I suppose somewhere the code needs to know what #'s 0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 refer to in linestyle ... H'mmm
Errors only came up with 2 - 1 at the top somewhere and 1 at the bottom ... should have copied them for reference
Who's a plonker then ... style was already there
Question is what are the options apart from Solid and Dot
Will have to have a look at someone elses code
Looks like it's
Solid
DashDash
Dot
DashDotDash
DashDotDotDash
So i am guessing somewhere the above needs identifying with numbers
Needed to get this done so I can go to bed without thinking about it all night
The only thing I am thinking about is ... Number the lines ... H'mmm

Want to thank you Hayseed for introducing your signature to me - Makes perfect sense to split up the blocks of code - Helps prevent

hey maverick...... quite often the actual errors reported won't be the actual errors..... so it might say your missing a '}' when actually your missing a '=' ..... there are errors where it will list each one individually..... and other times it will list them only by type with no mention of how many of each type...... the more errors you have the more you will become familiar with what it means.....
you can look in the code you posted for the errors..... there are several places, like below, that need both ';' and '}' ..... maybe 4 other places only need a '}'..... the '{' in the deint section is out of place..... maybe some more..... can't remember.....
these are the same errors we all make......h

if ((Ask > PriceAbove_1) && (PriceAbove_1 > 0)) { Alert("Price above the alert level 1."); PlaySound("ring.wav"); SendMail("Price for " + Symbol() + " above the alert level 1 " + Ask, "Price for " + Symbol() + " reached " + Ask + " level, which is above your alert level of 1 " + PriceAbove_1); ObjectDelete("PriceAbove_1"); PriceAbove_1= 0 [COLOR=#ff4d4d]//---- missing ; //---- missing }[/COLOR]
Well I decided to go back to the original plan of 5 UP and 5 down
Initially I had 9 errors
Luckily they were easy ones
Again thank you Hayseed for your assistance - appreciated

How could Maverick with a little help choose which wav files to use - I'm thinking choice of two ... Good and Bad ... Beyond me unfortunately but could it be an automatic selection depending on the trade. I wouldn't expect you to do all the work ... just guide me
If you place a BUY trade the Green lines when hit are Good for you and the Red Bad and vice versa with a SELL trade
My idea is to find/create a Good wav file for when the trade is in your favour and a BAD wav when the trade is going against you
When you are doing something else it's a feel good factor to hear money going into the bank On the other hand if you hear it going down the toilet you had better review the situation asap

Forget about the previous post 69 which was a good idea at the time ... thought of possible easier solution
Looking to have the PlaySound choice from a dropdown of available sounds in the Sound folder
Once you have decided upon the overall trend it's not something that you will be changing every five minutes once set
Been looking at the code from another EA and have come up with
Am i on the right tracks and what do i do with ?
How do i tie it all together

hey maverick..... for PlaySound() to work effectively it must be short.... anything longer than 1 second is too long.....h

MQL4:
extern double above1 = 0.0; extern string above1wav = "email.wav"; // keep sounds less than 2 seconds long extern double below1 = 0.0; extern string below1wav = "timeout.wav"; //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Custom indicator initialization function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ int init() { //--- indicator buffers mapping //--- return(0); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| expert deinitialization function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ int deinit() { //---- //---- return(0); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ int start() { if((Ask > above1) && (above1 > 0.0)) {PlaySound(above1wav);} // keep your sounds short if((Ask < below1) && (below1 > 0.0)) {PlaySound(below1wav);} //----------- expand to as many lines as needed //----------- be sure to limit the number of times the PlaySound() works otherwise they never stop till untrue return(0); } //------

O'oops I was thinking along the lines of something like beep,beep,beep,beep,beep for above5 which I would make up with Audacity
But then again if I read you right I can determine how may times to play beep
.
I have
at the moment ... so am i just replacing
with
and presumably the 0.0 is the number of times it plays
.

It came from the automatic code highlighting engine, which also adds URLs to the relevant function description pages.
So I need to watch out for it and delete BEFORE posting - never seen it before though
No, you just need to be careful when editing formatted code quotes and when editing your own code posts. When you insert new code snippets, it should not appear in such a broken manner.
So what you are saying is to leave well alone
and not to start removing bits in [brackets]
When you copy it to MetaEditor? Yes, you should remove it. Otherwise it will give you compilation errors.
