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

 

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

In this article, we will look at how to handle user requests to change the chart plotting mode. This is necessary so that an indicator designed for the current chart plotting mode does not look strange or differ from what a MetaTrader 5 user expects.

In the previous article “From Beginner to Intermediate Level: Inheritance” we discussed how to use inheritance in structural programming. To avoid overloading you with information, in this article we will look at something simpler, at least something that can be studied and practiced in parallel with what was shown in the previous articles.

I understand that at first this topic may be somewhat difficult to grasp, and considering that before this there were six consecutive articles with quite extensive material, I suggest relaxing and looking at something simpler and more practical.

In the articles about indicators, the latest article in the series being From Beginner to Intermediate Level: Indicator (IV), we looked at how something can be displayed directly on the chart using an entirely static and very simple implementation. In addition, this is certainly a very direct way of creating an indicator. However, although the format presented in those articles turned out to be ideal for virtually any indicator that can be created, we are essentially not limited to it alone. We also have the option of creating dynamic indicators, if we can classify them as such.

But in order for you to understand why I consider the previous format static and how it differs from a dynamically created format, I need to explain a few points. To do this properly, let us move on to a new topic.
