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.

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]

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?

@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]

For those not only interested in coloured technical signals on a chart, but also in fundamentals driving economies and thus currency values:

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:

And if you manage to fix it, that would definitely be worth to be posted, ok?

An interesting paper: Cointegration Analysis of Financial Time Series Data
Haven’t read it in detail yet, but looks promising (especially for our R specialists).

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]
simplex replied to the topic Websocket with MT4 in the forum Development 9 years, 5 months ago
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.

Hi Maik,
Interesting question! Can you provide links to other websocket applications that might serve as examples or even prototypes?
And also: what would be the exact purpose of this connection?

Here’s the original story referenced by the FF article …
Sooner or later we’ll have to get used to the idea of migrating our mq4 code.

Not sure what the big secret is when it’s already on a very public forum
@e3: thanks for pointing us there, although the topic is not discussed over there in depth. Good to know where it’s from anyway.

Hi @Bartleby!
Thanks for joining in. You’re right: my intention was not to be mean, just honest.
Solidarity? Yes, and a bit more: for me, as a coder, I consider it a question of honour to pay my fellow coder respect and give him (or her) the credits he deserved for his work if I modify and republish somebody else’s code. This is even more…[Read more]
