I appreciate your work sir if you can please do a complete course for mt4 To be honest you are the most resourceful programmer for mql4 I ever saw in youtube Best regards
sir, really, you are not just an excellent guro, but also a very good provider of knowledge given to you from above. thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video presentation. i like it so much. and I learnd a lot. Be blessed.
Thank you so much. its really useful for me. I manage to build my own EA with the help of your programming tutorial. I really appreciate and want to say you that, you are great. and don't stop teaching use. I m expecting more advance level of EA programing. so that I will be thankful for you.
This EA example works out good and it’s really profitable but my only problem is how I can limit the maximum order number. 🙏 I would really appreciate your feedback
I have been following your work for a while now. And I must say I enjoyed this particular tutorial more than orders, you did an absolutely beautiful teaching and I have learnt a lot more. Please will you consider doing a video on Arrays in determining swing lows and swing highs? This is one area of MQL programming I have been finding it difficult to understand. Thanks
Hello Mr. Arthur, I just wanted to say you are a great teacher and it is so useful to study your tutorial movies. Thank You very much for all your work and effort. As we are all ONE --> Giving is Receiving so you will surely benefit somehow from your hard work. Once again THANK YOU :-)
Thank you for this great tutorial, Arthur. 👍🙏 Would love you to do a similar beginners guide to MT5, highlighting the things to watch out for in MT5. I have watched one of your videos where you demonstrate how to write an EA in both MT4 and MT5, and the differences are not that great... but would be interested in hearing your thoughts on the differences between MT4 and MT5.
You are a great teacher and thanks for this RSI indicator. I would like to say that i am using RSI in line with the trendline indicator for noting when price closes below or above the Trendline. Because i prefer to enter a trade only when i have a Lower Low Lower close or Higher High Higher close candle at extreme RSI- Overbought/Oversold. Is it possible to add this part to this RSI in MT5. Meaning the same RSI codes + Candle close at lower low lower close or higher high higher close. A trendline can assist at the moment, but some time there is not trendline to be drawn only a candle that close higher or lower than previous 4-7 candles to your left
It was very useful. Gave thumb up. My feeling though is that there was some unnecessary code. The retcode thing. A lot about tickets. Return -1 and so on. Then again. I am too inexperienced. I guess I could try remove some of that code and see what will be different. Anyway. Always fun to code "together" with you.

Hi Arthur, thank you for this awesome video! Would you kindly advice on building a EA based on RSI that would close a previously opened position (manual opened) IF RSI CROSSES level 70 and the vice versa, the EA would close an opened position IF RSI CROSSES level 30? I would opened manually and let the EA close the position (partially automated strategy), if it was opened a long position, the EA would close if RSI crosses lets say 70 line; if it was a short position the EA would close IF RSI crosses 30 line.. I'd open a position and set a stop loss (manually) and have two possible outcomes: close by the EA or by the stop loss which ever comes first. Thanks indeed and wish you a prosperous 2022!
hello teacher, thank you very much for the video. you are doing excellent work. If you'll excuse me, I had a question. I did everything. While testing, only the sales transaction is opened and the stop loss and take profit functions do not work. thank you. sorry for bad english
Check the OrderOpen function. That is where stop loss and take profit prices are calculated. You should have lines like stopLossPrice = (stopLoss==0.0) ? 0.0 : NormalizeDouble(... and the tne formula for the price, depending on buy or sell. Also make sure you have inputs with stop loss and take profit
Another great tutorial with the use of static variables. I've followed through almost all of your tutorials, particularly Framework. I've customized it to my needs and utilizing it for developing strategies for my own use. I'm finding it difficult to add Utilities code in a modular way. Not sure, if I would add it to Expert base OR Common Base, as it could be used anywhere in all kind of extensions like Signals OR Dashboard OR even in indicators. A guidance from you would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
It really depends on the utility. There is no problem with just having a function library. Not everything must be OO. If it is a utility for example lot sizing then maybe create a lot sizing class, create a sub class of expert base, and add the lot sizing class as a plugin to the expert child class. Just think about where the utility will be used.
@@OrchardForex I've a function library which stores functions like Profit (By Symbol/Magic/Buys/Sells....), OrderCount and alikes. Can you please tell me if I include this library in any class (multiple classes means it will be includeded multiple times whereever needed), In that case will it add to size OR only one copy of a function will be created after compilation (which will be good as it won't increase file size). Thanks.
@@videotalks Dpeends what you mean by include. If your library just has functions, no class name, like double MyFunc() ... then these are included only once. If you are duplicating these for each class like double MyClass::MyFunc()... then there is a copy for each class. For common utility functions you probably don't need to make them part of a class, so the first answer.

Real time. Thanks for your insight. I actually solved the problem by referencing global variables as signals for an EA sitting on the online chart to execute the trades.

