New comment
 
Help! I'm new to MT4 and have been looking on the net for any information to help me get started writing EAs and indicators, etc, and I can't find much in these more advanced areas. Can I ask everybody out there ... how did you get started in MT4? Did you come from a computer programming background?

To learn how to program join the main MT4 forum forum.mql4.com ... get examples at http://codebase.mql4.com/

or you can use a graphic environment to create expert advisors, like Molanis Strategy Builder at http://www.molanis.com - No coding or MQL4 knowledge is needed.

 
To have the complete knowledge for the metatrader fx,you must visit at http://fxdialogue.com.
I am suggesting you this link because same queries for MetaTrader Fx also occurred in my mind when i was new to this field.
Best part of this link is that it will give you a complete package from learning to trading the stocks with the most advanced features that keeps you free from complexities of MT4 programming.
From this site you can download the Trading manual that will provide you the descriptive knowledge of all the Foreign trading exchanges.
Included this,file involves the examples that are described with the help of charts for making it easier at user end.
after getting knowledge about the MetaTrader Fx you can start making your strategies for the stocks with help of Forex Excel that means predict your stocks with help of Excel features.
