Check out the new article: How to publish code to CodeBase: A practical guide.

In this article, we will use real-life examples to illustrate posting various types of terminal programs in the MQL5 source code base.

To publish your code in CodeBase, you only need to follow a few simple steps and adhere to these simple rules:

• before publishing, tidy up the codes by creating neat formatting (Ctrl + , in the editor);
• comment on key decisions in the program logic;
• prepare images up to 750x500 pixels in size that explain how your program works;
• come up with a good, concise description of the program and its settings and parameters.

This way, your code will be understandable both for others and for yourself if you return to it in, say, six months. It is much easier to support and improve such projects.

If you are publishing an EA, it is worth checking it in advance using the checklist in the article "The checks a trading robot must pass before publication in the Market". This will eliminate typical errors and make the code more professional.
