hi
im running metatrader4 on an intel mac but im having problems changing the input settings of my custom indicators, it seems they are set in stone and the only way i can change the settings is by opening the the indy and altering the code, im not much of a coder so its not workin out for me, anyone out there have a fix for a frustrating problem!!! please help!

If you double click on the “Value” field for each parameter, you should be able to change those values. That’s why they’re visible. Those that can’t be changed aren’t visible to users (you have to modify the code).
Hope this helps.
thanks for your reply
but unfortunatly that is the problem im faced with, double clicking just doesnt work.

Maybe the Intel Mac is the probelm? Try Intel IBM…
No Flame required, was joke… hehe

I’m not an mql programmer, but look at the code of one of your problem indicators.
Do you see the word “extern” in front of any of the parameters that are supposed to be user changeable when you use the indicator (they’ll be near the beginning of the coding)?
If not, then that’s the problem. It would mean that the parameters are visible but not changeable.
If that’s the case just add extern in front of the parameters that you want to change, re-compile the indicator, and save it. It should work.
Examples:
Change to extern double
2) bool
Change to extern bool
