Error compiling a sample EA

[Baljit Oberoi]

I tried compiling an EA which is posted below

https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/100

The code is giving compilation error at the following (as wrong parameters count)

adxHandle=iADX(NULL,0,ADX_Period);

I do not see any issue with the statement. How do I fix the error? Error list is attached.

double  iADX(    string       symbol,        // symbol    int          timeframe,     // timeframe    int          period,        // averaging period    int          applied_price, // applied price    int          mode,          // line index    int          shift          // shift    );

The last 3 parameters are missing

Code from that page is for Metatrader 5.

You saved that code into a mq4 file so compiler uses MQL4 syntax. 

MQL5 and MQL4 are not 100% source code compatible.

It is like ex4 rename to mq4 and you will get source code:)))))))))))

Not quite! Let us not confuse the OP with such comments which he will misinterpret!

The OP has just begun learning and it is difficult enough for him to distinguish between MQL4 and MQL5. No need to mislead and confuse him even more!
