Description & Settings
Related: cme futures volume - another powerful expert for MetaTrader 4 traders.
this expert advisor is designed to save the history of futures volume quotes to a file for subsequent display by indicators.Also recommended: imi t trade - similar expert with strong performance on MetaTrader 4.
it is recommended to run the advisor on a separate chart and not to switch timeframes on this chart.
before launching the advisor, ensure that all futures quote instruments are present in the 'market watch' window of the mt4 trading terminal. both bid/ask and last futures quotes should be available. if any instrument is missing from 'market watch', quotes for that instrument will not be recorded, as the advisor records quotes for all available instruments simultaneously.
it is recommended to perform the 'show all symbols' operation in 'market watch' to ensure all futures quotes are recorded.
the advisor saves the 'last' quotes to files in the standard folder: terminal\experts\files. each file contains data for one trading week and is named with the date + instrument (currency) and has a '.vol' extension. after starting the advisor on a chart, upon receiving the first tick, it enters a looped mode (independent of ticks).
the advisor's normal operation can be confirmed by the running clock in the upper left corner (comment) of the chart where the advisor is installed. when switching the trading terminal to a trading server that does not provide futures quotes, the advisor will automatically stop and display the message 'not have any futures symbols. system stopped.' when switching back to a server with futures quotes, the advisor will automatically restart upon receiving the first tick.
the user variable 'deletethissymbols' is intended to exclude specific futures symbols from the recording process. enter the unwanted futures symbols separated by commas.
currently, we provide quotes for the following instruments: faudusd, fcadusd, fchfusd, feurusd, feurgbp, feurjpy, fgbpusd, fnzdusd, fusdjpy, fusdcad, fusdchf = futures concatenation; f6em3, f6eu3, f6ez3 = near/far contracts for feurusd.
