Originally called MSFX - MT4 - Ticksender (MSFX = Mistigri FX ), the tick sender app was created for MQL4 developers who need to be able to test their code when the FX markets are closed. This program simulates an incoming tick on all your mt4 charts, so simply it forces your EAs, indicators to refresh (ie: run the start function in your code).
The program is fairly simple and straight forward to use, it will find all the instances of MT4 running on your platform ( the process/exe name must be terminal .exe, if you have renamed the mt4 executable, the Tick Sender will not be able to see it ).
Check mark the instances you would like to refresh, then set an interval and you are set. The interval by default is 2000 as in 2000 ms or 2 seconds.
A side application of the tick sender is to improve the reliability of a multi currency EA. However this is only useful if you do not own the code of such EA as it is a better option to simply code the "TickSend" function in your own EA to force the refresh.

Some of the new features are that you can now minimize the program into the system tray and right click on it to pause/start it. There are a few features I wish I had the time to do but maybe for another time. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
