Where to learn writing EA

Juat look at the top of this page... "Book" and "Download It":

Just start with a very basic EA with the 3 standard functions ( init, deinit, start). Start for instance with a simple MA crossover. Make it more complex as your knowlegde grows. Programming isn't hard... just pure logic. If you don't understand the code, a computer won't understand it either. So keep it clean, and don't clutter up your documents. C++ knowledge isn't really needed, it can be helpful though. If you understand the basic programming routines (if, else, else if / for /while / switch) you can write EA's (with so help of the docs ofcourse)

Ya, MQL4 is quite easy to learn - almost all of them are in-built libraries. If you still want someone to hold your hand and walk you through, we're doing this at http://www.fxinstructor.com/eng/courses/mql7days.php

Its a 7-day crash course and should help someone delve into MQL4 ocean ;)

Hi,

Forget about C++, it's an OOL (object oriented language) which MQL4 is not. Try something for PHP or C. I think that it will allow you to grasp the main ideas behind programming.

I used to be a PHP programmer and MQL4 turned out to be very easy for me.
