That's a great idea indeed! It'll enrich the MetaTrader knowledge base and make the world easier for the MetaTrader's users!

My question:

When could we submit the articles and where to submit?

Thanks!

You can write articles from first of May. For this you need to go to Articles section of MQL4 Community and click New Articles link.

3 for you to consider, Lenar. My pictures may be too wide. I have the original bitmap screen captures, if you would need them to change their format from GIF. I hope they're useful.

Thank you, we will take a look at them and give our comments.

Here are the specifications previously asked for that were provided after article submission. Might be useful to anyone else considering submitting an article:
- The article must be 300 to 500 lines long and can contain some screenshots.
- It is prohibited to set font style or size in HTML-sectoring of the article. No styles are allowed, except for longtext, tablekul, mqstable, mqstable2, code, or fquote.
- The source code of an MQL4 program must be inserted with the built-in editor by pressing the button named MQL Code. After this command has been selected, the source code should be inserted into the editing field. After OK has been pressed, the highlighted code will be inserted into the text. The code width may not exceed 95 characters.
- Before making screenshots, it is necessary to set the heading size of 18. The screenshot width may not exceed 750 pixels. Formats gif or jpeg are allowed. When making screenshots containing graphs, the color scheme "Black On White" must be used.

A question I still have is how lines are counted. Since they tend to wrap depending on window width, how is 300 to 500 lines measured?

screenshot limit of 750 pixels total? So a 30x25 pixel screenshot?

Or was some other size intended?

I think most programmers are used to some specification, preferably supplied prior to submission rather than after. Hopefully once folks know what's expected, many articles will be written for the site.

Please read again more carefully:
"The screenshot width may not exceed 750 pixels."
 

Bravo !
