I notice a lot of requests by non-programmers for others to 'please implement an on/off button' in various indicators.  This is actually a nice handy feature to have.  Unfortunately there is a *terrible* template someone(?) is using to

I have a new Windows 11 (fully updated) Dell computer which is pretty fast (12th Gen Intel i9-12900K, 32G RAM, 2 SSD's). I like it, and with 16 cores/24 threads, I can run a lot more MT4's at once now, but there is one big drawback, which is that

I'm using the latest MT4 1220, and a normal "default" template for new chart.  I don't know for how long this bug has existed, but I noticed the same symptom reported years ago... Steps to easily reproduce this bug: Start MT4.  Clear away

Hi MT4 programmers, I have indicators that create objects .  For a few of my indicators, I might add more than one (of the same indicator) to a chart. A problem will occur if the indicators both create and delete the same object names

Hello expert MT4 programmers and users. I've written a lot of MT4 indicators, some with even >25K lines, so I am in fact a serious programmer. However, I'm not so strong with code algorithms, and in particular, I am struggling with how to

Hi all, I've written or modified several MT4 indicators & scripts but am a bit stuck on how to approach the writing of a rather complex EA I have in mind. I'm looking for suggestions, and even better, some examples of other EA's that might do

I'm using MT4 4.00 build 509, but this bug has been around for quite some time. The attached program draws Daily cycle lines using DRAW_HISTOGRAM to draw vertical DOT lines. The desired line style is DOT, which works when zoomed out, but if one zooms

Hi mql5 experts,  I have programmed several sophisticated indicators in MQL4, some even >25K lines (!).  It represents years of work, and happily for me anyway, most brokers show little sign of phasing out support for MT4.  I would

I have in mind a script to drag onto a chart with indicators that will simply toggle the visibility of those same indicator(s). It is easy enough to get a WindowsTotal() count, and then for each window, check "WindowIsVisible(idx)"

Hi MQL4 programmers, I am wanting to create text and label objects using the same font_name, font_size, and font_color as an existing text or label object. However, I cannot find any function which will retrieve for me the FONT_NAME! I need to create

Hi all, I need some programming help. What I want to do is kind of trivial to do if done graphically, but I haven't figured out how to do it inside an indicator program. 1. Rename objects: I want to rename chart objects such as an OBJ_FIBO so that it

Hi, As far as I know, today I must write a script and assign a hotkey to it if I want to create additional hotkeys beyond the default set. 1. First request: Add a 2nd hotkey "=" to do a Zoom-In command. Since the "+" is already
