Is there any indicator that can show us the high0low ao ech bar in value in top or below each bar ?

rcbarlow · #**432** (**permalink**) 11-13-2006, 07:31 PM

I received an indicator for metrader, however, it ends in ex4. When I copy it into the indicators folder, it does not show up. It is missing the Orange signal indicator that I can click on. When I checked, the ex4 file is in the indicators folder but does not show up in custom indicators. What should I do to fix this?

try this SetIndexStyle(0, DRAW_NONE); this removes the lines

I am having trouble getting my EA to place a trades when the trading hour conditions which I have set are met.

If the EA is activated during the 14th hour ie before the conditions are met it does not place the order when the time rolls over to the 15 hour.
If the EA is activated when the conditions have already been met then it opens orders fine.

It works fine if I test it with TimeMinute() instead of TimeHour() I have also tried using Hour() but no success.

Strangely enough if I use the same conditions to delete pending orders if the condition is NOT true it deletes orders when it rolls over to the next hour.

I have tried so many things now I am desperate and any help will be much appreciated.

The EA is attached to a M1 graph

PHP Code:


			
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

//|    CHECK FOR BUY CONDITIONS                                                   |

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+



if( (TimeHour(CurTime())>=15 && TimeHour(CurTime())<=16))

  {     

 if(BuyStopOrder==0 && longconditions == true)

 {

    if ( OrderSend ( Symbol(), OP_BUYSTOP, Lots, longprice+spread, 

         3, longprice-(StopLoss*Point), longprice+(TakeProfit*Point), "", 

         _MagicNumber,expiration,Green ) < 0 )

    {

        Alert( "OrderSend Error #", GetLastError() );

        return(-1);

    }

 }   

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

//|    CHECK FOR SHORT CONDITIONS                                              |

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+  

 if(SellStopOrder==0 && shortconditions == true)

 { 

 

    if ( OrderSend ( Symbol(), OP_SELLSTOP, Lots, shortprice,

         3, shortprice+spread+(StopLoss*Point),shortprice+spread-(TakeProfit*Point), "",

          _MagicNumber,expiration,Green ) < 0 )

    {

        Alert( "OrderSend Error #", GetLastError() );

        return(-1);

    }

 }

    return(0);

   }

this is probably easy for you, but can you please take this indicator and make an envelope out of it? so that the user could set it up to be a certain percentage from the center. i hope you can help me. thanks in advance

Hi all, I am writing an EA using either OP_BUYSTOP or OP_SELLSTOP to place an entry... However, could anyone tell me how could I check if the entry has hit? Or, the position has opened?
Thanks!

Hi,

Did anyone ever do this indicator with an alarm for you?

majlisb · #**440** (**permalink**) 12-13-2006, 03:06 PM

HI, professional

in example In an Ea we get a signal and we want to place a BUYSTOP/SellStop Order in hight of the signal bar,

We should wait to new bar open to find the Hight of signal bar , How we can do this ? (any article , post, EA , , , )

Thanks
