Thank you Michel. Using what you've suggested A *= + A does indeed give a positive sign ie: changes -A to +A.

Here;s what I am doing ...

That is, if the alarm has been reset (to true) and either signalbuffer < lwr_level or signalbuffer > upr_level

Play one sound if the signalbuffer is below the lower level or another sound if above the upper level. Set the alarm to false (don't want another alarm going off if it's already the done.

else

Reset the alarm (ie: signalbuffer is outside of the lower_level and the upper_level)

Unfortunately that's not what's happening but at least I know that the code is correct and it's probably down to the logic.

Thank you again Michel.

EDIT: I've just commented stepSignalBuffer[shift] and it's value is always ZERO! I feel such an idiot.

No, this is wrong, I said: A *= -1; not A *= +A;
This flipflop the sign; but if you need to have a positive number, use the MathAbs() function : A = MathAbs(A); Wathever is A , it will become positif.

Hi guru,

Are there any server can feed price to give us chance test our code at Saturday and Sunday ?

I mean if there possible to make simulator server to give chance to test at weekend ?

This idea come because of :
1. While at workdays, we are seriously to watch our chart,
at that time, can't seriously type code.
2. We have more time at weekend, then we can seriously test our code atm.

Maybe some one can give me information about this idea ?

Best regards,

BornToWin

I was after trying t flipflip the sign which appeared to work. I tired the MathsAbs() function too and indeed the number is positive.

Thank you Michel, you have been a great help to me.

Hi coders,

I try to go thorugh some MQL4 functions and bumped into this sample code as above. Could someone kindly explain:
1.)what's the reason of using "limit" variable there?
2.)I tried to run the sample code, which always returns value 2, what's the purpose of the "limit" value 2 in the for loop,
3.)which position bars does this for loop working on?

Thank you.

hi ... i search this simple ea

daily breakout EA with trailing stop and profit lock function.

Exist?

What is the statement to code #property indicator as a line versus a dash (default)??

Simple question, but unknown answer at present!

Dave

Appreciate you answering this for me!

good morning, is a beginner of the language mq4, I would appreciate a help, I in advance thank!

the indicator has two variables:

bool TurnedUp = false
bool TurnedDown = false

how to use the function icustom in the EA, to read the values of TurnedUp and TurnedDown?


iCustom(Symbol(),"postfin",0,TurnedUp,0,0,0); ....
iCustom(Symbol(),"postfin",0,TurnedDown,0,0,0);


.....my probations, not working, possible because it deals with "bool" ??

part EA and error ..
