Discussing the article: "From Basic to Intermediate: Indicator (I)"

 

Check out the new article: From Basic to Intermediate: Indicator (I).

In this article, we will create our first fully practical and functional indicator. The goal is not to show how to create an application, but to help you understand how you can develop your own ideas and give you the opportunity to apply them in a safe, simple, and practical way.

In the previous article "From Beginner to Intermediate: Events (II)", we covered how to save information on a more or less permanent basis between different sessions of the MetaTrader 5 platform. I know some might think such material is unnecessary. However, if you ever need to preserve information between sessions, you'll remember this advice and think: "My friend, thank you for that tip. Thank you very much".

But we are only just beginning our exploration. Since we already have the basic concepts that allow us to create small programs, and we've already seen how event-driven programming works, it's time to understand some basic concepts that many people try to implement themselves, even though they are already designed and, by default, don't need to be implemented but simply used as needed.

In this case, I'm referring to the tabs that are present by default in almost all MetaTrader 5 applications, although we can have more or fewer of them. However, if you are a programmer, you will understand how to use these tabs. As a result, you will become a much more attentive and demanding user of third-party interfaces.
