From Basic to Intermediate: Subwindows (II) for MetaTrader 5
This article examines the use of subwindows in MetaTrader 5 in detail and shows how the calculation direction in OnCalculate affects indicator buffers and the plotting of averages. Practical examples explain how indicators are linked using FIRST INDICATOR’S DATA and PREVIOUS INDICATOR’S DATA, the
From Basic to Intermediate: Subwindows (I) for MetaTrader 5
In this article, we'll start exploring how to work with subwindows in MetaTrader 5 using MQL5. This is a broad topic with several practical aspects that may prove challenging, so we'll start with a brief introduction. And yet, dear reader, it’s important that you understand what we’re going to
From Basic to Intermediate: Technical Indicators (II) for MetaTrader 5
In this article, we'll show you how to create an MQL5 indicator that plots multiple moving averages on a single chart, reducing the amount of duplicate code. This uses iMA, indicator buffers, CopyBuffer, PlotIndexSetInteger/String, and a const array of structures that brings together periods
From Basic to Intermediate: Technical Indicators (I) for MetaTrader 5
In this article, we will examine the basic principles of using the technical indicators built into MetaTrader 5 and supported by this platform. Knowing and understanding these indicators can make implementing a solution much simpler, faster, and more efficient, since you won't have to worry about
From Basic to Intermediate: Operator Overloading (VI) for MetaTrader 5
Here, we implement deletion using operator overloading. Without a doubt, many people will have to spend quite a bit of time studying this article to fully grasp everything that will be covered here. I want to remind you that what we're about to see is just a small and insignificant part of what we
From Basic to Intermediate: Operator Overloading (V) for MetaTrader 5
In this article, we will look at how to modify the code to implement a solution entirely unlike what many consider possible in MQL5. Important note: To fully understand this material, you must have a solid grasp of the concepts covered in the previous articles
From Basic to Intermediate: Operator Overloading (IV) for MetaTrader 5
In this article, we will take a first step toward showing how to implement operator overloading for the index operator and the assignment operator, while striving to offer a practical and interesting approach for everyone. What we will see here is only part of what I still intend to show, and it is
From Basic to Intermediate: Operator Overloading (III) for MetaTrader 5
In this article, we will examine how to implement overloading for both logical operators and comparison operators. This requires a certain amount of caution and a fair amount of attention. Even a minor oversight when implementing the overloading of these operators can render the entire code
From Basic to Intermediate: Operator Overloading (II) for MetaTrader 5
At first, this article may seem rather confusing because of the material I'm going to cover in it. Nevertheless, I've tried to explain everything as simply and clearly as possible. I hope you'll understand what I'm about to show you here, and that it will come in handy someday
From Basic to Intermediate: Queues, Lists, and Trees (VIII) for MetaTrader 5
In this article, we will examine how to implement a tree balancing algorithm. Here, I will present my own version of an implementation of this algorithm. There are many other algorithms that serve the same purpose. Nevertheless, each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. You, my dear
