Auto refresh indicator capability for mt4?

I'm using an indicator that seems to lag as far as updating goes and sometimes needs a refresh if it's changed.

Is there an indicator that can be added to mt4 to auto refresh the charts every x amount of time often?

Unless you also have the source files (*.mq4) with your indicator, you won't be able to make the wanted change.

If you have the source code, then you should have a look inside the main function...

Somewhere around the first lines, there should be the instanciation of a variable that will be used as a delimiter (so that you don't re-compute the whole chart for each new candle). You should try to change the formula, maybe just increasing(or reducing) the limit by just 1, and then check if it's ok.

It is also possible that you are using a indicator that does repaint past details (values, slope, crosses, ...), in which case, there will be no solution, unless you make the indicator lag enough so that when the true event appear, it won't go away. The main problem with this method would be the lagging part...

You choose, lag or repaint

That being said, i hope for you that you will be able to solve this problem.

Here is a freeware tool that sends "simulated ticks" to your mt4 that will help to refresh the chart.

3.0 need recode to 6XX

Hello can you create an indicator or EA such that when I attach it to the chart it auto disables AutoTrading when MT4 platform disconnects and when MT4 platform reconnects back again it enables the AutoTrading again after x minutes. Is it possible anybody? Thanks.

This ea will do what you need.

Thank you but I need and indicator or EA that auto disables AutoTrading when MT4 platform disconnects from the INTERNET and when it reconnects back, the indicator or EA enables AutoTrading again after x minutes. This EA doesn't do that and besides its very complicated, Anyone please?

I have this AutoRefresh Indicator but I want to make it also disable AutoTrading before refreshing the chart. The function is to make the indicator or EA Automatically disable AutoTrading every X minutes and then Auto Refreshes All Open Charts and then finally enable AutoTrading again after X minutes of refresh. Can anybody add this features to this indicator. Thank you.


AutoDisableAutoTrading = true
AutoDisableAutoTradingAfterMinutes = 60 minutes
AutoRefreshAllChartsAfterDisableAutoTrading = true
EnableAutoTradingAfterRefreshMinutes = 2 minutes

Is there anybody who can do it? I would really appreciate it and it would also help others who have very good repainting indicators coded into EAs like FX_FISH_2MA. Thank you.

Hey how do i edit this indicator to refresh at the end of the day? Meaning the auto trading will be enabled for the new date?

Hi, just use this indicator to refresh your chart. #Post 10

Use (if you on VPS) 86400sec.
Use (without VPS) example 3600sec (every hour)
Use (without VPS) example 30sec at the end of the day.

I hope it helps...

these codes might be better for represhing entire template but i am very much limited to coding.

and the problem i face with this is it disables EA - so no autotrading with the EA you have on your charts.

if you add these code lines to your indicator or EA then your indicator or EA will reload the template.

extern string TemplateName = "My_Template"; //Template File Name
extern ENUM_TIMEFRAMES TemplateLoadTime = PERIOD_M1; //Template Load Time
//*****************************************//

//******add theses lines on void OnDeinit********//

//————————————————————————————|
void OnDeinit(const int reason)
{
objDelete(UniqueID);
// ObjectsDeleteAll();
ChartRedraw();
}
//—————————————————————————————|


//******Put this at the End of int OnInit ()********************//
//*------------------------------------------------------------*
bool NewBar(int tf=PERIOD_CURRENT)
{
static datetime BarsRef = iTime(_Symbol, tf, 0); //pass first time or set it to 0

if( BarsRef == 0 || BarsRef < iTime(_Symbol, tf, 0))
{
BarsRef = iTime(_Symbol, tf, 0);
return (true);
}
return(false);
}
//***********************************************//


//*******then add these lines on int OnCalculate( for indicators) or on void OnTick () (For EAs) *********//

if(NewBar(TemplateLoadTime))
{

if(StringLen(TemplateName)>1)
{
Print("Change template result: ",ChartApplyTemplate(0,TemplateName));
}
}
//************************************************//


you are done you have your indicator or EA reloading every M1 to NM new bar you choose.. just make sure you have the indicador reloader loaded on Graphic before save the template with the name "My_Template ".

Can anyone fix not to disable the EA when refreshing the Templates?

in my opinion if you want to refresh the chart automatically, you should not use the Template trigger because if the EA is already running and then you change the template then your EA will stop....Use another trigger for that, for example using Period or time so that the EA you can still run.

Hi, thank you for this code, however I need some clarification on the input.

If I enter 3600 secs (1 hour), will it happen every hour based on TimeCurrent() or from the attachment of the indicator, as example if I attached it at 12:32:45, meant that the 1st refresh will occur at 13:32:45?

You mentioned an example to set it at 30 sec at the end of day, how do I set it to happen once every 30 secs after market open.

Thank you in advance.
