which resources can one use to understand the basics of programming and then start learning MQL5
I desided to learn MQL5 6 month ago, I never learned programming before and now I am writing some expert advisors codes, in my opinion not so simple.
How far should i go learning c++ to make it easy for myself to learn mql5 coding of indicators and dashboards?.
There are multiple videos on YouTube about c++ basics. Just pick one and watch it thoroughly.
