Of course, we try to publish materials that explain all the subtleties of MQL5 programming in an accessible form. But we still assume that readers can not only put letters into words, but also understand the meaning of what they read.
 
Hahaha. Sorry for the off-topic. Before writing this article I did exactly that. and I used 2 articles, prototype and 20 trading signals and found my strategy, changed the code a bit, added a couple of functions and the results were excellent.

Для вашего удобства все функции из статьи собраны в один включаемый mqh-файл, который легко подключается к будущему эксперту.
 

Please give some sample code for folloe thr rules of Championship 2010.

It is not easy to code since using position, order, and deal to manage order in mql5, and some functions like ordertotal() not always work right.

for example, iinsdie Ontrade() function,   ordertotal()  always return  0 at test mode.

Where all the files go? I put them in" C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 5\MQL5\Experts " and try to compile them and compiler shows a bunch of errors...?!?

Although I've managed to write few indicators in MQL5 I dont like the way MQL is going... too complicated.

I'm on Win7 x64. I cant believe I  cant use already written code...!!!

Hello, thanks for this article. 

A little question: at the beginning of the programm, it talks about the include "ExpertAdvisor.mqh".

When I tried to code this, it told me that this include does not exist.

Has there been a name change? or am I doing something wrong?

thanks in advance for your help.
