Guru,

I have been racking my brain to figure out how to get my indicator to use a simple dash instead of Wingdings. I am trying to avoid using ObjectCreate if possible. I know there must be a simple way, because it's listed in the online help at MT4 site. If I'm reading it correctly the number 4 should be a dash, however when I use the number 4 as and arrow, it gives me the default checkmark.

I'm not looking for a dashed line, just a single dash to mark a point on any given bar.

Great thread, by the way.

Hi CodersGuru,

What kind of code would I need to make an EA Buy at exact cross on stochastic but make it wait at least new bar to apply the close position rules but still apply SL-TP-TS.

And also to make the EA wait until next opposite cross to take another position.

Thanks for your good work!

I would like to know what bar the highest high and lowest low occurred for today on H1 or less time periods.

I know I can use a for loop and check.

Is there a more elegant way to do this?

Is there a first bar of today function?

Thanks.

How do I add an expiration date to my EA?

int start(){
if (TimeCurrent()>D'2008.06.15 12:00:00'){Comment("sorry, expired!"); return(0);}

...

}

iBarShift will find for you the bar that start on that day or also the end bar for that day.

int iBarShift( string symbol, int timeframe, datetime time, bool exact=false)

next...

use those bar positions to find the results of iHighest and iLowest

int iHighest( string symbol, int timeframe, int type, int count=WHOLE_ARRAY, int start=0)
int iLowest( string symbol, int timeframe, int type, int count=WHOLE_ARRAY, int start=0)


results & done

I copied and pasted this code under the "Initialization" part of my EA's code, and then I got this error message:

'start' - function already defined and has a body


What could I be doing wrong? Thanks!

you are almost there
yes you have a "init" part (initialization) and also a "start" part...
put it in the start part as I did it in the example...

why?
1. because init will run only ones, in the "start" part it will block continues.
2. your error message = you can't use a start() into a init() function

Have a nice weekend
