@ambrogio ... why you say it does not exist? Candle 0 is the current candle and then when it close it becomes candle 1 and the current candle 1 will become candle 2 etc.

Hi..

How can I determine each dot of the parabolic SAR? Say I want to enter an order on the 3rd dot or maybe the 6th dot. Does anybody have an idea please?

@ambrogio said in Mql4 to Mql5 convertor problem:

@alphaomega hi! A long time ago I solved this way: I copied the code generated by the converter into an empty meta editor indicator file, then i compiled it.

But this time I wasn't lucky, the file doesn't show anything on the graph

These are the files: 0_1640987888846_MARKET_PROFILE.ex5

0_1640987894856_MARKET_PROFILE.mq5

Maybe the mq5 file needs some fix, but i don't know, i'm not a coder.

Thank you my friend for giving it a go. The errors you got is the same errors I had. I googled it and what I understand from it is that the indicator was written in a previous mql4 form, in other words by now not updated. So the the Fxdreema convertor makes errors not reading mql4 type correctly.. I am also not a coder so it the blind leading the blind here When Fxdreema comes from holiday maybe he can share us some white light.

@xyon126 Happy New year to you... I am sorry to disagree with you., No matter.. its the same .... mql4 code format from where ever... the format is the same so that is not the problem... The real problem is its a bad convertor and it needs fixing. Thank you for your input

@l-andorrà I found another one that is working.. Thank you

@l-andorrà .. Yes it is the correct file.. It starts of like this

@mr-lenny Thx mr Lenny!.. @Fxdreema said he updated the convertor.. Maybe need he need to check it again because this is not the first error I get with the converter

Hi Fxdreema... Maybe its me but could you please explain why I get this error when converting an indicator. Thank you

The original file: 0_1640511652897_Market Profile ay-MarketProfileDWM.v1.31rev.mq4

Converted Mql5 file: 0_1640511734787_Market Profile ay-MarketProfileDWM.v1.31rev.mq5

And this is what comes out when compiled:

Morning everyone.. Could someone please help me finding why and fix errors in this indicator when compiling? Thank you
0_1640506669608_BollingerzFibonacci.mq5

@biztet maybe he can use your one with the correct buffers.. I am using mq5 so won't be able to test it

@biztet He has not shared the indicator so I do not know how the indicator work exactly, I just gave some ways to close the orders he needs to close according to his start question.

@trader-1978 You can make a condition and then stipulate your indicator signal within .. some indicators does not operate well with the SL function... Try as picture:

@fxdreema So I am confused... I changed to mt5 because the big guns here said it is more strict making it better but now it seems using Fxdreema it would be better for the coding part to use mt4? Advice is needed please.

@trader-1978
I would suggest doing it like this:

@stantham and your true colors are now showing... good luck!!

@stantham
Respect is not the issue, no one has said anything there of. I am not rude, I am to the point, that's my nature. Read back and see how many times has been said .. you cannot be helped with this indicator because of the buffer problem? I have gone out of my way to create the buffers that is available. Jstap have made a code with the buffers that is available but, still you persist on a solution? You have not shown one attempt of your own creation where you are actually trying yourself?
I do not care how many million of people are looking for a solution as to solving this indicator problem in Fxdreema....... It cannot be solved because of the way it was originally coded.. End of story.
I also do not care how many million of indicators more there is, that is coded this way... It will not have a solution in Fxdreema... end of story.
I, as many people here has also discarded many indicators because of buffer problems and regarded useless in Fxdreema, Yours are not the first.

Now.. If I offended you with my manner of answering... I apologize to you sincerely ... you forgive or you don't. End of story.

@stantham What exactly you want me to figure out? If jstap who is a programmer and much better at Fxdreema than me cannot help you, I for sure cannot..
What specific is your strategy? I want a detailed description! ....not this: Make an expert from indicator nonsense.
If you want to sell top of trend and buy at low of trend you do not need this indicator. If it was so easy to make money from only this malaas indicator there will be no other indicators but only variables of this specific indicator because why would we need any other indicator? Everyone would have only used malaas.
I want to help bru but I do not know how to help you? The indicator does not show the buffer you want so what else is left here for anyone wanting to help you?

Edit: Here I have put a full expert I was working on .. maybe look at it and add something or change it to your liking..
https://fxdreema.com/shared/RxqAGbGKc

@stantham hopefully jstap will give you the help you need now that you have the mq5

@stantham You had it all the time?.... Why share the ex5 in the first place?... Anyway ... lets hope there is a coder with a good heart to help you with the buffers.... good luck

Looks like here is the code needed to put icustom

double ZigzagLawnBuffer1[],ZigzagPeakBuffer1[];
double ZigzagLawnBuffer2[],ZigzagPeakBuffer2[];
