Re: Convert MT4 indicators to MT5

Argh... Timeframe references at H1 or higher in MQL5 are not the same as in MQL4. My previous fix in version 3 blew up the middle timeframes. My bad. Fixed in version 4 which organically calculates the current timeframe from seconds:

Unfortunately, that indicator is copyrighted by an MQL5.com seller, and I'm prohibited from reverse engineering such code by MQL5.com terms because I'm another MQl5.com seller. Although 217 lines of code may be simple in MQL4, incorporation of 3 standard MQL5 indicators will likely be about 300 lines of code. If no one else chimes in to help you, I suggest that you search YouTube for "Writing a Metatrader 5 Indicator Step by Step." It will explain the indicator handles, arrays, and CopyBuffers required in MQL5 among other code elements.

if you have time, please convert the following indicators into the MT5 version.

I am having no luck searching for an mt5 Sema123Triangle or 2nd DOT indicator. Does anyone know where to find? If not, I would like to kindly request the conversion of the Sema indi provided by Jedidiah. Thank you for your time and consideration for mine and Jedidiah’s requests.
