trades. I am a newbie to programming in MQL. Can anybody give me a hand on highlighting what parts of the code I should change in order to enable testing and give me some hints on the changes to be made? I have read the tutorial by codersguru but I think I understand it. But that is all.

Below is the source of the EA. A triilion thanks in advance:

can anyone give me the code for adding set trading times to an ea as i only what it to trade for a few hwers a day, not all day


thank you all for your help

This is an indicator, not EA. Indicators can't open and close orders.

If your time from 10am to 5pm, put this string at the beginning of start block:
if (TimeHour(TimeCurrent())<10||TimeHour(TimeCurrent( ))>=17)return(0);

so I need to check for ways to convert indicators to EA, right?
btw, can anyone tell me the main idea of the indicator?

thank you so much, is it in the right place , where I put it.

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| expert start function |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
if (TimeHour(TimeCurrent())<10||TimeHour(TimeCurrent( ))>=17)return(0);
int start() {
int Order = SIGNAL_NONE;
int Total, Ticket;
double StopLossLevel, TakeProfitLevel;

No. You need to put it inside your start function, you've got it outside. Put it inside the curly braces, first line is fine.
