Was it easy for you to move to MQL5?

In my job, I've been programming in Visual C++ for over 10 years and know object-oriented programming very well. Therefore it was easy for me.

I would single out the following features of the new trading platform:

1) Finally in MetaTrader 5 we have separate notions of orders and positions. Though, at first it was a little confusing.

2) Object-oriented programming. The code becomes clear with it.

3) Modeling. I like the new features that appeared in the new platform.

In different times, different trading strategies like neural networks and martingales were popular. What do you think about such Expert Advisors?

True, there were times when Expert Advisors based on neural networks were very popular. But not all developers know how this network is described. I believe Expert Advisors must be simple and clear. There are a lot of Grails, and most of them lie on the surface. I don't like delving deep into the ground.

As for multicurrency Expert Advisors, I think they are good if trading is well adjusted for each currency pair.
