I have begun prgramming my first EA and I realize that it would be useful to have a comprehensive source for all of the available functions with explanation of their parameters. I.E., functions like iMA, Crossed, OrderSend, OrderSelect, etc, etc. Can you help? Thanks.

I have been back testing manually using RSI crossover, as signal for BUY and SELL. It seems to be producing good results. But doing it manually can be a little tedious and prone to some human errors. Can an EA help test this more accurately? Another problem, I don't know how to write an EA!

Attached is a screenshot of 3 new indicators I've built that were inspired by the MTF Heiken-Ashi system currently being manually traded. I'm building a new EA called "Delta9" based around these indicators, but I'm curious to know what you think of their visual appeal for manual trading. The first...

I've picked up a great deal on this platform and it is outstanding for a free analytic intelligent tool. I like that I can use it with a great variety of brokers as well. Here is my thought. I am looking for a MT4 platform Tutor who can walk me through a number of functions I have yet to learn....
