While we are all giving OOTB so much love (!), here are some pretty much OOTB results (with no higher timeframe stuff) from the 10th onwards, still just about in profit. Clear split between the pair performances and the time of day the trades were opened (UK time). 870 closed and still open trades included

One for the Clever Coders here.

In the happy sun-filled days before the Cretins at Crapperquotes brought out build 6xxx, we had a function that checked for the presence of any required indicators and alerted the user if one was missing. Build 6xxx broke this, so I removed it.

I want to reinstate it but cannot work out how. Any of you guys know the solution?

How about something crude like this:

Code: Select all

bool indiExists( string indiName ) {

   bool exists = false;
   
   ResetLastError();
   double value = iCustom( Symbol(), Period(), indiName, 0, 0 );
   if ( GetLastError() == 0 ) exists = true;
   
   return(exists);
   
}

Cheers

Oh crap. I never thought of something simple and crude. There I was looking into al sorts of high-fallutin' stuff and failing to make any sense of it.

Thanks.

Works a treat. Thanks. I am able to involve some abuse in the message that points out that the user is a thickee.

V 2c is in post 1.

You do not need this update if you are not a lazy, stupid, brainless dimwit too bog-brained-bone-idle to read the user guide. All it contains is a few dimwit checks to alert the brainless that their Indicators folder does not contain the required indi. Give yourself a quick laugh by setting HGI_Name to something daft and see what happens.

For those of you too thick and lazy to work out the basics for yourselves, I have included a few more dimwit checks; no doubt you find new ways to fuck this up. Congratulations when you manage it; this will be an achievement, of sorts. Rather along the lines of me finding it bordering on admirable when dimwits refuse steadfastly to read anything I write anywhere, whatever the circumstances. Stupidity at this level deserves a sort of grudging admiration.

It occurred to me that moving the Indi inputs to the top of the file to try to bludgeon the cretins over the head with the need to do some actual thinking might be a help, so I have done so. I would have written, "I hope this helps them" but that would imply that I care about them. Anybody reading this still under the delusion that this is so should seek therapy immediately.

Nobody with the faintest idea what is going on here needs 2c. Ignore it.

I have decided to come clean. Everyone likes a laugh at my expense. I am almost too ashamed to type what follows.

Gulp. Here goes.

I started to type what would have finished up as, "You do realise that the spell checker would have passed your post, don't you." before I stopped and engaged my one firing synapse for a millisecond.



I would probably fall for the old, "Hey guess what? 'Gullible' has been removed from the dictionary."

Hey ho.
