Thread: MT4 coding language question

Ive been trading with MT4 brokers for some time now and like most, I really like it. Find out how to code n and I wanted to go a step ahead the language. I was wondering if anyone can tell me where to find out the programming used to produce EAs etc.. Do indiors simply open and see how it is coded, or is there something like a C library in which people can view and rather learn? Or better any books on it? Any help will be appreciated...

Thanks

Yes, this is a good course. I'm a c programmer also and this was really useful in converting the concepts. The two languages are very similar

Right here at FF! I believe this is what you are looking for.

I learn best from studying the various functions. This has technical details on each purpose, everything, indior.

Hey guys thanks for those links, I browsed through they all and them look very helpful, and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for the help, maybe once I learn the coding I can give back to the community

be carefull it becomes an obsession. I began 6 weeks ago and today I wake up in the middle of the night with a concept for an ea. Then code it quite quick. Sleep depervation...

I will try that this doesnt happen to me

wow. . .that's humorous! I believed I was hooked but today I learned that I am not 100% hooked yet

Well. . .and yeah, it is really much like C, just a much more easy metalanguage version of C. Therefore, if you know other programming languages you will find it easy to learn MQL.
I heard a lot by just attempting to understand other people's code.

I'm like you, Kurka.... Here I'm at 4am in the morning... another idea, another EA.

And yes, Codersguru is a fantastic source of code...
