Comment on Tick data – 99% modeling quality with Metatrader 4 by birt

Thanks for the suggestions. Even though the speed difference is probably rather insignificant and there are a whole bunch of other things that could be optimized, I will implement your changes in one of the next versions.

As a side note, if I’m not mistaken, writing “5 * 5″ in MQL is the same as writing “25″ as far as the compiled ex4 is concerned. I’m not an expert on ex4 structure so I might be wrong on this. The reason I wrote 1440 * 60 was to allow the source to be slightly more readable; in fact I usually write it 24 * 60 * 60, not sure why I wrote it 1440 * 60 there.

Hi Birt
Here is a little short cut which can ever so slightly speed up processing.

Jforex line:

cur_open = cur_time;
cur_open -= cur_open % (1440 * 60);
while (TimeDayOfWeek(cur_open) != 0) {
cur_open -= 1440 * 60;
}
}
can be replaced by:
cur_open = cur_time – cur_time % (86400);
cur_open -= TimeDayOfWeek(cur_open)*86400

similarly for weekly bar use:
cur_open -= (TimeDay(cur_open)-1)*86400

You must’ve been running a rather old version, like several months old. Good to hear you got it running.

Are you using a recent version (0.20+)?

I´ve searched all the FAQ comment posts for a solution. Two common problems:

- DLL´s allowed: yes
- Patch reapplied: yes
The programs starts and exits after 5 sec, as posted below.

Any idea? Please help.
