praise, one possible bug and some suggestions - page 3

 
You're welcome.

You have ecellent code quality ... with most other programs I find bugs within hours and with MT it had taken me days of intense use to find this little problem. It is one of the best programs of I have ever used.

Slawa :
thanx for found bug!

Has this issue been resolved with a patch, or have the various cases where this bug occurs been documented? I am having this problem as well, but conversion of bool parameters to int parameters has not resolved it. Are there other parameter types that should be avoided?


Thanks,


MM

Hello!

Let me first say, that MetaTrader 4 is on of the finest pieces of software I have ever seen in any field. I'm a software developer myself and probably look software differently, but I really get a kick out of this program just by using it. It thoughtful, it is well designed, not a pixel or field out of place and a dream to program (especially for a C++ guy like me). Excellent job done and every dollar earned (by selling it) well deserved!

So much for the praise, but I have a couple of comments anyway. :-)

iCustom: I'm using a iCustom call in an Expert. In the Journal I get tons of "indicator loaded" messages (seems to be one for each tick) and at the end of the Expert/Journal ther are tons of "indicator unloaded" messages.

Help File: I did look for a way to pass variables by reference for some time. I eventually found it in a sample but it would probably be a good idea to add this to the "function definition" chapter in the help file.

Suggestion: What would be nice is if there would be a way to chang the order of symbols in the Market Watch. I usually deal only a few major pairs (3-5 maybe) and defining the order and maybe allowing a bigger font would be nice.

Suggestion#2: Display SL and TP lines in the Chart window (for active orders) in different colors or make colors user defined. And maybe just with a dotted line instead of dash-dot.

Suggestion#3: Allow a Default Chart profile which is used by all charts which are opened for the first time or at least for the "Show Chart" window in the Backtester. I'm doing a lot of backtesting and did not find a way to change the style in which these come up and when aplying a chart template to this window the Buy/Sell symbols are lost.


Okay, so much for now ... as said this is an excellent program and please take the suggestions as just what they are: suggestions. I don't need an answer on these (except if the feature is already there and I missed it), but I'd like to know about the iCustom thing.

Many thanks and keep up the good work
