having trouble understanding article 'Tester in the Terminal MetaTrader 4'

New comment
 

Hi, i don't know if i am dense or if this article is written in broken English or a combination. Maybe because I don't understand some of the teminology.

For example, what do these terms mean:

- Zero Bar

- indicator ZigZag

- indicator Breaks

Is there a glossary that has these terms defined?

Thanks

 

Zero Bar is the currently forming price bar, known as zero bar because in mt4 charts the currently forming bar is indexed as bar 0

Indicator zigzag refers to an indicator called zigzag because of the characteristic zigzag pattern it creates on the chart when it picks out highs and lows

Indicator breaks ...this one is for someone else to answer because I dont know what that is

 
Breaks in that article refers to where the ZigZag turns.

For example, what do these terms mean:

- Zero Bar <---- In English sense, this refers to current bar, in the chart mode, test mode, etc. Not literally zero.

- indicator ZigZag <---- ZigZag.mq4 custom indicator

- indicator Breaks <---- breakpoints refers to indicator buffers. It can be EMPTY_VALUE, or any values it takes. ZigZag breakpoints are ZERO.

Is there a glossary that has these terms defined? <---- You can start one, please.

Thanks <--- welcome.

 

thanks a lot to everybody who replied. very helpful. i might start the glossary once i feel like i know what i am talking about.

also, i'm actually a native russian speaker myself. but any knowledge or experience i've had with this sort of stuff i only know in english.

Your English is way, way ahead than many others I had encountered. This place does need assistance BADLY in having simple yet comprehensible translation from our Russian side. Especially, materials concerning ATC, brokers, etc. A lot are missed out here. I can read/understand Russian, but just bad in translating them into simple English. My wish which I have been hoping for a long time, is that the very few Russian folks left remaining in MQL4 community, who happen to have certain degree of English skills like yours, can come in.

спасибо !!
