1st learning course -(Lesson number #1)

[scarface]

Dear All,

 

Good day

 

This is our first lesson where we lesson some programming skills. As I mentioned before I'm not professional in programming and coding yet, but I do my best to be in the near future.

 

O.k, here is a small book about programming and coding I have taken from Forex TSD and written by Coders Guru.

.........................................

 

we will try to simplify some main variables and functions as much as possible.

 

If you have any question, please don't hesitate to ask.

 

Best wishes,

Hi guys,

 

Thanks for everyone participating in this thread.

 

O.K, now I will begin with very basic steps how to find tools to EA or indicator creation.

 

Every MT4 platform has some properties including MetaEditor as you can see below in the picture #1:

If you click on it, a new window is going to pop up as you can see in this picture down #2. You can see the icon NEW that can be used to create or make Indicator or Expert Advisor (EA)

Now, as you notice that in the above picture you have many choices to make in addition to creating EA or indicator. However, in this course we will try to focus only on creating indicators and EAs, and whenever we have time we will go for the rest.

 

what important to know at first in creating as indicator or EA is the following as you can see in the picture#3:

1- Name of indicator or EA.

2- Autor ( to protect the copyright)

3- Link ( for copyright)

4- Parameters (global variables that you are going to add i.e. StopLoss, Take Profit, Risk, Lot....etc) however, it is not really necessary to do that now because you can do that later when you start writing your code.

 

Then if you are done with writing the initial contents of the EA or indicator, you will have a code similar to this one:

In my case, I named the EA as Ram.

If you decided to create indicator, you will see this window popping up after writing the contents:

From the above picture, you can see there are two types of indicators 1- on the chart 2- out of that chart "in separate window".

 

I hope this introduction is easy to understand.

 

If you have any question please ask.

 

I'm going to add another topic soon for the 2nd lesson.

 

Best wishes,
