Discussion of article "Developing a trading Expert Advisor from scratch (Part 7): Adding Volume at Price (I)"

 

New article Developing a trading Expert Advisor from scratch (Part 7): Adding Volume at Price (I) has been published:

This is one of the most powerful indicators currently existing. Anyone who trades trying to have a certain degree of confidence must have this indicator on their chart. Most often the indicator is used by those who prefer “tape reading” while trading. Also, this indicator can be utilized by those who use only Price Action while trading.

If the grid is not visible, then it will not be possible to resize the indicator as shown in the following animations. Please note that the interface is very simple and intuitive: it has only two controls, one of which indicates the size, and the other one shows the starting point for volume analysis.

    

In general, this indicator is quite effective and very interesting in implementation and construction. In this article, we will work with its most basic level, and then we will improve it in the next article.

I have nothing more to say about the interface, so let's move on to implementing the code.

Well, I saw in the article how the author determines volumes. But there is a lot of nonsense, like how to track if a user deleted a point)))). If I have time, I will dig into the code, but reading articles by this Portuguese guy is a waste of time.

Go to the user's profile and look at their publication list ... https://www.mql5.com/en/users/dj_tlog_831/publications

Once you visit the link, click on "more ..." to see the complete list.

There are actually much more than 6 parts and it was originally written in Portuguese, and then translated by MetaQuotes to English.

 
Thank you very much.
 

Hi Daniel

I started this series recently, but I can't find parts 2 to 6.

Can you provide links to these please?

Cheers,

Actually, parts 1 to 6 are under a different name, but can be found at these links:

Multiple indicators on a chart (Part 01): Understanding the concepts

Multiple indicators on a graph (Part 02): First experiments

Multiple indicators on a graph (Part 03): Developing definitions for users

Multiple indicators on a chart (Part 04): Starting with EA

Multiple indicators on one chart (Part 05): Turning MetaTrader 5 into a RAD system (I)

Multiple indicators on one chart (Part 06): Turning MetaTrader 5 into a RAD system (II)

However, if you're interested in learning how to implement an Expert Advisor, I suggest you take a look at this other sequence:

Learning how to build an Expert Advisor that operates automatically (Part 15): Automation (VII)

Although this is the last article in the series, it contains internal links to the previous ones. In any case, it would be a good idea to read all my articles. There's a lot of material to study. And it may be that in one of them you'll find the answer to a problem or question you're having.

If you're new to MQL5, I suggest you also follow my other profile, where I'm posting articles on MQL5 from basic to intermediate. The latest article can be seen at:

From basic to intermediate: Array and Strings (II)

And I'm waiting for the others to be revised and posted. But there's also a lot of material there that can help you with MQL5 programming. 😁👍

 

Can you direct me to the first 6 articles in this series
