Anybody I suggestion how to easily add a Time Frame stamp as well as currency pair?

I want my global variables to look like EURUSD_M15_someother text

adding TF in mql5 adds a lot of conversion errors.

I too agree, use a bool variable, then you can display state in a comment.

@holygrailfx Global variables are terminal variables in FX, if this needs removed for a certain condition you can get the code to add to a custom block from google.

@holygrailfx Do you mean this?

It also works like this: http://prntscr.com/hca78b Basically after I created those pink blocks I stopped adding more blue blocks, such as Check type (last closed)

@timmyhanke
Sorry I dont understand your suggestion?

What I want is that for example the two set of trades should give the same average openprice if the calculation is adjusted for lotsize: average price is 1.2000, however fxdreema gives 1.15 for basket 1 and 1.2 for basket 2!

Example tradebasket 1
1 buy lotsize 1 @ 1.0000
1 buy lotsize 2 @ 1.3000

Example trade basket 2
1 buy lotsize 1 @ 1.0000
1 buy lotsize 1 @ 1.3000
1 buy lotsize 1 @ 1.3000

If you create that text with "Draw Text", then there is option for the color somewhere. Look at the bottom and click on "Standard properties"

In MQL4 try "Spread filter" block. There is extra setting for this. But I made this long time ago, the code is complex and I'm not sure if it still works 🙂

Is it now ok?

'F' - unrecognized character escape sequence $$$$$$$$5april.mq4 10887 46

which is part of the following sequence

//-- ftp errors case 4260: e = "FTP server is not specified"; break; case 4261: e = "FTP login is not specified"; break; case 4262: e = "FTP connection failed"; break; case 4263: e = "FTP connection closed"; break; case 4264: e = "FTP path not found on server"; break; case 4265: e = "File not found in the MQL4\Files directory to send on FTP server"; break; case 4266: e = "Common error during FTP data transmission"; break;

I guess that it should be MQL4/Files

Cheers

I'm not aware of such possibility, OrderClose() does not have "comment" attribute

You have it

ok that is what I figured

What I did in Mondey is for good, it was only something that reveals small mistakes. The calculation is still the same, but now it shows the real number. I know it sounds stupid, but I also had many problems with values that look like 10 but are in fact like 9.9999999999991. I can't explain why this happens, it's something technical with floating numbers in C++. Check this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2909 ... -precision
In other words, in the past you saw rounded but false numbers and now you are looking at their real value.

That's why they provide NormalizeDouble(). Now I want to normalize the data that can be get from Condition, but it's not as simple as to write NormalizeDouble everywhere, because this function has second parameter for the number of digits after the point and this depends of what kind the value is. If it's lot size, then 2 digits, in case of price - 2, 3, 4 or 5 digits depending on the market. If it's the value of custom indicator... absolutely depends.

There is nothing about this in "Condition" or as a block. I was thinking about this many times, to add something in "Condition" or to do it as a separate block, but there are downsides for both cases, so I don't know 🙂

The best way is to have a custom indicator that does this calculation and also draws the values you want to use. Indicators do their job better. Doing indicator's job in an EA is not very efficient in most cases. Just imagine - getting and checking the same 30 values on every tick.

Yes, it looks at the profit in money.

If I ever do something about this, it will be some universal way of sorting, but I'm still not sure how exactly to do it

Thanks
I went back to an older version. And redid most of the changes
So far so good
No stack overflow yet

The idea of those counters is to count how many times the block runs. Optionally any counter can be reset, but the block to reset is normally located somewhere else, under another condition. You have the reset at the same place where the counter is, so the counter counts nothing.

But I will suggest to not use counters, because their memory is temporary. It's much better if you use only conditions who check things about the trades - their type, count, profit or something like this.
