Two Dimensional Array vs One Dimensional Array

Can anybody describe how you would go about implementing it and to? I understand a one dimensional array has a max of 50 components and would seem like so: my_array that is double[50] . But if I were to bring a second dimension, does it turn into a multiplier of the first that, if it too contained a max of 50 components, does this mean it now has a max of 2500 (50 x 50) components? What I need is also a one dimensional array by itself and a array with at least 250 components I'm afraid won't work. I guess this may be correct, so I guess all I must do is attempt to implement it.

This is precisely what I mean to perform. Does it seem right?

PHP Code: <code> for(inti=0;Ilt;=49;I )

for(intii=0;iilt;=49;ii )

if(Ask=TargNumber91;INumber93;#91;ii#93;-RRB-

Tk_1#91;I#93;#91;ii#93;=OrderSend(Symbol1,OP_BUY,Lots1,Ask,Slip1,0,0,'''',0,0,Lime);
Gate1Number91;I#93;#91;ii#93;=1;Gate0#91;I#93;#91;ii#93;=1;

 </code> Thank you in advance.

Of course this doesn't tell anything. I guess that would help.

Hello ec.... Not certain how your coming at a maximum of 50.... Also not sure what your trying to accomplish.... But here are a few thoughts....

Single arrays could be thought of as 1 liners.... Like Close[], Open[] and these....

Dual arrays could be thought of as a checker board....

Int board[8][8]; here the number of components is put....

So if a said board[3,6] , you ought to be aware of exactly which square he was talking of.... And when he explained board[3,9], you would know he'd know clue as to what he was talkin about....

Three deminsional arrays could be thought of as a rubicks cube....

Int cube[3][3][3];

so if a person said cube[2,0,1] you can, know exactly the destination/address/data....

//------

all that aside, a single array can hold many components.... It could most likely manage your task...h

Wow! Yeah I see what you are saying. I was basically correct when saying when I had a two dimensional range group at 50 in each measurement, it would return 2500 (i.e., 50 x 50) elements. Or, even if it had been a 3 dimensional array, it would return 125,000.

As far as the highest amount of elements is concerned, apparently I must have misunderstood when studying about it awhile back.

This was the only place I could find it referenced at the MQL4 Reference below Array purposes:

:

A group of functions to work with arrays.

Arrays are permitted to be maximum four-dimensional. Each measurement is indexed from 0. In a specific instance of a one-dimensional array of 50 elements, calling of the first element will appear as array[0], of the one - as selection[49].

So yes, it looks like they are only giving this as an illuion, rather than specifying a maximum. So this is a good idea to know!

Hey, Thanks!

Hello ec.... Yes, this is my view also...h

Okay, having said that, I generated a new one dimensional array using 250 elements and plotted them 8 point intervals on the grid, and I am still having the same problem. It's bypassing every 5th period rather than plotting it on the grid. Which would be understandable (or at least give me some idea why) when I had been creating 5 arrays and stacking them like I earlier but, now I am not. So I looked at the code and made sure there was no longer any references to the number 5 (I used it as a multiplier two before) imagining it was somehow related to the cause, but nope, it does the specific same thing. Weird!

Just what are you wanting to do.... h

I am attempting to plot a grid system, which places a trade every so many points (currently it's place at 8). However, it's missing or not putting a trade at every interval, like I said. And it doesn't seem to matter how I go about doing it, whether it's 5 separate arrays, which are piled and contain 50 elements or, while it's a array.

Hello ec.... If your goal is to simply place trades, might be simplier only to employ a loop.... This is done with a script, not an ea.... But it may be carried out in a true ea....

are you familar with loops.... Such as under....

Highly imply scripts only.... Might be errors in my code, didn't test it...h

Inserted Code #property show_inputs extern bool Trade = false; int ProfitTarget = 100; int Stoploss = 100; int Slippage = 3; int grid = 10; int buylimit; dual buylimitgrid; //-- int trades = 5; int orders; // ------------------------------------------------------------------ // ------------------------------------------------------------------ int begin() //-- orders = trades - 1; //-- if(Trade OrdersTotal() lt; orders) for(int I=trades;igt;=0;I--) while(true) buylimit = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUYLIMIT,0.01,Ask-(buylimitgrid*Stage),Slippage,Ask-((Stoploss buylimitgrid)*Stage),Ask-((buylimitgrid-ProfitTarget)*Stage),0,0,0,Red); buylimitgrid = buylimitgrid grid if(buylimitlt;=0) Print(Error = ,GetLastError()); else Print(mistake); break; Sleep(3000); return(0);

Aside from plotting trades, there are. But, unless I will plot the trades it will not work. And yes, I am using a loop, actually 2, one for setting up the grid, and one for obtaining it (see first 3 articles).

So, what's the deal with the script? Is it jut a 1 shot deal, where it sets the grid up areas trades daily? Or can you program performance to it than that? Because I am attempting to have it to change lot size, modify and delete orders but, only at particular thresholds, and things like this. Could this be programmed into a script? Because thus far, I have just worked with EA's, I don't know.
