Create EA in modular conception?

 

Hello

I'm getting used to Metatrader, and i want to write my own EA. But this is not easy.

  1. Do you know if it is possible to build an EA like modular conception? I mean: Take the code from an already existing MACD EA + code from a Stochastic EA + code etc, and put it together. Why learning the whole script language, when i just need the code from some already written indicators, and put them together. Do you have any knowledge about this?[*]
  2. Is it possible in Metatrader to show different time periods like 50 ticks or 10 seconds?

Thank you.

 

Yeah you can make an EA by simply putting code from one EA into another EA. Chances are (and pretty high chances) it won't work or will not work properly, but there's still chance it will!

Though I'd rather not try to use chainsaw without reading safety instructions first...

As for different time periods: MT4 can't do that. MT5 can have custom chart periods, but not ticks, ticks are unique for each broker, we're taking about 43 minute bars.
