Highliting MQL4 and MQL5 Code

[Enivid]

Dear Forum users!

I am glad to announce that EarnForex.com Forum now fully supports MQL4 and MQL5 highlighting. If you insert a peace of code, be it indicator, expert advisor, script or something else, written in MQL4 or MQL5, you can now highlight with a simple highlight tag.

For MQL4:
[HIGHLIGHT="MQL4"][/HIGHLIGHT]

For MQL5:
[HIGHLIGHT="MQL5"][/HIGHLIGHT]

Or simply use our special Editor buttons:


WARNING: You might need to refresh the page with Ctrl+F5 in your browser for the Editor buttons to start inserting highlighting syntax.

Our forum is currently the only forum supporting full MQL4/MQL5 highlighting. It closely resembles the highlighting seen in MQL Editor. Even official MetaQuotes forums can't beat us here: MQL4.com's highlighting is a joke, MQL5.com's is good but lacks some features. So, if you need to discuss MQL code, EarnForex.com Forum is your choice. If you want to discuss pink unicorns - choose other forums.

Now, it's recommended to use highlighting when you write your posts. After all, something like this:

#property copyright "EarnForex.com"
#property link      "http://www.earnforex.com"
#property version   "1.00"

#property description "Displays the Market Profile indicator for the daily trading sessions."

#property indicator_chart_window

input datetime  StartFromDate  = D'';
input bool	    StartFromToday = true;
input int 		DaysToCount    = 2; // Number of days for which to count the Market Profile
input int 		ColorScheme    = 0; // 0 - Blue to Red, 1 - Red to Green, 2 - Green to Blue
input color 	MedianColor    = clrWhite;
input color 	ValueAreaColor = clrWhite;

int DigitsM; 					// Amount of digits normalized for standard 4 and 2 digits after dot
datetime StartDate; 			// Will hold either StartFromDate or Time[0]
double onetick; 				// One normalized pip
int SecondsInPeriod; 		// Will hold calculated amount of seconds in the selected timeframe period
bool FirstRunDone = false; // If true - OnCalculate() was already executed once

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Custom indicator initialization function                         |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnInit()
{
   IndicatorSetString(INDICATOR_SHORTNAME, "MarketProfile");

	// Normalizing the digits to standard 4- and 2-digit quotes
	if (_Digits == 5) DigitsM = 4;
	else if (_Digits == 3) DigitsM = 2;
	else DigitsM = _Digits;

	if (_Period == PERIOD_M30) SecondsInPeriod = 1800;
	if (_Period == PERIOD_M15) SecondsInPeriod = 900;
	if (_Period == PERIOD_M5) SecondsInPeriod = 300;

	onetick = NormalizeDouble(1 / (MathPow(10, DigitsM)), DigitsM);
}

Looks much better when it is highlighted:

    // Normalizing the digits to standard 4- and 2-digit quotes
    if (_Digits == 5) DigitsM = 4;
    else if (_Digits == 3) DigitsM = 2;
    else DigitsM = _Digits;

    if (_Period == PERIOD_M30) SecondsInPeriod = 1800;
    if (_Period == PERIOD_M15) SecondsInPeriod = 900;
    if (_Period == PERIOD_M5) SecondsInPeriod = 300;

    onetick = NormalizeDouble(1 / (MathPow(10, DigitsM)), DigitsM);
}
