[MQL5] If you do not use MetaEditor to code, which alternative editor do you use? - page 5

KOZsara:

Hello everyone,

I am looking for someone who does have experience in code writing/generating using MQL5 editor. Please contact me on a private message.

Thanks in advance

Sarah

You can use Freelance service for that: https://www.mql5.com/en/job

I cannot speak for others, but I personally use both MetaEditor as well as Microsoft Visual Studio Code (free and open-source) with the MQL4/5 Syntax Highlight extension.

Hi,
An old comment, I hope you don't mind if I bring it up again.

I have configured VSC (Installed Extensions, added libraries address to Workspace settings, configured some tasks to take care of the compiling) but I have 2 issues :

• IntelliSense doesn't recognize and autocomplete MQL functions (https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/function_indice)
• For class methods, IntelliSense shows some errors while showing hints for the method parameters. I attach the picture of the issue. 
  

Are these common issues? or my setup is missing something?

I really appreciate any advice/hint about this issue.

Cheers!

I am working on a side hustle but I'm targetting MQL4 and not MQL5

still I'm not comfortable to write a guide about using it but that's one of the things in my pipeline.

feel free to contribute or give me suggestion as I'm totally new to C++ syntax.
