I'm just coming on board with the idea of migrating from VB to this trading specific language. I understand you are all migrating from mql4 to mql5 so it seems we are experiencing similar uncomfortablness. For some reason (i think i deleted some critical windows files while manually agressively cleaning my hard drive) my computer won't install the client (MetaTrader5) i downloaded, so i am asking questions having never seen the interface. I plan instead to use a VSP with the client already installed, to which i will upload various files it needs to function. However, my question is, without a client on my laptop, how will i develop my code? Is the client also a development environment? Or, is there a separate development environment i can use that can help me write the files i will eventually upload to the VSP? Does the data i use for development need to be on my own hard drives? Can i store data at my VSP? Finally, when i get my VSP running live, do i sign up for a indepentant data feed or do forex brokers commonly supply a data feed for the client?
Thanks for your efforts.
