PLEASE CONVERT IN Mql4 INDICATOR ...

1. Don't hijack someone else's thread - post your own
2. We can only code mql4 not executables - post your own code.
3. You don't convert indicators to EAs - you create an EA that gets the indicator's values via iCustom().

@ meikel

I am very interested in your Geany solution for developing mql4. I wanted the compiled .ex4 file to be placed in the same directory as the .mq4 source file so I added "%d\%f" to the Geany filetypes.c file follows:

compiler="C:\Program Files\MetaTrader\metalang.exe" "%d\%f"

linker="C:\Program Files\MetaTrader\metalang.exe" "%d\%f"

run_cmd="C:\Program Files\MetaTrader\metalang.exe" "%d\%f"

Without the "%d\%f" option the file is placed in the appropriate folder of the metalang.exe installation directory.

.

Now I am trying to get the compiler errors to make them more readable and click-able to jump to the relevant lines. Can you or anyone help with this? I think a patch would be required to accomplish this

.

I have configured my geany to run with my metatrader. It works fine.

But is it possible to get the metatrader help in my geany editor?? For example when I print F1 on iMACD(...)?

@sunshineh
Can you share how you configured Geany editor to run with metatrader? It is interesting...
Thank you already very much.

This is an old post, but I came across the same issue while giving geany a test drive.

Add the following into the relevant filetypes definition file. For example, I modified filetypes.cpp to be used for MQL5.
