Discussion of article "MQL5 Wizard: Creating Expert Advisors without Programming"

 

New article MQL5 Wizard: Creating Expert Advisors without Programming is published:

Do you want to try out a trading strategy while wasting no time for programming? In MQL5 Wizard you can simply select the type of trading signals, add modules of trailing positions and money management - and your work is done! Create your own implementations of modules or order them via the Jobs service - and combine your new modules with existing ones.

The people are silent, probably preparing for the holiday.

The article is good, it's simple and clear. Although I shut up at step 4 "Selecting the module of capital and risk management". I chose "Trading with optimised trade volume (optimised trade volume based on the results of previous trades)".

Ok. Reading:

DecreaseFactor
Sets the value of the parameter

Powerful. :) Moving on.

DecreaseFactor
Sets the "Decrease Factor" parameter.
void DecreaseFactor(
double decrease_factor // decrease factor
)
Parameters
decrease_factor
[in] Value of the "Decrease Factor" parameter.

No clarity has been added. I'm going further. I open MoneySizeOptimised.mqh

Comment at the beginning Parameter=DecreaseFactor,double,3.0

Yeah. I will have to understand in the code or experimentally, what is done there :)

Is it possible to explain the functioning somewhere, not so deeply?

I'm probably being very picky because of such nonsense.

 
We plan to write articles that explain in more depth the logic behind the standard modules. We are currently preparing an article that explains how to write your own trading signal modules.
 

I tried to create an Expert Advisor using the MQL5 Wizard.


It gives an error.

Apparently Alpari? Let's put checks against crooked server settings. Thank you.

No, MQ.
 
Jager:
No, MQ.

It did not reproduce.

If it is not difficult, please attach here the code of your Expert Advisor and the list of parameters (with run values)

I don't understand anything...

Everything is working fine for me (if I understood GBPUSD, H1 correctly)

Have you updated the terminal long ago? What build?

That's what I mean...

GBPUSD, H1, right.

On another computer, same thing.

My bad. Found the error. Results of the code improvements. It's fixed. Coming soon.
