Welcome back! In this tutorial we will take one of the strategies we discussed last time and turn into into an MQL4 program.
Also, another important aspect of today’s lesson is – incorporating trader input. We will work with extern variables, which will allow us to create parameters for the trader. In that way the trader can control the script directly from the MetaTrader 4 Forex Platform.
Extern variables will come in very handy when we start coding our expert advisor. So pay attention today! 🙂

The Switch Operator is a handy tool for implementing lengthy conditional statements. However, from the previous three tutorials we already know a very simple tool for doing the same thing – multiple “if”, “else if”, and “else” statements. Now this alternative may not be as elegant as using the Switch operator, but it is simpler. Having that in mind, consider this tutorial optional. Do watch it if you would like to learn some extra information, otherwise feel free to skip straight to the next one! After all, you can always revisit any of the videos at a later stage.

Today we will finish up with conditional (branching) statements by looking at the else ifstatement. It all really comes together in this tutorial. Detailed visualisations of a EURUSD chart are used to illustrate how the implemented logic would be used in an Algorithmic Trading. You will notice from this video that we are actually looking at a the backbone of a real working trading strategy! Psssstt: by the end of this course you will be able to build the whole strategy start to finish! Isn’t that exciting?!

The Else statement complements the if statement, and together the two work hand-in-hand. Just like in the previous tutorial, in this video we will study the new bit of information through a real-life example. You will learn how easy it is to simulate trading decisions in a price channel using the if and else statements. Let’s do it!

Finally! Today we are going to apply our knowledge to the Forex market and work with some real-time EURUSD prices. Very exciting stuff!
We will learn about the if statement and see how we can use it to add decision-making processes to our future FX Robots. Note that the next couple of tutorials will be building on top of this one, so make sure you follow the code in the video carefully! Luckily, in this course we learn by doing, so if you do happen to make an error somewhere – you will be able to pick it up right away.

The “for” loop is very similar to the “while” loop, however the “for” loop is much more commonly used. This trend is evident in other programming languages as well as in MQL4. Most likely, the “for” loop is preferred because it is more convenient. In today’s tutorial I will show you how the two loops compare to each other, and you can then decide for yourself which you prefer. Both are equally valid approaches..
Actually, this happens quite a lot in programming. Often, you can implement the same thing in two (or more) different ways, and only your personal preference will guide you to pick one. This is totally normal. Moreover, this is how people develop their own programming styles, which is natural. So congratulations! Today you are making your first step towards developing your personal unique coding style.

Hi there, I think that you will find this tutorial rather exciting! Why? Because today we will be looking your very first while loop! If you have never ever used loops before, then don’t worry – I will explain everything in detail and as usual we will see how it all works in practice. However, if you are new to programming, I recommend paying detailed attention and making sure that you understand this tutorial before moving on with the course.

Multi-Line Comments – MQL4 for Complete Beginners Tutorial Part 6
by Muhammad Awais
Hello there! Today’s tutorial is very short – in just over 3-minutes we will get to know how to use multi-line commentary in MQL4. Believe me – it is very easy! At the same time, as you will see multi-line comments are a very powerful tool and can make your programming experience so much more pleasurable: instead of deleting whole blocks of code you can use multi-line comments to “hide” these block away. Commented code will even change colour to show that it will not be executed.
