For anyone else who is looking... from one novice to (perhaps) another...

After spending half a day reading "how to program in MQL4" web pages (isn't the internet useful!), I concluded that the best way to get the maximum value (or minimum, or whatever) in a set of formulae was to do some custom coding, which I did in the "Custom MQL4 Code" block available in the excellent FxDreema.

So, the image shows what I end up with in the user interface:

My especial thanks to Mr fxDreema himself for his help with this.

Thank you so much. I'm very grateful. I guess the problem I have is being a spreadsheet user, and not familiar enough with programming logic! I'll go away and work with what you've given me here, which looks like the answer to my issue.
Thanks again.;)

Sorry, I'm back again!

I've created the following shared project to illustrate my query:

http://fxdreema.com/shared/RLmTCDBcc

So... at 01:00hrs the EA picks up some information using the 3 formulas
Then... at 01:15hrs, it checks to see which formula resulted in the highest value (I hope I've understood the logic here - please say if I'm wrong!)

...but where can I store the resulting value coming out of one of the 3 "and" statements? Ideally I'd like it to be a variable, changed daily by this process so that I can use this variable later on.

Or am I going totally wrong?

Many thanks.

Thank you very much for the speedy reply! I'm completely new to trading and MetaTrader, so this web site is a godsend! I only signed up yesterday, but already I'm getting to grips with things, and I feel I'll be taking out a paid subscription based on my experience thus far.

Thanks again.

Hello

I've constructed 3 formulas. Now I'd like to find the maximum one. In spreadsheet terms, "Max(formula1;formula2;formula3)".

I may have missed the obvious, and if I have please point me in the right direction!

Thanks.
