Check out the new article: Custom Indicators (Part 1): A Step-by-Step Introductory Guide to Developing Simple Custom Indicators in MQL5.

Learn how to create custom indicators using MQL5. This introductory article will guide you through the fundamentals of building simple custom indicators and demonstrate a hands-on approach to coding different custom indicators for any MQL5 programmer new to this interesting topic.

Visual representation of market information is the cornerstone of trading. Without this visual modeling of market data and prices, trading would not be as viable or effective. From the early days of charting to the sophisticated technical analysis tools available today, traders have relied on visual cues to make informed decisions in the financial markets.

MQL5 indicators serve as powerful tools for enhancing this visual analysis process. By leveraging mathematical calculations and algorithms, MQL5 indicators help traders identify profit-making opportunities by statistically reading market behavior. These indicators can be applied directly to price charts, providing traders with valuable insights into market dynamics.

In this article series, we'll explore how MQL5 indicators are created, customized, and utilized to enhance trading strategies in MetaTrader 5. From basic indicator logic to advanced customization options, we'll cover the basics and gradually move deeper into the more advanced concepts of indicator development as we progress with the article series. The main aim of this article series is to empower you to create your own MQL5 custom indicators tailored to your trading preferences and goals.

Thank you very much - just in my theme - once again to actualise everything in one place - to digest and reread......
Just here indicators from MT4 to MT5 I translate in an optimal way it is necessary ...
And the data from the previous similar articles - here - are outdated in some places perhaps due to the development of the language.

Thank you Roman for your kind feedback! I'm glad the article has been helpful to you. I agree, the MQL5 programming language is constantly evolving, and while older articles may not reflect the latest updates, newer ones like mine are helping to solve that challenge. Wishing you success with your indicator conversions from MT4 to MT5!
