Improved Input Settings in MQL4 – Part 2
In my last article about improved input settings in mql4 I told you about enumerations and how they allow you to utilize drop down menus in your EA's settings. That was certainly a great improvement to the way settings are handled in MQL4 but there's another feature that you should be using.
