it shows me error message about "this project uses block that was abandoned..." but other than that I don't see anything else missing. So it looks like it's actually working!

oh well, it's not urgent so I guess I'll manage using copy/paste for now

I developed a large ea in mt5 that opens only 1 trade at a time and now I want to test it in mt4. The ea has hundreds of blocks and many variables. If I manually enter the variables and copy/paste the blocks it's still a tremendous amount of work because the variable placements within the blocks get messed up when copied over. It would be great if there was an easier way to translate mt5 projects to mt4 and vice-versa.

ok thanks

ok got it so in the case of candle size upper level of 10 means 10 pips and lower level of 0 means 0 pips. If candle[n] is between 0 and 10 pips, block will pass.

hmmm - I remember you explained previously that fixed values are the indicator lines like 30 & 70 but in this case since we are talking about candles and presumably pips, what are the upper/lower level values?

nice - so it looks like those are 2 different ways of doing the same thing?

... figured it out using a variable and dynamic value but is there any use for dynamic value > pips in this block?

Is there a way to use this block to detect if candle movement of the last 10 candles is within 20 pips vertical range, then execute orange output?

that's it, only for that ea. It's working now - thank you!

How do I display the spread in mt4 610 build?

great, thank you. When will the update be available in the desktop version?

the "Set "Current Timeframe" for next blocks" block does not seem to work in mq5 on the D1 timeframe.
Also, if you set the block to the same timeframe as the test (ex. H4), it displays different results than hardcoding the timeframe.

for example if you run this test on the H4 timeframe it draws the vertical line differently when the timeframe block is connected vs. when it is not connected: http://fxdreema.com/shared/nOYdDaEZd

I am trying to test whether this ea recognizes different timeframe outside of current timeframe of test. I am trying to test for the crossover of ma20 and ma50 that occurs on 27-february-2013.

The test you gave me before that prints uses an indicator tester block to print the daily high no matter what timeframe the test is run under works fine. I also know the fxt files I am using are accurate because if you run the following ea on the D1 timeframe, it draws the veritical line at 27-february-2013 00:00. But, if you try running the test on H4, H1 or M15 timeframe, it draws the line several days later on 3-mar-2013 20:00.

The test works on mt5 but I can't get it to work on mt4. I am using tickstory data. FXT file sizes are less than 1GB.

Any ideas? Thank you

ok, I understand - no pressure. I was referring to text (http://docs.mql4.com/en/constants/objec ... t/obj_text) - being able to print any text, including "this is example of text" over the candle. Would be a nice feature to have but not critical

I see a "delete objects" block but I don't see one to create objects. Maybe there is a feature within aother block to add a text object?

I want to say "if the distance in time (horizontal distance, not veritical) between point and and point b is less than 10 candles"

... I might have asked you this before but can't find the answer: any way to print comments on candle itself instead of at top left corner of chart?

I am playing around with the "check the distance between two levels" block to try to do the following: if the distance between point A (candle close[0]) and point B (MA20/50 crossover which is stored in a variable) is less than 10 candles, then execute orange output. For "... this value" I'm using Value -> Time -> Candle Time but it's not working. Any ideas?

ok, good to know about group #s - thanks. I tried using "indicator tester" to print custom text but it returns an error when exporting ex4 file.
