For the time zone, I'll add some code for that since I wrote it just yesterday. int timeServer = TimeCurrent(); // Server time in seconds,...
I agree with most of that. I'm just saying that without seeing the full picture of someone's life it's not particularly useful or instructive to...
Saxon22, I'm not a "successful trader" by any means, being new to all this. However, it appears to me that you are under the mistaken impression...
This is slightly OT, but how do you do this? I've never had to do it until now, and in reading up I see several ways of doing it. It seems the...
Yes, Metatrader can call com objects. MQL is basically c. Tell me if I'm barking up the wrong tree here, but I have several issues with...
