Step-By-Step Guide to writing an Expert Advisor in MQL5 for Beginners

Samuel Olowoyo, 2010.06.09 11:37

The Expert Advisors programming in MQL5 is simple, and you can learn it easy. In this step by step guide, you will see the basic steps required in writing a simple Expert Advisor based on a developed trading strategy. The structure of an Expert Advisor, the use of built-in technical indicators and trading functions, the details of the Debug mode and use of the Strategy Tester are presented.
 
  1. Search for cookbook like: https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/650
  2. https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/10
  3. https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/496
    https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/211
    https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/296230

    https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/9266
    https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/9327
    https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/567

and a lot more.

Here is a list of all functions with their description, you can search with Ctrl+f for keywords: https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/function_indices

If you need some information of a function in the editor put the cursor on that function and press F1 - many do have examples ready to be copied.

Bear in mind, there is almost nothing that hasn't already been programmed and already exists in the CodeBase, among the articles, in the Market or as a signal (why keep reinventing the wheel)!

MQL5 Cookbook: Developing a Multi-Currency Expert Advisor with Unlimited Number of Parameters
  • www.mql5.com
In this article, we will create a pattern that uses a single set of parameters for optimization of a trading system, while allowing for unlimited number of parameters. The list of symbols will be created in a standard text file (*.txt). Input parameters for each symbol will also be stored in files. This way we will be able to circumvent the restriction of the terminal on the number of input parameters of an Expert Advisor.
