a) we must include current bar, although it is not finish yet …. agree
It depends on your specific indicator / EA logic, whether you decide to include the current bar or not.
b) In this case, if we want to keep the amount of bar to 1000 (if it is smaller than Bars-IndicatorCounted() … ) , we need to begin with i=limit-1 ?
Is it really import…[Read more]

It is an option of the UpdateMode setting.

Ahh, one more thing: with
for (int i=limit; i>0; i–)
the current bar won’t be calculated. Should be i >= 0

Hi Tom!
Did not look into your code in depth, yet I would suggest that you quit the old school standard of coding MT4 indicators ( int start()… int init() ). The sooner, the better!
Some day MetaQuotes will stop supporting MT4, and you will be forced to recode every MQ4 code you have in MQ5. This will require much less work if you code y…[Read more]

Hi blueface,
That means the indicator should be able to display session specific candles?

UpdateEveryBars option is still valid. An optimization occurs when UpdateEveryBars bars have passed since previous optimization and a complete tradeset has been formed.

@Anti: Thanks ‘for the flowers’, first of all!

Is it really necessary to align CIX with fundamental data?
Well, I’m not really sure. That’s why I started this discussion. One example: lately I aligned CIX output with some fundamentals like Central Bank Interest rates for all 8 CIX currencies, looking for some correlation. I found none.
Thus,…

At the moment, I am considering to align my CIX based currency strength analysis with results of fundamental analysis.
So my question is: do you consider fundamentals in your FX strategies? And if yes, what are your sources of information?
I found the quarterly SEB currency strategy report as an example, see pic (single page out of 58 pages). See…[Read more]

Volceq can automate time based breakout trading strategies. A box is formed by the highest and the lowest price levels during a certain period. Then we wait for price to break through any of these levels plus/minus a user defined buffer and we open a trade according to the direction of the breakout. You can download it and study the user guide here…[Read more]

Hi Frika,
Since you’re addressing me directly: I’ve never worked with Node.js, so only can wish you ‘Good luck’ in fixing those issues. Maybe you could also place your question in that thread:

Hello Maik,
On your website I read about creating an API token which shall be required for Admin and Payment purpose. Hence my question: what’s the reason for ‘payments’? Is this a commercial offer?

You seem to offer the .ex4 file for download only. From a coder’s point of view, I would not recommend using this EA, even if interested in…[Read more]

So I assume it’s about connecting MT4 to web-based platforms?
If you have a prototype that works inside certain limitations why don’t you just post it here to start a process of extending those limitations?
Might be a start for some discussion.
