This is agreat course. I went through the lessons until the first custom indicator. I have some understanding, but not thorogh. I hope in due course I will get the hang of it. THANK YOU CODEGURU for putting together this course.

I tried to convert one of my simple indicator from mql2, but there is something wrong. Can you check it?
