Last february the Metatrader4 platform has been updated to build 600; this update included the MetaEditor 5 (build 883) as default. Some of my indicators have not been acting as supposed to, so in the following days/weeks I will post updated/revised versions of all of them.
I assume this issue is some sort of migration conflict from the MetaEditor4 to the newer version, but this opportunity would allow me to review my code and improve upon it, making it more efficient and reducing the number of lines.
The indicator that I've been using the most lately is the H_ForexMarketHours, and it has had some issues with the plotting of the values; this was easily fixed when switching between timeframes in the chart where it's attached, but with the mentioned MT4 update, this indicator broke. Because of this, I'm updating it (from v1.03 to v1.04) which fixes all the issues.
One important aspect to consider is, the path where indicators are copied has also changed:
before ../Program Files/mt4/experts/indicators/
after ../Program Files/mt4/MQL4/indicators/
Any new indicator must be copied to the MQL4/indicators/ folder. With the platform update, old indicators were migrated to version 5 and copied automatically to the new location. I'm planning to delete the old files to avoid misunderstandings.
This post is also a reminder of the daylight saving time change, so if you use my H_ForexMarketHours indicator, adjust the offsets accordingly. You can verify any local times here or you could look for similar sites. Google is also useful.
The updated version of H_ForexMarketHours is here, or you could visit the MT4 Tools page where you can find other useful stuff.
