Hi Lowphat,
Can you explain more details about this ?

wtf…thats smells fishy as hell..

Hi Simplex,

Some month ago i tried to build one based on this : https://www.xpworx.com/metatrader-mql-articles/mql4-articles/create-your-own-metatrader-extension-dll.php
but still have no success …. Still need time for this. And will try to look for opensource C compiler + development environment …
It is good to have own dll for MT4, but i…[Read more]

Hi Thomas,

Both is possible.

If you would be able to create a ‘how to’ advice for setting up a working dll and integrating it into an mq4 project, I’d be very interested! From my personal point of view, an open source C compiler and open source development environment would be preferrable.

Best, s.

Thanks Simplex 
Btw, you do you mean we should create a DLL file (may be using C# or C++), compile it, put it at Libraries folder ?
Or do you mean there is a additional compiler out there, so we can use it to compile the Mqh file, and put the compiled (Mqh becomes Ex4 now) file to Include folder ?

Thanks Simplex 

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]

Thanks Simplex for the prototype and improvement.  It is a great prototype 

the current bar won’t be calculated. Should be : i >= 0

Ahh, one more thing: with

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 All,

This is a beginner question … i try to code an indicator, but it eats my CPU and memory resources … :(   I try to optimize it by limiting the amount of bars to calculate, and also try to do the calculation not in every tick, but in every some seconds / minutes. I would like to ask, how to code it the right way ….

Hi blueface,

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

thanks a lot to all seniors for there contribution
