Improved Input Settings in MQL4 – Part 2

mql4 has easier inputs

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.

If you're familiar with the original style of MQL4 coding you've probably used 'extern' variables to facilitate input from users. Since build 600 of MetaTrader 4 there's a new kid on the block.

Input variables or settings can now be declared as either 'extern' or 'input' and the difference between the two is pretty straight forward. (more…)

How to Install MQL4 Experts Advisors, Indicators and Scripts

Build 600 of MetaTrader 4 was a huge leap forward and has offered a great deal of improvements and benefits to the MQL4 coder, but it comes at a price.

Many users are confused initially and have a hard time navigating around the new interface and finding exactly where to install their expert advisors, indicators and scripts.

The folder structure of previous versions of MT4 was much more intuitive and followed the familiar pattern of C:\Program Files\MT4 etc. With Build 600 that  was all changed and the folder structure is slightly more complicated but if you know how to navigate it, it's  almost just as simple.

Price Action Trading Really Works

price action trading for profit and gain

While there are many strategies a Forex trader can employ to try and extract a profit from the markets, Swing Trading is one of the more interesting approaches.

Momentum tends to be the backbone of methods such as Scalping or day-trading.

For those traders that prefer to take a more laid back approach and work off the higher time frames, then knowing what's happening with the major economies of the World is a crucial skill.

Swing Trading on the other hand is interesting because it's a particular type of trading that can be done no matter what the markets are doing. It is not dependent on long-term trends or explosive moves and as such can be traded relatively stress-free. (more…)

I came to Steve with the aim of learning how to write expert advisors. With his great teaching style and structured course I have been able to learn an enormous amount and have been able to write a number of expert advisors myself. As I develop various systems and sometimes come across issues Steve is always a great source of help. I look forward to developing more expert advisors and using Steve as a mentor as and when required.

Working with Steve has really cleared the fog for me as it relates to writing my own EA’s. I had no prior code writing experience. Prior to working with Steve, I had bought every book available on MQL, read lots of blogs and downloaded pdf lessons. But, none of these resources could answer any of my questions. Working with Steve has given me a much broader understanding of how to write code. He not only teaches you how to write an EA, but explains the best coding practices so you are writing cod… Read more

After extensively researching around for a coach to fast-track my ability to code Expert Advisors, I came across Steve Fleming. Right from the beginning I found Steve to be very helpful and motivating, within five weeks of coaching I am coding my first EA. Programming is just like any other skill in life, it takes time to learn and I know without a coach like Steve, it would have taken me months to learn MQL. Most importantly what I found in Steve is someone who wants to see you succeed as a … Read more
