first declare global variable (global for the script) int objectCount;
then at the end of the ea process all objects (u can for eg search them by name)

for(int i=0;i>=ObjectsTotal(OBJ_ARROW) ;i++)
{
//then if object label dont exists draw it, lets say that we will take the
//name of existing arrow and add L label to it, to identify it

if(ObjectFind(ObjectName(i)+"L")== -1)
{
ObjectCreate(ObjectName(i)+"L",OBJ_ARROW,0,ObjectG et(ObjectName(i), OBJPROP_TIME1),ObjectGet(ObjectName(i),(OBJPROP_PR ICE1+3*Point)));
// and that is it
}
}


That is just an example, I havent got time to check it for possible bugs but this should work, and u know now the right way.

Okay. Got it. I actually needed to use StringFind(). Thanks for the pointers!

#property show_inputs

extern string stringname="blah";
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| script program start function |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int start()
{
//----

for(int i=0;i<ObjectsTotal();i++)

if(StringFind(ObjectName(i),stringname,0)>0)
{
ObjectDelete(ObjectName(i));
}

Thanks, but, this doesn't work. First, I changed "i>=ObjectsTotal" to "i<=ObjectsTotal" (typo). Then, I noticed that you're creating another arrow object where we want to create a new text object which includes the name of the arrow object. Anyway, the code below is creating a bunch of arrows (around 50) all overlapping on the same coordinates.

Still lost on this one. If you have a chance to take another look, that would be much appreciated. To be clear, I'm looking to create one new text object which gets positioned below each existing arrow object where the text description of the text object is equal to the name of the arrow object.

I wanted just to show u the idea. I think it is so easy that when u will read all the code and understand the idea, u will make a good code.

But the idea which is "so easy" doesn't work. I guess if it's so easy, why not just show a correct answer rather than post something which doesn't work and claim it's "so easy"? Everything is easy once one understands how to do it.

Still looking for assistance here. Maybe this is really elementary, but, I'm not finding any good documentation to clear this up.

I understand how to count bars right to left (present to past) in ascending order and how to count bars left to right in descending order. What I don't get is how to count bars left to right in ASCENDING order. It's been mentioned to take a look at iBarsShift, but iBarsShift references the count from right to left. There's something else missing which I'm not getting.

I simply want to count bars from left to right (past to present) starting the beginning of each month.

Forgive me if this is quite elementary. And, thanks for any help.

I haven't been on much lately because ever since I learned about interbankfx's "days off" on july 4'rth, I've been working on a safety detector, to safely exit trades, and not open new ones before the ea's stops executing (the next best thing to finding a new broker, I hope ). Just don't expect a full ea, (it's an ea setup guide in an ea file).

Creating has pushed me much futher in coding experience than i expected (or wished for ), and now i have one question that research has failed to answer. the troublemaker in question seems to me to have a fairly simple answer, but i've had no luck in finding it, so i'm not very accurate in saying it is.

Is there any way to have a function look at the current trade and see if it's profitable?

Step by step:
1) Select the current order
2) Read the order open price
3a) if order is LONG then ASK-OrderOpenPrice()
3b) if order is SHORT then OrderOpenPrice() - BID
4) If the value of previous operation is > 0 then order is proftable.

Thats all

Wow! It works. Thanks! (I can't believe it was so simple )

Sometimes even so simple things, looks so hard to handle
