Discussion of article "Step-by-Step Guide to Writing an Expert Advisor in MQL5 for Beginners" - page 9

 
angreeee:
In mql4 i programmed my few ea in few days without any learning, it was that easy. I know dozens of different programming languages (java, c, php, other minor or outdated languages).  mql5 language is not so intuitive as mql4.  It's a shame there is no converter between languages. I have to take a deep breath and start learning.. 
If you really know java, c and php, mql5 is very intuitive. Any language have to be learned.
 
Very good article!

Could you give the final layout to see how the progressive steps have come together, thanks. 
 
With all the changes to the MQL5 programming an updated version of this step by step code is needed, if i copy this code it no longer compiles - is there a version with the latest changes  - many thanks.
 

when compiling it gives an error

return value of'OrderSend' should be checked my_first_ea.mq5 211 10

what could be wrong?
