Taking input from the user

[[Deleted]]

I want to take input from the user the first time a mql4 program starts. The input can be as simple as one number. Is this possible?

Thanks.

Use extern variables.

Sorry, but I am new to the platform. I don't understand how extern variables will help me get input from the user?

When u attach an expert a window opens with user configurable inputs... Extern variables are the ones that can be changed in that window. If u still don't understand then I recommend u start by reading MT4 user manual (just press F1), get acquainted with the Terminal and then read the Book... Cause your question is way too rudimentary.
