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

In this article, we will look at three of the six events that MetaTrader 5 can generate when some change occurs to an object on the chart. These events are very useful from the standpoint of user interaction. This is because, without understanding these events, we would have to put in much more effort to maintain a specific chart configuration when trying to manage objects for particular purposes.

In the previous article From Basic to Intermediate: Objects (IV) we showed how an object available in MetaTrader 5 can be modified to create another object. This was done for a purpose that may be quite interesting and is, in itself, rather intriguing. In today’s article, a challenge was also posed to you, dear reader. It is a task whose solution I will not show. The reason is that I want to encourage you to practice and study the article material so that you learn to solve the problems that will certainly arise on your own as you learn and implement new ideas.

Although this task is very simple to solve, and the issue itself does not prevent the code from being used for study purposes, I think you will be much prouder of yourself and feel more confident in what you are learning if you can solve it on your own, exploring and analyzing each situation until you find the best possible solution. Therefore, in this article we will look at another topic that is, in a certain sense, related to working with graphical objects, although it differs somewhat from what has been shown so far.

You may already suspect that we are giving this topic considerable attention, perhaps even more than many people would consider truly necessary. Before we can go deeper into what MQL5 can do, we need to understand several things. All of this serves a broader goal: creating more complex applications designed for specific purposes, applications unlike anything we will find in any other program, at least when we are talking about MetaTrader 5.
