From Basic to Intermediate: Struct (VI) for MetaTrader 5
In this article, we will explore how to approach the implementation of a common structural code base. The goal is to reduce the programming workload and leverage the full potential of the programming language itself—in this case, MQL5
From Basic to Intermediate: Struct (V) for MetaTrader 5
In this article, we will explore how to overload structural code. I know it can be quite challenging to understand at first, especially if you're seeing it for the first time. It is very important that you grasp these concepts and understand them well before attempting to delve into more complex and
From Basic to Intermediate: Struct (IV) for MetaTrader 5
In this article, we will explore how to create so-called structural code, where the entire context and methods for manipulating variables and information are placed within a structure to create a suitable context for implementing any code. Therefore, we will examine the necessity of using a private
From Basic to Intermediate: Struct (III) for MetaTrader 5
In this article, we will explore what structured code is. Many people confuse structured code with organized code, but there is a difference between these two concepts. This is exactly what will be discussed in this article. Despite the apparent complexity you may feel when first encountering this
From Basic to Intermediate: Indicator (IV) for MetaTrader 5
In this article, we will explore how to easily create and implement an operational approach for coloring candles. This concept is highly valued by traders. When implementing such things, care must be taken to ensure that the bars or candles retain their original appearance and do not hinder reading
From Basic to Intermediate: Indicator (III) for MetaTrader 5
In this article, we will explore how to declare various graphical representation indicators, such as DRAW_COLOR_LINE and DRAW_FILLING. Additionally, of course, we will learn how to plot graphs using multiple indicators in a simple, practical, and fast way. This can truly change your perspective on
From Basic to Intermediate: Indicator (II) for MetaTrader 5
In this article, we will examine how to implement a moving average calculation and what precautions should be taken when performing this calculation. We will also discuss overloading the OnCalculate function to know when and how to work with one model or another
From Basic to Intermediate: Indicator (I) for MetaTrader 5
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
From Basic to Intermediate: Events (II) for MetaTrader 5
In this article, we will see that not everything always needs to be implemented in a certain specific way. There are alternative approaches to problem-solving. To properly understand this article, it is necessary to grasp the concepts described in the previous articles. The materials presented here
From Basic to Intermediate: Events (I) for MetaTrader 5
Given everything that has been shown so far, I think we can now start implementing some kind of application to run some symbol directly on the chart. However, first we need to talk about a concept that can be rather confusing for beginners. Namely, it's the fact that applications developed in MQL5
