Please, advise me how to get the basics of mql for strategy testing and automated trading. Maybe there are some courses or video lessons?
Look here - especially first and fourth post (lessons and video).
Naturally, no one has cancelled the textbook and documentation.
This is how the code generator is set up. Any type can be returned, but special functions do not return anything in a system call, regardless of type.
Hi! I downloaded the indicator, but I can't put it into my EA.
Through Comment("BAY ",BAY,"\n", "SELL ",SELL) I want to know some values to determine when to open the right order. But I can't get them all at zero.
If you have tested the Expert Advisor on a certain currency pair, would you please tell me if it is better to develop it for a certain currency pair or for a universal one for all pairs? I'm interested in information from personal experience :).
I don't even know how to answer you. It all depends on the strategy. Some work on volatile pairs, some on flat pairs, some are universal and work everywhere. Although, universality as such is unlikely to be achieved. Anyway, the Expert Advisor will behave well on some pairs and not so well on others. I've chosen one pair for me, it is EURUSD, I'm writing my Expert Advisor based on it and I always test it. If something happens to be profitable, I try to test it on other pairs (I wonder how an Expert Advisor behaves there). That's my personal experience! :)))
There is an old Russian saying: "You may chase two birds with one stone...". And you are trying to chase dozens of hares at once! :DD

Thanks for the reply. You're right (or rather a proverb :) ), for one pair I got results that triple me, trying to transfer the strategy to another - the result is awful and as a result I "kill" (break) the strategy - as a result it doesn't work anywhere. Thanks again for the reply, I will take it into account :).
Hello! I downloaded the indicator, but I can't get it to work in my EA.

The signal will only appear when a value is written to the buffer and a dot should appear on the graph. But if you blink when it appears, the dot will remain and the comments will show 0 again. Try better with alert or print - then the moment of signal passing will be saved in log.
If you have black background of windows, as an extra check, try to change
#property indicator_color1 Black
#property indicator_color2 Black
to red, for example
