//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| E.mqh | //| Copyright 2024, MetaQuotes Ltd. | //| https://www.mql5.com | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ #property copyright "Co//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ // MQL5 (MetaQuotes Language 5) is a high-level programming language used for developing trading robots, scripts, and custom indicators for the MetaTrader 5 trading platform. It is specifically designed for implementing trading strategies and performing technical analysis in the financial markets. Below are some key features and basic elements of MQL5: // // ### Key Features: // 1. **Object-Oriented Programming (OOP):** MQL5 supports OOP, allowing for the creation of complex and reusable code structures. // 2. **Event Handling:** MQL5 can handle various events such as new ticks, timer events, and trading operations. // 3. **Built-in Functions:** The language provides a wide range of built-in functions for technical analysis, trading operations, and more. // 4. **Integration with MetaTrader 5:** MQL5 is tightly integrated with the MetaTrader 5 platform, enabling seamless execution of trading strategies. // // ### Basic Elements: // // #### Data Types: // - **int, double, bool, string:** Basic data types for integers, floating-point numbers, boolean values, and strings. // - **color, datetime:** Special data types for colors and date-time values. // // #### Variables: int myInteger = 10; double myDouble = 3.14; bool isTrading = true; string symbol = "EURUSD"; // // #### Functions: // Functions in MQL5 are defined using the `void`, `int`, `double`, etc., keywords, depending on the return type. // //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void MyFunction() { // Function code here } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ int Add(int a, int b) { return a + b; } // // #### Control Structures: // - **If-Else:** // ```mql5 // if (condition) { // // Code if condition is true // } else { // // Code if condition is false // } // ``` // // - **For Loop:** // ```mql5 // for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { // // Loop code here // } // ``` // // - **While Loop:** // ```mql5 // while (condition) { // // Loop code here // } // ``` // // #### Arrays: // Arrays are used to store multiple values of the same type. // double prices[10]; prices[0] = 1.2345; // In MQL5, `prices` is not a predefined array or variable, so you need to declare it before assigning any values. If you want to store price data, you typically use an array. Here's how you can declare an array and assign a value to its first element: // double prices[10]; // Declare an array of doubles with a size of 10 prices[0] = 1.2345; // Assign a value to the first element of the array // // In this example, `prices` is an array of type `double` with a size of 10, which means it can hold 10 floating-point numbers. The line `prices[0] = 1.2345;` assigns the value `1.2345` to the first element of the array. // // If you want to work with dynamic arrays, you can declare the array without specifying the size and then resize it using the `ArrayResize` function: // double prices[]; // Declare a dynamic array ArrayResize(prices, 10); // Resize the array to hold 10 elements prices[0] = 1.2345; // Assign a value to the first element of the array // // This approach is useful when you don't know the size of the array in advance and need to adjust it at runtime. // // // #### Custom Indicators: // Custom indicators are created using the `#property` directive and specific functions like `OnCalculate`. // #property indicator_separate_window #property indicator_buffers 1 #property indicator_color1 Blue double Buffer[]; //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ int OnInit() { SetIndexBuffer(0, Buffer); return INIT_SUCCEEDED; } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ int OnCalculate(const int rates_total, const int prev_calculated, const datetime &time[], const double &open[], const double &high[], const double &low[], const double &close[], const long &tick_volume[], const long &volume[], const int &spread[]) { // Calculation code here return rates_total; } // // #### Trading Operations: // MQL5 provides functions to perform trading operations such as placing orders, modifying them, and closing positions. // //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OpenBuyOrder() { double lotSize = 0.1; double stopLoss = 1.1234; double takeProfit = 1.2345; int ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(), OP_BUY, lotSize, Ask, 2, stopLoss, takeProfit, "Buy Order", 0, 0, clrGreen); if (ticket < 0) { Print("OrderSend failed with error #", GetLastError()); } } // // These are just the basics to get you started with MQL5. The language is quite extensive and offers many more features for developing sophisticated trading algorithms and tools. For more detailed information, you can refer to the official MQL5 documentation and community forums. // //| AG AUTO.mq5 | //| Copyright 2024, MetaQuotes Ltd. | //| https://www.mql5.com | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ #property copyright "Copyright 2024, MetaQuotes Ltd." #property link "https://www.mql5.com" #property version "1.00" //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Expert initialization function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ int OnInit() { //--- create timer EventSetTimer(60); //--- return(INIT_SUCCEEDED); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Expert deinitialization function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnDeinit(const int reason) { //--- destroy timer EventKillTimer(); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Expert tick function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnTick() { //--- } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Timer function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnTimer() { //--- } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| Trade function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnTrade() { //--- } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| TradeTransaction function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnTradeTransaction(const MqlTradeTransaction& trans, const MqlTradeRequest& request, const MqlTradeResult& result) { //--- } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| ChartEvent function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnChartEvent(const int id, const long &lparam, const double &dparam, const string &sparam) { //--- } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| BookEvent function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnBookEvent(const string &symbol) { //--- } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ pyright 2024, MetaQuotes Ltd." #property link "https://www.mql5.com" //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| defines | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ // #define MacrosHello "Hello, world!" // #define MacrosYear 2010 //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| DLL imports | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ // #import "user32.dll" // int SendMessageA(int hWnd,int Msg,int wParam,int lParam); // #import "my_expert.dll" // int ExpertRecalculate(int wParam,int lParam); // #import //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| EX5 imports | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ // #import "stdlib.ex5" // string ErrorDescription(int error_code); // #import //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ #import "AG_Auto_Harmonic_Scanner.ex4" #import #property //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
