Discussing the article: "Developing a Replay System (Part 39): Paving the Path (III)"

 

Check out the new article: Developing a Replay System (Part 39): Paving the Path (III).

Before we proceed to the second stage of development, we need to revise some ideas. Do you know how to make MQL5 do what you need? Have you ever tried to go beyond what is contained in the documentation? If not, then get ready. Because we will be doing something that most people don't normally do.

So, it's time to move in the opposite direction, that is, to make the indicator tell the caller, which in our case is the Expert Advisor, something that has some kind of meaning. We need to know how we should proceed.

There are several things here. Some of which are quite easy to explain, others not so much. Accordingly, some of them will be easy to demonstrate, while others will require more time. But one way or another, in this article we will create the necessary foundation for building our Chart Trader. The Chat Trader that will be developed here in the replay/simulation system will be very similar to the one presented in the last article.

But it will be different from what we saw in the article: Developing a trading Expert Advisor from scratch (Part 30): CHART TRADE as an indicator?!. What we will do here may seem like child's play, thanks to the chosen method of creating the Chart Trader. But let's not spoil the surprise. Otherwise it won't be interesting. To make it easier to explain what we will be doing, we first need to understand a few more things, which will be covered in this article.
