Daily % indicator works in comment line , with this code:
Buffer1[0]=DoubleToStr(PercChange, 2);

I think "Draw text" block only read buffer value and not include DoubleToStr ?

OK , I found the modified version which contains 3 buffer.
So no longer need to bother with this question , thanks anyway.

//channel distance of last/current bar ExtMapBuffer2[0]=NormalizeDouble(MathAbs(PP - P1)/Point,0); //angle of channel ExtMapBuffer3[0]=NormalizeDouble(-Step/Point, 2);

"Once per... whateve" at the end depend on the ticks. If no ticks come in more than 20 seconds, nothing will happen. But that's why those blocks are called Filters, not generators or something.

There is this event "on Timer" which can be used to run blocks in equal time periods. But note that this works only live, not in backtest.

Hello
I use flags(textual) with 3 values , but "Check flag(textual)" block only compare value "Must be"(==) ...
So whether it is possible to increase the "Not to be"(!=) compare also ? ... I save a few blocks then ... Just asking , not necessary

Hm, this is interesting. Now I am also wondering if I can add some parameter for this, but there is a chance that I will fail implementing this, because the block is also designed to draw text and there are some issues in MQL4 when we mix numbers with strings or vice versa.

Otherwise there is this function http://docs.mql4.com/convert/doubletostring that obviously turns any floating number into a string with X digits after the point. The thing is that function takes a variable.

The other way is to use this function http://docs.mql4.com/convert/normalizedouble to normalize the value that the indicator is giving to the EA. I would probably do this directly into the indicator itself... if this is a custom indicator of course.

There was a guy who had fast connection and still having some problems. I don't remember what was the problem exactly, but it was something that is impossible to be fixed, because of the way MT4 works 🙂

Commissions does not depend on the speed, they exists when the spread is low. They advertise low spread, but there there are commissions, so at the end it's like you have bigger spread 🙂

Swap is what happens when you have slow connection. When you send a request to put a new trade, there is a new price on the server already and the open price is different. Even more problems can come from this when you also have small stops. The thing is that in the request the Open Price is a price level, SL is a price level and TP is a price level. The trade can be opened at different Open Price, but the server does not touch SL and TP, so eventually one of them can be found on the wrong side of the open price.

For example, you want to open a new trade at 1.0000 with SL = 0.9997 and TP = 1.0003. But until your request reaches the server the price is already different and the trade can be opened at 1.0003. The Open Price is modified, but TP not and now it appears wrong because it's at the same price as the Open Price. The result - no trade, only error message.
Unfortunately MT4 does not send SL and TP as a relative values, like 0.0003 from the Open Price. It sends them as an absolute values and the problem comes from this.
And there are other problems like this 🙂

Yes, it is a simple question, I receive this question again and again, but the answer is not so simple. Check this post: post/7901

Then, try "Indicator appear". It generally works for this situation, but not always, it depends on the indicator and how it works.

Fixed for the web version. You can always add another weekday filter for the opposite days as well 🙂

OK ... yea ... thanks for the reply. I already have new ideas to get the robot to work as I want 😏

Honestly, I don't know why 🙂 I created these blocks long time ago and I'm not using them really often, and also you are the first one asking for those outputs. But yes, yellow output will be fine... probably, I'm gonna add these on the web version now.
Damn, something is wrong with this high frequency trading 😕 It's like going in a war with atomic bombs, chemical and biological weapons.

OK ...the Indicator problem is gone ...
I uninstal and reinstal Crome in my main PC.
Now FXDreema works perfectly .. i think so 🙂

Quite so , but you are a pioneer in high-level programming. The correct robots in future will require millions of algorithms
(Like Star Trek Data). My final forex bot use a little more than a hundred blocks. maybe this one is too ambitious project, but very interesting.
Perhaps the best platform for this kind should be NET Framework, but it is a different story, it.
I hope you find a compromise between the new and the old code, pointless greed for too much.
Now there are enough opportunities to create your own forex bot.
And now i open new beer ... cheers ... and Happy New Year for all ... 😄

Thank you for "Hours filter" update. Now it's easier to set a schedule for each day of the robot 🙂