I've been through this video a few times and when I set this code up in MT4 (v5.00build2376) - in the intial part where I'm putting input doubles, I'm getting errors when I go to compile (for example 'input' -unexpected token , then 'InpOverboughtLevel'- unexpected token, then '=' - unexpected token - then '80.0'-some operator expected....and so on.

As a guess try looking at the lines before the input line and see if one isn't terminated correctly. Manye an include without the opening or trailing < or " or a comment line that isn't right. There should be an error telling you about it but the error may not be the first error reported
@@OrchardForex Hi ..Thank you Arthur - I'll look later today. I like the RSI 80/20 on the FTSE100 (15 min) but don't take the signal until it's broken the proceeding candle low Tgt 3:1 (Stops at the most recent high of the last couple of candle highs). That's the main structural idea - It's ideal for me to get me into the trade - and I'm flexible on the exit depending general mood and candle action (i.e sometimes may be 2:1 or 1:1 or b/e) . If the stop gets taken out and the market moves higher - there's generally an indicator divergence so worth eyeing up, then you get those days when it's just hell bent iin heading in one direction !

Hello Sir I have something I'm experiencing challenges with, I have an indicator in MT5 that I would like to use as the main trigger in my EA, but this MT5 indicator only displays the price of the current pair on the data window. In this way I am not able to get a trigger that can be used to make the EA function. I have the source code for this indicator, I would just like to know what I could change/add to have 2 extra outputs in the data window. 1 buffer in the data window should != EMPTY_VALUE when the indicator has turned a certain color, while the other buffer is = EMPTY_VALUE, and vice versa.. Any help would be appreciated sir
When you refer to data window I think you mean the chart. There is a separate data window (ctrl+D). This might help ruclips.net/video/7Tr9zkclSuk/видео.html
@@OrchardForex lol no I know about the ctrl+D data window.. thats where Im looking and only see 1 value that is simply the value of the indicator buffer but it doesnt reflect any change when the indicator im working with changes color.. so I was just looking for a way to simply add 2 more buffers to that data window that might help me depict a change when it occurs on the indicator
@@jumpmanjxhnsxn7608 If you have the code then just add 2 more buffers and set the values to whatever you want. There should be enough information in the video I quoted. It sounds like the indicator you are using is doing as I show in this video where one buffer is just used for a current value, but is not showing a high or low separately.

@@OrchardForex Hi ..Thank you Arthur - I'll look later today. I like the RSI 80/20 on the FTSE100 (15 min) but don't take the signal until it's broken the proceeding candle low Tgt 3:1 (Stops at the most recent high of the last couple of candle highs). That's the main structural idea - It's ideal for me to get me into the trade - and I'm flexible on the exit depending general mood and candle action (i.e sometimes may be 2:1 or 1:1 or b/e) . If the stop gets taken out and the market moves higher - there's generally an indicator divergence so worth eyeing up, then you get those days when it's just hell bent iin heading in one direction !
This is what I was hoping to code in an EA if I ever achieve it !
can i use this in real account?
this will work in a live account, but this is an example and you must be aware of the risk of running this in a live account.
How I can contact you?
You can try the email on out contact page www.orchardforex.com/contact
Any US based developers out there? Do I need a license or any special tax preparation when selling EA, Indicators etc on MQL5?
The reason I watched it untill the end is because of explaining each line as you go...I'm not like that😂😂copy that
Thank you. That's good to hear.
Hello Sir I have something I'm experiencing challenges with, I have an indicator in MT5 that I would like to use as the main trigger in my EA, but this MT5 indicator only displays the price of the current pair on the data window. In this way I am not able to get a trigger that can be used to make the EA function. I have the source code for this indicator, I would just like to know what I could change/add to have 2 extra outputs in the data window. 1 buffer in the data window should != EMPTY_VALUE when the indicator has turned a certain color, while the other buffer is = EMPTY_VALUE, and vice versa.. Any help would be appreciated sir
When you refer to data window I think you mean the chart. There is a separate data window (ctrl+D). This might help ruclips.net/video/7Tr9zkclSuk/видео.html
@@OrchardForex lol no I know about the ctrl+D data window.. thats where Im looking and only see 1 value that is simply the value of the indicator buffer but it doesnt reflect any change when the indicator im working with changes color.. so I was just looking for a way to simply add 2 more buffers to that data window that might help me depict a change when it occurs on the indicator
so I can use that as the main trigger for my EA, I dont know if you could help me with it, could I send you the mql5 file for the indicator?
@@jumpmanjxhnsxn7608 If you have the code then just add 2 more buffers and set the values to whatever you want. There should be enough information in the video I quoted. It sounds like the indicator you are using is doing as I show in this video where one buffer is just used for a current value, but is not showing a high or low separately.
@@OrchardForex Okay Thank You, The video does have the answers I'm looking for !
