What I know is that in MQL4 the function OrderClose() allows you to set the lot size to be closed, which makes the function capable to partially close the trade. When that happens, in the list of trades it appears that the original trade has been fully closed and a new one has been created (with smaller lot size). Both trades have different ticket numbers, so visually you can't even tell that it was a partial close, but it's a little bit different on a lower level. I'm not sure, but I think that it's better to partially close the trade instead of fully close and open smaller amount after that.

If you want to get the current hour, for example if now is 13:05 and you want to get 13, then in MT4 you can try this:

TimeHour(TimeCurrent())

... where TimeCurrent() gives you the current server time as a number of seconds since 1.1.1970. TimeHour() obviously gets that number of seconds and gives you the current hour back.

Instead of TimeCurrent() you can use TimeLocal() or TimeGMT().

It's interesting that TimeHour() doesn't exist in MQL5, so it is a little but more complicated.

Yes, fxDreema Variables.
The thing is I've built an EA that trades the 28 majors and crosses in a single instance (one chart).
So there's potentially a lot of trades going on if I load it on multiple timeframes (one chart per timeframe).
Want to be sure they're not going to get confused with one another...

I'd been thinking about it a little further, and I'd expect that Variables would be restricted (essentially sandboxed) by each chart, but would like confirmation.

Thank you so much mate. You saved me.

Recuerda que MT4 no puede utilizar los multiprocesadores o los procesadores multihilos. Para ello, hay que ir a MT5.
Remind that MT4 is not able to optimize using multiprocessors or multithread processors. That has been implemented in MT5.

Thank you, I will try!

Thank you once again!

Miro, thank you very much.

I checked MT4 Journal and noticed that my EA was actually removing and applying SL again at the same time, that is why I thought it was not being removed.

I had to change something on my code to make it work properly. As always, you were right 🙂

OK thanks, it's not material, just aesthetic !

@fxdreema
Bucket blocks along with Modify Variables did the job
Thanks !

I know, but what access could be denied to pay with bit? 🙂

Hi @Juan-Manuel-Quiñonero

You can use a combination of two blocks
Puedes usar una combinación de dos bloques

"Bucket of Positions" is for selecting which trades you want to choose and use "Modify Variables" block to store the Profit value. Then, you will set that variable in the "Comment" block to show the number in the chart as @isp00rt suggested.

Con el bloque "Bucket of Positions" puedes seleccionar los trades y con el bloque "Modify Variables" guardas el beneficio en una variable. Luego utiliza el bloque "Comment" con la variable establecida para mostrarla en pantalla.

@jrbeltre did you figure out how to use pending order on a fibo level?

Ok, that could solve my problem. Thx! 🙂

Works great, many thanks.

Many interesting ideas to explore. Thank you all for them. I'll try them ;).
