Check out the new article: Introduction to MQL5 (Part 7): Beginner's Guide to Building Expert Advisors and Utilizing AI-Generated Code in MQL5.

Discover the ultimate beginner's guide to building Expert Advisors (EAs) with MQL5 in our comprehensive article. Learn step-by-step how to construct EAs using pseudocode and harness the power of AI-generated code. Whether you're new to algorithmic trading or seeking to enhance your skills, this guide provides a clear path to creating effective EAs.

Learning all the ins and outs of MQL5 at once might be overwhelming. Instead, focusing on projects can make the learning process more manageable and enjoyable. Begin by mastering fundamental concepts like variables, loops, conditions, functions, and all the other basic concepts discussed in previous articles. Once you have a solid grasp of these basics, start exploring projects that interest you, such as building expert advisors or custom indicators. Every project you work on will present fresh difficulties and teach you priceless lessons. Through project-based learning, you can put your theoretical knowledge to use in real-world scenarios, which helps you better grasp the complexities of MQL5. You will progressively acquire the knowledge and abilities required to handle the complexity of MQL5 programming as you work on a variety of projects.

Accepting this method of learning gives you the ability to advance as a programmer in a steady and self-assured manner. Instead of feeling intimidated by MQL5's vastness, you'll tackle it project by project, gradually increasing your proficiency. Therefore, accept the project-based learning journey; it is the most reliable way to master MQL5. I decided to use project-based learning throughout this series because of its effectiveness. Instead of throwing you headfirst into MQL5 complexities, we'll focus on practical projects that allow you to learn through experience. Working on real-world projects will help you better understand the topic and develop useful skills that will improve your trading strategies.

We will begin with basic, beginner-friendly projects and work our way up to more complex ones. By following this methodical approach, you can ensure that you have a solid understanding of MQL5 programming before advancing to more complex topics. You'll pick up new skills and ideas with each project, which will help you gradually improve. The project we will be working on for this article will act as a hands-on example of the sequential procedure for generating Expert Advisors in MQL5. We'll also look at optimizing the benefits of AI-generated code in the context of MQL5.

Enlightening information, sir, thank you very much.

You’re welcome.
 

Very useful lessons. I look forward to see continuation of the series with additional projects and in depth progression to further learn MQL programming. Its  difficult to find a step by step introduction to the language and how to effectively apply it.

Thanks for your great work

Hello Oscar. Thank you for your kind words.
 
Hi! First of all thanks for this guide. I saw it earlier this week and went through it in search of quick and simple way to get to know MQL5, and your work has been useful. I have a very specific task to do, and now I'm looking for a way to complete it. I know my trading strategy, I know how I would like to streamline my trading with automation, I know what my algorithm / robot / EA has to do, and I've decomposed the whole process into simple steps, so I know how to translate it into MQL5. I want to program it myself (as opposed to pay somebody to do it or ask GPT to write it for me) because I want to know how to change the code whenever I need. I will try to write that down, but it seems that on multiple occasions I will have some specific questions. Is there a MQL5 forum? Or any other platform where users exchange thoughts? Much appreciated

OK, I see the MQL5 Forum, are there any others, anything noteworthy? Thanks!

Hello Rece, I’m glad you found the article helpful. If you want to write the program yourself, the best place to get answers to your questions is still the MQL5 forum. If you have any issues with your EA, feel free to reach out to me. 
 
I’ve been following your series and I must say the explanations are great and I’m looking forward to learning more from project based articles like this
