What is an easy statement to check to see if 2 moving averages have crossed within 5 bars before the current bar?? Can anybody help me with this??

-OR-

How do you state 5 conditional statements?? If all 5 are acceptable, a buyvalue=1 is stated.

I do not know if this would work below??: Can somebody comment on this as to whether it would work, if not, how should it be stated??

if(Condition1)
if(Condition2)
if(Condition3)
if(Condiition4)
if(Condition5)
{
buyvalue=1;
}

This is the most economical and fastest way to write multiconditional tests.
It's the fastest because if condition1 is not filled, condition 2, 3, ... are not evaluated, which is not the case if you put "&&" operator between them.
So begin with the most likely unfrequent condition.
So this will undoubtfully work.
Now, as you are often asking if something will work, the best is to try, its a good way to learn too.
Cheers.

Hi there,

Please can you show me if you will, how do I say:-

"if the previous position closed on candle "0" or candle "1", then do not open another position on that same candle." or, even if candle "0" meets the required conditions to open another position... if the previous position closed on that candle then prevent it from opening another position, wait for the conditions to be right again.

I can say it in english but I'm still a bit too new to mql4 it.

thanks

You might use the following code snippet:
after which you have the bool variable "last_order_closed_rather_recently" telling whether there was an order closed after the opening of bar 1. Then somewhere you'd have:
before entering a new trade.

Thank you sir, much appreciated.

Hi

I wrote Alert but it only works when I open window with my indicator. It works only also when I jump beetwen charts windows, in other words when I jump between charts time levels. It seems that indicator can not count when whorks. How can I solve my problem ? Need help. Is it conected with Indicatorcounted ? Should I do something in parameter of Alert. How to do it ?

Should I use something like:

double

? = ObjectGetValueByShift(string name, int shift));

if (???????????)

Alert("Pattern on " + Symbol() + " " + Period());

Anyone? Trying to create what must be the simplest indy of all time and screwing up..

Input: Last Tic Value of (1)Pair X and (2) Pair Y.
( both CDF "pairs" ..ie 3 letter symbols))

Output 1: Print onscreen X-Y
Output 2: Plot In Indicator window MA of X-Y..

.Dont ask...LoL

Hi,

Please, could you write an example of the code where Alert is only once.

When an object shows up on the chart and you want to have Alert once.

Pucio

Maybe you could use this piece of code: How to alert only at candle close
