:good: perfect .Thank you very much!!
Whew! Important part was page 2 & 3 where you add a broker. He put in what seemed to me to be the Cowboy Go Markets web address and it worked.

Tomasso, I have a bit of a challenge in that the programme is not letting me upload the PDF. It's 2345 here and I have had my 2nd 400Km day - and I am pretty much shot - and I have another long day tomorrow so I am off to bed. :smile:

I have split the pdf into 3 so each one was not too big.

I will check in again in a few hours to see what you have to say!

Sorry I couldn't get it to you right now!

Cheers
Doc

For anyone facing issues with MyFXB publisher EA ( i.e, looks like it's running but statement not being sent ), re-download the EAInstaller.exe ( from: Portfolio >> Add Account >> Add Account >> MetaTrader4 EA ) and re-install. It's a 2014 update that works OK right out the box with the new build.

Aligning EAs and Indicators

To ensure your EAs are fully functional on the updated Empty4 platform you will need to align your EAs and indicators with the updated MQL4 language. To do this, there are two options:

Option 1: Contact your EA provider if you do not have the source code available and request an updated version of the EA.

Option 2: If you have written your own EAs or you already have the source code available, please follow these steps:

- Navigate to Tools > MetaQuotes Language Editor – a new window will appear
- Navigate to View > Navigator – the Navigator box will appear in this window (if not shown already)
- Double-click on the EA/indicator you would like to use and update – the relevant EA script will appear in the main window
- Alternatively navigate to File > Open to locate the relevant EA/indicator source code saved on your computer
- Click on Compile in the toolbar on top of the main window (or navigate to File > Compile) – a message will appear in the Toolbox window at the bottom
- Once this has completed and there are no error messages displayed you will need to close and reopen Empty4 – your EAs and indicators should now be ready to use

Kind Regards,
Vantage FX Support

I have backup copies of Empty4 b509's terminal.exe, metalang.exe, and metaeditor.exe . With these files, you can still continue to use b509 for a while anyway.

Metaquotes was incredibly irresponsible in how they rolled out these updates. Empty4 544+ is technically Empty4.5....not the same Empty4 that we are all used to, yet they just forced everyone over all at once. And brokers aren't putting enough pressure on MQ to at least provide for users to have some choice in the matter.

MaryJane's resizer update

Post by MaryJane »

fixed :smile:
passing strings from/to user32.dll the quick and dirty way doesn't work with ansi winapi anymore.

unfortunately, i had to drop the infinite loop inside the ea.. new Empty4 builds behave very angry when calling winapi from within a loop, everything is fine if the crap is driven by ticks.. so if you insist on smooth operation independent of ticks coming from the price feed, you have to run some tick generator in background.. considering this, there is really no advantage in using the EA rather than the indicator, the reason for using the EA has been its independence on ticks, and that's gone.. i recommend to simply attach the indi version to any chart and run a ticker all the time.
InputResizerEA_600.mq4
InputResizer_600.mq4
NB: the attached versions won't work with older builds because of calling unicode winapi things.. so if you're still using 509 or below, stick to the original code.

cheers, J ;)
